That I can do. I just didn't have much time to discover much new this year beyond the stuff that everyone heard (Japandroids, Dirty Projectors, Merriweather, etc.)

What would be great though would be if we could match up to someone else. Then do like a request style mix. Like say I pulled Shmoo, and he would say "I need a mix for a Sunday morning when I'm sitting around" or "I need a mix for a 30 gym session". It would be interesting to make a particular mix for someone on a specific goal.

I like that idea.

I'm going to pair people up later today, so if anyone else is interested they should say so soon. Also I think it would be best to leave it up to individuals to decide if they want to have a theme or not.

That's no fun. There should be a theme. Plus, it will be cool when we eventually post up the mixes to see the themes. Why be boring?

I'm picking my own theme.

My argument is that I can make a mix anytime I want. If someone challenges me with a specific theme, then that makes it interesting.

How interesting will it be when you get K as your partner and he requests a mix of drones?

How likely would it be that k would actually do that?

Who here is gonna be all "Make me a mix of the stuff I already listen to and know more about than you do?"

Actually, that might be an interesting idea. Like if Dale asked me to make a black metal mix or something.

Very, actually. Thats something we share an interest in. And I think you both probably know how to use the private msging so that you can kinda hash out what is possible. Plus, I doubt K would be that much of a stickler to only accept a mix that is in an genre he likes.

Like I mentioned before, it can be broad like "music for my commute". I guess I don't understand yr apprehension towards it. Anytime someone can pop up a mix and say "here you go" what's the sense in making a mix for someone if it isn't going to be personal anyway? I would imagine if you pulled K, for instance, you would want to kinda gear a mix towards him.

Ah dude, give me some credit, I wouldn't request that, and it's not like that's all I listen to. However, if I get paired up with you now, you will receive a mix of the career of Makato Kawabata 1979-2009, thirty years of japanoise just for you my friend Prepare to enjoy.

Fine. I'll ask whomever I get, what sort of mix he/she wants.

i'm in if themes are used.

Haha...I would still listen to it. I don't have a problem with that.

How about we do 'set the scene' scenarios? For example we can PM our partners a scenario such as "A cafe in Paris" or "A beach in Costa Rica" etc.

stop being a little baby dude.

good call. Too late to get my name in that hat?

Who's being a baby? I'm just trying to make things less complicated. It's not a big deal. In any case, fuck you.

yeah, if we just had a main theme it'd be easiest guys.

OPA, you're still my fav lover.

I've already PMed my theme to seafoam and expect his for me soon.

I kind of want to redeem myself for being such a lousy participant the last time I did this. What's the deadline for this one?

EDIT: Oh, I see there's another thread now.

beachy and I are in.
