Muxtape may be dead or returning as something new, but Opentape is taking Muxtape’s original idea and UI, making it self-hostable, and running with it. I just set one up here, check it out.

(Edit, 2009/11/22: I just removed the old mixtape for storage space. The track list:

• Giraffes? Giraffes! – When the Catholic Girls Go Camping, the Nicotine Vampires Rule Supreme.
• Zeni Geva – Angel
• This Heat – Horizontal Hold
• Keith Hudson – I’m All Right
• Sun City Girls – Cruel And Thin
• Charalambides – Silvatica

Pretty good, in retrospect. I should make a new one.)

Since Muxtapes are no more, I felt I should make a post listing what tracks were on mine at its time of death.

1. Yura Yura Teikoku — 2005 Nen Sekairyoko
2. Murcof — Camino
3. Coil — Teenage Lightning (10th Birthday Version)
4. Muslimgauze — Saladin Mercy
5. Slowdive — Souvlaki Space Station
6. Global Communication — 14.31
7. Burial — Southern Comfort
8. Gescom — Go Sumo

Combined with this other muxtape, I feel like my run on that site was pretty good.

I swear I’ll get to the 50 Great Albums thing eventually. I’ve been really busy—who knew grad school took up lots of time?
