To complement my long nostalgic post below, I found the short film “Mixtape Genius” on Chuck’s Blogumentary after reading comments on the Washington Post story on Metafilter. The film “concerns the tribulations of one Grad Wombish, mixtape artist. He fears and loathes the so-called digital music revolution represented by nemesis his mix cd artist Blaine Stevenson.” (links directly to RealVideo)
