Amazing work David. I'm not sure if you maintain this last.fm profile, but I really love your remixes and OCR as a website and community. I have a bumper sticker for OCR on my car! I also love wearing the shirt I ordered from you guys.

^_^ OC ReMix is a haven for some of the most talented musicians. I don't know what or who I would be without the joy that video game music gives me, and remixes just increase that joy. Thank you for creating OCR, and thanks to all of the amazing talents that stem from it.
