The Sweeping The Nation Muxtape Challenge
The up to date list is now kept here
So you're already aware of the beautiful simplicity of Muxtape, yes?
Well, we have a challenge for you.
We want every year of the last four decades, 1967-2007, represented by a full twelve track Muxtape of songs from that year, each compiled by a different person. Add your name to the list via the traditional communication methods - comment, email, Myspace message, brick through window - and if you're not sure which year to go for, we'll assign you one. We'll keep count right here. You may also like to guess which popular online music magazine's message board this is being carried out in conjunction with. (If you've asked for one that wasn't previously allocated in the comments and we've not said anything, just assume it's yours)

I'll do 1968 if nobody else wants to take it at this point.
1988 - please k thanx Jim Waterson
Consider them both yours.
Hello, I really enjoy your site! Could I join in and do 1997 if it hasn't already been taken please?
Thank you!
Err..
I (jkp88 on DiS) already asked for 1997. can i still have it?
Oh crikey. Er, there's a kind of dual thing going on on DiS, I suppose, but the fairest I can say is whoever gets theirs in first will get the official link.
1997, done. http://twoheadedboy.muxtape.com/
Sorry, Simonon. There's plenty of other years available if you want.
Bah you go offline for a day and looks what happens! Anyways mine was going to be http://nineteennintyseven.muxtape.com - I couldn't get Radiohead to upload for me so never mind.
Could I have 1971 please? I'm on DiS as icehockeyhair, and thought I'd posted asking for it..
You did post, but to request 1970. Which is it going to be? Eh? Eh?
Assuming I work out how to do all this gubbins, I'm not sure whether it'd be more interesting to do a year of my own choice or an assigned one.
Interesting for me, I mean - naturally I make no promises about it being interesting for anyone else.
err, its james by the way. sorry to be such a pedant.
I'll take 1971, if it's still free, otherwise I'm happy to be allocated a year at random.
Why did I put John? Changed, anyway. Jez, you can have 1971.
Can I take 1982 please?
1971 done and dusted

More than happy to take 1990 of your hands if still available
Matt
I'll take 2000. Having problems uploading but it should be ready in the next few days.
Is there any deadline on this? I quite fancy the idea, and I've got a shortlist of three possible years... but most of my CDs are packed away at the moment.
i'll take 2004... on it now...
actually, i take it back... it will monopolize muxing...
sorry
I've had a go at 1969 to fill out the earlier years. I may fiddle later, but here it is:
http://fourstar69.muxtape.com/
I'll try and write some sleevenotes tomorrow.
That's 1986 done:
http://manicpopthrills.muxtape.com/
At least I think it is.

The year 2000 is finished:
http://uppi2000.muxtape.com/
I'd love to do 2004, really, just great tunes from that year, yeah? No agenda or just evocative tracks of that era?
Nearly finished 2004 ... should be done by tomorrow night :-)
Sorry not finished mine yet, should be rounding it off this weekend as I now have a functioning computer again.
Just so everyone knows, I've had to change one track on 1969.
Phew... 2004 is uploaded and sequenced, enjoy :-)
Love from Adas at www.thisisoffset.co.uk
And here is the url :-)

Ok, I'll grab '93 if you want...
I'd like to do 2002 please. Having a look back, there are some great albums/songs from then.
here's my 2002:
http://twothousandandtwo.muxtape.com/
'Tis done:
http://9t3.muxtape.com/
Would've gone for a more eclectic mix, but y'know, it *was* a great year for power-pop...
I'll have 1991 please - the year I first really got into music. I'll get all misty-eyed looking back...
http://makingprogress.muxtape.com/
If it didn't get through last time for '88
Jim Waterson
I'd really like to do 1973, and it appears to be free, so it appears to be mine
Ah, i see '73 is taken, and a fine muxtape it is too. Instead please may i do 1976.
many thanks
GHIGHATRON TAKE 1989.
GHIGHATRON TOOK 1989.
