Discovering Music on Mixcloud

Two weeks ago, Alex Day wrote about the future of radio. He ended up on a site called Mixcloud where you can upload your own mixes, radio programs, and podcasts for free. Probably the best part is, Mixcloud pays royalties to artists and so you can use copyrighted songs as long as you tag and label them properly.

I've always wanted to try being on the radio, and Mixcloud is the next best thing. Better, I think, because you can play the music you want, you don't need to worry about licensing, and you don't need advertisements.

I uploaded my first program today. Eight songs with a little commentary in between tracks. For me, this is a step up from making playlists and it was fun to put together. You can listen to it below or directly on Mixcloud.
