I got mine today. Thank you, Jtd7. But, as punishment for slacking, I am not allowed to open it until everything has been sent. Wow, that was fast -- across the country in two days. Hope you enjoy it, victoria. I hope you really meant "motivation" when you wrote "punishment" . . . . . lol. Yeah, that's what I meant. I was about to tear it open like a monkey on a banana.

Okay, I sent it out this morning. I'm not revealing who is getting it although it's making its way to Arlington, MA. And, as reward, I got to open Jtd's CD. First of all, the card that came with it: And, the songlist: Seriously, Sir. thank you again.

. . . . I was about to tear it open like a monkey on a banana. Wow. The last time a woman said that to me . . . . . Well, honestly, no woman has ever said that to me before. Glad you like the mix, Victoria!

I swore to myself that I'm not leaving my flat tomorrow morning until it's packaged and ready to go.
Here's to hoping I remember.
(I will)

Mine went out today. I'd say I'm an underachiever, but I don't have low self esteem. (Well, we'll see anyway. I could be unaware of my complete lameness.)
I didn't send a tracklist. I wait a week or so to send those. Too many pals that cherry pick instead of listening to the mix made me a cynic.

Oh, I know. Jtd seriously raised the bar. I almost wanted to go back to the post office and see if I could get the mixCD back to make another one. I definitely know the one I sent out to will severely disappoint the person who gets it. But, I promise NEXT year's will be MUCH, MUCH better.

Mine was handed to me this morning with a "Oh this came for you yesterday"
It's brilliant. The Mystery Jets have got a lot better since I wrote them off about 4 years ago. Stars Barricade is a legendary tune and I've now heard The Brunettes and Steven Malkmus & The Jicks after years of meaning to.
Thanks canwemeetagain, who ever you are. And thanks Hoodrat form making Christmas start early.
Oh and The '59 sound gets better every time i hear it.

Many apologies, I got nailed by weather on both ends of the country this week. Work in Spokane and home in Boston. It's going in the post on Monday. Only going halfway across America, but with the weather, who knows.
