New blog, who dis? Welcome to The Mixtape Rolls!

Hey there, @multifandom.andreijiroh.dev on the speed dial here (still brainstorming for my folf fursona name, so hold the line if anyone in the furry fandom asks me about that)! I intend to submit this for @leaflet.pub 's Atmosphere Field Reporter Corps but autistic burnout hit me like a bus again and missed the deadline actually submitted during the extended deadline period so don't worries, so here we are in the hellscapes. In case you missed it, here's the Leaflet Lab Notes post about it:

The plan here would be do the weekly curation for a month to see if I could do this alongside my usual schoolwork at college as incoming second-year IT student and open-source stuff at @recaptime.dev HQ in the long-term, preferably on monthly basis after the 3 months of weekly posts but you do you.

What's do you mean "blogrolls but for playlists and DJ sets"?

If you've been blogging for decades, you probably familiar with the blogroll pages or the recommended publications feature from Substack and Ghost to even beeliihv and others. The idea here is that we'll be compiling what y'all been cooking with your own homebrew mixtapes in the form of weekly curated picks here in Leaflet.

How to submit your entries?

We'll be using @semble.so from the fine folks at @cosmik.network to receive them and to allow others to discover them as well without the horrors of maintaining a Google Sheet, although please do post them on Bluesky with either hashtag #mixtape or #djset for discoverability too. We accept most streaming platforms' playlist links for both mixtapes and DJ sets as well as regular YouTube video and SoundCloud release links for DJ sets, especially if you are a furry DJ mixtaping stuff live. Just sign in with your Atmosphere account, plop that and you're good to go.

If you do a mixtape with a lot of lore innit between songs like I would do with music headcanons and mixtaping stuff in the multifandom multiverse hellscapes, I'll be setting up a Tally form for those later but feel free to DM me in the meanwhile.

New weekly issues will ship later over the weekend, hopefully around Sunday night before a new Hermitcraft Recap episode drops in Philippine Standard Time, but expect tweaks in schedule as classes return in August at STI College Meycauayan. If you want to work with me on writing them or have other ideas, let me know .

See you soon at our inaugural issue on July 12 (or 13)!
