Okay looks like I'm greenlighted to hasslehoff you into helping me with my evil plans....

Normally double shot mixes have a clear connection on the surface Luv/Anti-Luv for example. This 2 CD collective connection is a bit more elusive to instantly discern.

CD NUMBA 1:

A Rare Beauty

Dig out a track that you believe no other contributer has heard. Maybe it's a local band, maybe it's a super b-side, maybe it is your own work. 1 track of antique splendor or off world mystery. Must be a wonderful song though not just rare, but also beautiful. Of course beauty is in the mind of the beholder....

CD NUMBA 2:

Delicious Decadence

Songs about food, food as metaphor, and sensual tantilizing decadent music. This mix is for the smell, flavor, and savor. Bonus points to the full range of sensory dining and dessert groove.

Okay you're asking WTF do these things have in common to give birth to this double shot? That's something the contributors will find out!

Prizes for each of the mixes will include gourmet chocolate mailed to the winners.

I'd like to keep it to a tight schedule so sign up now!

it's pretty easy to do. I like everyone to send me a PM with their choice and if I have the mp3 we're good to go or if I don't we arrange how to get it. In the case of the Rare mix, I better not have it!

Often times I can download tracks or dig them up if people can think of it but can't lay their hands on it directly.

Once everyone confirms they have the mix (I like getting the physical CDs to folks but will do downloads if the media goes astray) we open the vote. I like sending the winners treats but that's just me...

In case of two people selecting the same song I'll ask the second person to pick another one. Though I'm a thinking if it happens with the Rare mix I might ask both of them to try again!

I suspect I'll be going obscure. It's my nature. How about obscure about food?

How about obscure about food?

heh. Iffin' you're overloaded with obscure, go for it.

Remember the Rare also should be beautiful and the Food should be sensual. Obviously standards of beauty and sensuality are up to the individual but you should try and get that in there.

that's 11.

4 more.

..and I have to say the PM's I have so far are making me giddy!

I'm a thinking that if a Rare track has been heard by another contributer we should disqualify it from getting voted in for the prize. What you think?
 
 
Jake, Colossus of Clout
17:54 / 17.01.07
Good idea.

Does sex count as food? Mouthsex? I suppose drinks is making it too easy, huh?

In if there's still space please!

(edit)

Initial selfish frenzy over, I'd love to do it, but please put me last on the list.

room for 1 more by my count. I'm using this thread as the source for hat-in-ring-ness.

I've definitely got one for the food mix, tho "rare and beautiful" will take a bit more thinking about... i'd like to be in tho, if the closing date isn't *too* soon...
 
 
MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!
21:25 / 17.01.07
Obscure easy. Food hard.

23:52 / 17.01.07
Damn this time difference. Well, if there's room left or space opens, let me know.

09:21 / 18.01.07
Me! Am I too late?
 
 
Kiltartan Cross
09:37 / 18.01.07
Gnuh, guess I'll step out then, XK's got me tracks so maybe there'll be room.
 
 
MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!
11:56 / 18.01.07
I've gone short too (3 min. each or so, I think) so there might be room for more.

Is a track acceptable for the "Rare" category if the song is well known, but this version of it is "rare" (ie, only had a very limited release)?
 
 
Ticker
13:12 / 18.01.07
nataraja: a rare cover is acceptable but I'm not sure how it will impact voting if you care about that sort of thing.

Tsuga, rizla mission, Uncle Retrospective we can try and wedge you on in. Go ahead and PM me your choices.

MIXING IS NOW CLOSED!!!!
 
 
Ticker
15:06 / 18.01.07
I hafta say there are some truly beautiful songs being submitted to the Rare mix. YAY!!!!
..and the Food mix is quite a sizzlah!

Now the rest of ya better start sending me your mp3's. PM me if you need my email.

I´ve sent mine. My first two picks for the second CD didn´t work. I checked out the lyrics, and although the titles said something about kitchen and soup, it wasn´t about eating at all.
