The Illuminated Mixtapes — a running series of playlists for streaming, with hand illustrated covers for each one. Some nice background music while enjoying your MeFi.
This is good.

Again with the copyright infringement ... I don't get how people seem to think that if it is called a mix-tape and they draw a cut cover suddenly copyright no longer applies.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

and they draw a cut cover
Not being snarky here, I don't understand what this means. The drawings on the covers you have a problem with? Or the covers of the songs by other artists?

Hmmmm... These are really good mixtapes, but taking tracks without permission is still pretty crappy.

People built radio empires on the backs of musicians for decades paying a few cents per spin (if at all). Not to mention the industry, or Youtube. The evil of one person doing it for nothing (no ads on that page) shrinks to oblivion by comparison.
Every few months an online mix I hear reveals a new genius tucked away in some obscure corner of the world -- Mexico City, Turkey, Latvia -- (people akin in talent to Boards of Canada) that I'd never have known about via mass media. I'm not worried about name stars very much.
