    hoho!

    create a mix tape. pick some tracks or make some tracks, stick them on something - cd / dvd / usb thumbdrive. package the 'product', include a playlist etc. send to someone.

    package = wrap in paper, design a jewel case insert, sew a bag, utilise some other container not originally meant for the media which you are enclosing within.

    not really :( though, the 'hoho' bit was because i don't quite understand what you didn't 'get' about it.

    but the "package = ..." was serious. i wanted to try and not limit what form the packaging may take. like i said previously, that is what i see this as an exercise in, rather than being simply a music compilation thing. ya dig? :D

    i'm looking forward to finding out who my .... lucky partner... is. ;)

    i won't know what music i will mixtape for them until i do, and can't go very far with the packaging plan until i know what music's gonna be on it.

    'course, there's always the potluck mix, where you take the un-named and un-nameable tunes in your music library, put them on shuffle, and record the first 30 minutes or so. it's a very illuminating exercise. heh

    i'll take a guess and think you meant "post" as in "snail mail", yes? (some trepidation.. my lingo guesses are often off the mark.)

    if it were today, i'd not be able to. i remain hopeful, and will come through one way or another. :)

    it's all good, yes?

    I guess mainly its point 5: ????? that I felt a bit unclear about, but it must be cos im spanish and sometimes I miss the beautiful subtleties of the english language.

    Anyway, Im extremely busy at the min with work and I don't want to do a Nimnot (no offense nim) :) on this one so I guess I'm going to bail out on this one, sorry

    sorry to hear it, shock.... :) i bet your mix would have been awesome.

    chris said...really? weird...


    tell me what you mean?

    nicko's brief:

    1 f'luckers get paired somehow
    2 Make mix CD
    3 Produce cover art
    4 Send to paired f'lucker
    5 ???
    6 Profit!



    i am waiting to get paired with someone so i can choose music that seems right for them. what if i did use klezmer music and meska ended up with it? he'd listen once out of politeness. someone mentioned posting lastFM profiles to help the makers.

    cover art reflects the music contained, so i can't very well start that without the music.

    Mick, i wouldn't worry, make a mix with love: for what it's worth, i'm looking forward to listening to the music that you guys listen to - i collect genres not applicable to most here, so it's interesting to hear what's out there.

    i would have thought that it would be better to receive something which you may not normally listen to, than something you might already have.

    i was going by the stated outline for this project.

    gee, you guys, i have a LOT of different kinds of music.. everything from show tunes from the 1950's to mouth harp concerts to crunk. shape-note chorus for croatian tone poems, anyone?

    love is part of everything i do here, my friends. (even when exhausted and cranky, it's still with love.) :)

    OK, sorry I've been a bit AWOL from this thread for a few days.

    Here are the random pairings:

    Paired f'luckers
    zetoskid shockthealien
    redneckinexile CPU
    pj peak
    sunk meska
    harkjohnny orson
    base squapple

    websnap rbernato
    skribbles chris
    elliott-20 nicko


    Go do your thing. Shall I suggest 1 June 2009 as the deadline for sending out (using the postal service, y'know... with stamps on and stuff).

    Take a photie of what you're sending but DON'T post the picture on FL until you're sure the person you have sent your mix to has received it.

    I leave it up to you to obtain the address of your paired user by the power of whispers.

    First post in thread also updated

    Just beginning to put down some tracks but it is proving a lot trickier than I first thought.

    flak, don't be holding your breath now, ok? i've mentally discarded some of the more exotic music in my selection, but haven't started to stitch things together yet.
