Dude, clearly you've been doing this for a good long while, and it shows. Very professional sounding song (campy or not) and mix.
Great job!

Thanks Dan..... I lucked out with this one.... Have you ever redone a mix and after the 15th one from scratch over a period of months you stumble upon one that sounds better than anything else you've done to date?
This happened to me with this song. I have gone back over it several times to try and figure out how I got to the end result and I actually can't really pin point it other than it's combination of many factors to reach the end result. ....This mix has a better balance and a subtle heaviness than all the rest I've done. It's still a little harsh on the high mids but at this point I'm gonna leave it alone and try and get better a mixing on something else. I'll take a stab at refining the high mid harshness in the future.

One thing I have learned, very painfully I might add, is that there is no one thing that will make a mix good. It's all about subtle tweaks that slowly build up into a whole. Between that and learning to leave plenty of headroom in your mixes, it is definitely an art form. I don't completely redo mixes as much as I used to because I now can hear where to make little changes (and corrections) before I let a mix go completely off the rails, but it has taken years to learn how to hear it.
