  1. mag has this way of getting better and better with each year. that trend continues with this mag being by far the most enjoyable one for me yet.

    among my personal highlights are:

    - protricity and monobrow graciously extending their room to me for the night, with no indication from me that i was planning on commuting to mag

    - reconnecting with everyone from years past

    - lukethexjesse's personality not only matching, but exceeding his irc personality

    - the xenotones jam session

    - everyone loving korean food

    - the earthbound papas concert

    - josh whelchel being awesome enough to let people smoke hooka off his balcony

    - the jamspace nazi with drumultima and audio fidelity

    - conversations had at a 5 am food run to ranch house

    - west coast cats raging at east coast highways

    - finding a solitary garian roaming magfest at 7 am on sunday morning, then going to catch the earthbound papas q&a

    - the q&a itself

    - the odyssey of finding busboys and poets, met with success this year

    - the cognitive meltdown brought on by chugging five hour energies with aeroz to battle con fatigue and the onset of sleepiness from staying awake for 28 hours

    - starla and ramaniscence saving the day by jumping my dead battery

    - chilling and catching up with bustatunez on the way to dulles

    and everything else that isn't coming to mind right now. let's definitely not wait another year to see each other again.

  2. yea, i'm glad you brought that up! that was my attempt to discourage paying for the album, as a few did, before i realized that i could just disable the download link. due to an overwhelming response from my supporters, we exceeded bandcamp's monthly bandwidth cap and they are now entitled to sell the album for a 5$ minimum throughout the month of november. to circumvent this, i've uploaded the album to my mediafire account. so at the time of several purchases, the album was (and is) still available for free.

    permissions to use certain acappellas and samples were given to me by the artists themselves, with the understanding that my album is non-profit. the difference between a donation via paypal and naming one's price is only, and wholly, one of principle. if i were receiving income in the form of album sales i would be violating their trust. five bucks is five bucks, but in one scenario a supporter is driven by generosity while in the other scenario the same supporter would be under the impression that his or her putting forward of money is of acquisitional motivation. the difference might seem petty but are worlds apart to me.

    thank you all so much for your support and love. i have been a walking smile for the past two days.

  3. hey guys, not to resurrect a dead thread but i just got news that the mix passed the panel, and i owe everyone here a huge thanks for being an integral part of the process! there were a couple of weak areas that the judges graciously brought to my attention so i took it as an opportunity to re-produce the whole mix. check out the updated op for a link to the remastered mix as well as a preview of my debut album that is dropping on october 31st!

    much love guys,
