I ran across this, and found it interesting: Mux Tapes. Create an account, upload up to 12 or so songs, and share it with people. I took a sampling of what has lately been in heavy rotation, and ordered it alphabetically.
Here’s mine, so go forth and enjoy.
And if you create one, let me know – I want to hear what you’ve been listening to! A nice feature I’ve noticed is that the tapes have RSS feeds – so I’ll automagically know when your tape has been updated.
Dethklok is a noticeable omission from this list due to lack of source material on this computer – a situation that is guaranteed to be remedied in short order.
The current playlist:
- Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – This Guy’s in Love With You
- The Budos Band – King Cobra
- Johnny Cash – God’s Gonna Cut You Down
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – Messiah Ward
- Deepakalypse – driftin
- dj BC – Bogalusa Shimmy
- Firewater – Hey Clown
- High On Fire – Turk
- Juvenile – Get Ya Hustle On
- Scarlett Johansson – Town with no Cheer
- Ulver – Waltz Of King Karl
- Ween – King Billy
scarlett johansson? really?
you’re always surprising me, will.
She just released an album of Tom Waits covers – I’m liking it.
Dear Will, I am a friend of Hannah Holden (from Austria where she studied for a year or so) and she is not answering emails since a couple of months now – was wondering if you know if she is up and well or not at all. Getting slightly worried.
That comment even somehow fits, since she always was a great fan of mixed tapes – she tried to make me understand that passion, someone who knows Mixed tapes as Elvis Costello and Dire Straits recordings from my father which I used to listen to as a 5-10 year old. By the time I mixed my own, the CD started to get out of date already …

Hey Willcore,
I can’t get the link to show you’re songs, it comes up as “0 songs, 0 minutes”?
Hrm, looks like after x time of inactivity, it resets. Interesting.
Will just have to upload some other stuff.
I just tried to make a mux tape and apparently the site got shut down due to legality issues with a letter from the creator on September 25th. You probably already knew that.
No mux tape for bea :(
