Mixwit: personal, online mixtapes

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

So I came across a slick little site that allows you to make a playlist, select your cassette design, customize the title, and post the cassette mixtape into your website, blog.

The first of our series is from artist Su-Mei Tse of Luxembourg. The headphones, the concept (plus the little Sony turned Sumy branding is a kick), it’s interesting but…
