Leonard posted a mix using mixwit and finally got me to go and make an account. The ability to search for pre-uploaded music rather than uploading it yourself is really nice, but it looks like they don’t cache any of it, so I have no idea how long the mixes will hang around. If they could borrow a page from Muxtape and cache the music on Amazon S3, it would really be a perfect service. Or at least cache all music for muxtapes that have been played in the last 30 days.
Regardless of how long it’ll hang around I put together a mix of stuff I’ve been listening to lately, either new(er) to me or re-found. Enjoy.

I’ll catch it from home.

Just have to say, the song selection from The Hold Steady was an excellent choice. Now I’ll have to get back into that album again.

Hey Phil,
Based on this blog post and the last one, you should do two things:
Read http://www.RetroLowFi.com - a music and pop culture blog
Go see http://www.marcwithac.com play music here in Orlando some time. He’d be right up your alley. I promise.
Type II cassettes? Marc made his most recent album on them (well, some sort of a 4-track recorder, I don’t know the ins-and-outs of it). Jonathan Richman’s New England song? Marc has a song called Nerdy Girls where he pays serious homage to that tune’s opening.

i wonder if this could spur a revival of cassettes. probably not, which is too bad since the sound quality from a type II beats the crap out of a standard mp3, and is much more fun in an archaic kinda way.
