Mission accomplished.

Holy cow, Bob, your mix is rocking my world right now. If I had to pick a favorite so far, yours would be it!

Wait til you get mine.

I got yours, I haven't listened to it yet!

Didn't have to wait long, did ya?

Cocky mofuka.

I've been trying to review mixes as I get them, but I think there are about 3 I haven't reviewed yet. It's hard. I'm trying to listen to them while at work, and jot notes as I go along. There's so much good stuff, guys... y'all are doing great!

Received FT's, bgl3's, and both of Red's.

one of those is z's. we sent ours together.

That's what I was thinking at first. I couldn't tell if it was a 2 or a Z. I figured it was "2" since one of your CDs was labelled "Mix 1." I've already listened to Z's because it pretty much looked like a CD full of covers and I was really curious about some of them.

it's a z. i told you i wasn't sending two! i wouldn't lie! : )

haha, i knew that'd happen. half of my Zs look like 2s.

Just to recap...I received mixes from...

Thanks so much guys.

I have 11 copies in my car that I was planning to mail on my lunch hour, but it looks like now I'm not going to be able to run out after all.

Bright side is all should be in the mail Saturday at the latest and I'm mailing to all A&B participants and the slackers who were in and then dropped out too.

I was able to make it out so packages are in route to:

I'll try to get the remainder out on Friday

A few things about my mixes, which some of you should hopefully be receiving in the next few days:

I made 3 of them: "Listenable" (#1), "Unlistenable" (#2), and a Fonotone mix. Everyone in group B is getting at least 2 of these (#1 or #2 + Fonotone). If you do a track by track review, don't worry about the Fonotone one. I would be interested in general thoughts on it, though. I figure most people will either dig it as a whole or not at all.

what in the world do you mean by "Unlistenable"????

Don't worry about it. I think I was gonna send you the other one.

Of course it isn't really "unlistenable", but I named it that because that's how a lot of people here describe stuff that I like. It contains a lot of weird stuff and instrumentals.
