[at] hotmail [dot] com and we will let you know.  For those of you who have recently found out about the project and would like to continue to submit, we will accept further submissions until January 20th.  One caveat though, please don’t use this as an excuse to clear out your dusty tape collection.  We’d like to keep this personal if possible, and while it’s great you may have found a new home for that disheveled heap of tangled cassettes, it would be nice if these were intended for their recipients. First and foremost we’d like to personally thank each and every one of you who took the time to enter a submission.  We don’t have time to email all of you, but we have documented every single submission, and you can find images on this post or the one right before it to find yours to make sure it came in.  We had absolutely no idea how much support this would create, and were completely blown away by the massive amounts of email and messages we received.  People from Sweden, Norway, Finland, China, Japan, Mexico, Australia, UK, Germany — and several US States all sent submissions!  Also, for those of you kind enough to donate towards postage, it is extremely appreciated — you have no idea how much!  This is one of the first times I’ve ever witnessed the punk community come together on a global scale like this, and it was amazing seeing the amount of effort and love put into many of these mixes.  This is DIY culture at it’s apex, and it would be great to see more endeavors like this, even if not as a response/reaction to an adverse event such as what happened to the punks in Aceh.

Can one mixtape change the world?  Certainly not, but we personally can say that mixtapes have more than changed our lives, and we hope that this small token can show the punks in Aceh and the punks around the world that there is a global underground network ready and able to support one another.  Cheers to you all, and here’s to a new year of the punk underground!
