(Note: Gah, okay, they want you to create an account to listen to this station. I get why, but tarnation, that’s inconvenient. On the other hand, it’s worth signing up for, see below.)

Irina told me, “We were dying laughing. He had just been interviewed by NPR, Wired, the New York Times, the Observer, et cetera, et cetera… What was i gonna do, ask him, How did you get started with this?”
The upset mix is back. →
Due to Muxtape’s recent data failure, my mix disappeared. I just put it back together again; the songs are all there but I’m not entirely sure if I put them back in the same order. Oh well. Bummer about the problems Muxtape suffered, but stuff happens.
