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.

Just FYI - I can't recall how many of these I did over yonder but there was only one instance when someone contacted me and asked not to be in a particular person's swap set.

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!

i've traded mixtapes/cd's for many years and there are a lot of ways to go about the mix

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.

I never knew! If only I'd known, I would have invited you into my secret lair to make mad passionate love while playing joni mitchell music.

Scorp · 07-08-2010, 07:55 PM

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?

Medusa · 07-08-2010, 08:17 PM

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!

Cool...Let the swapping begin!

Selenay · 07-08-2010, 08:26 PM

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?

Medusa · 07-08-2010, 08:35 PM

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.

suebee · 07-08-2010, 09:00 PM

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.

Spirit Dancer · 07-08-2010, 09:44 PM

I'm all for sending them to you

Canela · 07-08-2010, 09:56 PM

This is going to be fun! I can't wait! Hurry!

Selenay · 07-08-2010, 10:06 PM

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.

What? You're gonna do this in Your spare time?

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!
