Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Could you not arrange a drop-off place? I dunno how practical that would be to arrange, but like a pub or something?I'm sure one of the 'scene' pubs would oblige, all it would take is a small box to store the CD's or tapes in. That way people not able to make a meeting could pick their next mix up whenever was convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 teh drop off thing does have its benefits. If what happens last time happened again and people jsut forget about it, it would be less of a problem. If someoen doesn't pick up a cd, then it will still be there for the next person next week. Rather a cd being posted to someone who will ignore it and not post it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 i think thats a rubbish idea... so you'd have to go into the pub and shamefully ask for a cd with your username...?or post it and get it through your shiny letterbox into your home...?Post is the way. Well I think you're rubbish.And manager, Sam. Manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I like the 'mix-party' idea where you end up getting any tape....they're all piled up, and you grab one. That way you don't have a clue what you're getting, plus when you make the tape up you don't have a particular person in mind.But it does mean everyone being together at the same time (or folks who can't attend could get someone who can to take 2 tapes, and come back with 2 different ones).

Paulscoconutass Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 i think thats a rubbish idea... so you'd have to go into the pub and shamefully ask for a cd with your username...?It'd be even more stupid if you went in and asked for a tape using a user name. Anyway. surely if you're going to listen to everyone elses CD's you could make a retro-cool tape of your favourite songs on it... A CD rack in somewhere like the moorings would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tv tanned Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 until you get the same tape three weeks in a row!Can we just have a variety of formats Holly? I cannot do a CD, and besides I can fit 90 minutes of aural goodness on a tape.Those who do not have tape facilities can easily get a cassette player for about five quid at a car boot sale.

Guest lime ruined my life Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 you guys!!!you're so backwards, with you're same city cd club.http://www.stylusmagazine.com/feature.php?ID=1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 until you get the same tape three weeks in a row!.With those 'mix-tape parties', you keep the tape you get, then do another one for the next swap.......in theory it builds you up a very varied collection of tapes (or Cds, or whatever).

PrincessHolly Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 For those who were wondering' date=' I'll start a new thread with the full list of people involved. All the rules will be clarified then, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know and they'll be considered.It appears people are making tapes, fair enough, make either a tape or a CD but just be aware not everyone has a tape player. Fools.Any questions meantime, give me a shout.[/quote']For goodness sakes, don't you people read posts.FAO EVERYONE:If you want to make a tape, that's fine. Just bear in mind not everyone will be able to hear it.Once the list is complete, it's up to you how you arrange passing on/receiving cd/tapes. If you want to do that by post that's ok, if you want to arrange a drop off/pick up point too, that's also fine.Any more questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 If you do it by post, then you'll know who's receiving your mix......a swapmeet would be more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted July 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 The idea is that you're always passing a CD onto the same person, if we have a bit swap meet you're never gonna get to hear everyone's cd's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Why would anyone even consider using a tape?"! They're 1/ shit2/ more expensive3/ harder to compile4/ less people have the facilities these days5/ they aren't retro, alright!6/ give me a CD!7/ later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ()Papaspyrou() Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 RULE 4) Once the final list is posted' date=' please make arrangements with the person below you as to how you would like to pass on your CD/tape.[/quote']I think we should all stick to this rule wholeheartedly because as soon as some tithead starts wading in with his tinsel-ridden CD, thats when we get problems!!Might I also suggest that there is a backup of everyone's tape/CD at the moorings in the event of the original getting lost.

Guest bluesxman Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I'll do tape or CD I don't care. But I've started a tape. Damn.I don't go to a lot of the gigs shown on here at all, shit i'm so un-scene.I'll arrange to meet whoever i've been given/one off meeting/post, but i'm not coming into town all the time to see if someone has dropped off something in a pub.

Alan Cynic Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I still favour the 'unknown' thrill of the totally random (but occasional) swap, but I'm happy to abide by the 'pass on to next person on list' format, if only to avoid being called a titheadby ()Papaspyrou()!!

It is then up to you to pm and make arrangements with the person BELOW you.Once again the rules are:RULE 1) CD's are preferable, if you wish to make a tape that's ok but bear in mind not everyone will be able to listen to it.RULE 2) Decorate as you wish with your username.RULE 3) No tracklistings please.RULE 4) Once the final list is posted, please make arrangements with the person below you as to how you would like to pass on your CD/tape.Once again, any questions, give me a shout.
