Ah good. I've always wondered, what are the dimensions for a tape cover?

Glice 11.19.2006 06:31 PM

4 and a bit inches by 2 and half or so inches.

Danny Himself 11.19.2006 06:37 PM

I always found it hard to print covers out without them being automatically cropped and resized somehow.

PAULYBEE2656 11.20.2006 08:15 AM

i just guess the size on a word document . half the width of a cd cover and slightly shorter.............

prittstick is yr best friend tho...
my tape is winging its way to merseyside right now......

i know i'm no veteran on these forums but i'll do one all the same. there's a bit of tape love for everyone (so open yr analogue heart!!!!)
what sort of stuff is everyone putting on theirs? not sure if i should go for a noise explosion tape or for a more subdued type theme.
do we get to choose who they are for, or is it all upto danny himself?

Danny Himself 11.20.2006 11:03 AM

It's up to me, but I'll see that each person gets a tape that suits them, but opens them up to new things.

In reply to racehorse:

Inaugural Mix Tapes thread Mix Tapes Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Poll on Mix Tapes

So you can get an idea. It occurs to me that including 3 & 4 is pretty pointless as, so far as I know, these rounds haven't arrived yet. I can't remember if there are any reviews in those threads, but you can probably get an idea of the sort of thing that people are doing.

hey racehorse. put what the fuck you want on em. isnt that the whole point?
mixtape making is a totally selfish excercise. "this is the music i like, now you listen to it and deal with it...here it is packaged up with a ribbon on it, go on listen!!!"... yknow what im saying...................

Danny Himself 11.20.2006 03:55 PM

Rock the fuck on. And thanks, Glice.

I was thinking of piling on cheesy christmas songs this month, but I decided not to.

I'm doing it this evening. I've got a stereo on loan at the moment, which means I can do an all-vinyl mix-tape, the previous ones being largely recorded from CDs or tapes. So that's something for someone to look forward to.

Danny Himself 11.20.2006 06:09 PM

Ah, yes. I was doing mine earlier and was surprised to find myself putting John Fogerty on it.

My dad played Fogerty's album Centerfield non-stop when I was a kid

My mixtape is, officially, finished. It's brilliant, and entirely vinyl. Whoever recieves it is either going to cherish it with all of their heart or hate it for all eternity. I'm quite pleased with the artwork as well.

Danny Himself 11.21.2006 05:54 PM

Lovely!

Well, come on, get it send off.

Glice 11.21.2006 06:00 PM

At five-to-eleven at night?

Danny Himself 11.21.2006 06:01 PM

Well, fine, get in the second-hand Astra and deliver it to me personally.

Danny Himself 11.23.2006 10:55 AM

I recieved your tape today, Paulybee. Very nice!
