<span style="font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;">Hey Everyone! I was hoping if you had a moment you could help out Mixposure Artist Maria Daines and Paul Killington? <br /><br />For the months of December and January, for every comment related to any of the issues in the video they get on their new video "Peace Wins The Election" on <a href=&quotPeace wins the Election;. Keep The Green Alive will donate $1.00 Canadian with a $1,000 maximum for Paul and Maria's upcoming CD called Shelter Me. The sales of this cd will help not-for-profit animal shelters.<br /><br />As you can tell, this is a worthwhile cause worthy of a few minutes of our time. So please stop by and make a comment on the video to help save some animals because, quite frankly, they deserve it. <br /><br />Thanks for your support,<br />Dazed</span>

• We’ve have been played on the BBC by Andy Kershaw and Mike Harding and have been on TV in Austin, Texas and featured on radio stations across America and also in Australia
• We have played the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans twice, plus other venues in Louisiana and Austin, Texas

I wanted to thank everyone who is doing song reviews. We had a contest last month to see who could do the most and I want to congratulate Vesa for doing 674 reviews for the month of July! For winning the contest we have upgraded his account to a Mixposure Silver Account! Congrats Vesa and thanks for listening and commenting on everyone's music!<br /><br />The Same Song Title Madness is due today and I hope some people have submitted some songs. I think this is the first one I have missed. Maybe I will see if I can come up with something today. To those of you that submitted songs, thanks for participating!<br /><br />Please do not miss Mike K's Saturday Night Rocks Radio show tonight at 8:00 EST. Tonight in the Center Stage Presentation Mike will present John Crafton. This is one amazing artist and some of you may know him from the band Fable. This is a show you do not want to miss. <br /><br />I hope everyone is pleased with the changes we have made to the site. I think there were some outstanding changes personally but maybe that is just me! We are continuing to make changes here and there. I also just made a slight change on the Review Link. I added a little popup window for the song information. There are times when I am doing a review and am wondering if there is any song information so I thought others may have been wondering the same.<br /><br />I hope to see everyone in Chat tonight for the Radio Show!<br /><br />Dazed<br /><br />

I have added in 2 of the Genre Spotlights and the link can be found up top under Genre Spotlights. This is still under construction but we are getting closer. TJ Gardner and Rob Grant have stepped up for two Genres and we will be adding more along the way. I am not sure who did these on the original Mix but if it was you, send me a message!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dazed

<span style="font-size: medium;">George Shepherd posted this and I thought it was just awesome so if you have moment, have a listen. He also posted the backing track if you wish to do your own playing on it. If you do, please post it up for the rest of us!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mixposure.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&amp;t=12990&amp;p=108434#p108434">To The Music</a><br /> <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/George_Shepherd/">To Geoge's Mixposure Page</a><br /></span><img src="http://www.mixposure.com/image.php?mode=band_image&amp;band_id=17&amp;width=290" alt="" width="290" height="277" />
