    Of all the remixes I posted to that community, the one that I see that I do not actually like better than the original mix is a particular Christmas variation that I posted on Christmas. It is effectively the exact same thing as the original mix, just with the melody of the main synth changed to sound like the “Jingle Bells” melody. Which does not make it bad by any means. On the contrary, I think it achieves what it was reaching for rather well. But more often than not, I am not particularly in the mood to listen to Christmas-themed music, and as such, I would prefer the original.

        Random: I remember seeing um… mention that they regret choosing a name that has punctuation in it because it makes things worse for search engine optimization reasons, but that it was all worth it anyway to overhear the mass confusion around staff members at a music festival talking to each other over their walkie talkies about the artists “um…” and “sumthin sumthin”.

        Imagine something like:

        STAFF 1: Who’s next on the main stage?
        STAFF 2: Uh… um…
        STAFF 1: …um what?
        STAFF 2: And then it’s… sumthin sumthin.
        STAFF 1: Wait, who??? I need to know exactly!

          Haha. Joke’s on us now though, because these days internet searches suck universally regardless of punctuation.
