Dear the wonderful folk of the MTC,

New badges have finally been given out. I hope you like them ;)

First order of business is for me to tell you to check the contest page.

#2 - Post the 5 albums you listened to most in 2008 and get a badge. Simple. They don't have to be albums that came out in 2008.

#3 - Post a contest idea you have. Consider this the beginning of Contest Contest #4.

#4 - I have recently moved my sweet ass back to the land of Portland, Oregon. I will soon be moving into a house in South East Portland (probably). I was thinking that once I get settled there, I would like to have an MTC get-together. Everyone is invited. I thought I would mention it now so as to have enough time to plan and whatnot. Does this sound like something anyone wants to do? Or is it lame? Let me know. I was thinking we could have a little contest leading up to the thing for a party mixtape or something for us to listen to. I dont know. If you have any ideas or things you would like to see happen at something like this let me know. Im down for whatever.

#5 - That is all for now. I love y'allz.

contest ideas

1. Shit you love that you think no one else will have heard of.
2. Exception proves the rule. Pick a genre you profess to hate and then populate a mixtape with songs from that genre you kinda like.
3. If you were a mixtape, what kind of mixtape would you be?

5 albums I listened to most in 2008

Hawk is Howling - Mogwai/Portishead 3/I started off with nothin' and I've still got most of it left - Seasick Steve/Dig Lazarus, Dig!!! - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds/Ummagumma - Pink Floyd (1969)

If there is no age limit I would be up for a mission to Portland. Oh yes!
