Muxtape Mentalism

Muxtape is a new fun site for sharing music. It's very simple to use and seems to exist in the same magical legal precinct that most mp3 blogs and music podcasts reside. Since becoming aware of it, I've enjoyed rifling through a variety of trendsetters' muxtapes and it was certainly only a matter of time before I made my own. Most of the tunes I've chosen come from CDs I acquired over five years ago but the roots-of-rock pre-soul rhythm & blues jiving sound is one I'm digging right now. If you've made a muxtape or know of one I should check out then go ahead and leave a comment below.

Here's mine: Diddy Wah's Muxtape

So as not to be a tease for all the mp3 vultures that drop by, all the tunes are also available for download as single files. Dig in.
