I'm probably letting myself in for an organisational nightmare, but let's have a CD Swap!
Everyone makes three CDs of ace music, and then we send them to each other.
THE RULES
You must create three CDS of music you like. It can be stuff you think is awesome or cheesy, that you want other people to get into, that you think the recipient might like, or whatever comes out of clicking shuffle in your music player.
The CD has to be playable in a standard CD player. It cannot be an mp3 CD. You are being constrained to around 80 mins.
Try to fill the CD. Remember, you will be receiving three CDs in return, and you want as much ace stuff to listen to as possible.
You are strongly encouraged to have fun designing the CD cover, but a hastily burnt CD with marker pen scrawled on the front is just as acceptable, as long as the music has been chosen with care.
To avoid monotony, only 3 songs by the same artist are allowed per CD. That's if you repeat any at all. Although not disallowed, it is also disappointing to get a CD that covers only one genre, so be creative and vary your stuff.
You don't have to include a tracklist, but it's ace if you do, as it lets that person perhaps go and discover more songs by that same artist. Really cool people will include track notes on why they've picked it. Again think what kind of CD you'd like to receive.
INFO
If you want in, please say so, but to confirm for definite, send me a PM with the address you will want any CDs sending to.
After all entries are in (I'll allow a week ish), I'll send you back a PM with three addresses for you to send your CDs to.
You do not have to send the same CD to each person. If you want to see who you get and tailor the music to them, that's cool. If you want to send the same CD to each recipient that's exactly as cool (and less effort)
I have picked three CDs for two reasons: 1) Posting 3 CDs second class in a jewel case should come to a fiver or less. 2) Someone will probably not be able to send their CDS, so their unfortunate recipients will still get a CD in the post, rather than missing out entirely.
I'm not discounting those who live abroad. I checked prices to Canada and Australia as examples, and small packets can be sent for less than £2. However, please say if you are unwilling to send overseas because not everyone has money to burn (just CDs).
THE COOL BIT
All CDs are to be sent as anonymously as possible. So you don't know who you've got your stuff from unless you start investigating postmarks and stuff. Then, you come back, we discuss the tracks, work out who sent stuff, post the covers we made, and all have big fun.
