Listen, I know not everybody received their tapes/C.D.s from the first round, but frankly if it hasn't arrived by now then it's probably not going to. So who wants to move on? Who wants to join me for another round? Hands up!
-
I will! But on one condition! I don't know what that condition is. Puzzle on it.
-
Could someone explain what this is and how its works, for the benefit of the n00bs? it sounds interesting.
-
Well I don't know anything about it either, but if it has rto do with making and sending a mixtape and getting one in return I'm in.
-
I'd totally be in for this.
-
aye
-
I'm in, of course.
-
I'm in this time round.
I don't get nearly enough post :(
-
Yup, Im definatly in on it this time yo.
-
Yeah, sure.
EDIT:
Listen, I know not everybody received their tapes/C.D.s from the first round, but frankly if it hasn't arrived by now then it's probably not going to.
WRONG'D! Mine got here today. :)
-
Well holy crap, ain't I looking like an idiot right about now! How long's it been?! It must have been sent by guppy.
-
I'm so in ........ I'm in the mood for some new tunes
-
NICK MAKE TAPE.
-
Before I actually read what you wrote I thought I saw 'NICK CAVE MIX TAPE'.
That would've been awesome.
-
I'm ready to go on this.
-
You can't really have a mix tape by one artist.
It's more of a muddle tape.
-
Well holy crap, ain't I looking like an idiot right about now! How long's it been?! It must have been sent by guppy.
Actually, it was salada. I think this may even be the second copy he sent me, because he sent the first one waaay back.
-
No I meant, as in: carried by a guppy . . . like a carrier pigeon . . . only a guppy, a small ineffectual fish . . . Aaaaahhh, it's too late. This joke's dead.
-
in like whoa.
-
count me in.
-
sounds fun, i'll give it a go this round.
-
Bah, I've sent my cd twice now and as far as I know it hasn't arrived. Bleh.
I'm in. Hopefully the postal service doesn't fuck it up this time.
-
Instead of a mix tape, can't we just send them a folder of like 12-20 songs?
-
In^300,000,007
-
what...
-
A more apt point:
Where's the fun in that?
-
I'm in too.
-
Ooh yes, i'll join too.
-
Fo' Realz, my homie. That Mix CD shizzle be off the hook. Straight cold, G. Etc.
-
happy AMY! wooo.. it was just so much fun the first time that I might die if I don't get to do it again! yay!
-
Shouldn't someone sticky this or something so that it doesn't get lost to the black abyss of past threads?
-
nah, just get people like me to make pointless comments every couple of hours.
-
I'M IN. How's it going to work this time? Are we gonna be sending mix tapes/cd's to the people who posted above us or what?
-
They'll probably be a semi-randomised list again....like last time. Thread order wouldn't take into account of who can ship where...and would mean me and Khar trading and that would just lead up more point-scoring elitism than the biggest Indie fans here wish they could do.
-
Indeed. I would have to form several bands just to score scene points over his mix.
-
Hah, indeed but it'd be worth it just to be that Kvlt hey man?
-
Very definitely.
*Digs out his insanely unbelievably rare sludge CD's just in case*
-
Last time around Mnementh took over and organised the thing. I wonder if we can persuade him to do it again?
In the meantime, for those of you new to this concept and a bit confused, check out the original (http://forums.questionablecontent.net/viewtopic.php?t=5343) Q.C. mix tape trade.
-
I'm keen as mustard
-
I'm ready and waiting, though I am not sure my music taste is up to the challenge.
-
I'll give it a shot. Who could it hurt anyway?
-
sure, I'm in.
-
OH YEAH IM SO IN!
Also, I still pity the person the receives my mix :D
-
so how are we going to start/organize this thing?
-
Well Mnementh has told me he doesn't want to organise it this time (Boo! Hiss!!) so I guess I'll do it, unless anyone else really, REALLY wants to organise it. Last time around we put a time limit on getting in on it - so shall we say nominations close 48 hours from now? How does that sound?
-
Okay, last time around everyone put together a little fact sheet about themselves, so here goes:
Name: Inlander
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Willing to post to: Anywhere in the world!

If you're in on this, post one of these little fact sheets and I'll try to muddle it all out.

-
Heh. Save your real name for when you pass on your contact details to whoever you end up sending to. For now I just need your username so that I can get a handle on who's involved, and what their details are for when I put together the list.
EDIT: and Patatat, don't you have a C.D. player or a tape deck or something? The most exciting bit is when you get the package in the mail and rip it open! Clicking on the "open email" button just isn't quite the same . . .
-
Yeah, and sometimes you can use Bubblewrap! Which means that if the music sucks, you still get somethign awesome out of it!
-
I'm surprised the RIAA ain't all up in here yet.

-
Name: His mighty Lordship Kharykins (aka KharBevNor)

Can receive: CDs or tapes.
Can make: CDs or maybe tapes if I really like you.
-
I'm surprised the RIAA ain't all up in here yet.
:)
Actually, in the first round there was quite a protracted debate about the legalities of it all. I belive the position we decided to take in the end was "fuck it."

Can receive: CDs and vinyl.
I think the chances of someone cutting a vinyl record for this trade are fairly low, given that a dub-plate is £30-40 minimum. And of course it would only play around 20 times max. I guess you could still live the dream.
Anyway.

That's what my Ben Gibbard-hating friend said when I told him that if he didn't like the first mix I sent I would send another one.
Uh, I mean...
Name: lastclearchance
Location: Stratford, CT, USA
Willing to send to: anywhere
Can receive: CDs or tapes
Can make: CDs or tapes
Note: If I have it in me to make a tape I will probably provide mp3s online or something so that the recipient can have the songs available for whatever. And that would be cool if someone were to make a tape for me and also do that. But that's just preference speaking.

I don't want to make anyone elses job harder, and while its unlikely, shouldn't someone make sure that we don't get paired with the same person? just an Idea.

I'll have the original list handy when I make up the list for this round, so I'll make sure everyone gets a different person.

-
Gosh, you are awfully kind mister ;)
I am going to be hardcore, and only have danish bands in my mix, even if they suck...
-
Awwww... I only just saw this thread, I would have totally been in this time
-
Well, I just saw this thread. Maybe if there is an odd number of participants I can join and even things out?
Otherwise I will just wait patiently for the next time.
-
So, we ready to rumble?
-
I'm still waiting for Keith Decent to get back to me with his details - but I've got the list all ready to go other than that, so if he doesn't get back to me by the end of today (Aussie time) then I'll just press ahead with it. I don't want to hold this thing up forever for the sake of one person.
-
Okay, screw it. Keith Decent hasn't got back to me so let's press ahead! (Keith, if you still want in you can swap mixes with me.) We're doing this the same way we did it before - instead of pairing off, there's a list of names and you send your mix to the person below you on the list. The last person on the list sends a mix to the first person. Got it? Good, then here's the list!
- Skibas_clavicle
- Patatat
- saturnine1979
- Unosuke
- Devastator
- Inlander
- Acclrator
- Mnementh
- nickyandthefuture
- Asturge

- dead.flag.blues
- Mr Putter
So there it is, folks! The list was generated randomly and without bias, so please don't complain about who you got matched with. I guess whoever gets their mix first should start the response thread. And remember kids, this is about giving as well as receiving - so if you get a mix but you don't send one, you're a bastard and nobody likes you. Okay? Okay!
Aaaaaaaaaand . . . MIX!!!
-
Woot. I drew MilkmanDan! He's a major player in the milkman scene.
Also, Tinjessla, I will send you awesome in CD form. No worries.
-
nice reference QHD.
He goes to the pasture throws some cheese into the sky, says "Cow, if I have to die, you will have to die!"
-
I have already made my mix! It is an insanely wonderful compendium of folk metal, folk black, industrofolk, neofolk, alternafolk, medieval and pagan rock.
It will open ears.
-
I already made mine and I just now looked at who I'm sending it to. Azathoth, you're in for one hell of a treat.
-
Oh, now I feel slack. Time to get to work...
-
Just finished mine, Mr Teapot, get yo ass ready!
-
You shall recieve a rockin' mix, Awkward Silence!
Also, Tinjessla, I will send you awesome in CD form. No worries.
Hip hip hooray!
-
HAving me send to Khar is more than a little pointless since we both know each other and he utterly loathes my taste in music. Any chance we coudl switch things without everything getting seriously fucked up?
-
Probably, but not right now because it's 11 o'clock on Sunday night over here and I've been hunched over my computer all weekend re-designing my website, and now my brain is feeling weak and feeble. I'll look into it in the morning after a big long sleep.
-
Thank you kind sir.
-
Well I better get my mix ready...
-
[noob]ok, so I make my mix CD and then I gotta get this guy's address so I can mail it to him >_>?[/noob]
-
SnowMongoose, prepare to be rocked by awesomeness.
-
I have already made my mix! It is an insanely wonderful compendium of folk metal, folk black, industrofolk, neofolk, alternafolk, medieval and pagan rock.
It will open ears.
So I get KharBevNor and I don't even get any metal? What's up with that?
-
You get folk metal and folk black, good deal of it too. I've got Finntroll, Isengard, Bathory, The Lord Wierd Slough Feg...a very awesome bunch indeed.
-
Okay Schmung, I've swapped you and Willis around - now you're sending to Willis, and Willis is sending to Khar (see ammended list).
-
Oh man, the responsibility of sending to Khar.
I feel the pressure to not royally screw up. Lest Khar smack me upside the head with some metal goodness.
~~Willis
-
What pressure? You know there's a 99% chance he's not going to like it!
(Aww Khar, I kid, I kid!)
-
Don't worry, 'twill be ok, as long as you don't make a CD of bland low-fi pop just to annoy me *COUGH COUGH*
-
D'oh!
-
Okay Schmung, I've swapped you and Willis around - now you're sending to Willis, and Willis is sending to Khar (see ammended list).
Which presumably means snowmongoose is sneding to me?
*Awaits PM*
-
Indeed yes, and that also serves to answer the following question:
[noob]ok, so I make my mix CD and then I gotta get this guy's address so I can mail it to him >_>?[/noob]
Attention everybody: the next step is to P.M. whoever you're due to send to, informing them of your postal details. Or if you're in a hurry you can P.M. the person sending to you, whatever works.
-
Why am I not on the list :(
-
FUCK.
Sorry dude, I'll fix that up right away.
EDIT: I've put you after StarlightRecycler - I never liked how the only two New Zealanders ended up one after the other on the list, anyway! You're sending to Mr.Putter. Also, I've bold'd the ammendments to the list, so that you can all see how many times I've screwed it up what's changed.
(Sorry if this screws things up for you, Kat.)
-
Wow, just check this again, I feel so honoured that I was the first one on the list...although it means nothing! YAY!
To Patatat, I recall you are a harsh mistress (and by mistress I mean fellow), and I shall try to make your mix super rockin', that is a promise! Can't wait to get mine! :D
-
Im building up the awesomest cd for the next round. Screw it, I'm probably going to forget until the night before I send it, and its going to be one of those AOL trial discs...
-
I'll be sending mine soon.
Not heard anything from the person sending to me though. Hope there's not a repeat of last time. I want a CD dammit.
-
Man, imagine if you didn't get a CD.
BUT.
You did get herpes.
Man, that'd suck.
-
You can get herpes by mail-order now?
Wow. Progress!
-
A new height for biological warfare ;)
Anyway, I assume there are no restrictions on how many cds you can send, right?
-
Heh. Save your real name for when you pass on your contact details to whoever you end up sending to. For now I just need your username so that I can get a handle on who's involved, and what their details are for when I put together the list.
EDIT: and Patatat, don't you have a C.D. player or a tape deck or something? The most exciting bit is when you get the package in the mail and rip it open! Clicking on the "open email" button just isn't quite the same . . .
I do, but I don't get my mail. My grandparents open it, and if it were something like a tape or cd they'd simply throw it out.
-
I'd ask to participate, but I don't want to make you guys pay international shipping ^_~
-
Well it is a bit late to get involved this time around unfortunately, but there'll be another round without question. I wouldn't worry about international postage too much - we've got people sending mixes from the States to Australia!
-
Man, imagine if you didn't get a CD.
BUT.
You did get herpes.
Man, that'd suck.
Granted, that would be something of an achievement.
I'm just worried that some people have signed up without fully realising that it will require effort and a little bit of money and that said people have now decided to back out, but ahven't bothered telling anyone. That sort of thing is always deeply irksome and sadly rather common on t'internet where politeness is not something that exists in any meaningful ammount.
-
I hate to do this to you Inlander, but... there's a small flaw in the list. The distinct lack of me.
-
FUCK.
FUCK.
FUCK.
It's all right, I'm okay, everything's under control.
It just so happens that Keith Decent got back to me the other day, after I posted the list. I'll send to him, and he can send to you. I'll P.M. him to let him know.
To everyone else: if you don't get a mix for some reason that's related to me stuffing things up, I will personally send you a copy of my mix. Guaranteed.
-
Right. I am just putting the finishing touches to my CD. It shall be sent in a small, perfectly jewel-case sized padded envelope, accompanied by a floppy disc containing track-listings, liner notes and lyrics.
-
Right, mine is sent off. First class. Which means it should get there 'tomorrow' (Royal Mail code for 'Friday').
I'll make the response thread now, as others may have sent theres off, earlier, by more reliable local mail services.
-
if you need more, i'm here, but i can wait till next time
-
Posted mine this morning, First class.
DING
-
Okay, screw it. Keith Decent hasn't got back to me so let's press ahead! (Keith, if you still want in you can swap mixes with me.) We're doing this the same way we did it before - instead of pairing off, there's a list of names and you send your mix to the person below you on the list.

Aaaaaaaaaand . . . MIX!!!
Sorry about that guys, super computer meltdown.
I'll still trade with you, Inlander. I'll PM you my info I guess.
-
You still need to let me know who I'm sending to Inlander.
-
i think we're on the next one, bud
-
I think I'm in this one, since he says someone's going to send to me and I was in before the deadline. I'm just unsure who I post to, and I'd feel well cheeky getting a mix and not sending one out.
-
but you're not on the list... i thought everyone was to send to whoever was below them...
-
That's because I'm a gumby.
-
Hum I guess i missed my chance for a mix {place media here}
Maybe next time round..
