Muxtape Is Down

Muxtape has been temporarily shut down by the RIAA. Little is currently known about the current or future status of the website, but CNET has was able to offer a good piece of insight via the EFF’s Fred von Lohmann. Lohmann commented awhile back that,
a site like Muxtape was only able to scrape by if […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: V.1, P.18

Three sets of music have been dominating my time.
First, Billy’s introductory Dylan mix. Although I’m not new to Dylan, I had never heard Dylan’s poem to Woodie Guthrie. Also, Billy’s song selection is dead on so it’s a solid mix regardless of one’s familiarity with Bob Dylan.
Second, Chairlift’s self-titled debut. It’s a great blend of […]

“I’m A Poet! I Know It! Hope I Don’t Blow It!”; A Proper Introduction To Bob Dylan

As Aaron mentioned in his introduction of me, I am quite knowledgeable in the areas of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and US-Canadian Relations. For my second Enough Cowbell article, I considered writing on the precarious relationship between John Diefenbaker and the Kennedy Administration, focusing on the hesitant cooperation of “Dief the Chief” during the Cuban […]

— Two tracks by The Replacements caught my eye this week - Love You Till Friday and Shutup. And although they’re technically about different subjects - Love You Till Friday being about loving and leaving someone after getting your kicks and Shutup being about people who kiss the band’s ass - their attitudes are complimentary.

What I’ve Been Listening To: V. 1, P. 14

Given my current work schedule I’m listening to music for around six out of the eight hour work day plus whatever I listen to when I get home. So, I’m listening to quite a bit more than I’m posting on my weekly muxtape these days. Therefore, I’ve decided to confine it artists that have piqued […]

A quick mix today for a couple reasons: (1) It’s the 4th (of July) (2) I’m without my external hard drive so I can’t upload a lot of what I’ve been listening to.
A few notes: the Beatles’ Yer Blues is from the Esher Demos. Dylan’s Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues is from the complete NYC […]

My listening habits have been pretty uneven this week so I’m finding it difficult to see a common theme in my choices. The new Girl Talk record Feed the Animals was just released so I had to listen.
I have mixed feelings about Girl Talk and although his schizophrenic style is full of […]

Ok, so I’m a day late with this update but late is better than never. I’m also not going to go into as much depth speaking about each band. In fact, I’m just going to list them today because I’m in a hurry to finish show listings for the week and write some about a […]

Muxtape’s been having some issues recently, but word is everything has been figured out.

Rocket From the Tombs - The Day the Earth Met…Rocket From the Tombs (2002)
Rocket From the Tombs was the band that split and created Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. In both cases the latter bands went on to […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: Vol. 1, P. 8

First, I’ve decied I’m going to try and make a muxtape each weak that coincides with my “What I’ve Been Listening To” post. The muxtape will consist of tracks I’ve posted on Enough Cowbell in addition to tracks that I’ve been listening to during my free time.
The muxtape does not reflect everything I’ve been listening […]
