FMA year-end mixes: open call

by jason - Mon Nov 22, 2010 5:52pm

Can you believe it's almost 2011?? Wow...2010 has been sounding pretty awesome, and before time flies by any further let's take a moment to listen back to some of the year's best music.

We're compiling a series of Best of 2010 mixes on the FMA homepage throughout December, made by curators as well as special guests and individual members -- we'd love to hear from you!

The standard format (from which you should feel free to deviate) is a 10 track mix of your favorite mp3s from the FMA library. If you have Creative Commons favorites from this year that aren't already part of the library, let us know so we can add 'em! You could also list up some of your favorite albums, (net)labels, live shows...freeform reflections on the year are encouraged!

here's how to make a mix, and to share it please embed it in this thread and/or tag it as "Bestof2010" + "year-end_lists"

there should be X's to remove a track, like this image below...

but I imagine that you would've seen these X's, right? So if you're not seeing them, let's try to figure out what the bug could be.

* What browser and platform are you using? (i.e. Firefox 3.6.12, Mac OSX 10.4.11)

* It could be that your browser is zoomed in or the font size is larger than normal, pushing the X's off the visible screen. Try hitting "cmd minus" on your browser to see if it works?
* Do you see the X's on a different browser?

thanks for your help troubleshooting and I'm sorry you've had this unfortunate encounter with a bug!

ok, I take a look under the hood and everything looks fine for me. the css sprite is available and the block is positioned right (see screenshot) it's just not visible and there is no click action on the empty block.

I use firefox 3.6 on Win7 and checked on Chrome/Iron Browser with the same result. Strange if it works for you...

Hope this helps

cheers

thanks! i was able to recreate the bug, and while we dig in to fix it, and in the meantime, if you zoom in a bunch the X buttons should reappear.

Here I thought I had a hold on music added to the FMA in 2010, but most of the year-end mixes are bringing a few artists I missed or who I didn't appreciate on the first listen. LOVE IT! The mixes are really promoting the FMA artists.

Respect to each of you for your different approaches, too -- the live sets mix, the "cosmic recollection" mix, the "off the top of my head" mix, the weird and the weird weird mix, all of them! So far, I'm loving all of them. Thank you for these great mixes.

I'm on board with blocSonic who wrote, "I was asked to put together a top 10 mix and I tried... I really did, but it was impossible given the amount of incredible music that's hosted here."

In fact, here's what happened at Oddio Overplay headquarters over the last two weeks:

Home with the Device

by procedura - Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:23pm

Well, it's been an eventful year: Tsunami in Nippon, (the) killing of an Arab (loudly celebrated in the US), fires, floods, earthquakes, snowpocalypses and endless wars, poverty & hunger...

Also, in some of the major cities in the US we have revolution of consumers called Occupy on our hands. Pepper sprays vs. tents. Kettling vs. revolution rock. Comic artist vs. some other comic artist. Confused leftist politicians vs. drunk millionaires, memes vs. more memes... and so on 'till death do us part.

Here in Europe, we have gigantic economic crisis coming. Everybody's scared. Nobody knows what tomorrow brings. Evil count Sarcozy & technocrat Angie Merkel override democratic procedures in order to save EURO & eurozone... Expect more looting than occupying, more city & highway crime than traffic jams on the roads to Azzure Coast & more canned food than master chef recipes.

So, my advice is to stay home with the device. Browse & explore vast ocean of FMA free music & listen to the radio 'till they disconnect electricity & interweb.

After that, only campfire, stories from the good old (neon) times and loaded shotgun somewhere in the mountains will keep us strong.

All the best in 2012!

hey @diffuser, awesome recommendations! Really enjoying the Maya Solovéy at the moment (http://mayasolovey.bandcamp.com/).

Of course there is a ton of great CC Music from 2011 that hasn't made its way onto the FMA so it helps to hear what everyone's been digging wherever it may be

Bonjour everyone.

Just wanted to share my result of the Open-Call best 2011 mix.

ALLEZ ICI

There is 20 songs, as i found that 10 was to hard.

Difficult to select songs from the thousands of great stuff, but this exercise, totally makes me want to do some more.

Love and very much respect indeed.
