I finished up my cover art today. I'm pleased with it.

We should all send scans of the cover art from the cassette we recieve. Or at least, include a review of it.

Mailing tomorrow.

Does a track listing count as cover art? You can have typed and printed, or hand written.

Hm....oh no. I was under the impression we weren't inculding a track list.

Should I write one up?

I don't know. Maybe I'll attempt some covert art instead. That might be nice.

I don't really have room for a track list. Maybe I'll just include the track list on a sheet of paper. Or I don't know.

Where's Pookie? We need a ruling. I'm kind of in favour of no track list - the sender could maybe recognise his or her mixtape from the review, and then reveal what it was in response.

I don't think there are any rules to this particularly. Include a track listing if you want to, do artwork if you want to. Don't do either if you want to be really mysterious.

I like this idea better. Also, you can't look ahead on the tape, and see a band/song you already know and like/dislike and skip it. It forces you to hear the whole thing. Something like that...

It should be revealed whose tape it is, after it is reviewed. Should be easy for us to recognize.

On a personal level, I'll prefer not to know what the tracks are before I listen. Preconceptions can be a killer with music I find. But if there is a track list, I'll just ignore it.

Unless people want a ruling one way or the other. We can decide democratically. Hey, why don't I start a pole? I've never done one of those before!!!

Some of my tracks may give it away. And thats a hint!

It would also be interesting whilst listening to try and guess whose tape it is that you've got.

I'm always in favour of a poll!

I think you can click 'edit' on yr first post in this thread and add one by using the 'advanced' option.

But a new thread devoted to the issue would be cool too

On second thoughts, who can be bothered?

NO TRACK LIST, it'll be more fun.

OK, you persuaded me!

Hurrah!

Right, I think guessing will be part of the fun.

I didn't include a track list in mine. Bummer. If we have to though, could you write one up when you recieve it, Pookie?

i would, but i don't have a fucking tape recorder.
i can send you guys anything else you want that will fit in an envelope.

im down to swap mix cds, no tape player here

How's about you starting a mix cd's swap? I'm sure there would be enough people willing to take part, including many who are taking part in the mix tape swap. I think to mix the two might be a bit confusing, mainly for me as the person coordinating! :confused:

I'm about 6 songs into my mix tape and it already fucking owns. Will post first thing in the mornin'.

I might run out to Wal Mart to buy a tape recorder or something to make some tapes for you all.

Who all is sending a tape?

Myself
Hip Priest
Glice
Hayden
Danny Himself
Golden Child
Acousticrock
gmku
That green haired gal...possibly.

And? Just for reference.

i want to paricipate but i dont know if i can pull it off in time.
when are you all planning to ship em out?

I would like to see Porkie and T&B added to that list, because I imagine both would produce a grand tape.

Mine's finished now. It's still fucking ace.

Ohhhhh I was just in Walgreens and I saw one of those ones for little kids with a microphone on it for $10.00 and I DIDN'T BUY IT. (tape recorder)

Why the fuck were you in Walgreens?

Buying hair color. What kind of question is that?

Orange?

Oh no they don't sell that at Walgreens. Burgundy, but I'm doing my hair back bright red before then because I have shitloads of that stuff here.

We're aiming for tapes to be done & sent to me by end of July. I'll pm you the details in case you want to take part.

Just pm me when you've sent the tape.

My tape is terrible. I have a thing for Jewel and share little or no similarities in music taste with you people. HAVE FUN WITH IT!

we should do this again at christmas, i might have a tape machine by then.
how much does it cost to ship from USA to angurlund?
