May mix CD: When The May Rains Come

Page: (1)2 3

First off, apologies for the late start to this mix. But it's still May, at least.

The title says it all, really: please submit your songs for inclusion in a mix CD (or a double if enough people sign up, one song per person) on the theme of rain and/or May (or springtime in general at a stretch). Feel free to play fast and loose with the words and ideas, and I'll do my best to wrestle them all into a nice refreshing CD for our mutual delectation.

So, who's in for a spin?

MattShepherd: I WEDDED KALI!

10:42 / 09.05.07

I am in! Like Flynn!

Mike Modular

10:47 / 09.05.07

I'm in too. In like, er, Flint

Count me in.

Rain, eh? I actually just finished making a summer mix CD, so this will make a bit of a chance, and proably one more in keeping with the actual weather.

Lama glama

I have the perfect track, so I'm in!

Mon Oncle Ignatius

11:34 / 09.05.07

I thought of this theme as soon as I proposed myself for doing the May mix CD way back when, so I feel a tad guilty for the current deterioration in the weather conditions in London. Isn't solipsism wonderful?

There is an obvious contender for a track for this mix (which I won't name, but comes in at least two versions) so it/they will have to be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. So as soon as the contributors are finalised, I'll make a request for track suggestion PMs.

Ticker

12:37 / 09.05.07

Me please!

Mon Oncle Ignatius

12:46 / 09.05.07

Yay! Six so far - who's next for joining? Roll up! Roll up!

Yes please...

I also want to rain on this parade!

Saveloy

13:07 / 09.05.07

I'm in, if you'll have me. I've not done this before - do I just send an MP3 along to the mix boss?

Triplets

13:09 / 09.05.07

IF THERE IS SPACE THEN, BY CROM, A MAN IS IN!

Mono

13:23 / 09.05.07

I'm in! But only if I can give you the song in person. I have no mp3 capability...

Mon Oncle Ignatius

13:36 / 09.05.07

Saveloy: do I just send an MP3 along to the mix boss?

That's correct. When the list of contributors is finalised, I'll PM everyone to give them the email address to send in an MP3 to.

Mono: You can give me the track in person, no problem.

Pick me! Pick me!

13:41 / 09.05.07

Please me in? Yes?!

Mon Oncle Ignatius

13:42 / 09.05.07

Thirteen and counting. This looks like it'll have to be a double disc to me at this rate. Yay!

petunia

13:46 / 09.05.07

Yes!

please!

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

14:01 / 09.05.07

I want in too!

Feverfew

15:43 / 09.05.07

I'd like to join if possible.

Mon Oncle Ignatius

15:50 / 09.05.07

Sixteen. Excellent - this will almost certainly make two CDs-worth of Maytime malarkey. Any more for any more?

Hieronymus

16:10 / 09.05.07

I'll pitch in.

Um...

How do I pitch in, exactly?

Mon Oncle Ignatius

16:13 / 09.05.07

You just did!

When all the names are in, I'll PM the details. MattShepherd has set up an FTP server we can use, or alternately an email address will be available for sending MP3s/OGGs/whatever as attachments.

Essential Dazzler

16:52 / 09.05.07

If there's room, I'd love a go. If it's strrrrrretching to 2 discs there's room right?

Mon Oncle Ignatius

16:54 / 09.05.07

There's room. Welcome aboard!

Me too?

But of course. Now we are nineteen.

madfigs #32, now with wasabi

19:05 / 09.05.07

I've never done one of these before, but if it's a double CD there should be room still!

Mon Oncle Ignatius

19:12 / 09.05.07

Twenty. With Stoatie - who just phoned in his participation - that makes twenty-one. I'm sure we can squeeze another few aboard; let's make a limit of twenty-four, just so we avoid that other number.

Haloquin

19:14 / 09.05.07

I'm rather tempted to play... may I? Please?

Mon Oncle Ignatius

19:23 / 09.05.07

We stand here, we twenty-two, poised on the edge of a great adventure!

(In other words, yes!)

sorenson

21:17 / 09.05.07

i think i might JUST make it in to the top 24...yes? please?

Mon Oncle Ignatius

21:42 / 09.05.07

You are Number 23.

(Sorry. I mentioned that number)

Tsuga

22:50 / 09.05.07

If you're in mad 70's double-album mode and there may still be room, let me know cause I want in. If it's possible.

Mon Oncle Ignatius

23:17 / 09.05.07

I am, there is, and you are. This mix set will be soooo seventies, Roger Dean will spin in his grave (despite not being dead yet), at least in its gatefoldiness.

So that's 24 contributors, with 24 tracks awaited (actually, some are already in...). I'll be PMing with the details of how and where very soon.

If it turns out there's any space left once all the tracks are in, anyone who missed out this time might be able to jump aboard as we pull out of the station, but that really will depend on how it works out.

The final list is:

(sorry if your ficsuit name changed in the interim...)
