Muxtapes are all the rage on twitter right now, so I thought I’d make one, too. Muxtape brings the old art of making a mixtape onto the web in an interface that is so simple it might seem confusing at first.

The Constitution was
A noble piece of paper
With free society
Struggled but it died in vain
And now Democracy is ragtime on the corner—unemployed
And I’m hopin’ that it rains
Been a hopin’ for some rain
But it just don’t look like rain
I’ve seen the robins
Perched in barren treetops
They’re watchin’ last-ditch racists marching across the floor
Just like peace signs that melted […]

Folks I've got them hungry blues
And nothin' in this to lose
People tellin' me to choose
Between dyin' and lyin' and
keep on cryin'
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain't you heard the news
There's another thing to choose
A brand new world
clean and fine
Where nobody's hungry
And there's no color line
A thing like that's worth
anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
2008 Benjamin T. Greenberg
