You There, Geography Nerds, You Win

The first complete cycle of this whole kit-n-caboodle I call the Monthly Mix contest is wrapping up, so congrats on getting through it. I know it's a little tricky, what with there being polls and obtuse titles of mixes with surprise songs coming at you in the mail. But it will all make sense soon! I'm putting the finishing touches on the first mix, "What Happens When You Add a Violin," and will post the track listing once the winner is announced.

The mix for this month, then, which one by a single vote in the poll, is "Beyond Sufjan: the U.S. Geography Mix". The runner-up, "I Pretend to Read a Lot," stays in this month's poll, and two fresh titles are there for you to ponder and vote on.

And for those of you who wrote Amazon reviews last month, thank you thank you thank you. I've recently found out there's been a pretty significant delay in The Crater EP getting released on iTunes, so Amazon is the most popular vendor I'll be distributed through for a while longer. I'll announce which one of you review-writers won the very first mix in the next few days.
