Comment:

It seems to me that AOTM just gets better and better. As one door opens, another door opens. What's a girl to do? I have no idea, I'm not a girl. I am, however driven, driven like a thing possessed, like a souped-up, hot-rodded, rocket-propelled turbo-monkey. Yes, I will strive and drive and drive and strive to keep my head above the parapet. Enough with the shady mixed metaphors, you say. Ok. Here's a mix for ya. Oh, it's not ground breaking or earth shattering. It's probably not even very good. But it's here, it's downloadable, it's free and available for trades (pretty please) and did I mention it's FREE - now that's a great price. It may help you waste a valuable 78 minutes of your life, and time wasting is such a tonic for the soul. Why am I raving like a raving thing you might ask - well, it's like this -- Jonpoi is back and he's raised the stakes...Allow me to lower them...Click.

Oh just as I'm about to hit the hay Monsieur Nomates posts a clickable feast, well I aint biting, no sir. I will however make some pancakes for breakfast and give this a spin, it looks delectable. Oh and by the way if you squint your eyes the cat logo on the back cover looks like errrm a gentlemans semi-erect member. Maybe thats just me. Still it was nice of Thom Yorke to drop by.

"One God, one aim, one destiny" and one Nomates! The Beeb has never sounded so good. The crowd want more Tom, so, give the crowd what it wants, eh?

Beasties 'Something's Got to Give' next to 'Payback' by the Godfather is a very interesting pair. Love that Mos Def track (the Zero 7 remix is also terrific), the J5 track, Herbie Hancock... hell, I like the whole damn thing! Nicely done!

Downloading and looking forward to both the listen and the subsequent obligation chocolate. I love how AOTM has become so user friendly.

A great mix. Very eclectic. The Blur>Herbie hancock section works beautifully.
Great soundbytes aswell.

this looks to be right up my alley ... like the picks from NERD, Blur, Kate Bush, Nas & Dr. Dre.

Finally got round to listening to this, alas without pancakes on this occasion. I hereby accuse you of being too clever for your own good sir! Your fusing of the most improbable tracks had me shaking my head in stunned disbelief. If you carry on like this you will be forced to drop the No from your moniker as you will have more mates than you can shake a stick at. Hey, you could then be the artist formerly known as Nomates and write slave on your face. Food for thought amigo.

Yeah, this was a nice drive mix. I listened as I was on my way to my attorney and it was good as an edge to the mood I needed to be in. And I like seeing the cover again afterwards to pull out the feeling even more. Very nice.

Ah...Fingertips. I can't get enough of that. I think it must be the layered drums!

Another thing I can't get enough of, is this, and many other mixes you have forged deep in the bowls of your secret factory for the particularly talented.

Great tracks from J5, N.E.R.D, Dr Dre, Mos Def, Beastie Boys, Nomates, James Brown....Nas...Ian Brown...Hell, the entire thing is great! So are the blends...oh! the blends!

Fade out.
