I was kinda bummed to hear that muxtape got the axe from the rotten RIAA, but there's a new kid in town, and he's called 8tracks.

Over at Stones Throw Records, Peanut Butter Wolf has created a Valentine's Day Mix that you can download for free--but only through Feb. 14.

Click here for a description, a playlist, and a link to download it as an .mp3 file.

While you're there, check out the very cool roster of artists recording for Stones Throw: Madvillain, J Dilla, Aloe Blacc, Quasimoto, and Georgia Anne Muldrow, among others.

And the Chrome Children, Vol. 2 compilation is still entirely free, so nab that, too.
