I think the standings are frozen again. Nothing has changed in the two categories I've been watching (Club/Dance and New Age/World) since I went to bed last night. :3

This is great. Congrats for making it to semis, fellas!

OurStage glitch for the win! Luckily, the votes cast before *were* counted, they just hadn't updated the rankings. By the way, did you guys see this video in Quinn's EJ Blog? ^-^ http://blog.ourstage.com/2008/08/25/youngheart-newport-folk/

Yeah, nothing has moved at all for us either. Then again, I haven't cast my votes yet. Will do soon!

Woo wooo...

Ah yes, the inevitable one-week bump! Thanks for that, Dyne. Some of you have already sent in your entries, but I suspect that there will be a new flood now that it's crrrrrrunch time. ^_~ You know where to find me!

Yeah, I saw that! (Thanks to Google alerts...)

I am! http://www.jilliangoldin.com XD

Yeah, I was trying to adapt my voice to the track to sound more computer-y. Somehow, I don't think vibrato would have fit the mood. I'm glad you felt that it worked! We just covered the song, but it could be fun to put together an actual remix sometime. Sindra: The "Making of a Remix" tutorial was a game designed to get the audience involved, not so much to actually teach them how to remix. Something like that would have required at least the entire hour and a half, and most people probably would not have found it appealing or beneficial. If you're looking for real help in that area, I would check out some of zircon's audio and video tutorials.

That was so fun - I miss you guys already! Great to meet DragonAvenger and Kizyr for the first time, and I always love seeing old friends. May new friends become old friends, too! Here is my photo album on Facebook! Any help tagging would be much appreciated. And just for a few random highlight photos directly in here: The panel audience! phew... Some folks gathered afterwards Sunday BBQ! ROFLness... EDIT: Btw, people who went to the BBQ... Don't forget to email José those special photos we took... XD (media@bronxrican.com)

Will anybody be bringing a video camera to the panel? Usually Kroze or Jiggles McPuff tapes it, but I haven't heard from them. (Andy and I will be arriving sometime tomorrow afternoon. See you guys soon!)

djpretzel can "direct post" a mix at any time - an option reserved only for submissions which clearly demonstrate they meet the site standards for arrangement and production. The judges panel is swamped enough as is, so it would be a pain to have to spend time voting on songs that will be unanimously passed. (zircon often gets direct posted because he's one of those remixers that has a very strong grasp on the site standards. But plenty of others are DP'ed as well!) In this particular instance, Dave posted our mix quickly for two reasons: 1) The remix project for bLiNd was completed, and considering Jordan's rapid progress it makes more sense to announce the community effort sooner rather than later. 2) Our OCR panel at Otakon is coming up Saturday, and the song is going to be previewed among several others in a demo medley of games/genres we have on the site. ---- Andy and I are both really glad to have been a part of this coming together for bLiNd. He has given this community SO much, and deserves every bit of that back. I know it sounds cheesy, but just when I thought I knew everything there was to know about the people around here... they come out and surprise you with something as awesome as this project. I think we all need that reminder sometimes. :>

Hahaha... Can't believe this is still the hot topic in here. But it was pretty funny, wasn't it... I should post as Andy more often. ^_~ Yay for entries!

Heck yeah, that was fun... I always enjoy chatting in IRC with you guys on finals day, hehe. Good luck this month, everyone!

You guys are good! I'm on 200 now, but I WILL finish. XD

Alright, it's votin' time. Have fun today, guys! You know where I'll be. :3

Hey, nothing wrong with coming in late! Especially in the semi-finals, it hardly takes any time at all to vote. There are only 45 rounds in any given genre, because it's only the top 10 tracks. I'm gonna do all mine soon...

Hehehe... He said butt.

Maybe you can at least meet up for lunch or dinner one day. Speaking of which... Xerol: is there going to be a BBQ Sunday afternoon? ^-^

I feel for you, Scott. You definitely deserved to be in the top 10, easily...

Happy birthday, Jimmeh!!!

Sankyuuu~!

Hmm, no linky. He's got stuff for removed ocremixes and his website, but I couldn't find the tans on either.

Does anyone have archived all the previous finished versions of the various OCR-tan incarnations? I'd like to put together an image displaying a bunch of different ones, for Otakon.

He uses scripts. And he was caught and removed those other times. Let's just hope they catch on again, if he is cheating now.
