Kanye West Live at Nokia Theatre 4/22

I just saw Kanye's Glow In The Dark Tour last night at Nokia here in LA and it is all I can think about this morning. Definitely the best hip hop show I have ever seen. I won't spoil any of the surprises for folks that haven't seen the show yet, but please see it if you can. This is the kind of show that you will sit back in your rocker and tell your grandchildren that you saw way back in 2008.

Muxtapes

I don't know how many of you have checked out Muxtape yet, but if you haven't it's definitely worth a few minutes of your hectic day. Basically its a really simple site where users can upload a 12 song mix of any songs they wish, and share it with the world. People's "muxtapes" are shown randomly every time you go to the site, so you never know what you are gonna get.

A great way to find new tunes, check out some of my favorite Muxtapes below:

Elegantly Wasted

Monostereo

Pop Quake

Cava Cava

Ming Dynasty
