RECAP: September 25, 2006
We're into the second week of the join in process so I thought we'd recap.
1.
We've established a theme. I know some people believe that we can do better, but it's a fine theme that won't be too restrictive when making your mix. Like Dana said, you can communicate the theme however you'd like.
REMINDER: "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.
There will be more than one group. Currently, going by the amount of people who joined, it looks like there'll be 3 or 4 groups of anywhere from 6 to 8 people each.
3.
Reviews will be a huge part of this mix exchange. Please don't let this discourage you from joining the exchange. Reviews can be anything from a song by song review to a small paragraph of what you thought of the mix. The reason for this is to add to the enjoyment of the mix process by getting feedback for your work. Bad or good, people generally like to get feedback for a project they've worked on.
4. The mailing process will be a bit different than usual.
Mixes will not be sent at the same time. I will come up with a schedule of dates when your mixes should go out. Basically, each member will get a designated mail date. After they hopefully mail out their mix on time, the other members of the group will receive the mix, and have at least one or two weeks to listen to it and write a review. Hopefully, once reviews are in, the next member will be instructed to mail out their mix, and so on.
5.
Deadline for joining is 5:00 PM Eastern Time Friday (Sept 29).
Once again, if this sounds like something you'd like to try,
E-mail me your full name and address (DO NOT PM ME). 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.
