Go way back into time with a deliciously analog collection of mastermixes from 1980s-era soul radio from London. [previously, semi-related]

POLYPUNK

The Polypunk mixtapes. "selected in Tokyo, designed in London, posted from Brooklyn, hopefully enjoyed around the world." From digi nikki. via. I haven't dug through all these yet (there are 25!) but there are some real gems buried in the mixes. The "By This River" (Eno) remix on the first one for example. And the J.J. Cale jam starting about 17 minutes into # 24.

DJ Drama - artists' friend, RIAA foe

caddis — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 07:25:01 -0800

Make a mixtape highlighting a young artist, have that artist proclaim his delight about the project on the CD, reignite that artist's career, repeat, then, the RIAA has you arrested for counterfieting. The RIAA continues its vain struggle to understand the new music economy. In the meantime, at least one company gets it, offering DRM-free CD downloads of obscure titles.

It all seemed perfect: Smiths side A, Pogues side B - or whatever else you wanted. For all the folks getting nostalgic further down the page,we are trying to turn back time for 60 minutes… or, maybe, for 90...

Mix Tape for Dead Girl

botono9 — Wed, 11 Dec 2002 13:30:40 -0800

Mix Tape for Dead Girl. Writing a eulogy used to involve hours of revising and a good thesaurus. Joshua Allen opts for a cassette of field recordings and madrigals instead. Found sounds find their way to lost loved ones.

"To me, making a tape is like writing a letter..." Subject of books, movies and songs, mix tapes are a part of our culture. Some people lament the end of the tape and the rise of the CD. Some offer tips on making the perfect mix. Still not inspired? Pick a theme and have someone else do it for you. Really inspired? Join the Art of the Mix, a community dedicated to the mix tape (previously discussed here). A little fun for folks in the MefiSwap, or anyone who loves music.
