Anyone heard anything about this?

I feel like this could be funny, but I also feel like it might suck.

LONG RANGE Soccer Goals

Back to Business!

Anyone else remember this game?! I was there and it was awesome. This game included 2 of my favorite UNC dunks I got to see in person.

1. The Jackie Manuel over Julius Hodge dunk.

2. The Marvin Williams “Posin’ On Em” Dunk…..man that was great.

My Top 5 Personal Favorite Posts of the Year

Please revisit my 5 personal favorite posts of the past year. Give the vids a watch, the stories a read. Maybe you didn’t comment on the actual day they were posted and you want to now, or maybe you didn’t even see the original post. Either way, take a trip down memory lane with a player.

Honorable Mention: Mixtape Monster’s Top 15 Sportscenter Commercials , Mixtape Monster’s Top 10 MJ Commercials

5. Gameday! F Dook, Go Heels! (Feb 6 2008 ) – This was the day of the game the Heels lost to dook in the Dean Dome last season. Even though we lost that game, I consider this one of my favorite posts just based on the sheer number of anti-dook videos you will find on it. I know basketball season is a while away, but this will get you excited for the next UNC-Duke matchup.

4. The Mixtape Monster Reviews the new MURS CD (Dec 21 2007) – This makes the cut because it is the first real review I wrote for the site, and because I had the permission of the artist to do it. MURS has always been a supporter of The Mixtape Monster, and few know that it was his love for the “I GOTCHA!!” interludes on my hip hop mixtapes I sent out to Cali that inspired the name of this very blog. Shout out to MURS and Kate P in Cali for sure.

3. Thoughts from the LB Concert at Cat’s Cradle (Dec 10 2007) – My personal highlights and a couple vids I took on the digital camera from the LB concert at the Cat’s Cradle this past December. Sound quality of the vids isn’t that great, but you can see the energy on stage and in the building for sure. Plus, a couple of funny memories to boot.

2. Exclusive Interview with Tanya Morgan (June 17 2008 ) – Perhaps the crowning achievement thus far of my blogging career, the exclusive interview with Tanya Morgan for their release of “The Bridge EP.” Reader Big Soda helped submit some questions and donwill of Tanya Morgan rocked them out. Best part of the whole thing was prior to the interview, when I discovered that TM had already been too and recognized the Mixtape Monster’s blog. Real talk. I know this was a recent post, but I was really proud of myself on this one.

1. Ol’ Dirt Dog But I’m Not Dogged Out (June 25 2007) – One of the first main posts to the blog. I don’t do too many long stories or personal stuff on this blog, but this is one of the few times I really told a story about something that really happened to me. A funny recap of a night when Butta Butros and I hit the town for some shenanigans. I love this post for a ton of reasons. It tells a lot about me as a music fan, is hilarious, and includes a PERFECT picture for the story. Check it out and revisit the fun.

An Open Letter To My Readers

Dear Readers of The Mixtape Monster’s “I GOTCHA” Blog-

It is with great excitement that I announce the official ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of this blog. That’s right people, a year ago, the Monster changed his famous “Monday Mailout” emails into the blog you see today.

When I first set up this blog, I envisioned it would be a place where the videos I was getting daily in my inbox from friends could all live together on one site, and would cut down on mass mailings. I also hoped it would spur more conversation and jokes. I believe at this point that I have accomplished that and a whole lot more.

I never expected the blog to come to the point where I had hundreds of other unique hits a day from people I didn’t know. I never expected to get a Tanya Morgan exclusive interview out of the deal, or have a heated discussion over comment posts with someone I’ve never heard of, or provide an outlet for my friends to hear about all the good free downloadable albums and stuff that I often promote here. I’m not taking over the world by any means, but I am working on at least taking over my city, haha.

Throughout the rest of this week, I will be highlighting some of the year’s topics and past posts. Kind of a weeklong celebration. I will be going out of town on Thursday night so Friday-Saturday you won’t see any posts.

This is currently today’s only post. Now, I know what you are thinking. Your thinking “What? 1 shitty post of a cheesy open letter to the readers? Come on Mixtape Monster, what’s the deal?”

You know I wouldn’t do you dirty like that!

FIRST FIVE PEOPLE TO COMMENT ON THIS POST WILL RECEIVE A HOT MIXTAPE MADE BY THE MIXTAPE MONSTER HIMSELF. IT INCLUDES MOSTLY SOME HOT NEW RECENT SONGS BY ARTISTS YOU KNOW AND LOVE, AS WELL AS SOME OLD FAVORITES. THERE WILL ONLY BE 5 COPIES MADE OF IT, SO COMMENT NOW IF YOU WANT ONE!

Thanks for making this blog possible, and keep up the good subissions, post viewings, and forwarding on posts to your friends. I appreciate it,

The Mixtape Monster
