OG Mash-up / Remix contest
Okay to Sean's (da wiki master's) suggestion, we're going to start a new creative contest. So the deal is... take audio from the show... and create your own music, or whatever (that you own the copyright too), and make a OG mash-up using audio from the show. Just like the wiki master did a while back, when he did that Jefferson Techno remix, and when Killer Penguin sent in a Jefferson Mash-Up as well..

I think we'll run this contest to the end of the year, and play back the entries during the New Years show... or something. So get us your OG mash-up / remixes in! Do it! Do it NOW!

As usual, email your entries to: [e-mail], and use the subject line of: OG MASH-UP CONTEST; stereo MP3s are preffered. Right now there's no limit on how many entries you can send; but please don't clog our email.

Listen to the show for more details.
