It's not all high school nostalgia gone wrong right either. The site's users have served up a pretty great collection of "Best of 2010" playlists (this one features the oft-overlooked Bowerbirds and Freelance Whales, while this one boasts Clinic, Born Ruffians and Joanna Newsom) and above-par sad, contemplative mixes that are the bread and butter of the mixed tape/CD/MP3/whatever culture. To be honest, I have yet to run into a playlist that I didn't like, which is weird, not to mention mathematically improbable, but these people tend to have really good taste, and it finally forced me to listen to a song by that Marina & the Diamonds band that I've been meaning to get to forever. 2011: The Year I'm Productive!
In an unproductive turn, after the jump is a video of Goldfinger playing "99 Red Balloons" 'cause you know you wanna (be sure to watch them exit the stage after the song):
