Comment:

One nice thing about a CD burner: it makes a nicer device to mop up stray tracks floating around (thus, the title of the series). So these generally have no theme - just a mopping up operation.

don't ever do anything like post 15 mixes that "generally have no theme - just a mopping up operation" again. ever. "mopping up" is something i do on third shift at a convenience store. this is just lazy.

SELFISH SELFISH SELFISH SELFISH SELFISH!!!!! You have been posting on this board long enough to KNOW that mixes only stay on the Recent board for 48 hours at best. If you're going to take up FIFTEEN spaces for yourself, you had better make it worthwhile. Remember that the site is called ART of the mix...you don't have to post every 60 minutes worth of mp3s you put together.

WISE UP!

wow...some people sure like to think they're the AOTM police, don't they? to both almost famous and ironynotincluded, once you own your own mix site you can make your own rules, until then this site is a free-for-all so stop bitching! ;o)

I understand what Geoffrey's saying, and he's clearly correct about the site not having (nor, perhaps, needing) rules. However, it doesn't really seem within the SPIRIT of this site to post so many mixes at once - it does, after all, push many other worthy mixes off (never to be seen again, in most cases). Moreover, when one posts so many mixes at once (particularly those with this "mop" type approach), it makes many folks (such as myself) just skip over them entirely. That said, this series has many great songs - the Skeeter Davis song is one of my all-time faves. I would just rather see such a series posted, say, one or two volumes per day. But again, there are no rules so people can feel free to do as they wish - it's just a bit lame to exploit the site that way, IN MY OPINION.

Well. I'm sorry to have offended the third-shift convenience-store workers' faction, and not having exercised the quality control standards that include homemade best-of comps for bazillion-selling artists. Plenty of people post way more mixes than I do. As to Sean's comment re "pushing...worthy mixes off (never to be seen again)": if there's an absolute limit on the number of mixes on the site, perhaps that info ought to be posted somewhere. Would it help if I mentioned that, given what was available for any given mix, I did pay attention to sequencing? I am sorry if you're upset...but I'd have to say the tone of AlmostFamous's remarks is much more offensive than posting mixes...which is the site's raison d'etre, no? I thought people might be interested in being reminded of (in some cases) songs they might have forgotten, or intrigued to imagine song x next to song y. Sorry I didn't meet your standards on either count. Note also that before this, I hadn't posted for three months. So spread 'em out if you wanna.

And, there you go...

Your remark to irony is absolutely f'n hilarious. LOL.

Like the overview..and though I "kind of see what they were saying" in your defense (which you don't need...I realize) this site has a query function which allows one to search for mixes in a certain time frame...and sort by any variable available (i.e. feedback, genre, et al)...so, I really don't get caught up in the spam police laws.

I for one like seeing a Collection posted at once...it just makes reviewing the catalog that much easier.

Ahem, good tunes by the way.
