Del.icio.us user “taggedhype” (Careful, it’s a big list so may slow down your browser) has managed to take many items in our RSS feed and tag them by genre, name, location (ever visit “british_invasion” ?) or… you name it.

Why do I feel this is a ruse to get him to stop ‘direct’ linking to the Hype-machine MP3 links?

not _that_ big of a problem
cheers,
