I was wondering could someone send me an email link with the newest online mixes not included in the original seven. Guess I've been missing those emails too.

Mixes in the Mail!
Well, my CDs have finally been shipped! Unfortunately, because I'm in Canada, you guys might not get them for a couple weeks.
If you're part of the online group, PM me, and I'll hook you up with my SendSpace links tomorrow (I may have to re-upload...)
Enjoy!!
edit: das Monkey, can you send me the links to all the online mixes other than the original batch? I tried to PM you, but I wasn't allowed

So far I have received Shiv Shankly, Damifino, DJLinus, maxfisher and wendersfan. I have listen to Shiv's, Damifino's and DJLinus completely, and am half way through maxfisher's. Damifino's mix could have come out of my collection, Shiv's is the most removed from my familiarity. I really enjoyed DJLinus and am really enjoying maxfisher's. From the listing I can not wait to start wendersfan - he is older than I thought and nice to see some older stuff on a mix.
I sent mine out earlier this week and hopefully some will start getting these soon. Sorry my cover is not up to par with most of the ones I have received so far. I am beginning to think my mix is going to be rather pedestrian compared to most everybody else's mix, but I hope you still enjoy it.
Is anyone working on a rating chart?

Just received the mixes from cusm and wendersfan. I have listened to half of damfino's (while driving yesterday) and am listening to cusm's right now.
I need to hear them all a few times to register any critique of any form.
EDIT to ADD: I updated my earlier post with my tracklists (in .jpg form).

I came home yesterday and finally got my mail for the week: mixes from Big Dave, wendersfan, maxfisher, Shiv Shankly, and Damfino. How cool is that to have a bunch of new music waiting for you?
Just judging by some of the covers y'all made, I'm going to have to step it up the next time we do this (and I hope there is a next time). Christmastime is just kind of hectic and I regret not polishing up the total package of my mix.
I listened to Big Dave's mix last night (without looking at the tracklisting first):

No idea, I just tend to think, with the exception of our two crypt keepers, most of the "older" members are close to my own age (34).

wendersfan's (mostly) old fart mix :
I still regret being sick on the night of the Snow Patrol concert a couple of years ago. It would've been fun to hang out with one of my elders.

Some reviews for the internet group, still need to go through last 4, which I received in the email. Thanks for sending that email das Monkey. Enjoyed the mixes so far, and glad that I got to participate. Hope you guys don't take it personal, i'm pretty bad at doing reviews, so if it starts making you turn red, uh, I really didn't mean to make it sound like that, I'm just bad at choosing words and reading peoples is even worst.
About my mix:
The horns thing, well ya I know it was gonna be iffy, but it made up a lot of stuff that was being played when I was young so to me it's always gonna be a part of the soundtrack of my adolesence. As far as it being personal? hmm, I think it's alot of how I am now, trying to keep peppy most times but sometimes a bit vitriolic. What I figure is sometimes normal for most peoples.

Ok first off, thank you das for helping out with emails. I think I figured out the problem so if someone is still missing stuff, you can contact me. I'm going to mail out what I've received so far at the end of this week to you.

Two reviews of mixes:
DJ Linus's Crypod:
Shiv Shankly's Scattershot:

I am listening to these in the order I receive them & they are piling up! I've also listened to the offerings from Wendersfan and dasMonkey, so I'll be back soon with more comments. Meanwhile, I've got cusm & auto on deck.
Also, thanks for the comments Big Dave!

I feel a little bit stupid now since it seems I'm the only one who did not include a tracklist with their discs. Oh well, next time, it seems.
Admittedly, in order to get it out on time, I really didn't have time to print the tracklist - I had no accessible printer when I was burning the discs.
The discs I do have now: maxfisher, DJ Linus, cusm, wendersfan, auto, Big Dave, das Monkey, hal9000, Vryce, Shiv Shankly, Damfino.
I'll post reviews once I've had sufficient time to digest them, which will probably be in the new year.

I've gotten many discs but not all of them. Once I get them all I'll go out and send them to das and you guys.
I may include some kind of bonus for the mail group.

Btw, for those of you using Mac/iTunes I submitted my CDs to Gracenote, so they should load when you put the cds into iTunes. I know Gracenote might end up removing the track lists because they only want legitimate CDs being submitted, but it might work for a little while.

Glad to see mine made it to at least some people. They all went out at the same time.
I'm sure my mix is a bit pedestrian compared to the others I've received so far. But it was a personal mix and one that I felt conveyed a story. They are all artists that I enjoy and try to introduce people to when I can. A lot of artists that make up the mix tapes I've received so far, I've never heard of. But that is the fun part of this in being exposed to new music.
I'm looking forward to reviews of my mix. Though, when you listen to it, you may not want to have any sharp objects near by, such as razor blades. Nor would you want a big bottle of sleeping pills.

Although, I'm going to update the notes to give some notes on some of the specific tracks.

Anybody who is holding off sending their mix to me, please do not. I'm leaving the US for an indefinite but long period of time next Wednesday or Thursday and getting the mixes will be a pain in the ass if I do not have them before then.
Thanks!
