So, as Anna said:

"Does anyone want to swap CDs?

I attempted a CD swap over in my livejournal last month but it kind of fell by the wayside (fridgemagnet signed up, but we never swapped anything)

Maybe I should start another thread?"

Since she didnt have the time, I started one.. Anyone interested, could be fun.

YES!
Or, as soon as I get my printer back up and running (I do like making proper CD covers for my babies), and my full CD collection to my new flat, anyway. I ♥ mix CDs.

Yeah.. through PM.. anyone know the cost of sending things abroad?

As I just mentioned over here, I'm up for it.

By the way, on another board we do the mixtape swaps (and I've gotten some ((more*)) great Australian music that way) and the thread starter assigns swap pairs. That might work best, unless we just want to do lots of duplicating and send everything to everyone.

Postage overseas generally isn't so bad -- I don't think I've spent more than $5 on a package.

*((because matsya's mixtapes started me down that road))

Sounds like a good way of organizing things grant. Another thing, should we know the content of these cd`s before we get them?
 
 
grant
19:19 / 24.03.05
No! Surprises good!
 
 
agvvv
19:34 / 24.03.05
Yup. Agree
 
 
agvvv
11:18 / 26.03.05
So should we get on with thins thing or?

Y£AH should be good. Where do I sign?

What-Ho!

As ever, I'm prepared to drop everything and flood the world with mix CDs (wish it could still be tapes in a lot of ways, but not so sadly).

Individual swapping or mass duplicating - all ok with me, just let me know the details via pm or email.

Count me in.
 
 
agvvv
08:53 / 28.03.05
Ok.. who swaps with who and such?
 
 
D Terminator XXXIII
09:48 / 28.03.05
I'm also up for it.
 
 
grant
20:27 / 29.03.05
Ok.. who swaps with who and such?

My advice... wait for a couple more people to sign on and then assign pairs arbitrarily.
 
 
Mike Modular

Me too, please.
 
 
agvvv
10:36 / 30.03.05
Any more takers?

12:11 / 30.03.05
Count me in.
 
 
Gypsy Lantern
12:55 / 30.03.05
Aye, count me in.
 
 
iconoplast
01:46 / 31.03.05
Yes please*

Well, of course I'm in. At the moment I'm restricted to CDs cos I don't have a decent tape-player (or a record player either, which is annoying cos there's loads of stuff on vinyl that I want to play again)

I'm not sure what the best way for swapping them is. I would have suggested that people post tracklistings and then whoever is interested in that compilation could PM the person who made it, but some people don't want to know what the music is in advance, so I guess that's no good.

I would quite happily swap with anyone and everyone who posts in this thread, but I've done that in the past and been the only person who actually mailed out the CDs, so maybe that's not such a good plan either...

Maybe setting up themes might help? When I tried to do this over in my LJ, I had a couple of ideas for themes, but I have moved on from those ideas since then. But maybe people could choose themes and swap them accordingly?

And is fridgemagnet still on for this, too?

me too please!!
 
 
agvvv
14:33 / 02.04.05
Ok, shall we getting cracking?
 
 
rizla mission
15:45 / 02.04.05
Yes, let's.
 
 
matsya
22:36 / 03.04.05
So, which method are we talking here? Will you nominate pairs, mister S? I suggest if you do, that you do it via PMs as well as on the board (if you can be arsed)...

Or we could just pair up in order of appearance on the thread - first poster with second poster, &c, obviously ignoring repeat posters...

What does everyone else think?
 
 
Mike Modular
22:56 / 03.04.05
I don't mind at all. How about putting all the names in a bag and drawing them out like what they do with the football...?
 
 
matsya
03:26 / 04.04.05
Okay, I've taken the liberty of doing the random hat thing, pairing people up that way. Sorry if this is stepping on toes. Just thought the sooner hte better.

So here's your swapping pairs:

* Cloud and Mr. Slightly
* Gypsy Lantern and Ms. Triplets
* matsya and rizla
* meem and skellybones
* anna and bambling
* iconoplast and itsybitsyspidergod
* benny and frownland

and there's your problem right there. we didn't have an even number of swappers. Grant's out in the cold. unless we wait for one other signer-upper and then that person swaps with grant.

So, everyone get PMing and swap addresses. i'm procrastinating at work, can you tell?

I'll make up the numbers if you like...
 
 
agvvv
12:55 / 04.04.05
Great. Lets go then
 
 
matsya
23:23 / 04.04.05
Okay, so Petey and Grant get matched up in mixtape heaven. Done and done. PMs ahoy.
