Remember those mix tapes your buddies use to make you? Ok, maybe if you are under 25 years old you probably haven’t even seen a cassette in real life. But take my word for it, it was cool at one point in time.
Muxtape is bringing back some retro-chic to the online music sharing community. It allows you to make a MP3 online ‘muxtape’ up to 12 songs at 10 MBytes each. The design and execution is dead simple but some how very appealing. It looks like someone made it in their bedroom when they were grounded by their parents. Its design is also clearly Apple inspired with its iphone-esque interface but i suspect it does not work on an iphone since the music is played via a Flash media player embedded on the site.
Take a look for yourself and I’ll be waiting to hear your very own muxtape.
If you haven’t seen the first 10 episodes of Yacht Rock, go and catch up before playing this latest episode that’s been a long time waiting….

Assuming you’ve got nothing against Gibson guitars, then this is the only axe you will need on your next world tour. The Gibson Robot Guitar. Its tuning pegs are motorized and automatically tunes itself using a selectable, but seems uncustomizable, knob. Now I officially have no more excuses not to start my Mamas & Pappas tribute band.
