Blip.fm, DJinFrisco, OpenTape Volume 2

I’m having a lot of fun with blip.fm – It’s twitter for music. Blip.fm works by searching the web looking for music content hosted by others. Blip.fm is limited by what is currently being shared by others.

I thought it would be fun to put up some songs currently unavailable on Blip.fm. These songs deserve an audience. I’ll have a new list every few weeks so bookmark http://jbinfrisco.com/opentape and swing by for a listen. And if you start blippin too, come check out my profile and say hello.

Muxtape.com – Make a mixtape for all to hear.

Flashback (Around 7th grade):

Did you ever own a tape recorder when you were a kid? Well if you are 30 something you probably did. First were the big bulky one-speakered GE models, then the boom boxes, and then the Sony walkman. I remember listening to my radio and waiting for songs I liked to come on the radio so I could record them. The idea of being able to play music “on demand” enthralled me.

Well one look at this site and I think you will agree that we have moved out of the dark ages. This nifty little web app brings back a simple concept, the mixtape. You can upload up to 12 songs (10MB each) and then send on to friends. No more burning discs and shipping around the globe.

I can think of dozens of ways to ‘socialize’ this site. Can’t wait to see what develops here. Check out this months first effort from moi. Silversun Pickups, Frightened Rabbit, Kooks, & more.

JBinFrisco’s 1st Muxtape

You can use your right and left arrow keys to go thru the songs, return pauses. Awesome.

Update: It appears you can’t share the muxtape link directly. Still trying to figure it out. Too bad, this mix I made is BA!!!!
