Muxtape
I can’t see them lasting very long due to the intricate legal web that entangles the entire music industry, but the guys over at Muxtape (I’m assuming they’re guys here) have set up a cool service where you can create your own mixtape by uploading a maximum of 12 mp3s to their servers for streaming.
It’s a nice concept - people really seem to put some effort into their playlists, and I found more than a few of them to be quite agreeable (the lists, I mean. I don’t know anything about the people.)
I created this fine set of guilty pleasures (damn, I swore I would never use that phrase again) I mean, this fine set of classic pop and r&b [link to playlist here] Click and play, it’s that easy - and it’s just as easy to set up an account.

This is a great, smooooooth springtime mix, Terje. I have Chaka Khan’s version of “What ‘Cha Gonna Do for Me,” but I hadn’t heard AWB’s version before. I love how it reminds me of George Benson’s “Turn Your Love Around.” Is it from ‘81 or thereabout as well?

You’re right - it’s from 1980. I have Ned Doheny’s version as well (he co-wrote it), but he’s nowhere near as good as Chaka and AWB. My favorite on this mix is the Bill Champlin track at the end - it’s so, so great. Dave Hungate, former Toto-bassist played on Champlin’s album and in jest he called it the best album nobody’s ever heard.
