This might seem like an odd question but are post offices really hard to use the States? I've had someone give up and not send me something (not from SA) before because the Post Office couldn't work out what State Scotland was in.

They usually aren't too bad unless your post office is staffed with older employees whose souls were sucked out sometime in the late 70's and replaced with a mixture of self-loathing, broken dreams, and hatred for anything with a pulse.

Not that I have to deal with that rear end in a top hat on a weekly basis or anything...

OK. This is always hit-or-miss. I've found some great stuff and some terrible stuff through these exchanges. I'll just say my tastes usually go towards electronic music, but I am always open to new things.

I'm very reluctant to do this again as I'm consistently let down. I put a lot of effort into mine and usually get gently caress all back.

Last time there were a few new people (like me) who came in after the exchange was over and worked out exchanges with people who'd been stiffed or other latecomers, so it's worth it to check back in the thread if that happens again.

That is almost all too true for most of the veteran postal workers I deal with daily.
Hopefully one day they will learn to love again so I won't have to fix 20+ customs declaration forms because they lost the cartons I sent, found them a few days later, then send them back to me to fix because the post date on them was from the week before on the day I originally sent them.

Anyway, my mixes are all completed and ready to go. I'm rather proud of one of my mixes, everything just sounds right on it.

Anyways, this is the final push! If you haven't signed up by midnight tonight, you won't be on the list. You can probably arrange some exchanges but that is no longer my problem. If you want to make any changes to your entry (ie the amount of partners you want which I think is the only thing you really would change), do it soon.

Is it acceptable to make playlists for multiple partners, but then send each person all the playlists?

If so, I gotta up my partner level

Usually, this is what most people do. It's easier and faster that way. It also lets you see how people react to your taste in music. I normally don't do this, but if it's easier for you, then do it.

I'm just making my mixes and I'm kind of noticing that it's getting pretty heavy with finnish bands that sing in finnish. Is there a taboo against moonspeak cd's? I'll probably write down the lyrics in english and attach it to the CD.

Sorry if that's a stupid question, this just my first time and I want to do it right.

The closest thing in the general guidelines is to try to make your mix listenable to the average person, but moonspeak doesn't automatically make something hard to listen to(at least not for me...then again, I have a French, a Faeroese, and a German song on my mixes, and I don't speak any of those, so what do I know? ).

I'd be stoked to get finish music cause it means I'll likely have never heard it before. English lyrics would just be a nice added bonus, but by no means expected.

Can I please have you as one of my partners xD
I love Finnish music to bits and this would just be ideal. It's just so hard to find that kind of music otherwise and this would be perfect. Then again if the the requesting people to be partnered with isn't a thing then oh well.

If we don't happen to be partners, e-mail me (burnsaber AT hotmail.com). I think we can agree on a additional trade (you can then also say what finnish bands you know so that I can give you new stuff).

I might be interested in doing an exchange with you later, but I'm still thinking about it... I will let you know here after I get my initial two partners send me their discs and I review them.

Now back on topic:

Blood Nightmaster and Freeze_Dried_Chives have been sent emails. It's now up to them to get back to me with their addresses so that I can send them their mixes.

I just compiled a mix of mostly normal music, but has some out there music as well. Maybe 1/4 of it tops is strange.
