I got some garbages after RSS 2.0:

  % ruby -r open-uri -e 'puts open("http://ccmixter.org/media/api/query?score=400&sinceu=1157536651&limit=25&tags=remix+editorial_pick&rand=1&format=rss").read' | tail -n 25
      </item>
    </channel>
  </rss>

      <h3>wups, ccMixter is experiencing technical difficulties...</h3>
      <p>If you were in the middle of an upload or posting a message it probably worked OK
      but you should click <a href="/">here</a> to get back to the site's home page or
      use your browser's BACK button to return to the site and make sure.</p>
      <p>The admins have been notified of the problem and will look into it very shortly.</p>
