In the mix…well, kind of
by Steve
I’ve been toying with various online mix-y type offerings, and thought I’d share one I’ve uploaded to 8tracks, a site that offers a particularly user-friendly experience.
The Inaugural Wait Until Next Year Mix
It’s only short, but I figured it was a start. If I get the time I might attempt something more involved, maybe use Audacity or something.
What do you use for your online (or offline) mixing/mixtape/podcasting needs? Do you have any mixes/mixtapes/podcasts to share?
Wait until next year 
Much obliged. I’m at a library now and left my headphones at home, but it sounds like I have a new playlist as soon as I get home.
When I volunteered at a radio station, I hosted a weekly show and had the option of podcasting our shows but I decided not to, because I was a believer in the excitement of live radio. I sort of wish I’d saved one or two shows, just to reminisce about my verbal tics and inadvertently playing songs with bad words.
I edited shows and interviews with Cool Edit Pro, which was great but costs $. Audacity is also good, and it’s free.

Working at a radio station sounds like a lot of fun – in the absence of an archive perhaps you should revive your DJing career – or start a podcast? I’d subscribe.
I love Audacity, but I hate it crashing. I may well check out Cool Edit Pro. I have to do some audio stuff at work, so I might be able to get them to pay for it…

I love this mix, Steve! Thanks for sharing some great music! I’m dancing around my apartment and cleaning to the sweet sounds of El Guincho right now. Thank you 🙂

GET OUT. it just gets better and better. sorry for real-time commenting… but I just came running back into the living room to comment when I heard the first notes of Dirty Projectors.

if you’re confused, I know, I was, too. I must have whipped through The Inaugural, and then 8track flipped over to another playlist which also had El Guincho “Palmitos Park”… I don’t know why. Confounded technology…

Glad you liked the mix. El Guincho is great – like Panda Bear playing at a carnival or something.
I’m still getting my head around 8tracks too – so don’t worry about any confusion caused!

This sort of boundary % black and white is semitomes quite troublesome. But, I do think it is good to open your blog/journal for comments, coz somehow it is still very encouraging to have people responding to what you have wrote. ^^ eh well, just feel you are a very poor guy having to reply to dozens of messages everyday, which seems never-ending sigh T_T honestly, I feel frustrated whenever I come across comments like these it is just like a cycle newbies step into the gothic lolita field. After acquiring certain knowledge about the scene, they start to fighting against each other verbally with a view to confirm theirselves as an eligible one And one more thing, it’s a trend I guess. Many people nowadays are impulse-driven: Responding without reading and thinking thoroughly about the 6Ws. (that’s why I say you are poor)XDXD~ perhaps let’s put an end to this discussion, shall we? because the next debate will be staged somewhere again one day UNLESS we all learn how to accept and appreciate others. ^^ p.s. my comments are in fact very local and rude( in cantonese~ because I was too tired when I gave the comment~ )
