Muxtape seems like a great idea and just what I've been looking for: a very simple web-based mix-tape making machine. I'm tempted to complain that is doesn't have certain features (like, say, a search feature), but that would be an argument against its simplicity, which I love. I'm a little doubtful they'll survive the lawyers of the music biz, but here's hoping. My first muxtape is here. There will be more.
(For more simple, useful web apps, also see Instapaper and Ta Da Lists.)

I love the internet: an extraordinarily well-researched article on the different versions and uses of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." (via kottke)
[Imogen Heap's] song "Hide and Seek" soundtracked the final moments of the OC's second season, the slot occupied a year before by a full rendition of [Jeff] Buckey's "Hallelujah." This pairing was so successful that, for the finale of season three, the final moments were accompanied, once again, by Heap, this time covering --and, to be clear, I am not shitting you--"Hallelujah." This is the point where the OC consumes itself whole, and it is a sickeningly gorgeous thing to watch.
