A dear friend of ours passed a few months ago and its got me crying so hard my face hurts. An increasingly popular character who's passing will cut deep into the lives of those who were seemingly able to able to hang up their tape-decks and come on to chicks via the interweb with an e-mixtape. Thats right sucka's, for a while it seemed like D.I.Y kids could put all their pop punk and Husker Du on the internet and not faff about with dragging themselves to prehistoric audio shops and begging the owner to sell them discontinued tapes.
All mockery aside, I thought this was a great idea. A simple interface that gave folks the chance to upload 12 (mp3 only) tracks of their choice and share them pretty much anonymously with all the other cats using it. Yeah it sounds mad dodgy and that would seem to be because it is - the RIAA's imposed rent has forced the site to suspend its service in the same way it did with the popular Pandora project, which died on its arse faster than a population of dinosaurs on a planet hit by a massive fucking meteorite.
Anyways, if it ever comes back then music fans may well have something to rejoice about, but chances are slim. Boo-shitting-hoo.
