IT'S TIME TO FAIL AGAIN GUYS!

Hey, I sent mine. Why dont we do a wacky modern day version where we can upload compilations to somewhere or something. These things always fall down when people realise they have to get up of their collective fat ass and actually leave the house to go to the post office.

we could do that. the one downside is it takes away all the fun of packaging and what not, but that's not such a big deal.

if people actually WANT to do this then that'll definitely be an option!

i only want to do it if it means i don't have to do anything :D

just kidding. i'll do it.

i think i still have miss modular's cd from one of these things floating around my house somewhere.

i don't download much music, but maybe if chojin and i counted as one entity cause we live together i can participate

Black Flag
Jan 31st, 2006, 04:32 PM
ok so far we got:

MLE/Chojin
Rongi
sadie
glowbelly
iron mitchell
Dole
Me


the way i see it we can do it three ways:

1. the way it's been done before, although it's proven to be hard for everyone to keep up on for whatever reason

2. electronically like Dole had suggested. this is nice because it's so convenient, but you do miss out on the packaging and fun of getting something not shitty in the mail

3. have everyone burn their mix as many times as there are people participating, then send them to me for redistribution. this one is nice because only people who actually send will get anything, plus once you get a mix you can keep it and not worry about sending it along again. the shipping costs would probably suck for me but i'm willing to deal with that or if everybody would like to find a way to chip in for shipping that'd be cool too.

Dole
Jan 31st, 2006, 05:22 PM
3rd one sounds good. we could paypal you postage money or summat if you have it.

Chojin
Jan 31st, 2006, 05:23 PM
Yeah the 3rd one is a good idea!

Ninjavenom
Jan 31st, 2006, 08:17 PM

3rd one

Rongi
Jan 31st, 2006, 10:16 PM
with the 3rd one do we mail the mixes or send them to you electronically?

Black Flag
Jan 31st, 2006, 11:49 PM
mail them to me so you can fancy them up however you'd like

iron mitchell
Feb 1st, 2006, 04:56 PM
i'm fine with this idea, because it will help prevent all of you fuckers from stalking me and watching me practice sex on my hand.
are we actually doing cassettes or cdr's?
also, are multiple tapes/cdr's/both allowed?

Dole
Feb 1st, 2006, 05:20 PM
cds, please. And if we have to make a copy for every person, just a single cd surely...

you're OFFICIALLY the last, though.

and it's good you joined since glowbelly's participation has been downgraded to a "maybe"

iron mitchell
Feb 3rd, 2006, 03:50 PM
when is the deadline to have the mixes in your hands, b-flag?
if it's soon, then i'll go ahead and start working on mine tomorrow because i totally rule at bowing out of things like this if i don't run ahead of schedule.
also, what method are you using to ship 'em because mine might be a little bigger than your typical cd/jewel-case and i want to make sure you're not out any cash on my account... if anything, i could always just send you excess money and you could refund me any that's left over, provided paypal is possible on your behalf.
this should be a private message, but i don't much care for those.

Black Flag
Feb 3rd, 2006, 04:11 PM
i've been aiming to make the deadline a week from when i get everybody bodies emails...which is hopefully soon

paypal works if you wanna do that i'll send an email out to everyone talking about that

Feb 4th, 2006, 01:21 PM
Aw, I wanted to join. What is a tape tree?

Dole
Feb 4th, 2006, 02:06 PM
One C60 cassette is circulated within the group - the object is to fit as many songs on the tape as possible, before sending it on to the second person.
The second person has to manually remove 2 minutes of the tape (the actual, physical tape itself) but re-dub the same track list on to the tape - removing only those parts of each song that are considered superfluous, and do not compromise any of the main, most memorable significant parts or themes of each song.

Once this is done, its passed onto the next person, and they then remove another two minutes, and so on and so on. The tape originally ends up with the person who created it, and they have to judge whether this highly edited version has compromised the spirit of any of the songs in their now highly-edited form.

If they judge it to be a success, ANOTHER, new compilation is started, circulated and gradually edited. The object is to ultimately fit as many entire compilations on to one cassette as possible. On the last one, we managed to fit 14 edited, 30-ish song compilations onto ONE C60 tape- it has to be heard to be believed, its fucking amazing.

Ihach
Feb 7th, 2006, 02:24 PM

i've been sick, but i did get around to picking out a bunch of songs for it. to be honest, it's probably going to end up being 2 cdr's, but i'll package it in a manner that won't be much, if any, more costly than just sending a jewel case.
if all goes as planned i'll have the track order figured out tomorrow and then will take care of packaging on saturday and sunday.
i hope my mix makes everyone who hears it as miserable as me.

bummer alert!
the limp-wrists at the post office wouldn't let me send my package yesterday evening after they opened it up (because it looks suspicious) and found everyone's individual packages housed in black 'n silver chicken wire... so i'm rushing to make some boxes for everyone's individual packages. i'm 99% certain i can finish them before i have to go to work tonight. just a cut 'n fold job. nothing fancy this go-'round. i'll organize a cassette tape tree sometime, if y'all want and i'll try to make up for semi-lackluster packaging. i'd just drive to the next post office or something, but that's almost an hour away because i'm HARDCORE COUNTRY, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

edit: and i just realized i made 10 copies of everything! why can i run my own record label with ease, but this little tape-tree rips me a new one? i've sent boxes of bagged fake blood as packaging for cdr's, tape boxes designed to cut the opener, fake snuff tapes, and rotten food over the mail and some sissy-ass chicken wire gets me?! I-MOCKERY IS CURSEEEDDDD!!!

ok everyone i'm sorry they haven't been mailed out yet!

i've sorted everything out and have had it all ready to go for over a week but as soon as i got everyone's stuff i lost virtually all modes of transportation and haven't been able to get anywhere but class and work.

i'm determined to have them sent come tomorrow or friday come hell or high water, even if i have to go on a 10 mile hike to send them!

i apologize for the delay!

i got starburst too!!!
:love

goddamn, mitchell, that is some fucking way to package a CD. much love. i feel extra dumb.
ihach, any mix that starts with mogwai is a good sign, can't wait to hear it.
black flag, kudos. i havent heard of anyone on there. that's new because i have at least a couple of iron mitch's bands sussed out (panda bear!). oh, no wait... i know jesu... ha!
dole, hilarious cover. the last one better not be babies screaming >:
glow! at least half of that mix is going to be six kinds of awesome! :eek

anyway i'll listen to all of these this week and come back periodically to spout some crap about them.

as a former gal pal of dole's, i will tell you all now that you are in for a treat. i was blessed with many of his mixes whilst we were ya know ;) and i still listen to them.

i'm excited to hear everyone's! i got them today and i :love mitchell's packaging, soooo pretty. i had to hide all the shit from my son cause he was alll WHEEEEE SPRAY PAINTED STUFF TO PUT IN MY MOUTH :eek!! and i gave cub a teensy taste of starburst and now i'm afraid he'll never eat real fruit again.

i took rez's and dole's in the car with me today. i went eenie meenie miney moe and those were the two that were picked. it's going to take me awhile to get through all of this music.

HOORAY. :D

yeah dole, your mix is odd.
like, 1 in the morning listening to AM radio odd.
but then again, if i heard that on AM radio at 1 am i'd be pretty stoked.

so i liked it. :)

and yeah, i, along with everyone else who will hear it, will patiently wait for you to explain yourself about that mystery song.

things have been uber-hectic for me. i'm moving back to my hometown in two weeks and i'm trying to get a bunch of music i've recorded and have been sitting on forever released before i have to get to packing.
so far i've only listened to about 3/4 of dole's mix (the tracklisting insisted it would be good driving music), but i'll try and give everyone else's mix a listen soon, even if it means having to take a cd-player outside while i work on the releases (my stereo's big so that isn't as easy as it sounds).

One C60 cassette is circulated within the group - the object is to fit as many songs on the tape as possible, before sending it on to the second person.
The second person has to manually remove 2 minutes of the tape (the actual, physical tape itself) but re-dub the same track list on to the tape - removing only those parts of each song that are considered superfluous, and do not compromise any of the main, most memorable significant parts or themes of each song.

Once this is done, its passed onto the next person, and they then remove another two minutes, and so on and so on. The tape originally ends up with the person who created it, and they have to judge whether this highly edited version has compromised the spirit of any of the songs in their now highly-edited form.

If they judge it to be a success, ANOTHER, new compilation is started, circulated and gradually edited. The object is to ultimately fit as many entire compilations on to one cassette as possible. On the last one, we managed to fit 14 edited, 30-ish song compilations onto ONE C60 tape- it has to be heard to be believed, its fucking amazing.

I unfortunately wasn't checking the boards much when this tape tree started, or else I would have joined, but I just wanted to say that I read this post of Dole's just now and it made me laugh my fucking ass off.

finals week is over and a little time without a ton of work so i finally got a chance to listen to mixes a bit!

opinions so far!:

ihach - first mix i listened to! pretty good but i definitely couldn't listen to it if i was tired at all! also it was more familiar than most the other mixes because of the mogwai, beach boys, and echo & the bunnymen

dole - man oh man i love your mix. i ripped it and put it on my ipod so i could listen to it at work. although now i gotta be really careful that when i have it plugged into the speakers on random that a certain track doesn't pop up. the frank zappa burt ward stuff is awesome.

glowbelly - there was a point towards the beginning of the middle of the mix where i was all "this is such a glowbelly mix" but it wasn't as predictable as i'd expected after that. i'm in love with that 3 little fishies song.

rez - me and my girlfriend listened to your mix while getting all the stuff together to mail. unfortunately i've misplaced it since than and haven't gotten a chance to listen to it again. it was pretty fun when i listened to it BUT funny story, while i was listening to it on my computer i had some pop up on my computer that periodically made this car beeping noise and i didn't notice it. so i just though you somehow super-imposed this car horn noise every so often in your mix and thought "man his mix is good except this super annoying honk, god why'd he do that?" then after the mix ended and the noise continued i immediately felt stupid.

iron mitchell - i'm listening to your mixes as i type this so i'll talk about it later. i'm sure i'll absolutely love it. UPDATE!: I listened to your mix with 18 tracks and theres a ton of good stuff on there. I've already listened to shallow breath like 10 times.

Dole
