Muxtape, according to the website, is "a simple way to create and share mp3 mixtapes." Upload up to 12 songs and arrange them accordingly to construct the perfect backdrop for whatever mood you're in at the moment. The songs stream automatically and loop back to the beginning after the last selection. The website itself has a minimalist design and is extremely easy to use. Creating your own account only takes a minute or two, and listening to Muxtapes created by fellow users is just a click away.
Lately I've been staying up later than I really should, feeling contemplative (dare I say ... emo? Say it ain't so), so here's my current Muxtape playlist:
3:37 AM & Drizzling: Essential Listening for the Occasional Insomniac
- Deadly Avenger - "Everyday Is Valentine"
- Amel Larrieux - "Gills And Tails"
- Amy Winehouse - "Love Is A Losing Game (Instrumental)"
- Bang Bang - "Bye Bye Blues"
- Natalie Gardiner - "Slowly Softly"
- Mozez - "If I Fall"
- 40 Winks - "Melancholia"
- Zimpala - "Adios"
- Stateless - "Down Here"
- Little Dragon - "Stormy Weather"
- Telefon Tel Aviv - "Lotus Above Water"
- Attica Blues - "Tender (The Final Story)"
Play it here and let me know what you think (I recommend opening it up in another tab and listening as you surf). If you've made a Muxtape, please post your link in the comments. I'd love to hear it.
