http://allana.muxtape.com - now featuring some 2008 stuff and four of the most uplifting songs in my otherwise-melancholy collection. (warning: almost entirely hipster shit.)
If I'd realised there'd be a new thread within hours, I'd have sat on this post. So...
My own, which I intend to change completely over the weekend, so poke it now if you've not yet heard Chrome's On It by Telepathe.
My current favourites: GIMMETINNITUS (good noise, Made Out Of Babies are going to be my new favourite band) britpocalypse (Hefner! Baxendale! Arab Strap!) mrpillywonk (excellent hip-hop stuff I've never heard before) peachmelba (minimal techno/electronica stuff)
A mix of old and new rock, punk, post-punk, hip-hop and other stuff. A lot of Canadian indy acts.
If there was a Freak Angels themed song on this mux that I think most White Chapeller should expose themselves to, it would be We are Wolves playing Fight & Kiss (third song down)
I love the idea of muxtape, but it doesn't seem like you can change the sound when viewing a muxtape page. Well you can change the sound of your entire computer, but I just want to change the sound of the page. Hmmm...
my ex made this for me in March, listen to "Anthony and the Johnsons: cripple and starfish" at the very least, it's unbelievably weird.
This is how I was introduced to the Mountain Goats, Field Music, and Of Montreal, all good stuff.
EDIT: her comments: (6:53:09 PM) Emily: it's "anthony and the johnsons" cripple and the starfish (6:53:19 PM) Emily: hiro and i used to lose our cool over that song (6:53:29 PM) Emily: it is amazing and also the gayest most awesome song ever (6:53:52 PM) Emily: we would do interpretive dance, with tiny french flags
got a smattering of goodies in there... some old Country Western Swing, murder ballads, covers, and Shel Silverstein's band Dr Hook & The Medicine show.
best served with bourbon whiskey and something barbecued.
