Sorry about the downtime. Took longer to transfer servers than we thought. That makes us dumb. But that also makes us your bosses.

Things are gonna change around here, people. For one thing, sad mario HAS to go. Space cat has been grounded. And the dumptruck budget has been slashed by 50%.

Starting today OLReMix will only accept ReMiXesSsS of the highest quality. Your submissions shall be judged cruelly by a new panel consisting of the highest and most qualified authorities, handpicked by your overlords. And if found wanting, you will be summarily executed.

All un-televised rebellions will be put down immediately with brute force and no remorse.

Disregard that I

Anyways, I’m Suzumebachi, and I’m your newest admin. Your friends at ThaSauce Network have taken over hosting of OLR and as such naturally left me in charge. What does that mean for you? Nothing, really. Just one more bully in the pulpit. If that’s even a valid metaphor.

We’re still in the process of ironing everything out on the new server. So if you see anything broken, PLEASE let us know.

Oh and before you ask. No, Richter didn’t die. He just decided you all suck and he never wants to see any of you ever again.

Kidding. He got a life.

So after 4 years of tireless effort (and 2 years of sitting around on peoples’ computers), OverLooked ReMiX is proud to present Crocodile Chaos, a Donkey Kong Country 2 ReMix Album!

Because Dave Wise’s music is so awesome, it needs another project 😀

After 5 months of blood, sweat, and tears (mostly tears because nobody
understands what a ‘deadline’ is), OverLooked ReMiX proudly presents
our latest site project, OLRville – Tunes for the Road!
The album is a collection of different town/city themes, done in the traditional OverLooked style of making blood flow from your ears while you listen.  8 tracks of ReMiXy goodness from guys like Brunzolaitis, Zimish One, and nesper!

Click the picture (or follow the link -> http://olrville.olremix.org) and grab the .zip if you want everything, or have a taste-test with the songs first!  And if you are feeling so bold, leave some comments in the official thread.

You can give your props to Zimish One (aka POCKETMAN in some places), as he is the project coordinator and I don’t even know which site project this is for him…probably his 6th or so.

(also, this is an announcement that our queue is fixed, so you can submit songs again!  yay!)

So, ladies and gents, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is an issue that needs to be addressed.

As I found out from Richter a week or so ago, OverLooked ReMiX
has become too large for him to host any longer.  He’s pretty much
paying out of his own pocket too, as we aren’t a large enough site to
garner a consistent traffic flow, and I’m pretty sure the revenue off
of ads is miniscule at best.

Thus, I don’t know how much longer we’ll be around.  The only option
Richter and I could think of is to release songs on YouTube, and then
host a torrent of all of the songs for people who want individual
copies of them.  Richter did also move the songs to another hosting,
but that’s only saved them; we can’t post new remixes, and we have at
least one new site project to release that can’t be hosted on the
server.  This is why we haven’t had a new remix in about a month.

If anyone would like to lend a hand with anything (even if it comes to
torrenting, just having some seeds), it would be greatly appreciated. 
Obviously I’m not looking for someone to just take and host the site,
but even some alternative options than what Richter and myself have
thought of would help us.  Although if you would consider hosting,
contact Richter at richtaur at gmail dot com, and/or myself at
xenonodyssey at hotmail dot com.

Thanks for giving this a read.

In celebration of the holidays, Running the Gauntlet, a Gauntlet arrangement album, has been released.

http://gauntlet.olremix.org
This project shows that OverLooked ReMiX is not only the place to host your beloved zany mix from EAR and BEER competitions, but is also full of capable remixers who can put forth a remix album worthy of listening to again and again.

The project covers all nine songs present in the soundtrack, and features the following artists:

-Andy Lyons
-Brunzolaitis
-dasaten
-nesper
-V_Gasm
-vindkast
-Xenon Odyssey
-Zimish One

Enjoy, and happy holidays from OverLooked!

So richter has some how managed to find time between his real life and
coding VGMix v3.0 to give us a brand-spankin’ new look for OverLooked.
Check out the site for a full list of all the stuff he’s added,
deleted, distorted, and profusely destroyed whilst drunk with power and
a ban-hamma.

“After a year and a month, it’s finally done.

OLR just posted its 500th song. Clearly, if you have not heard all 500, you are missing out on an exciting headache and waste of an entire day.
Well, the id on it is 500, but I’m pretty sure there are less than 500, due to removals and stupidity. Boing!

The OLReMix feed has been removed from circulation in the Multi-headlines module until further notice due to an error that made it flood both the module & the block. Richter is aware & is said to be looking into the problem.

Anyone who’s visted OverLooked Remix late’ll notice that the site is currently down down in an earlier round…
No worries, though. It’s not an elaborate hack job by BS Inc. or anything like that. Richter is simply moving the site to a new (an apparently much better) server. No word on exactly how long the transcition’ll take, but in the meantime you’re encouraged to visit the OLReMix chatroom.
