is it possible we may be seeing a "best of" list that doesn't look like everyone else's best of 2006 list?

Thanks for the plug, B.

Sorry I've been such a lurker as of late.

Any obner vets will recogize this format (one disc of more pop stuff, one disc of more experimental stuff) from the mixtapes I post on the board every year! I took it and ran with it, so thanks to you guys for nurturing my obsessions for so many years!

Sure looks like it. Great stuff, Whiney.

I grabbed both discs. Will give a listen tomorrow. Some bands I've heard of that have piqued my curiosity, and some that I didn't know existed.

ooooo, out of curiosity, how many labels said f you, you're not putting our songs on your site for free?

One label behind a decidedly indie-centric and euphoric piece of tween-pop which would have easily led off disc one told us "hell no."

One particularly baaaaallin' label was really into us posting a track, but the artist in question balked.

A couple of really teeny labels didn't get back to me because they either don't check their email a lot or just didn't see the point in responding.

Everyone was real cool and helpful and I am really grateful!

....Uh, I mean "THROW OUT YOUR COPYWRONGS! FUCK THE RIAA!"

im gonna steal this this year

1 disc of pop + hip hop + dance

1 disc of indie + experimental + whatever

that way if i give it to friends theyll at least listen to half

very cool selection of tunes on the mixes whiney. espesh looking forward to some new bits on disc 1.

Been listening to mixtape #1 this morning, and I will listen to mixtape #2 this afternoon. There is so much good stuff that I still need to pick up from 2006. Le sigh.
