The Bored Cd Exchange

[borntohula]

spring 90 (do you still exist?)

Yeah, I try to come around when I can

[borntohula]

woot. that was slow, but im going to compile pairs then. should be up tonight.

[Hyphnip]

so basically i'm just supposed to burn a mix of whatever i think people will enjoy, stuff that isn't really mainstream or what?

[borntohula]

whatever you want. notsomainstream is preferable because you want to be exposing people to new things. but in the end, its whatever you think they might like.

 

alright, so i've PMed everyone involved, informing all of you who you've been (randomly) assigned for this CD exchange. in addition to the names, i've also provided their shipping addresses.

 

i think it's preferable to keep who you have a secret, and let it be a nice surprise for that person in their mailbox, but you can do whatever you'd like.

 

i'm hoping we can have these CDs done and sent out in a month. if that's too unrealistic, let me know. does february 15th sound okay? i've made a deadline so that ideally, everyone will receive their CDs roughly around the same time, although shiri and her partner will probably be exceptions.

 

when you've sent your CD, PM me or post that you've done so in this thread. it makes keeping track of all this bunkam much easier.

 

when you receive a CD, post a review of it here. talk about what you liked, what you didnt... etc. post pictures if you think the case is designed particularly well or something and that sort of thing. also, you can take that opportunity to thank the person who sent you your new CD!!!

 

i think that covers everything. if you've any questions, you know who to ask.

[sodamntired]

question: do you want it sent ON Feb. 15 or BY Feb. 15?

[Ravenous megin-sane]

by the 15th

[soundless_space]

We still sticking to that 20 track number I saw being discussed earlier?

[borntohula]

ty meg.

 

and yeah, around 20 tracks is a good goal. obviously if you put all 8 minute long epics, 20 is unreasonable, but do your best to put that many on there.

[spring90]

Hurrah! I'm going to start writing up my tracklist now.. I dunno how much I'll be doing in the way of art for it...

[Ravenous megin-sane]

i'm excited to find out who has me!

[soundless_space]

Fuuuuck I can't get 20 songs on it to save my life. How about 18?

 

edit: and they're not even that long!

yeah, there won't be any artwork. just the burnt cd and a track list...and probably a letter explaining who the bands are and why I put the tracks on there.

[Audio of Being]

Now I am glad I am not part of this exchange, I would send someone, some jam band stuff I really like, but most the songs are 15-30 min long, and I would not be able to do that 20 track limit.

[borntohula]

let's be clear on this: there's no minimum or maximum track limit. 20 is just a good number to aim for and usually fills a CD. put on however much you'd like, just don't be lazy or stupid.

[soundless_space]

Alright, cool.

[sodamntired]

mailed out my mix today. the nice woman at the post office asked me what I was shipping. I told her I post a lot on this message board, and we have this new thing where we are sending mix albums to each other. she thought that was cool.

You want to PM or post a list of songs/bands for me anyhow?

I've been hearing a lot about these 'jam bands' from my New York State friends.
