00:17 / 17.08.06

Also done.

02:17 / 17.08.06

I've sent xk a pm with some songs.

12:11 / 17.08.06

Sadly SN I think you maybe left out in the cold. I'll see what I can do.

Mist did I mess up my email address to you or somethin'?
RE-PM'd it to you in case I typo-freaked it.

12:19 / 17.08.06

I got the cover art done last night in a flurry of mangled mags and old comics*.
Yo, old school clip art rawks!
..I had so much fun...though the catson kept stealing tiny heads and words off the table...

It will be scanned in tonight/tomorrow so I can print it out with a playlist.
If you have an issue with lewd images and text you should probably tell me now so I can make you a plan brown paper sack FOR YOUR HEAD!!!!!!

*only willing comics were sacrificed to the greater purpose of Art.

12:24 / 17.08.06

Kali and Looth,
still don't have your snail mail.

Looth I suspect you sent it to me and I just can't find it?

15:14 / 17.08.06

Oooh I've got shivers listening to the last song to be added into the anti-luv mix.

Shit....ooowee!

So just need Looth's snail mail.

I'm now arranging the final mixes and squishing them down to burnable size.
Out to buy some fresh burnable cd's and jewel cases!

18:02 / 17.08.06

the prototypes have been burnt! WOOO!
16 people, 32 CD's. A whole lot of boogie!

SN I did manage to get only one of your picks on a mix, hope that is okay?

23:14 / 19.08.06

Oops! I forgot to post and say thanks for doing this, xk. Honestly, I'm actually looking forward to receiving mail for a change. And when it comes, inside there'll be two shiny disks of love and ant-love. Such a great idea.

I chanced upon a stack of blank CD's a while ago, so if you like I could send you a load in return, to try and help cover some of the cost, etc.

But to be honest, I just want to say that the fact that you've put all this together is, well, cool in so many ways. I hope I can return the favour somehow, sometime. Nice one, comrade. All the best.

18:27 / 20.08.06

Yay. What a great project, xk. You rock. Thanks for your kindness in adding a song I chose despite me being woefully and cheekily beyond the deadline.

23:46 / 20.08.06

aw shucks guys. I merely wanted to pilfer your favorite mp3's.
MAUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I'm a-waitin' on the scans of the cover art my savy cutie pie is whipping together from my paste ups.

15:32 / 23.08.06

awwww man! I can't believe I missed this!
I SO wanted to be in
oh well

*puts on Ashley Abram head*

Hmm... Maybe we could start burning these and sending them to members like TeN. Or we could sell them and use the money for Barbelith? (all contributors get a free copy, of course.)

Maybe we could name the series "Oi! THIS is what Barbelith calls music..." and have different themed CD's? e.g "xk's Anti/Love CD" And then we could dig out the other Barbelith CD"s Flyboy mentioned in another thread and add them to our cannon... We could even have compilations of member's own music and the covers desgned by members... and... and...

<*head starts spinning*

Wo there...

*takes off Ashley Abram head, and puts on the usual, self-doubting head*

But then, I haven't got a burner myself (although I'd help out in other ways if possible), and we'd have to pay PRS and whatnot, and it could become a logistic and entrepreneurial nightmare.

Shame though, like most of my grand ideas, along the way there might be a little fun and support we could get and share out of all this , or not of course...

xk, I'm like a rabid dog at my letterbox every morning. Can't wait! Again, cheers mate.

17:22 / 23.08.06

"Maybe we could start burning these and sending them to members like TeN."
well, it's more the collaborative nature of the thing I was interested in
having a copy of a good mix would be nice, but not nearly as nice as having a copy of a mix I helped create, and knowing that other people enjoy having that mix too
but yeah... more projects like this one sound like a fantastic idea... I've sort of got one schemed up in my head right now, as a matter of fact... it's not completely original, and I'm not going to give it away just yet, but I think it has the potential to be really awesome

paranoidwriter waves hello

17:45 / 23.08.06

Do it. I reckon. And I bet it'll be a cracker. I'm nearly about to start a thread in conversation that will probably fall flat on it's face, but who cares, right?

17:48 / 23.08.06

more really awesome goodness!

PW: I figure we should as a community do mixes every so often. You know so we can laugh and cry to the same soundtrack.

I think the next mix group project up my sleeve is we pick a lucky Barbe-poster and make them a stalker CD. You know songs we'd send to them if we...

*ahem*

17:51 / 23.08.06

oh status report on the project:

all the CD's are sitting here waiting for the cover print out. My art designer sweetie had some sort of allergy migaine mishap. I'm going to pick up mailling envy-lopies after work and address them.

WOO!

20:01 / 23.08.06

WOO indeed!

The anticipation, lo, it buildeth.

22:24 / 23.08.06

between this and the barbelith candy exchange being organized in the convo, i can honestly say that i've never been more excited about my mailbox.

23:44 / 24.08.06

ok I know it's taking me forevah...

BUT HAWT DAMN THE COVER ART IS SEXY!!!!!

I'm wicked glad I had it tweaked by a savvy sweetie.

TOMORROW IS MAILING DAY!!!!!

w00t!!!

Postman postman don't be slow
Go like Elvis, go man, go!

17:39 / 25.08.06

*****!MAILED!*******

Yo, art is an expensive undertaking yet it draws us closer and that is what makes it priceless.
Still you beatches owe me the time of day and maybe some toilet paper when I run out in the stall next to you. Just sayin'.

Okay and in my haste to get the mutha out da door I got a little sloppy with the sleeve placement. Looks like 12 year old's attempt at a 'zine.

Some of you may have your playlist chopped up. Once you all get your CD's I'll post the cover art/playlists so you can download it and cut yourself a PERFECT sleeve.
'Til then, shut up.

Please post a 'GOT IT' message here when you receive it. When everyone has had a chance to listen to it we will begin voting for the 2 FABULOUS PRIZES!!!!

you forgot about the prizes, didn't you?

PRIZES THAT WILL SEAR THE MIND AND INFLAME THE BODY, I TELL YOU!

right, Agent XK out.

14:56 / 28.08.06

Excitement Attack!

Looking forward to this as I do all stalkermail. Alas, it's bank holiday weekend here so it miiight take a little longer for Pat to get it to the britpack.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

17:52 / 28.08.06

I bet you anything this mix will be my autumn soundtrack.

So, it's good on one to have the positive aspects of luv on it, but bad to have anti-luv. Especially if you've just started dating someone and you don't want them to know just how cynical and bitter you are.

Thanks, xk, and I'll PM you when I receive it.

17:58 / 28.08.06

Ah what anticipation. Thanks xk.

13:37 / 29.08.06

Got it yesterday - how's that for service? The covers are awesome.

I'll wait on additional comments until the rest of the group reconvenes.

09:25 / 30.08.06

much luv has landed in the UK.

cheers XK

MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!

12:03 / 30.08.06

Still no joy in Canada. But we are a patient people, with high-grade beer. Canada abides.

So, it's good on one to have the positive aspects of luv on it, but bad to have anti-luv. Especially if you've just started dating someone and you don't want them to know just how cynical and bitter you are.

Conversely, I think Luv will just frustrate and annoy me, and I'll spend all my time listening to Anti-Luv, drinking whiskey from a jar and burning old photographs.

I woke up feeling crap today because I called someone a wanker last night for being...well.. a wanker. Anyhoo, I was disappointed in myself, but for some reason I thought, "Get out of bed, something good's going to happen today, you'll see..."
So I washed, got dressed, had a strong coffee, and went to collect my post.

And there it was, amongst the bailiff's letters and junk mail: a package with my name on it; a package containing two shiny disks of Love and Anti-Love, wrapped in two of the coolest black and white CD covers I've seen for a long while.

Again, nice one, xk. You've made my day. I'm putting on the Love CD now, and I'll send you my votes in due course. Thanks, comrade.

13:37 / 30.08.06

I've been working my self to the bone so no Barbe time for the last few days.
Glad to check in and find everyone groovey.
I'm glad you guys dig the cover art!

Wierd that the UK kids are getting them before the Canadians..Ah well postal service logic...

I'll check back here in a few days and hopefully everyone will have them.
sorry my return address looks like shite, the postal worker made me write it on as she was stamping the wee things. Ugh...

Be Well!

Got mine this morning! Haven't listened to it yet, but the sleeves are TEH SEKSEH.

14:47 / 30.08.06

sorry my return address looks like shite

Wait, some of y'all got a return address on yours?

15:41 / 30.08.06

Got mine! Big up the sleeves!

Listened through Luv so far. Tis sexy. Critical thought when not overcome with awesome.

15:44 / 30.08.06

Wait, some of y'all got a return address on yours?

Yeah. Mine's from

Gotta say: been listening to both CD's, and they're fandabidozi! Tope tunes and in a great order.

Sincerely, I'm REALLY glad I got involved in this. Brian knows how I'm going to vote though; I feel like a Dickensian orphan with a credit note, smiling and trembling in a toyshop owned by Roald Dahl.

Thanks, everyone. You are da greatest.

16:46 / 30.08.06

It Has Been Received, over here in Merrie Englande.

And lo, it is very, very funky.
