My friend Alex introduced me to 8tracks yesterday. It's one of those websites where you can upload playlists. There are some rules like the playlist needs to be over 8 songs and when the same person listens to your mix for the second time the song order changes. Still, I think it's pretty cool. You can embed mixes, lastfm scrobbles the stuff you listen to on the website (!!!) and there is an option to update your twitter automatically whenever you post a new mix. I've been browsing it a bit and this website needs more awesome, so I encourage all of you to join and make brilliant mixes for me to listen to. Above you can see my first one, it's a mix I made to listen to while writing essays on a Saturday night while my friends are at a festival seeing awesome bands. Here's a link to my profile on 8tracks. Also, check out the mixes Alex made. They're brilliant.

estoy muy emocionada escuchando the get up kids ahora mismo, pero tiene muy buena pinta la mixtape que has hecho. yo hice una hace un tiempo también, pero desde ese día me olvidé...he de retomarlo. it's rather delightful.

estoy flipando. justo volvía a tu blog para escuchar la mixtape mientras paso a limpio apuntes de teoría de la literatura, oh gosh, this is positively ghastly.
