ETS Mix Exchange Q2 2013 - Need participants and a theme

[Dra508]

Hello, ETSers, Back by popular demand (sort of) here is the next installment of the ETS Mix Exchange.

-Anyone that's interested post in this thread.
-We decide on a theme
-The user creates a mix tape/disc revolving around that theme
-Everyone gets paired up and swaps/mails out their mixes! -Enjoy!

THEMES FOR CONSIDERATION
-Freedom - 1 vote
-Fantasy - 1 vote
-Space -
-Bliss - 2 votes
-Geography - 5 votes - WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
- nominate a theme

THEMES ALREADY COVERED
-Secrets
-Travel
-Senses
-Questions/Answers
-Love
-Crime
-Animals

Dah RULES

-Everyone that opts in will be assigned someone to send their mix to.
-Each mixer is to send a physical copy of their mix* (Optical or Flash Memory, no obnoxious formats please.) *If you're fanatically opposed to physical media, it's permissible to send a digital mix. However I'm sure it'd be appreciated if you sent something in lieu, like a card, poker chip, pygmy marmoset, whatever.
-Being part of a NIN community, there's no need to make them or other obvious artists (Nothing Records, etcetera) a part of you mix.
-If you fail to send your mix, you will not be included in future exchanges.
-Due date to mail your mix out: Friday 20 July. FAILURE TO MAIL MIX BY THIS DATE COULD LEAD TO SUBJECTION OF RIDICULE AND SHAME WITHIN THE WALLS OF THIS BOARD. Don't fuck up your online life people.

Even though I never received mine, I'm game for another round.

I'd be in!
I vote foooor... freedom!

Me three. I'll try to keep ya'll on task and sending on time. Or else. Crack

[frankie teardrop]

in, and a vote for bliss (who am i?)

[Elke]

I'm in, though I was late with the last one so it's fine for me if I'm just mixing for one of the unlucky ones from last round.

Also: fantasy!

[Dra508]

BUMP - Need a couple more participants. Who wants to be creative and put together a few songs they like based on a theme?

[orestes]

Theme suggestion: geography

[halloween]

me me me! i vote for bliss.

[darktemplar007]

Im in. I vote for fantasy.

[Dra508]

Theme suggestion: geography

Oh I like this one too. A bit like Travel, but I already can think of some songs that I did use for travel that would work with geography.

OK. we got 7 mixers. It'd be nice if three more would join and we narrowed the theme. majority rules. Right now we have:

-Freedom - 1 vote
-Fantasy - 2 votes
-Space -
-Bliss - 2 votes
-Geography - 2 votes


@Elke , you changing your vote?

[Elke]

Yes, if I may, I'm going to go for geography!

[Dra508]

Yes, if I may, I'm going to go for geography!

Done.


Three more peep, three more votes, please.

[Lew]

i am not very good with technology, but i might do this as group project with techminded friends.
so i just make a compilation and mail it out?
ok.
i vote for fantasy since i inhabit a deviant. lol.
when will this happen, most likely? i am not always or often on here so don't want to miss the dates.

Still collecting people. Two more would be great. Then will get a quorum on theme. Read the rules up in the first post. PM me your contact info and when we have a full set of mixers I will PM your receipant's address and such. Mix songs that you interpret the theme, put them on a cd or thumb drive - add a few trinkets, nothing fancy, send it in the post. Your recipient will post when received. Hugs and kisses all around.

[slave2thewage]

I'd quite like to do one of these. I'm off for the summer in two weeks, so I'll have plenty of free time then. And I vote for geography!

[Dra508]

Sweet. Just need one more mixer and we'll have an even number for swapping.
@slave2thewage @Lew @halloween

Please PM me your contact info, mailing addresses. I think I still have everyone else's from the last go-round.

[Tea]

I'll do it.

[Dra508]

I'll do it.

Awesome, don't stress it. Many of us have different tastes outside the obvious. Consider it expanding the minds of others and interpreting the theme.

NEED ONE MORE MIXER
@the duder @r_z

Either of you?

[r_z]

Doing the mix was fun. Wish I got some feedback from the recipient, though. Unfortunately, I'm very busy at work @ the moment. I think, I'm sitting this one out. Posting meaningless opinions about new NIN shall be enough for now.

Hit me up, if you can't find anyone else, though. Maybe I can squeeze it in, then.

[Dra508]

^^^ No prob.


For all, whether I get another mixer or not, I'll be sending out PMs with your recipient on Sunday.

[Dra508]

Well, last night I had a glass of bourbon and lost all ability to be productive. I'll send PMs tonight. First post updated.

THEME is set: GEOGRAPHY.

DUE DATE TO GET YOUR MIX OUT IN THE MAIL/POST: FRIDAY, 20 JULY.

[liquidcalm]

whoop whoop!

[Dra508]

PMs sent.


Get mixing bitches

20 July will be here before you know it!

[the duder]

Woah....sorry I missed the boat on this one. Sitting on the beach since memorial day weekend and disconnected from the Internet's for a bit. Next round d!

[halloween]

This theme is really tricky, I don't like how specific and yet vague it is...

[Tea]

This theme is really tricky, I don't like how specific and yet vague it is...

Yeah I was having trouble narrowing in on a part of geography. Location names? Types of geography? Geography as a whole? Mentions of water bodies....? Got my own theme down finally, though.

[Dra508]

However you each want to interpret.

One time the theme was travel and most of my songs were about places, whereas the one I received had songs about trains and planes and automobile.

[slave2thewage]

I'm really busy this week with travelling and stuff, so I can't send it until the 22nd. Apologies.

[Dra508]

Crap. I'm away from my music too. Won't be back until the 24th.

New deadline peeps: July 27th!

Because I can.

[halloween]

I'm just gonna say...that I just saw the new deadline now and so I'm not late after all. Woot! My mix is done, I just need to get around to finding my blank cds or just buying new ones over the weekend. I just gave my mix a final relisten and I feel so satisfied with it. I just with my recipient knew portuguese...oh well!

[Tea]

Crap. I'm away from my music too. Won't be back until the 24th.

New deadline peeps: July 27th!

Ohhhhh is that how it works! Well I would have included more goodies had I seen this. But, it's sent.
