I wanted to post a recent muxtape - so that I could re-introduce my musical blog to my everything else blog - but I just realized there is no more muxtape!!! There is a long letter covering the back ground, history, politics and resolution - below is an excerpt - but suffice it to say that one of the most graphically enthralling sites any music aficionado has known is defunct - instead of being de funk! Bummer.
And so I made one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever faced: I walked away from the licensing deals. They had become too complex for a site founded on simplicity, too restrictive and hostile to continue to innovate the way I wanted to. They’d already taken so much attention away from development that I started to question my own motivations. I didn’t get into this to build a big company as fast as I could no matter what the cost, I got into this to make something simple and beautiful for people who love music, and I plan to continue doing that. As promised, the site is coming back, but not as you’ve known. I’m taking a feature that was in development in the early stages and making it the new central focus.
