Is tumbletape the online playlist sharing tool I am looking for?

Today, I found tumbltape while reading the tweets I follow that came thru last night. With the shutdown of muxtape, I’ve been thinking about how someone might come back with a new idea to fill the gap.

There’s opentape, which does the same thing but you’d have to host files on your machine, and not through tumblr account. I actually want to host my own files, so maybe I’ll have to check out opentape, too.

My tumbletape playlist:

Radio Free Brooklyn – Phish, 1998, Lucerna Theatre, Prague

As promised, I worked today on getting some tunes uploaded to test out the Streampad player (original post here). The first sampling is a classic bit of Phish from their European tour in 1998. My process of doing this definitely isn’t there yet, but thanks go to Greg Johnson for putting the code out there that generates the directory list of links.

    My own personal radio station

    I am testing out a version of Streampad for WordPress, so you’ll now see the bar at the bottom of the site. This will let me take any of my mp3 files, upload them to my site, and stream them to anyone (including myself) from anywhere. It’s like my own personal radio station.

    This concept is really intriguing to me right now, with the invention of blip.fm, song.ly, pandora, last.fm, and all these other online streaming/uploading sites. For me, for now, I like the idea of streaming my own tunes.

    My vision is that I can have my whole library available to me, from anywhere, any time – and I don’t have to sync my iPod or take up gigs (I have over 200 gigs of music right now) on my HD (I really want a macbook air…)

    It’s almost here – it is here if you are tech-savvy and can create your own music server and hook it to the web. But, this widget from Dan Kantor is helping me get one step closer and it only took one click to add it to my blog.

    Punch you in the eye

    It’s not until March this year when my favorite band will descend upon Hampton, VA and change the place into hippie heaven for three days, but I’ve already started talking about it with my friends. Calling the first song, wondering what t-shirt Trey will have on, hoping it’s not too cold in the lot while walking down Shakedown Street.

    And then, I was watching skiing on NBC this weekend, and while they were reviewing the rankings, there in the background, I heard it. A very noticeable tune. Whoever was working that day was definitely a phan, because it was most definitely Punch You in the Eye (PYITE) – a jumping old school Phish classic.

    Thanks NBC – you gave me a weekend boost.

    Open source presidency

    On day one, already a great sign about the ‘open source presidency’:

    ExecutiveOrder – PresidentialRecords

    It is very encouraging to me to see that Obama is willing to share and disclose particular presidential records. The government may need to maintain certain levels of security and privacy, and I am confident that it will do so, but there should also be a commitment to public disclosure. The people do have a right to understand the makings of their government and the implications of particular policies. With the revoking of Executive Order 13233, I hope that a new breed of journalists and bloggers and writers and economists and legal experts pick up on the available materials and help us, the lay-people, interpret the motions, orders, and policies.

    I’m looking forward to this with excitement.

    Obama video – Daft Punk says it all

    I just found this Daft Punk video through a friend who regularly reads Pitchfork and loved it so much I had to share. After watching the inauguration online today at MSNBC, I am pumped about what is to come.

    The following is a mixed-media stop motion music video and celebration commemorating the election and inauguration of Barack Obama as the forty-fourth president of these United States.
