Who's up for a CD chain?
« Reply #45 on: November 29, 2003, 03:40:12 am »
My mix is complete.

A girl for whom I had never played music before exclaimed that the CD ROCKED and inquired where she may acquire a copy.

I gave her the one in the player when it was finished.  And then she had sex with me.

So just so you people know: when you play my mix CD, people will want to have sex with you. *

You have been warned.






*So you may not want to play it for your grandpa or anything.

This thread really just reminds me that satchel isn't around anymore... he introduced me to so much rad music and was very generous in cd-mailing.  I really wonder where he went.

Compiling my cd presently... I'm working on an antidote to Jough's cd.  Mine'll be good'n nerdy.  Probly if you listen to it, no-one'll ever have sex with you again.

Then they must fight...to the death!

As for my mix, it has been done for about a week now, but I haven't looked at it/listened to it in the interim.  I was reasonably satisfied with the way it came out when I finished it, but now that I'm in a different mood I'd probably want to replace ~80% of the songs.

I knew I should have made more than one mix.

Alright, my mix is done...for the moment.  I've got to roll through it a few times to see if it flows.   It won't make anyone have sex, but then again some absent-minded toe-tapping was my only goal.

Awaiting mailing instructions.

I'm working on my mix as we speak.  So far, the theme seems to be mysecond-favorite songs by each of my favorite bands.  Odd.

( Artwork's in quotes because it's turned out really, really crappy! )

Does that mean you have finished the mix or do you do cover "artwork" first?  I always do that second after I survey the overall theme for a good picture ..I usually use anything explodingdog cause well, there's always something there to set a mood ..if not a complete one, I merge two together for complete chaos!  :D

hopefully I don't get sued one day for doing that without permission; not like I'm charging money for the altered art though

I started with the mix.  I've played it through a few times and snipped off the last two songs.  I'm happy with what I've got.  I wouldn't think about doing the cover until the songlist was set in stone.

I was just going to write the songs on the blank J-cards for the CDs, and then thought That's cheesy, I should try to at least spiff them up a little.

Which has opened several cans of software and printer-related worms.

My artwork will consist of whatever's printed on the disc from the manufacturer.

MAYBE if you're lucky I'll write something on it with a Sharpie™.

I write in sharpie on the actual disc :D
..I once had someone do some weird art in sharpie on a disc ..it was rather scary at first ..like artistic scratchings... \/\/\/\.\XXXX (stuff like that)

[ETA:  oh yeah, concerning the start of my mix ..I'll start planning it tomorrow.  I figure since there are no further instructions yet, I'm not really late here!]

If I'm feeling really generous an unconcerned about my color ink supply I'll use one of the templates in Nero. But generally it's just track list and times.

Alright, then, fuck it.  I'll just put an unlabeled disc in an unpadded envelope.  With some sand.  Ship it fourth class.  

Good times. :mrgreen:

( Also, when I said it was a mix CD?  It's really just Van Halen II, sourced from a cassette I found in an abandoned muffler shop. )

WTF!  Are we doing this thing or what?  Did names and addresses and such get sent out and nobody told me?  Should I make the effort to complete this thang or what?
