I'm off work tomorrow, so I guaran-damn-tee that I'll do it then. I'll either post tomorrow afternoon or Thursday morning.

Danny Himself 07.25.2006 02:54 PM

Oh cool, you recieved mine. I was scared I'd mailed it wrong somehow.

gmku 07.25.2006 03:02 PM

Have mine ready to go, cover art, 2 bucks, and all. Will send tomorrow.

k-krack 07.25.2006 03:03 PM

i would want to take part, but i haven't gotten any blank cds.... will there be more of these happening in the future? (also, are cds allowed??)

Glice 07.25.2006 03:07 PM

CDs are covered by another thread. Strictly tapes only in this baby.

k-krack 07.25.2006 03:11 PM

ahh... sorry to be unlearned to these ways, but how do you make a mixtape aha?

Danny Himself 07.25.2006 03:13 PM

Take a blank tape and put various sounds on it.

No worries dude. I'm just amazed... and worried that I'm getting old. I didn't take any offence or intend any towards yourself.

You there! Older boarders... how do I deal with this feeling? It's weird and I want it to go away.

Toilet & Bowels 07.25.2006 04:06 PM

if you don't know how to make a mixtape you are too young

Hip Priest 07.26.2006 08:34 AM

I'm just over halfway through making mine, and I'm still uncertain as to whether or not I will include a tracklist with the cassette.

It's sounding cool, even if one piece of vinyl does sound especially scratchy. But that's part of the fun too.

Pookie 07.26.2006 08:39 AM

Mines done. I need to make a copy for me to keep now because I'm enjoying it so much. Then it's just some "artwork".

Same with me for the tracklist. I like Haydenasche's idea of a tracklist but written alphabetically, or maybe just list the titles and not the artists.

Oh, it's so complicated.

Hip Priest 07.26.2006 08:43 AM

The whole concept is out of control. You've created a monster.

Danny Himself 07.26.2006 08:45 AM

Have you sneaked a listen to mine, Pookie?

I know how disappointed in me you are. :[

No! It would be an abuse of the position of trust I've been given.

Seriously though, I really want to listen to each one I get, but I think it would be wrong somehow.

They both LOOK good though and neither has a tracklist.

Oh, go on. There have to be some perks in being co-ordinator.

sonicl 07.26.2006 08:56 AM

I'm ready to start on another one. When does round two start?

That depends when I get all of these. I'll send them out when I return from holiday (5th August) if they've all arrived by then. Then we can start again!

How about an update from everybody on how close they are to finishing?

But what about the mixminidisc generation then?Such beings exist too(me being one and all that)

sonicl 07.26.2006 09:10 AM

You can set up a swapping circle with yourself.

Record one and put it somewhere not very sensible, then it'll come to light in a year or so when you've forgotten about it, and it'll be like someone has sent you a mixminidisc.

gmku 07.26.2006 09:12 AM

Soon. Depends on how soon I can make it to the P.O. By the latest, I'll send mine this Friday. It's done, complete with artwork and a tracklist (which won't be part of the cassette artwork, and which I'll type up on another sheet).

It was a lot of fun. The difficult thing for me making any mix tape is all the second guessing I do. I should have done this, forgot to include this, maybe this doesn't really go with this. But in the end, I trust my first instincts will be right and somebody will get some enjoyment out of it.

There is a small and rarely visible community of people who made up the core of the mixminidisc generation.They operated mainly in the mid-nineties and they are still single at the time of posting.

wow, I totally forgot about the minidisc. That came and went at about the same velocity as the Dreamcast...

Hip Priest 07.26.2006 09:26 AM

I've finished recording. I decided not to include anything that the reciever had a strong chance of having already heard. Will post first thing in the morning.

Pookie 07.26.2006 09:31 AM

Just a reminder that I'm away from Saturday for a week. So if you want to take part, you need to pm me for the details by Friday at the latest.

Glice 07.26.2006 01:27 PM

Mine was finally posted today at 5:10pm. I sent it second class, so with luck it'll be with you on Friday. I included a tracklisting, and some artwork, and a short note, and £2. These are all the informations I am going to impart for now.

Are Porkie and T&B playing yet? Go on lads, go on go on go on.

porkmarras 07.26.2006 01:30 PM

I so mean to because i love doing mixtapes but i need to get some blanc tapes first.I will join for sure because my mixtapes change your life.They really do,i swear.

Hip Priest 07.27.2006 04:07 AM

I've posted mine, a few minutes ago.

I listened to it last night, and it's rather good.

porkmarras 07.27.2006 04:11 AM

How are you meant to join?I don't have the time to read the whole thread right now so could someone explain please?I've started one last night,is it too late?

Cantankerous 07.27.2006 04:12 AM

It's no coincidence that I started this thing and then booked my holiday.

haha.There are worse ways of making money than on mixtapes.

Pookie 07.27.2006 04:30 AM

I can't find the post explaining how the postage works, but the money is to cover the cost of posting the tape on. I also can't be bothered to explain how I came up with the figures, just use a bit of trust people.

sonicl 07.27.2006 04:34 AM

The first thing I can remember my mother saying to me in my pram is "Never trust a man who calls himself Pookie".
