Sign me up. I've always liked the idea of a physical mix exchange - like Border says, there's something about the hand-crafted nature of an actual mix CD, rather than just a pile of MP3s - but I'm also willing to try the digital exchange.

I'd also like to second the call for a time limit on the mixes, especially if we're looking at a digital exchange. Say, 74 minutes, same as a regular CD.

I am down for 74-minute limit. I'm at about 60 right now, so that's perfect.

 

[8bit]

I'm interested in digital, as my most recent physical attempts seem somewhat unreliable.
Metal Machine Music for all!

 

[scorcho]

i'm up for this as i think i'd be too lazy to take the 2 minutes to burn a disc and the 5 minutes i'd take to find an envelope, affix postage and throw it into the 'box.

in terms of the mixes, is it anything goes or do groups follow a particular mood or concept when creating the mix.

 

[Trakball]

again! if anybody wants a physical CD with cover art & liner notes, send me a PM with your address and I will hook you up for the holidays!

and for a limited time, even non mix thread participants can get down with no obligation! PM! address! happy musical enjoyment stylings!

 

[Agent Dormer]

Added more people to the list. Will be making the accounts on Friday after everyone has signed up. Also, 74 minute limit sounds great.

Also, Jinx: Thanks for the sticky.

 

[Ill Saint]

I totally didn't see this stickied.
My mix is taking shape and should be ready fairly soon. A warm, euphoric, Detroit inspired mix of soulful, funky techno and electro tunes no-one's likely ever heard. Hopefully someone will get a bit of joy out of it.

 

[Hitman]

I feel like particapting this time, Will be my first time though.

 

[Ecrofirt]

ok, sol explain this.

I email you the stuff, you'll set up an FTP account... and then what?

 

[Plankton]

I'm in

This is my first time aswell.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

I'm in. First mix for me, should be interesting.

 

[Suerte]

Erm, I sent you an e-mail but my name isn't in the list.

 

[yoshifumi]

i just realized you had to send an email haha

so far i've been pretty lucky with classic exchanges, there's only a few that i didn't get.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

update the list!

 

[AstroLad]

Let's get this biatch on the road!

 

[AstroLad]

[AstroLad]

3 in total. All zipped up and ready to go.

We're supposed to zip them? I have no idea how what we're supposed to do w/ these (right now mine is just a Playlist in iTunes).

 

[Matlock]

Crossbones style! :-X

Yeah I have about a million (well okay, hundreds) of Cat Power songs, so I tried to choose a couple that I don't think many people have heard and that fit nicely in the mix.

i could do a noise experimental and electro mix too but i don't think it would be much of a crowd pleaser here or in general.

 

[Ill Saint]

All electro house techno funk mindfuck.

You fucking rock sir!

 

[Dilbert]

Agent Dormer -- when you post the final list of "who sends what to whom," I'll lock the thread, and I'll remove the sticky on Monday. You'll want to start a new thread for reviews, questions, status, etc.

By the way, I took the time to read your MGS3 review. I thought that it was a unique way to write a review, which is a GOOD thing. Usually when you read a review, you can imagine the writer checking boxes as he writes the article: "Graphics...check...sound...check...controls...check..."

 

[Eminem]

just a warning to whoever is gonna get my mix...there's gonna be a bit of everything. rock, light rock, metal, trance, etc.
so there will be at least something everyone likes =p

Sure thing. Also, thanks for the kind words on the review. It's near and dear to my heart.

EVERYONE ELSE: Names are in, I'm arranging the list and setting up the accounts for those that need them. Look for them tomorrow.

 

[sprsk]

[Cosmic Bus]

I sent an e-mail last Sunday to sign up for a physical exchange, but I don't see my name on the list...

 

[yoshifumi]

agentdormer, i sent you like 3 emails jumping between physical and digital exchanges :lol
i've decided to go with physical.

 

[Ill Saint]

Is anyone outside of fart doing a more left-field mix? anyone doing a hip-hop mix? Norwegian Death Metal, maybe? Italo Disco?
