<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Reminder! September 1st we will start our Song Review Contest. The most Reviews for the Month will Win a Free Mixposure T-Shirt.</span></p><p>Rules:</p><p>300 Song Reviews Minimum </p><p>"Great Song" and "Loved It" are not reviews and will be removed! Please give your reviews some substance. </p><p>Contest ends on the last day of September</p><p>Shirt Sizes are limited to what is in stock</p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Win this shirt!</strong></span></p><p><img src="http://www2.mixposure.com/image.php?mode=item_image&item_id=197&band_id=2839" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<div><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have been thinking about this for some time and have finally come to the conclusion that YouTube is really the only way to go for videos on Mixposure. While I have liked having or own player, it really just does not make sense for us to use up the bandwidth and storage space that is required to host videos. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">We will be removing all non-YouTube Videos from Mixposure in roughly a week. This will give everyone time to make copies if they need to! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Also please feel free to delete the non-youtube videos once you have grabbed a copy.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Thanks!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Dazed</span></p></div>
I know it is a bit early but I wanted to post this so people could start working on their song submissions. For the past 5 years or so Mixposure has always done site themed songs. Like the Same Song Title Madness, Same Lyric Madness, Holiday Tunes but the one that seems to go over the best is the Halloween tunes.
For the Hallloween Song Submission, your goal is to create the best spookiest tune you can. It can be any genre you like. This is also a great way to collaborate with other Mixposure Artists. Please do not upload any tunes over the next month. Once we are in October, we will create a specific genre called Halloween 2011 for everyone to use. This just makes it easier to find all of the submissions.
For the month of September, the Mixposure Member with the most song reviews will win a Mixposure T-Shirt. You must have 300 reviews to quality! Remember, "cool tune", "love it" are not reviews! These will be deleted and not counted. Give your reviews some substance!
Again our apologies about the issues with the latest version of Internet Explorer. We are working hard to get it resolved. If you are using the newest version of IE9, you will see issues adding song info, blogs, private messages etc. Please use Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari or whatever other browsers I am missing in the mean time.
Thanks again for being a part of Mixposure!

But with the new raid, the government seems to be questioning whether some wood sourced from <a class="r_lapi" href="http://www.foxnews.com/topics/india.htm#r_src=ramp">India</a> met every regulatory detail, the newspaper said.</p><p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">A few quick things!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to welcome Wendy and Taylor from IBM's Student's For A Smarter Planet. We have setup a special <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/?t=sfsp">landing page</a> for them and artists who join Mixposure by clicking the Join as SFSP link will be donating 45% of their song profits to the United Nations Millennium Development Goal. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank you for beinga part of Mixposure and we look forward to the musicians joining this site for this worthy cause. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Again my apologies for the issues with newest version of Internet Explorer. We are looking at ways to correct the issue instead of waiting for Microsoft to fix the issue. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">On a side note, I hope everyone took advantage of the HP firesale on the Touchpad Tablets for $99 for the 16GB or $149 for thr 32GB. I plan to surf Mixposure on one if my order went through! A lot of order cancellations due to the high demand so there is no telling who will end up with one. But I am crossing my fingers!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks again for being a part of Mixposure!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed Mike K's Center Stage Presentation with Saturated. The room was jumping and so was the music. Thanks Mike for doing a brilliant job as host a big thanks to Saturated for <span style="color: #ff0000;">FINALLY</span> doing a CSP. I hope you had as much fun as we did. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Mike has posted the podcast <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/?t=mix_podcast">here</a>. Feel free to add it to your phone! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks again!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I just wanted to mention that a few people have let me know about a bug with the private message system. It seems with the newest version of Internet Explorer 9, when you reply to messages it is sending blank text. Since all other browsers work correctly, I am kind of blaming this on the newest version of Internet Explorer. I have some developers looking at the code to make sure it is not something else.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our apologies for the inconvenience!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p><p> </p>
