I want some feedback on this. It was done over on Punk Planet's boards and I wouldn't mind seeing it here. Everyone posts their mix tape listings. Then all of the eligable participants and paired up (via random chance) and then notified who their match is, and then they can PM mailing info back and forth. What do you guys think? Voting closes Monday.
-
I enjoy the concept, just wonderin' about legalities.
-
Legalities? I'm surrounded by bunches of law students, I"m sure I could ask one of them, but they're scary. But really, if you're using songs from your own collection on a mixtape for someone else and not making money off it....I don't see the problem.
As for the cocept, yeah I guess I'd be game. I'm not involved in mixtape trading at all so I'll ask some dumb questions. Do people still actually trade tapes? or is the term the same, while people trade CDs? Also, I think it would be cool if we were just assigned someone random without seeing their list. Then we could get a random goodness without knowing what is on it beforehand. Kinda like a QC secret-santa dealy-o.

Or Secret Satan, given the musical proclivities of some of the forumites here . . .

My luck KharBevNor will have me and I'll try in my vainest attempt to get through 15 death metal songs. Of course I'm sure whoever gets me will be saying "what is this shite" to half the stuff on what i make up. But thats the whole point of stuff like this -- to get exposed to stuff you wouldn't necessarily listen to.
~~Willis
-
Well, you could also pick and choose. I think we could all have one or two that we object to getting.
-
I did this on another forum (mix tapes are for no, mix cd's are much easier), and it worked out pretty well, it's a good way to get some exposure to new music. The biggest problem is everyone getting their lazy asses to the post office.
To make it interesting you can do a theme, such as "Songs beginning with the letter 'L.'"
Anyway, I don't know what the legality of this is either.

Sheesh, I don't even like death metal that much.
Sounds pretty cool though. I personally trade CDs as well as individual tracks over MSN with my best mate
-
I'd be interested in doing this. I've a got tons of old mailing evelopes and blank CD-Rs lying around. Don't know how much someone else would like a mix by me as it would probably be rather experimental in an artsy kind of way. how would we handle people being on different sides of the pond?
-
Looks like you have full support, thus far.
-
speaking of mixtapes, does anyone have any tricks to getting a good (or at least decent) quality of recording? The only thing I've gotton a good recording from was cranking my computer speakers way up and using the only thing I have to record cassettes (an old childrens radio shack tape player); and I can only do that without threat of death from the other people in this house on Mondays for about thirty minutes.
I'd normally just use cd's, but my alarm clock only does radio or cassette. The college station plays this awesome jazz show on thursday mornings which works like a charm, but on days like tuesday it's just talk radio that won't wake me at all.
-
@Freezey: Don't you have a stereo system with both CD and cassette? If so, most of them can record straight from the CD just by pressing the record button whilst on CD mode then playing the CD. Some even start the CD for you when you press record.
I'd imagine a similiar thing could be done by using audio-cable to connect the speaker port of your PC to the tape recorders microphone slot and then playing the CD in your PC and recording the speaker feed, though there might be technical problems in that: I've been having insane trouble trying to get my PC to record off my guitar amps emulated line-out.
-
I love mixtapes, just sent off one to someone on another forum so I'm eager to get going on another. It's pretty cheap to send one to the US, I've done it a few times so don't worry about that. Mix CDs aren't nearly as good though, they have so much less passion put into them. Mixtapes need care and attention, CDs are just too damn easy.
As for the legality, it's quite possibly legal since no money is changing hands and totally legal if you're doing stuff by people who don't care about copyright crap, and even if it isn't there's absolutely no chance of ever getting into trouble over it so who cares?
Long live the tape trade!
-
The legality question isn't so much about whether we get in trouble, as it is about using Jeph's forum (yes, Jeph's forum) to advocate illegal acts. Not fun for him, not fun for us.
-
Good point.
Well, I've been trading tapes for many years now and I've never heard of anyone or anything getting in trouble for it. One site I frequent even has a dedicated tape trade section of the forum, it's very blatant. I'd say Jeph was very, very safe.
-
Fair enough, though I'd like clarifiction on the legalities of it before I get involved - not for fear of the law, but for fear of angering the mods!
-
Well, if the mods did think it was dodgy (but like I said, I don't think they have any cause at all to worry, it wouldn't even occur to me as a problem. Their call though) I have more than enough good stuff which would be totally legal to tape for people since it's by DIY bands to do trades with anyone who fancied it.
-
Khar, if you wont bring the Death Metal goodness, I will boy :P
-
I'm keen. Could be interesting with the trans-atlantic issue, but it's all good. Just write 'all copywrite reserved by the original artists, for promotional use only' somewhere, that'll make it legal fo' sho'!
-
Tapes from people in other countries are the best, since there's more chance of hearing people you'd never get to otherwise.
Oh, and on the legal subject, since the forced listening thread is basically encouraging the use of p2p software or people hosting songs so others can download them it's far far more likely to get people like the RIAA's back up since that's what they're fussed about these days. They know mixtapes will only help their sales if anything since we're basically doing the same thing free CDs on magazines or cheap label promos do except without the cost to them. It's free advertising!
-
Khar, if you wont bring the Death Metal goodness, I will boy :P
hehe, I was thinking of maybe doing a tape called 'No Death Metal Whatsoever' and filling it with BM, Grind and harsh power/MDM, so no actual death metal.
If I did do this, I would simply make what I honestly considered to be a really kick-ass mix of obscure and semi-obscure bands, crossing a wide (and I do mean wide) variety of sounds and genres. I've already got tons of CDs and playlists lying around of that type of thing, and I love making them, tbh. Whether you liked what I put would be up to you.
-
I'm really keen on this idea. Basically just because I'm interested in what I'd get... I don't think anything I listen to is really obscure or anything... So poor person who gets me. But still sounds cool none the less!
-
Oh, I'm in on this.
-
oh man.
awesome oppurtunity to tie someone down (figuratively, of course) and subject them to the less, uh, accessible parts of my musical taste.
trying to get people to listen to my music is like trying to sell textbooks on fluid mechanics on a street corner.
-
If the powers above me say otherwise then I'll go with that, but I'm going to say that while this is a grey area, we're not engaging in wholesale music theft, and we're not showing people where they can get free music unlawfully. I think that this is okay.
So what I suggest is if you're in say so here, we will stop accepting names next Wednesday. At that point I'll randomly pick a "send to order" at which point you can take care of exchanging addresses via PM.
Sound good?
-
Go-ahead from a mod. Works for me - I'm in!
-
i'm in if we're doing mix cds... most of my music is on my computer only so i can't really make mix tapes very easily...
edit- i'd prefer to receive a mix cd too... since the only place i have a tape player is in my car and i usually listen to music only on my computer or mp3 player.
-
I don't really see what difference it should make, what medium people use - as long as it's recorded and can be put in the post, and the person at the other end has the means to play it. Use whatever suits you.
-
I'm doing a mixed CD, it is up to you in terms of what medium you use, but keep in mind that a lot of folks no longer have tape decks, or prefer to be able to import music to their computer. I don't even have a CD player in my car, just an iPod.
Perhaps that is something you can co-ordinate with the person on the other end once you find out who that is?
For the record, I'm in.
-
I'll do it!
-
Now we just need to get an even number of people sorted.
-
I'm in too! Let us rock and/or roll!
-
Yay, trading! I can only do tapes though, my computer doesn't have a CD burner.
-
Now we just need to get an even number of people sorted.
We won't need an even number, we aren't pairing off. It will be a randomly selected list and you'll give to the next person on the list. The last person will give to the first person.
-
Can people not enter this if they aren't totally set on trading? You usually get some annoying people that say they'll do mixes and then never bother, and it's always really disappointing for the people who do and then get nothing.
-
Those whoe break the chain shall have the same done to their kneecaps.
Let's set up a seperate fourm sticky for track lists.
-
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS INTERNET ACTIVITY.
-
Hey Mod type persons, is there anyway to tell who all voted for a poll. If we can do it that way I set this poll to close after a set amount of time. I believe it was three days.
-
sounds fun, i'm in!
-
Excellant. Are we going to running some sort of theme, or is it a free for all?
-
I always construct my Cd's as a genre hopscotch.
-
Oooh!
I'm in!
The only problem I have is getting my computer to work, as it's died, so my eager habit of CD burning has taken something of a backseat, but I can still do tapes...
Another chance to inflict my music on people, oh yes...
-
I'll join too! I just hope the CD burner i've got at home starts to behave itself. From what i remember, it was always a bit dodgy. But if all else fails, mix tapes it is. And also..it'll be cool to get interesting post for once!
-
Count me in. I'm actually working on a mix just for myself as we speak.
-
Willis is game
~~Willis
-
oooOOOoooOOO... this sounds saucey.... I'm in...
-
Who the hell are slint? It'#s like som,one was trying to type slant but slpped! I slipped a few times there, but that's because I'm slippery as an eel with added slip WOO!
-
Khar's drunken posts are the best posts EVER.
-
If you meet me in real life whilst totally pissed, you either think I'm the coolest thing ever, or try to beat me up.
Or debate neo-paganism with me. But you have to be as drunk as me first, and know what that is.
-
I like this mixtrade idea. I know nobody here knows who I am or anything about my musical tastes, but that makes for a more interesting trade. I hope.
-
Just as long as it's not "interesting" in the Chinese curse sense of the word!
-
To: Whoever is organizing this (Mnementh?)
Re: Mix tapes
Please include me on the exchange list. But I should inform you of two possible complications:
1) I am not in the continental United States, are people willing to ship internationally?
2) I do not have a tape player because it would have been ridiculous to bring my stereo equipment with me on a plane when I came to Germany. The result is that I can only play CDs using my laptop. I hope whoever I get paired with does not send me an actual tape.
Thank you and sincerely,
Justin
-
Not in the U.S.? Hell, some of us aren't even in the Northern Hemisphere!
-
I think most people will be doing CDs, so you should be able to avoid getting tapes. There'll be a few of us Europeans too, so I wouldn't worry about the international thing.
-

(i'm in, by the way)
-
Count me in, did this on another forum and it was great fun, got a lot out of it. Only thing is, don't make it 100% random because we want it to get two silly, having two people with the sameish music taste paired up would just be daft.
My 2 pence on the subject, organise via continent and media please.
p.s don't pair me with Khar, he's sent me his music before and er.. he smells. yes.
-
So you dont want to get CDs from ANY of the Metalheads hear them? Someone is asking for a CD of Drone and Noise :P
-
To clarify I wil say that I most certainly intend to participate in this. I'm equipped to do tapes or CD-r's. I'm fine to accept either too. CDs would be easier but a tape would allow me to bring the full spectrum of my collection to bear as I have a fair bit of vinyl, though my record player doesn't make particularily superb recordings. My tastes are a little experimental with leanings towards drone and some no-wave-ish stuff. I'm in the continental united states. When do we start?
Edit: Drone and noise? I can certainly do that.
-
I'm keen for a CD of Drone and Noise. But of course, we'll have to see who we get, I'm not having any pussying around with people trying to get music they actually like. No! This is about breaking boundries, expanding tastes, terrifying neighbours, alienating friends, etc, etc.
-
Editied because I am a dipshit who forgot Mnenmeth took care of this.
-
I have my mix ready. When are we going to get this thing organised?
-
I say we are good to go now. We have 24 people. I will work this out later tonight as to who has who. I will post this before 9pm CDT.
-
So you dont want to get CDs from ANY of the Metalheads hear them? Someone is asking for a CD of Drone and Noise :P
Oh, metal I can deal with, it's just that I know Khar will send me a CD that alternates ultimate slaughter death vomit kill metal with Finnish Polka Folk Rock Jazz or something similarly obscure in an effort to make my head bleed.
Well, I say metal, I only go so far. Like girlie sub metal and almost metal rockish stuff. And Maiden. Because Maiden are just great.
-
That's pretty much what he's doing really. I figure I'll just slap on Sunn O)))'s first album played at 1/3 seepd with double the bass.
-
I'm in. Not sure if I said that definitely on the last page, but sign me up.
-
Alright I think that we have enough people lets set up a theme. I already suggested genere hopscotch. I would like to narrow it down a bit from there.
-
Theme? I thought people would just send whatever they feel like. Isn't that part of the fun - that you don't know what you're going to get?
-
Alright that's fine I just want to make sure evryone's on the same page. Also Mne posted this on the last page.
-
No themes. I just spent over an hour making the lyrics sheet for my mix, I had to transcribe a good few of the songs myself.
-
Shit, I didn't realise so many people had actually started making their compilations. I'd better get moving.
-
I sure hope I get assigned to someone on this continent.

Mne, could you try and work that into your plans?

I finished my mix yesterday. Now I'm just working on making a little info-sheet for it, as opposed to the simple tracklist I had originally typed out. Hopefully that's not too pretentious. I'll try to stay away from amateur rock journalism! I know that I like to receive at least a little information on artists with which I am unfamiliar, so I'd like to do the same for whoever ends up receiving my mix.
-
Go ahead! I have 27 pages of tracklist, lyrics and notes with mine. (Mainly lyrics)

I think we should have a competition when Mnementh does his thing and sorts out who sends to who. The competition is, let's get this whole thing done smoothly and sensibly, with no-one being a complaining dick. If you win, you get the prize of knowing you are a competant human being. I for one intend to win big time.
-
This isn't in order yet, but here is a list of who I have. The asterisks mean you don't want to ship out of NA, so I'll try and get you set up with someone, but given the line nature of this, I might have to screw one of you over.
Let me know if I am missing anyone. 45 minutes to get in on this.

OH JOY!!!!
Let's rock and roll ladies and gentlemen.
-
Wow. How did I get muffy? Well, this will be... interesting.
-
I like this mixtape idea, but I'd rather not get laughed at for my weirdly eclectic taste... also whoever got me might have to deal with a bluegrass song or two xD
-
Don't worry, you're not the only one with eclectic taste 'round here - and you're certainly not the only bluegrass fan.
-
Bluegrass = win. Polka = win to the 100th power.
-
You know what's even better than polka? That song from that movie "History Of the World Part I". You know the one I mean, where they're singing about the Inquisition.
-
Oh sure, have the twee pop addict give a tape to the metal head :)
-
I just realized I'm getting one from Robbo.
The tape I'm recieving won't suck! woo!
-
Oh sure, have the twee pop addict give a tape to the metal head :)
Of course - that's the whole point! I mean, where's the fun in you and me exchanging Darren Hanlon songs, huh?
EDIT: Send Khar "Brooklyn Bridge" - it's a song all about a romance between metal-heads!
-
Hmm... I was going to use "I wish that I was beautiful for you" but you're right - "Brooklyn Bridge" is probably more appropriate
-
Plus it gets bonus points for rhyming "Manhattan" with "That'n."
Although that whole verse about dreaming of driving along the road in "I Wish" is brilliant as well.
-
You know what's even better than polka? That song from that movie "History Of the World Part I". You know the one I mean, where they're singing about the Inquisition.
thanks. anytime anyone even mentions that song i get it stuck in my head. rarrrrgh.
-
I have a feeling that I'm going to be gritting my teeth to sit through my cd/tape :p
Which brings me on to something. I was going to put this in my PM, but I think everyone should swear, solemnly, to listen to every second of every song on their mix in one sitting.
-
Good idea - but I'm strongly tempted to encourage nickyandthefuture to send you both sides of a 120 minute tape!
-
:o I moderated my CD to have a wide variety of songs, at least some of which might be appreciated by anyone who got the CD.*
* And some where you just go 'arghleflarghlewtf?'
-
Kai, you're a lucky man. But this probably means I'm gonna have to throw weird shit at you to make you listen to something new and different.
Which brings me on to something. I was going to put this in my PM, but I think everyone should swear, solemnly, to listen to every second of every song on their mix in one sitting.
Indeed man, because there's no point otherwise, just takes all the fun out of it.
-
Agh...I am trying to appeal to my better half, not to formulate the bost brain-rapingly extreme CD I can put together with my current music collection.
-
It's got to get a full listen through, or there's no point. Let's think positive though, I don't want to see people assuming they're gonna hate it all before they even get it.
I'm trying to get a balance between extreme and moderate. Avoiding Noise, but putting in some Breakcore, for example.
-
That isn't going to work. Some people can know right now that they will hate what they get. Because they hate the bands their sender listens to.
But then this isn't about getting what you like. Apart from Kai who won the Metalhead draw. I'm sad about that, I wanted to make some Indie Kid suffer life long mental damage.
-
haha..this is gonna be great!
Pip, beware...
;)
-
Woop! Hope you'll like your mixtape, willis :)
-
Khar: Hey don't worry, it won't be all songs about My Little Ponies. Just one.
Are we all going to post our tracklists on here? Maybe after the recipient gets the tape?
-
I dont think Khar is worried about what he gets. He's trying to think if he should cause brains to explode out of heads with his cd or not.
-
Are we all going to post our tracklists on here? Maybe after the recipient gets the tape?
I was going to suggest we all post the tracklist of the CD/tape we receive.
-
I've just finalised the track list for yours, Dan. Oh, you're in for some delectable treats and tasty variety!
-
How about we post the tracklists of our own CDs/Tapes here once we send them off and then make a seperate thread where we review and discuss them once we recieve them?
-
Well, that might spoil the surprise for, especially for folks who are getting their's from other countries.
Inlander: I'm excited. Starlight, I have begun putting yours together, you're in for quite the electic treat.
-
I'll sort mine out Saturday.
-
I say post the tracklist of the one you get, to avoid ruining surprise
-
songs about My Little Ponies.
omigosh! can we trade just for fun?
-
Yeah, I reckon posting the list of the one you get's best, I always prefer a tape to be surprise. I just played the one I got yesterday for the first time, and it kicked off with an Alan Partridge sample followed by Limp Wrist. Result!
I'm kind of hoping the person making mine is a full-on indie kid, I haven't been keeping up with a lot of indie rock for years so it'll be nice to see what's been going on there lately.

Quiet, you, or I'll pitchfork ya!
-
I will trade with her too, because she's a nice person.
-
Okay, but I think here we've got to draw a line in the sand. Nominations are over. It seems to be a sparkling success, so I don't see why we can't have a second round, but for now - I think that should be it, lest the whole thing get out of control.
-
I think I might actually go with a double CD compilation here. I just require a suitable case for it. I'm going to roba padded envelope from work on Monday and send it out Tuesday morning. Actually, if I can get away with it, I'll just send it via work, thus saving me the cost of postage. Yay!
-
Brittany has not PMed me back with her address yet...
-
I also don't have myiaa's address, whom I'm supposed to send my CD to.
-
Give them some more time. We just got this sorted out, and not everyone is here everyday.
-
I just got back to you sir, and it's BrittAny :P Just got done with finals, so I've been out and about.
-

I was gonna do that - but then I decided it'd be cheating. And a bit too much like hard work!
-
Right, CDs burned, will be in the post tomorrow morn, so I reckon it should arrive Thursday. Henjoy.
New thread for when they arrive I take it?
-
Progress report. I've got the mix complied but I want to be artistic and make some nice packaging. Would have done it over the weekend but I was moving home. Will try to get mailing done by the end of the week.
-
Bah, you people are so sloooooow! I posted mine yesterday.
-
I've been busy! Then I had to research mr nothingwitty and what he likes. I am sorry nothingwitty, we have realllllllllllllllly similar tastes, it seems. I'm trying to have stuff you might not have heard before... I still don't have the mix perfected: got all the songs, but the order is absolute trash.
-
I just burned my mix, I think the order works.
-
My mix is burned, my cover is designed, and my hilarious and informative liner notes written. I just need to print the latter two and mail it. Which I will do tonight. God knows when it'll arrive.
-
yeah, I was going to have mine in the mail today, just finishing it up though.. so tomorrow! first thing in the morning...
I'm SO excited though, this is SO much fun... I made it all pretty too! I'm like an old lady at a bridge game... WOOO!
-
I was gutted, there was so much more I wanted to put on.. gnnargh, was up 'till 1am getting it done in the end and I would have amde another CD if I could have. Printed off a quick and dirty cover and chucked in in a padded envelope this morning. Not 100% on the ordering I ended up with because I had to cut loads of stuff, especially on the second CD. Cursed 10 minute tracks.
-

Tomorrow - but I want it noooooooooooowwwwwww!!!
-
I'm waiting for that damned printer cartridge to get in (it will get in tomorrow, says mom), then I'll be able to print the surrounding crap, and get it mailed out.
In a way, I almost feel sorry for pistachio. :)
-
Wiiiiiiiillliiiiisss! Where are you? It's kinda disheartening designing my mix and not having an address to send it too. Someone needs to witness my sleeve designs, dammit.
-
. . . Sleeve designs?
Oh, crap.
Oh well, the music can speak for itself, right? . . . Right?
-
Kai's gonna be lucky if I dont just include the track list as a text file on a data section of the CD.

I like that attitude Robbo, cause you'll just be getting a disc with a plain white piece of paper with the tracklisting, oh and by the way I shall be posting tomorrow, or thursday, maybe Friday... Don't pressure me goddamnit!
-
Hehe, it's alright man. And I'm definatly not fussed, I dont care if you can draw, I just wanna know what you throw at me.
-
Hell, if anyone has a mixtape all made up with nowhere to send it, I'll take it, my horizons need broadening.
-
I have made my airmail enquiries and will post sometime this week or possibly at the weekend.
-
I won't be able to post until Friday as I have less than £10 to last me the week, including transport and nicotine, but I shall use the time to make a spiffy cover :)
-

Yeah that's right a plain piece of paper that has writing on it! Not sure if that's an oxymoron or I am just a moron!
-
Plain as in unpatterned, unmarbled etc.
EDIT: anyway Faker, as long as you've got the pretend gun-fight from "Spaced" as your avatar you can get away with anything!
-
Mine is burned cover arted and slipcased. NAH will post tommorow.
-
Dan, I'll send mine ASAP, I've been swamped with work, so I'll probably get round to it by the end of this week, YAY!
-
Okay, everything's set, I just need to find a mechanism of transporting it across the country (CD case in an envelope, some kinda CD-envelope, any suggestions would be helpful) and c1utch will have his mix!
-
A standard cheap padded envelope big enough to fit a CD will do you, if they don't sell them in post offices where you are then any stationers will no doubt have them, but if you want to be totally sure to avoid damage then get a piece of stiff cardboard to go in there too so it won't get bent.
-
I have it all burned and whatnot, and I just need to pick up an envelope and some stamps.
Also, how did I end up shipping to ENG A LAND?
-
Because you're getting a package from there so it's a fair deal? Should be sending mine airmail today, all going well man.
-
I had a dream last nigth that I'd actually sent someone a CD with YMCA and Agadoo on there. I worry about myself sometimes.
-
Yeah...oops. I've been on vacation for the past 12 days and I've had no internet access. So yeah, I'm just getting caught up with these messages. My sincerest apologies to Tinjessla and Salada. But I am back and will do my best to get with the program.
~~Willis, getting with the program
-
I'm shipping Tuesday since this is May long weekend anyhow; think I'll just put it in a jewel case, bubble-wrap it and then send it in an envelope. Sure makes the liners easier to create.
