Ok, so the other topic was getting a little long, and the elusive master (Benji) has said that we should open another topic...
So, we have a number of options on how to go about this now.
1. We can open it up to new members, and send out the original cds
2. Open it up to new members, and send out new cds
3. We could change the format completely, and totally rip off the north american swap - have a new batch go out each week / two weeks. So say I sent all my cds out, and then 2 weeks later, Rita would send hers out, and yeah.
SO what do you think guys?

So you're talking about the next one not the last one?
This is all too confusing for me.

Where was that posted & why didn't anyone else bother following it - bar you of course!

By they way, I want to set a rough guideline for the next swap (if it goes ahead). I want people to try and stick to new music wherever possible. Even if that means unsigned local bands. I like the idea of these swaps being ways of getting people into new bands/acts. I am a big fan of promoting and discovering new music wherever possible. So I would prefer people to stay away from established acts (unless they are relatively unknown or you have a rare song by them).
I would also like us to stay away from Pixies related stuff, so no Breeders, Amps, Martinis, Catholics etc.
If people don't have any new music they like, either on CD or downloaded onto their PC, then fair enough, there will be no exclusions. If you have time though, perhaps get searching the web for new talent. I have found a lot of bands recently (some new, some unbeknown to me previously) from Amazon.com/co.uk. Simply type in a band you like and then look at what people who bought that also bought. Then go search that band/act out and listen to some of their stuff on there or a filesharing website or official website.
Also searching on Google for bands is a good way. I have found loads of site through google, form various searches such as 'new bands', 'underground music' etc.
Just a few suggestions.

When were those guidelines stated?
I thought the rules had gone out the window in the first round pretty much in any case?

I want to do both too. Mike, what the hells happened to Bumble?!?! is he dead?!?! Go find out! I want my damn mix! The next round will hopefully be as successful as the first.
Shame there were some no senders this round - i really didnt think that would happen on a forum like this. I think we should discuss some of our mixes though, be good to get some feedback from people. Ill do a little review tomorrow or at the weekend.

Posted - 01/25/2005 : 08:20:46
Yeah that's a good point. Brian, if you could make sure that the people who participate in both are not one of the first few to send out in the 'genre specific' swap (unless they actually want to be), then that should solve the problem.

Posted - 01/25/2005 : 08:15:01
the two mixes really shouldn't conflict folks - let's say you are doing both - you can make up your genre mix the week before you mail out, which may either be next week or in 6 or 8 weeks - so as soon as our order is set, decide then, because the only way it would conflict is if you were #1 or #2 in the queue for the genre mix

I'm still going to decide Mike, I'll see what I can do. I like very much to do that mixes, and I had already some musics on my mind...
P.S. Only one post left to reach the 6.000

I know but like I said, it will take about 20 weeks for the 'genre specific' one to finish, 'cos one person sends their CD out to everyone, then everyone listens to it for a couple of weeks to digest it, then the next person goes and sends their CD. And so on.
So it's either at the same time, or we wait 'til the summer I'm afraid.
