Let's get Swap #7 rolling.

As special incentive, whoever gets a CD from me this time around will get an added bonus Holiday Music CD!!!

And, I may also throw in the cheesy jazz CD vado and I got at the Delta faucet event we both attended - "Urban Sounds for Urban Faucets" or something like that. But I may save that for Swap #9.

LB, Vado...Since I haven't heard from Quix, would you guys be interested in my Covers mix?

send it on over!!!

me too, aquino!

i'm up for 'soul crush'. or anything. 'cheez doodles' would be fine.

i want to get back in the mix. (ba-bap-bum-bash)
i sent out a mix a few swaps back; i don't remember where i sent it.

yes, i'm digging the 'soul crush' and i just mis-typed 'soul curse' which could be interesting too.

i also thought that some critical regionalism could be cool.....
old philly soul; detroit rock'n'soul; dirty south blues+bass; sf psychedelic funk; ny noise+new wave; Or just your current local scene.

i want in on the next round!

VR - methinks my mailbox was expecting some bumping from you.

aquino, send your covers mix to me - you have my address, right? - and I'll take care of Midwest distribution.

So: soul crush?

wow, i was driving today and popped steven's mix with the raul malo [sp?] songs, and i thought... when's that next cdswap going to be?

then i had a very nice class with my 2nd year students, very relaxed... they are all drawing highway overpasses because we're having them design stuff under them, and since i had my brand new 2 megabite pendrive, and we were listening to music, i had them give me a ton of mp3s... we'll see what these kids are listening nowadays [surprisingly, some of the music was what i heard when i was a kid.. it is now retro]

[hello cd swap!]

er.. that means i'm also in

so we have:

liberty bell
steven
theaquino
bronson
stephanie
aml
vado?
n_?

anyone else?

yea me! please!!

I realized I screwed up; vado's theme suggestion was "Soul Harvest" not crush. I think he and I must have been talking about the soul-crushing task of layer managmenet and I conflated the two discussions.

So, Soul Harvest.

soul harvest? 'soul crush' suggested break-up songs. 'soul harvest' suggests the grim reaper. creepy.

ok. cool.

gotcha architecnophilia! i'll update the list after a few more have the chance to respond.

I think I may sit it out this round. I need to get my life together and focus on my portfolio and the never-ending freelance work.

So, last week I purged my desk of many sheets and other assorted detritus and lost the envelopes with addresses on them. So if you could email me your address if you want my cover mix. Sorry.

I like the 'soul crush' idea. I also really like the locale/regionalism idea a lot as well.

I too will be including a holiday mix as well.

wha's the theme going to be dudes? i can do my mix this weekend, but if i don't do it this weekend i won't be able to get it together till december...yikes!

i like the regional idea. and i like the soul/harvest/crush...

i think it's come around to soul harvest - to be interpreted how you like. i'll give a little more time for some 'me toos' before i make a swap list.

liberty bell
steven
theaquino
bronson
stephanie
aml
vado? (yeah, he'll do it.)
architechnophilia


is this all? are we all in? shall i make the list?

ok people. get ready for sooooooouuuuuuul harvest.

here's the list. i don't think there are any repeats.

lb > architechnophilia
architechnophilia > vado
vado > bronson
bronson > aml
aml > aquino
aquino > steven
steven > stephanie
stephanie > lb

ready - set - GO!!!

Woohoo!!! Mine is - shocker - already almost done. You see, I'm kinda cheating - I have a 19 disc set of Time Life Solid Gold Soul....

techno, should I send it to your "new house"? (Did you buy it yet?)

yay!

stephanie - i know i sent you copies of a previous swap once before but i don't remember which one(s). will you please let me know which so that i don't repeat anything this time around?

Sweet, just sent the "Covers" out...

Vado...I need your address

steven, did you get my e-mail?
is the theme "soul harvest?"
sorry i am so confused and late on the game.

stephanie - yes and yes!

just sent my latest installment to stephanie. i cheated a little.

because i wanted to do local music, her discs are 'local harvest' instead of 'soul harvest'. i'll go ahead and post the list soon. it's not like i'll be giving anything away because very few of these artists are known more than 100 miles from here. ya'll might know a couple...

i also sent mine to theaquino, he should have it by now... then realized he should be a bit confused, since i decided to follow a previous suggestion by steven and did soul harvest as in songs to do with death. but a lot of songs are in spanish, so that might not have been all that clear. should be a peppy cd nonetheless.

this is what i sent to stephanie. she should have it by monday or so.

I am having a cd swap day. Listening to AML's right now as i would rather be in South America than Indiana.

Has it really been 2.5 years since the last CD swap? Anyone want to get one going?

could be fun to resuscitate it...

yes, i want in! i haven't participated in a tape swap (well, i guess, CD swap), in ages. need exposure to new music, seem sort of stuck (musically) and love sharing, too...

anyone else still listen to cassettes? i'm open to going the cassette route, too....

I would love to be a part of this.

i don't even have anything that'll play a cassette anymore...

i recently dug my cassette deck out from my parents' basement, where it had been living for the past eight years. still works great and also got some excellent sortofadditions to my music collection, including great mixtapes from my high school best friend, and choice shows from my first 2 years being a college radio dj. i would love to be able to contribute a lot of the stuff i'm listening to now (all these old tapes), but i haven't gotten around to converting them to digital AND a bunch of stuff is out of print so i really don't have any other way to share it.

i guess i'd settle for cd if i had to. as long as it's something tangible, and it comes in the mail!

yea I need to pay it forward. I got a cd from LB/DS and need to share the love

count me in too. been accumulating a bunch of great music i want to share

okay, who's gonna be in charge of this thing?

besides me.

Since it was my idea to get this going again, I'll set up the to/from list. Anybody have ideas? Summer? Layoffs? Malaise? Un/Natural Disasters? Amateur Terrorist soundtrack? Once we get a genre, I'll set the dealine for participation.

when we started this thing a few years ago the first one was just 'soundtrack of my life right now' sort of thing. my own compilation from then is actually still one of my favorite ever mixes.

malaise could generate some cool music, but is likely to be pretty mellow. suggestion of non-energy ... don't know if i'd listen to that much.

i like un/natural disasters. it could certainly make the job harder. but hell, i like challenges.

I like the "snap shot of my life right now" idea.

CD Swap Genre: My Life Right Now

Deadline for entry: end of business (PST) June 11. I'll publish the to/from list the following Monday morning.

I'm excited to see where you guys are and what you're listening to.

I'm in!

in!

Do I need to say in again too? If so, consider this that.

yes please

Gosh. A favourite thread brings me back to the 'nect. Plus one please.

so should we have our mixes ready by the 11th?

i think all potential participants should speak up by the 11th so that THEaquino can compile a swap list...

I'd like to have the participants on the list by the 11th so that I can have the to/from list posted Monday, morning, when you guys have your CD's ready and sent out is up to you.

When I read the thread title "Construction Drawing" swap was the first thing that came to mind. hahahaha
