It's really Part 3, if you consider RParis74's YSI mix a few weeks ago, but this is more of the "CD in the Mail" type of exchange, like the one BillyG organized earlier this year.
If you're interested...
1. Unlike last time,
this mix will have a theme.
OFFICIAL: MIX EXCHANGE THEME
"I was just thinking it'd be kinda cool to compile a mix of songs that completely define you as an individual, whether they be old or new songs. You know, taking specific artists or specific songs that shaped your current view/taste in music today. I think it's kinda open to interpretation on how people want to communicate that."
2. People don't have to mail out so many CDs this time,
we'll separate into more than one group. This would also make it a lot easier to write reviews. I'll randomly pick the groups at a later time.
3. Reviews:
all mixes must be reviewed. Several mixes from Part 1 were not reviewed so we'd like to avoid this if we can. If we separate into more than one group, people won't feel so overwhelmed to write so many reviews.
4.
Mixes will not be sent all at the same time. Every week, a different Obner member will mail out his or her mix, giving everyone else an opportunity to listen to the mix for a full week before getting another mix.
I will come up with a schedule to let everyone know when to send their mix. I think this will also give everyone's mix a chance to be given enough attention. This means, the exchange will continue until the end of the year, but for those who don't have to mail their mix out until three months from now, just remember, that you'll be receiving mixes in the mail every week to keep you busy.
5. Deadline to join is
Friday, September 29.
So if this sounds like something you'd like to try,
E-mail me your full name and address. I will put together a spreadsheet of addresses and E-mail it to everyone who'll be receiving a mix from you. I will also keep you updated on whose mix will be sent out that particular week.
