Hey GBS, it's been awhile. Look, I've been busy, you've been busy, people have been declaring how gay they are but I think it's time we get back to exchanging some lovely mix CDs. Okay? Okay. So all you need to do here is sign up and you will randomly matched with someone. You will get their info and send them a CD full of whatever music you want to subject them to. In return they will hopefully do the same. If you're feeling nice you might tell them what you thought of the mix and they might do the same. It's all pretty simple really. Now there's nothing I can actually do to enforce any of this so you are trusting your fellow goons here. Still, at worst you'll be out a few bucks for blank CDs and postage. If that's not something you can afford to lose, it probably isn't a good idea to sign up. SIGNUPS ARE OVER Here is the list (the number next to the name is what page the post with their info is on cthulusnewzulubbq (1) and Surfer Rosa Parks (2) BrendianaJones (2) and Double Agent (2) Shnakepup (1) and Jukeboxblues (1) Shnakepup (1) and Pinechild (2) Shnakepup (1) and OfF KiLTeR (1) Y-Hat (1) and My Lovely Horse (1) docbeard (1) and BabyRyoga (2) docbeard (1) and THE DOG HOUSE (1) docbeard (1) and Double Agent (2) Nyagato (1)and Double Agent (2) Nyagato (1) and THE DOG HOUSE (1) Nyagato (1) and OfF KiLTeR (1) Mowglis Haircut (2) and My Lovely Horse (1) runchild (2) and Tendai (1) runchild (2) and Pinechild (2) Inco (2) and Tendai (1) Inco (2) and Jukeboxblues (1) Rexroom (2) and BabyRyoga (2) Rexroom (2) and axleblaze (1) Rexroom (2) and OfF KiLTeR (1) BrendianaJones (2) and THE DOG HOUSE (1) Haifisch (2) and BrendianaJones (2) Haifisch (2) and FadingChord (2) Haifisch (2) and Y-Hat (1) axleblaze (1) and FadingChord (2) cthulusnewzulubbq (1) and FadingChord (2) If there are any problems let me know. I took one less than I said I would to make it all come out even, so if anyone is late, I'll take em. Also it's pretty likely you've been matched with some of these people before if you've been doing these for awhile because of how small the response was this time so just try and make something new and different! Here's a few more thing copy/pasted from the last thread: There is no rule for what you put on the CDs. It is preferred that you try and put lesser known artists or lesser known songs by well known artists but there's also not a thing in the world that can happen to you don't. Still, keep in mind that part of the point of this is to get your musical horizons expanded. Also, you can send file CDs if you want BUT you need to have at least one audio CD as well. Try and make sure you're mix is mostly listenable to the average person. I'm not saying you can't put some horrible anime themes or unlistenable noise metal on your CD if you really want, but try and balance it out a bit. Still, as I said, if you ignore this, there's not a drat thing anyone can do about it. You can send someone as many mixes as you want, but just expect one CD in return. That's all that's required. Don't feel mad because you sent someone five mixes and you only got one back. Also people tend to send the same mixes to all their partners. Don't get mad because you didn't get your own special unique snowflake mix. Nice CD art is encouraged but not required. All you need to provide is a CD and track listing (and for the love of god make sure it's readable). After that, it's all up to you. Just to reiterate, I added the review option so people who write reviews of the CDs get reviews back. Please, only opt for the review option if you are sure you're willing to write one. It's only fair. You can also post about your own mixes when you send them out, but try to wait for your partner to get them first. In general try not to post about what you're putting in your mixes until they've gone out. It's always better if it's a surprise. On that note, don't request people send you/avoid sending you a particular genre of music. The point of this is to expand you're musical horizons. You might think you hate all metal/rap/country/polka/tuvan throat singing but maybe in some mix someone will send you a song that changes everything. Even if that doesn't happen, don't post about what music you'd like/wouldn't like to receive because we just don't care. I think that covers everything. If I left anything out, just tell me and I'll update the OP. If you have any question, I or someone else will do our best to answer you. So until then submit your information, discuss the fine art of mix making and maybe even throw in some late reviews that you forgot to put up in the last thread. Here's my info worseorbetter@gmail.com USA 3 I'll do int. I'll do reviews. No axelblaze fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Dec 15, 2015 |

Hey, can we just swap regular prerecorded CD's? I imagine it like this: I box up 10 prerecorded CD's and send them to a recipient that sends me his/her 10 prerecorded CD's. We listen to them for a while, and then return them to the sender. How does that sound? Love, Vitalis

I will enter into this in all seriousness. It's been a while since I have put together a mix of music that is really only to my own particular case. I am in. off_kilter(at)hotmail(dot)com I will do three exchanges and I will do a review for each one. I will do a bonus review of a mix I found from Bowmore that I opened up only a couple months ago. Also, I am in Canada... should that present an issue. I will ship anywhere.

we got to december 15th dont worry op lol jtrdfw at gmail US 3 partners; sexy partners preferred DDF international : Yes to all. I think its even funnier to imagine a goon mix cd sitting in a basket full of chinese eggs and ipods and whatnot floating across the ocean in some groddy container megaship reviews? Sure! They will be terrible reviews forewarning mailing list: definite as there is no possible way id remember to do anything of this otherwise OP: Take an oath, right now, that even if only 4 whole people sign up for this, that you absolutely go ahead with the plan. Its even funnier that way

Yeah, all right. 99berserkers at gmail I'm in the U.S. I'll take 3 partners if there are 3 partners. I don't mind sending international, though I'd prefer if all three weren't, as I am not made of postage money. I'll do reviews. Er, eventually. If I'm not already on your mailing list, add me.

Excited for this to make a comeback. I've been sitting on a mix idea since we stopped doing it. I promise I will not stiff anyone, but you may wish I had. Email: lovelyhorse at gmx.net (you'll get replies from a different one though, don't be surprised) Country: Germany Partners: 2 International: sure. I'll send anywhere but European partners are super appreciated, if only because I have a streak of bad luck and vanishing mail from overseas. Review: yep! Might not be track-by-track and super in depth but I'll write something. Mailing list: yes e: incidentally, for anyone keeping track, we should be at swap #18.
