And I must apologize to Medusa, I don't want to turn this into the "send cookies to U" thread. |

If I happen to miss the new thread, I really want to be included :)
Seriously, I think we will have to send cookie recipees. I think pretty much else will get stuck at customs. |
Count me in for the exchange... :)
|
I don't want to be all anal and stuff - at least not unless that's what's called for in the thread - but are there going to be problems at customs if we send - uh - copyrighted recordings by the mail? :readfineprint:
Awww hell! I've done worse. Count me in for international exchange. :sunglass: |

I can't commit to LR and you think you can get me to be responsible for wrangling this? mwahahahaha! Funny thing is I was just thinking about this the other day. Hope you get lots of folks involved. Let me know if you have any questions. |
Anyone else interested?!

Besides, then they'll smell like coffee grounds. :eyebrow: I love the concept of this. I won't be able to participate (archaic computer and equipment) but I reserve the right to randomly pm people and ask "What'd you get?" :| |

Gemme, I quite busted out laughing with this...oh...I mean, I have no idea what that means...er...somebody mentioned cookies? |
Interested But Have a Couple of Questions...
Count me in. Music is my hobby. I have a huge collection and variety of music. I make cds all the time.
I especially love to blare my homemade stuff in my car on my long commute to work or one of my out and about journeys. What is the limit for the number of people in a group? I would suggest 4 or 5 the most depending on how many participate in this. My only reservation is exchanging addresses with folks I don't know. Not too sure if I like that idea. And no, I don't have a PO Box. However, if I know you from this website or another website, then that's cool, if not, that can be somewhat of a problem for me. It may also cause a problem with folks who have had stalkers in the past and may go by different screen names, who may want to consider this cd exchange program. Not to sound paranoid, but I'm covering all ground and want to be sure there are no repercussions for anyone who may have experienced shit like this now, prior or possible future encounters. Any suggestions Dusa? |

I'm still interested, though I see there hasn't been much going on on the thread lately. I'm not on the site every day, but don't want to miss out! I'll subscribe and check back.

Hey Scorp,
I get your concern :) Ive been in 3 other swaps and have never had any issues. I did sit one swap out because there was one person participating who I did not want to have any of my info and rather than ask to be in a different swap, I just sat it out. Id be glad to receive CDs on your behalf and send them out to you if that would make you feel more comfortble :) Besides, if I put you in the same swapgroup as myself, the people making CDs can save on the cost of shipping by sending 2 CDs to the same address versus a separate shipping charge. Lemme know! I'l start compiling the list of folks and post back in a bit! |
Heya Dusa,
Sounds good. Go ahead and count me... Just trying to be proactive and make sure not only for me, but for anyone else who may have had concerns. Rubbing hands together...I have some cool stuff I can compile... ;) :cheesy: Quote:

Ok, here is the list of folks that I have gleaned from this thread who said they wanted to participate:

Reading Scorp's concerns made me think about a book swap I was part of on bee eff. Anyhow, when we exchanged books, we had names and address, but had no idea who they were unless we knew their screen names from being personal friends. The person in charge got our book lists and distributed names, addresses and what book(s) to ship that person. No one ever complained about privacy doing it that way. Perhaps the CDX could work the same way..........Wolfy who is not going to be part of it because I'm a computer idiot when it comes to stuff like making CD's I have to mix.

And in all of the other venues I've been involved in this it's never been an issue. Hope that helps. |
Really looking forward to this! I've got a U.S. post office box, so there won't be any extra charge to send to me. I think most everyone is in the States. No?
I'm wondering how to choose the music to send. I have a real mix in my collection, but if anybody absolutely hates classical, or C&W..... Or does that just make it too complicated? Awaiting further instructions! :floatbee: |
Quote:
sometimes the group makes a list of criteria for each song like 1 - a song about sadness 2 - a band with at least 4 words in their name ect lots of people will make a general theme mix like road trip 1997 songs of a broken heart ect i've been sent homemade demo tapes from garage bands and there is also the snapshot of your music collection mix that's just whatever songs you think everyone should hear if that's classical and c/w then that's what it should be to me the whole idea is you don't know what you will get that's what makes it fun |
I may be interested in becoming involved.

What's The Status?
So what's the scoop with this? Are we going to move forward and start doing the exchanges? If so, who determines the first type of music we are going to exchange?
|
Ok - Nows the time!!!
If you want in the swap, speak now or forever hold your peace! If you want out of the swap, speak now or you will be expected to actually DO the swap! We will exchange 1 mix CD of any genre or mix of music that you prefer. In the past, people have made their own cover art, made more than one CD, or sent tiny little gifts with their CD - All of that is completely up to you, the only requirement is that you send 1 CD to each person in your swap. I'll go ahead and get people into swap groups. I have these people. Again, if you want in or out, speak now!

We have 22 people. We can do 3 groups with 4 people in each group and 2 groups with 5 people in each. :) |
i am such a sucker for peer pressure.
omg fine I'm making a commitment here. |
Cool...Let the swapping begin!

I have lots of questions.
Are we going to all swap our addresses?
Are we all going to send our addresses to a central person? Are we going to have one central person per group to be the address-holder? Are we going to have a theme (Love songs, hate songs, songs that make you happy, songs that make you wanna dance, road trip songs?), or is it mix-tape style? Are we going to have a set genre of music? |
We can do a couple of things with addresses:
In the last swap that Waldo did, Waldo had everyone send the address to her and then she sent out the swap groups and addresses. We can remove the screen names if people want and just use initials on the packages if people want but there will be times that people like me who live in Arkansas will still be easily identified. Now, the other option is that ALL of you can mail your CDs to the PO Box for ButchFemmePlanet and *I* will repackage all of the CDs and mail them all back out to each of you. That would mean that nobody would have anyone's address. It would be cheaper for everyone because all of you would only have to mail one set of CDs instead of 3 or 4 different mailings. Im totally willing to do that if folks would feel more comfortable. I think that for this swap, we wont require a theme but I always like to do one myself and if folks want to do that, they are certainly welcome. :) |
Medusa, if you don't mind doing the work, sending them all to one address seems like the simplest idea. But I'll go along with whatever everyone decides.
Looking forward to the exchange. I'll be on vacation next week, but will most certainly get right to the task of compiling a play list when I get back. Sue :floatbee: |
Medusa
I'm all for sending them to you :) |
This is going to be fun! I can't wait! Hurry!
|
One more question...
Do people who flake out and don't send CDs but get them from everyone else without an explanation get publicly moderated and/or spanked? Just kidding. Not really. |

And nothing was said about sending money to whoever is gonna wrangle this thing. My suggestion ~ to keep costs down ~ would be to send the CD in a cardboard or lightweight plastic sleeve to make the package lighter in weight. And my other suggestion, since there are so many of us would be to send $8 each to help with postage....and if You can swing $10, even better. So....now my questions are: 1. Medusa, are You sure You wanna do this? 2. When's the deadline? I can't wait! |
