Been listening to The Republic Tigers - Buildings & Mountains alot recently. Fantastic track. Just downloaded the album. Will give my own unique critique when I’ve given it a good listen through a couple of times. Nothing to stop you getting a taste though…

Just came across this “fucking rad” (because it is) muxtape. Awesome stuff - ROCK ON!!
Been meaning to make a post about this for a while now. I’m a big fan of sites that let you interact with music, and help you discover bands and songs that you wouldn’t normally listen to, or wouldn’t have even heard of (such as last.fm and Hype Machine). So thats why when I found out about Muxtape, I really fell in love with the premise.
If you love making mix tapes, this is the on-line equivalent to share your creations. Its really simple. Create a free account, upload up to 12 songs - you’ve then got your on-line mix tape! Or muxtape as the case would be. You can even browse other peoples muxe’s. It doesn’t really get more complicated then that. Its just something fun to mess around with and explore, and there in lies the appeal.
On a side note; check out Internet Joggings’ post on how to combine’s Muxtape and Fluid into an iTunes-esque jukebox with Coverflow that’s really cool for browsing other people muxes!
EDIT: There’s also a windows version that uses the new Adobe Air runtime software, called Muxmaster!
Daft Punks Discovery album is one of my favourite albums, where-by I can consistently listen to the whole thing all the way through without skipping tracks or turning it off (my measure of how good an album truly is). Digital Love is one of the standout tracks for me, and Alphabeats cover is a nice mellowed out Indie version, that cuts out a lot of the electronic vibe of the original version. In a good way.
