Definitely keep it up! I am certainly finding bands that I've never heard before. I'm always looking for new music and this has been a great weekly intro into some awesome stuff. Thank you.

I am ashamed to admit, i haven't listened to any of these mixtapes yet BUT I have studiously downloaded them all so far, and have tucked them away to digest at a later date. I'm sure they will be great.

What with all the free music Mr Randall is giving away at the mo, and all the other great recommendations on this site and Grind to Death, I am SOOOOOO spoilt for choice music-wise at the moment!!!!

Gotta second that "Definitely keep it up!" Grind owes you (many more blastbeats).
