Right now, very little. There has not been a contest for a while. I posted this two weeks ago. It doesn't seem that long ago that it was very rare for a mix to sit in the most-recent five list for over a few days, let alone three weeks.

I found some Office Max adhesive CD sleeves, intended for manila folders, that I use now for sending out mixes . I printed this image on card stock, with the sleeve attached to the back. The track listing was visible through the clear plastic sleeve. I rounded the corners and tried to make it look more like an iTunes gift card. The mix was well received, with tracks 2, 7, 8, 12, 16, 18 and 20 marked as most liked/enjoyed.
Most of these were songs that I had been listening to quite a bit.2, 4, 8-10 and 17. I found the image of the silhouette and antlers online and designed the rest, complete with UPC barcode and numbers. The tracks were listed as one paragraph under TERMS AND CONDITIONS. This is a mix I can listen to in the car, at work, walking and with my family.
My Name Escapes Me
May 18, 2009 by derhay
Hi, long-time fan, first-time caller. That is a fib. I only found this site today from cyberstalking sparkymonroe. I also recognize retrojoe too, from another forum. For my birthday, I had a license plate frame made that read, "derhay - Music Addict Since 1982". 1982, because I admit Thiller was the first tape that I played into the ground. Reading about music, hoarding it and compiling it has been my only hobby for some time. Glad to find a new arena. I really do not wish to wear out my welcome. Let me know when I am. See you in the halls, I guess.
