Oh yeah, what an arse. Not really E.R.D., I think you could go right after me on the list for the first tape, so PM you address to me and when that one gets to me I will send it off to you. The second tape is in the mail also so you should also PM Saveloy so he could send it on to you, seeing how he is last on the list in reverse order.

I think that should work, Saveloy, what do you think?

errrh, i dunno if it can help but one of my best friend is an intern in a duplication corporation in Paris, it's well knowed here and lot of snippets tape or promo tape or dj's mix tapes are done here. it's pretty cheap and maybe, maybe, maybe, we could use a few free tapes and do this one night or something.
for those who don't know how the shit happen, we put the number of tapes we want in special recorders as big as a room (something like 150 tapes at once, maybe more), and for better quality we can do it in slow speed, so it'll take the real time of the tape (60 ? 90?) and the time to take tapes off their recorders, put 'em back in boxes and oupppppssss, job is done.
oh yeah : i'm deadly serious when i say that if it's for let's see... 15, 20 or something people, it coudl be done for free. after that there's only post to pay...

Of course, if you visited London after your friend in Paris, some of us wouldn't have to pay postage and could spend that money on showering you with alcohol instead...

If 4June's proposal gets off the ground, I volunteer to design, photocopy and mail out a casette cover for both tapes to everyone. My uni's purchasing department made a silly silly mistake and bought us a new high-resolution printer for christmas.

Supherb ideas all around...the duplication and the design.

Nice card by the way, to you Grey.

June & Grey Area, re: duplications and cover>

Sounds bloody marvellous, thank you, both.

"Um... is it too late to chuck my name into the hat on this?"

Not at all, I'll add it right away. I would've done it sooner but I've been away from the interweb for a week.

Saveloy, i'll go through a few times without my own connexion now, so i'll not hang that much on the lith.
BUT i'll check my emails each and everyday, so maybe email me for anything about the duplic' stuff.... but i think i'll see the tapes before it' time !

Just bumping this up to ask for the status of the tapes drifting around...

As I understand it, it looks like this. Lemme know, those concerned, if it's changed:

Hmmm that looks right, except that both tapes will have to end with E. Randy's tracks.

So #1 will start with Saveloy through E. Randy and #2 will start with remorse through Saveloy and on to E Randy once again. I have already mailed #2 on to Fly, so it is possible for E.Randy to jump in and intercept it after Fly. Then E. could send it off to Grey with the seam mended.

00:29 / 07.09.02
uhhh, wait a minute...is that too confusing?


Saveloy are those 'V' thingies travel direction of tape?

Tape 1 will be mailed off to Deric this weekend.

I've recorded my track onto tape \2 and I'm quite happy to send it to either E. Randy or Grey Area... Actually, E might be better cos I'm sure I owe him a mixtape and can maybe get one done and send that as well... PM me.

i hope that if some people put hip hop tracks in it, they'll leave some place on the sleeve, aside their big fat tags and co...

What's up with this - Wher's Tape ? Tought it was meant to be heading in my direction?
 
 
Saveloy
08:24 / 09.09.02
To clear up any confusion (my fault for trying to combine everything in one list), here are the running orders for the two tapes. You can work out who'll be getting each one next by seeing who is the last to have done after their name. Deric is next for tape 1, E. Randy is next for tape 2.


Tape 1:

Saveloy done
Bio K9 done
Deric Holloway
Mr Illmatic
Ruth Gordon
Jack the Bodiless

My Misheard Lada of the Flowers

Tape 2

Remorse done

any news, gang ?

Young Deric has PM'ed me for my address so the tapey is either sailng towards him across the Atlantic or coming back the other way I think. I have a suspicion this tape will be better travelled than most of us (and better hung).

i wish i could fit into some tape box, plus i'm sure i should love Grant or Jack the B' faces when opening the package.
what makes your idea, mr I, quite great.
 
 
Murray Hamhandler
16:57 / 18.09.02
Hopefully sailing towards me. There seems to be some kind of bottleneck where my incoming mail is concerned. I've been expecting six or so packages (including the one in question) for over a week now and none have arrived. It's starting to get a little troublesome...
 
 
remorse
00:09 / 19.09.02
Hmmm... should I start a repeat tape just in case?
 
 
Murray Hamhandler
20:00 / 19.09.02
I wouldn't just yet. The backlog seems to be slooooowly trickling in now. Although I certainly wouldn't have thought that it would take two weeks for the tape to make its way 'cross the ocean.
 
 
Saveloy
11:42 / 20.09.02
Eek! Don't like the sound of that. I would give it a few more days, Deric, maybe check things out with the post office (sounds like it's worth putting in a complaint anyway). If it doesn't turn up, I suggest you start a fresh one rather than Bio or me (this is Tape 1, yeah?), otherwise there's every chance it'll fall into the same mysterious postal hole again.

The only tape player we have is in the car so I had to go to my parents house and use their tape deck. Please tell me it wasnt all for nothing...

I downloaded a copy of Saveloys track to play around the house while I tried to figure out what should follow it so I can:

A. Put the first two tracks on a disc and mail them to you (tomorrow)
B. Put them in my shared folder on SoulSeek so you can d/l them (right now)
C. Go back to my parents house and put them on a new tape (this might take a couple days)

Let me know.
 
 
Saveloy
10:08 / 27.09.02
Thanks, Bio. Option B looks good. I've PMed Deric asking him to have a look at your suggestions, in case he hasn't spotted it already.

Any progress on tape 2? E. Randy - any joy?
 
 
Spatula Clarke
10:30 / 27.09.02
Nope, not seen it yet. Wondering if it's skipped me and gone straight on to Grey Area as a result of me jumping in late.
 
 
Saveloy
15:03 / 27.09.02
Bloody Post Office. We'd be better off flinging the bloody tape out the window and relying on the facking wind to carry it to its destination. Flyboy has been PMed.
 
 
Murray Hamhandler
16:09 / 27.09.02
Tape has still not arrived. I would assume that it is lost. Best to start anew (sigh...).

So funny, yet so true. Well, I guess it could have gotten further along the lists and gone to shit. At least we can get ready to start new ones. We should probably give it few days still, what?
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia
09:25 / 28.09.02
Sorry, I've been distracted but the tape will go out to Randy on Monday...

Any good news from anyone?
