Don't understand why this directive causes a 404 in mp3 only

You can download the same song by going to  
http://mysite.com/music/billyjoel/download/song.mp3 
<http://mysite.com/music/billyjoel/download/song.mp3> .

The path including "download" is aliased and the default mime type 
changed as shown here:

location /music/billyjoel/play/ {
    types{
        audio/mp3 mp3;
    }
}

location /music/billyjoel/download/ {
    types{}
    default_type application/octet-stream;
    alias /(location of root goes here)/music/billyjoel/play/;
}

This works as intended. However, I set expires and access_log directives 
for css/jpg/woff, etc. like this and the mp3 will no longer download and 
I get a 404 with a "file not found" error in the error logs:

location ~* ^.+\.(mp3|jpg|css)$ {
    expires modified +30d;
    access_log off;
}


Location with regex will get matched first, 

Ack! Yes. Exactly. I keep forgetting that. Thank you.

Looks like the download request for mp3 files get served by: ` location 
~* ^.+\.(mp3|jpg|css)$`
and since you didn't set any alias or location over there, it will 
returns 404.
