Muxtapes: EarFuzz discovers Web 2.0

EarFuzz Junior Side A

EarFuzz Junior Side B

It’s like a record stuck on loop but apologies again for the break in posting. I’ve been on holiday the last week and a bit and actually spent time away from both my music and the computer during this period. After the initial withdrawal symptons it was actually pretty pretty good.

Anyway, I haven’t had a chance to trawl through the dusty crates yet but it’s always nice to go into the weekend with some music and noticed Oliver talking about this Muxtapes site over at Soul Sides. Funnily enough, I recently put together a mix CD for one of my girlfriend’s friends whose only request was that it needed to be the kind of stuff that got played round ours after a night out plus something that would fit with the new and very welcome sunshine hitting British shores. So, job done, and with the CD sitting there it seemed logical to put it up on muxtapes to supply some summer tunes while I sort out more posts.

I’ve had to split the CD into two tapes to fit on the site which mindblowingly are titled Earfuzz Junior Side A and EarFuzz Junior Side B. There’s nothing extravagantly rare or unheard of on there and it was actually quite refreshing to put together something where overwhelmingly common (Bobby Byrd) could sit alongside less well known tunes like Alice Clark. I’ll probably put together something more along the lines of Soulsides sneak preview collection in the coming month but sometimes, to paraphrase Liberace, it’s nice to return to the classics.

Have a good weekend anyway and I’ll be back with the dustier Mp3s next week.
