Description:
Create a mix CD with 15-20 songs. The music can be anything you love really, just don't include music that is currently popular, or something we've heard on the radio over and over the past few years :) To make this more fun and personal, please include brief 2-3 sentence review/commentary with each song, telling what you like about that particular track! No more than 1 song by the same performer please! You must have a rating of 5 (I'm tired of no-sends LOL, if You feel you have an unjust rating and till want to join, message me). I've kept this US only for cost reasons, feel free to start a swap like this for internationals if you wish..I'm not territorial over swap themes.

i don't understand the "anything you love really, just not music that is NOT currently popular!"

I don't want everyone sending in the same songs we've all heard on the radio lately, or even stuff that's been played to death in the past couple of years. Choose music that isn't as common as weeds ;)

I will be selecting some French music, Celtic Rock, folk, Romania Gothic, and, heck, maybe even something from a musical or two....

when the double negatove threw me of: not music NOT currently popular. It should say music that is NOT currently popular...sounds fun if it's unique music!

I suppose that would confuse someone whose first language wasn't English! I'll fix it.

I've made my playlist but only have 12 songs due to the fact that a lot of the songs are over 4 minutes. Is this acceptable? Thanks!

FairyBotMother 05/18/2009 #

IssueGirl: Yeah, I think that is fine :) As long as the running time is decent, 3 fewer songs is acceptable.

FairyBotMother 05/30/2009 #

Yay! I have my mix all planed out! now I just have to write about my picks...how is everyone else coming along?

should we follow what our partners like and pick sngs we like in that genre? or is it whatever "we" the sender like??

FairyBotMother 05/31/2009 #

Whatever you the sender likes...I mean if they blatantly state on their profile that they totally hate Buddhist Chants and French Reggae, don't send them any...but it's up to the sender.

poeticpaper 06/ 3/2009 #

wow! I'd be up for some French Reggae! :)

We still have about 6 no-sends.

folks if you can't mail by the deadline, please Message your partners and let them know that you're late and the day you will be mailing!
