	On Ironmix 2005 In 2006
	If I never become a millionaire, it won't be for lack of creative ideas nor quality execution. No, I have a surplus of those and they're filling up the warehouse that would normally be reserved for follow-through. The times when I'm too busy, too tired, too poor come and go but I am always and forever a procrastinating fuck-off. When I started the Ironmix project back in 2004, I intended to pump them out annually. Two discs of the best tunes I'd been listening to that year dressed with independent art that caught my eye. It was so simple. I was off to a good start in '05, wrapping the compilation in April and even posting a name-that-tune contest in May. Then, well... June: ordered CDs, finished package design July: ate ice cream, goofed off August: had a birthday, screwed around September: nothing much, poked the pooch October: did Halloween, didn't finish printing November: lost roommates, got money conscious December: did Christmas, pinched pennies Once 2005 was over, I still hadn't finished printing all the labels and I wasn't in any financial position to mail them out anyway. Truth be told, I'm still not and that just plain sucks because it's over four months past due. So, I extend my apologies to the twenty-five people who were supposed to get physical copies of Ironmix 2005. It's just not happening. Instead, everyone can download a copy right from this very LiveJournal entry. Personally, I recommend you burn it to CD (using the "disc at once" feature so there aren't any gaps), print yourself a copy of these covers (with awesome photography by Katia Roberts), and listen to it in your car this summer. It's a sunny day compilation if ever I've made one. Naturally, I'd appreciate your feedback on these... disc one -+- disc two (Only if those links don't work, use these: 1 + 2) In closing, I can now clear my conscience and focus on getting a new job, a new apartment (or housemate), and *making Ironmix 2006!* Located: sheepland Feeling: working

I AM SO GLAD you put these up! I am rocking out in a big way at work right now. If I remember right, you put them on my laptop when I came home in the summer, but it's great to have them here at work. Yay!

I like how you use the bouncing cabbage picture for rocking out to Ironmix.

I did put them on your laptop but now you can tell everybody at work, "Do you have your copy of Ironmix?"

	Glee!

I have been thinking about inquiring recently about the IM05, wondering if you didn't have my latest address or if it secretly came while I was in South America. I enjoying IM04 so much I was REALLY looking forward to last year's and was sad it didn't arrive before I left for the penguins. I don't care if 05 is not packaged and all that - I just rip them to my computer anyways. I am just excited I didn't miss it! Looking forward to listening to this new batch.

	Re: Glee!

I'm still a little bummed that I didn't get around to producing physical copies for everyone. Perhaps, as the money situation changes, I'll just include copies of Ironmix 2005 with the 2006 edition that I intend to have wrapped up this summer.

Shhhhh! (I made a few copies and handed them to some lucky individuals. Don't spread it around or the people who live remotely will get jealous.)

Uhm...I love you?

(Since yours wouldn't have to be mailed, I could hand it over to you if we ever saw each other in person.)

Now, why the hell aren't my coralized links working? Let me try this again:

coralized disc one -+- coralized disc two

Do I have to go back to the 8090?

coralized disc one -+- coralized disc two

	Hooray for people who release online mixes and properly tag the files!

I like this trend of people releasing their mixcds online. I need to get me some webspace and do that!

	I can't fucking stand improperly tagged files.

Brother, it is the wave of the future. (Nonetheless, I miss my physical mixdiscs.)

Saying hey because I found your LJ through a quad-ruled community notebook sitting in Trabant, and that's just really awesome.

There should be more community journals in this world, especially those for which people feel enough respect to avoid tagging them. I was sad to see the Trabant journal get run through by some uncaring schmoe.

Hey, download my mixdisc while you're here!
