I don't know how much trading has been going on, but I just recieved my first offering from our Limmo.  (btw, if anyone has a mixdisc on offer, i'm interested and will reciprocate).  I noticed there hasn't been any discussion of these disc in here so i'll break the ice and say that Limmo's "A mixtape Todd found on a dumpster and decided to hang on to" is frickin' awesome!!!  Good pace, leaning toward the upbeat, with lots of great songs.  A great party disc I would think.  Some of the songs and artist I knew and some I didn't which is good.  A little mix of the familiar with the new.  I've listened to it several times and I intend to give it many more spins.

I got that one too (mine will be mailed shortly, I promise).

I really like the three I have heard so far.

Mine won't have a cool name like that, though.

Anyway, I love hearing the cool new music, and must concur that Limmo indeed knows really awesome tunes and was kind enough to share them with me (and Paul, evidently).

The rest of you are *so* out of the inner circle loop.  Nanner nanner on you.

I also believe that the mixes I've recived thus far are things of beauty.  Not like that crappy one I sent out.  

Here here for folks with good taste, sending me songs by bands that I a)had heard of, but never heard and b)ended up really enjoying.  Good on 'ya.

Bun of a sitch, my disc got it's very own poll!  They grow up so fast.

Carlosdelvaca's disc will be in the mail by tomorrow; never got a reply back from AugustWest.  

Glad you guys enjoyed the tunes.  sjlimmer and Andalucia both pointed me towards artists I'd never thought about ( Yo La Tengo; Jim O'Rourke ); I look forward to the next batch.

I really will try to get my mix off the ground soon. As for mixes I've received, I just got sjlimmer's (gave Jough contact info, but it was apparently not meant to be) and have not listened to it yet, but it looks keen.

Wow.
Keen.
Superb!

Anyway, I'm sulking, what with airmail costs and the chances of VAT getting slapped on shit.
Fuckers.

As soon as I actually get a mix together, it will be yours. (Well, once I get contact info, anyway.)

I'm here to testify that the discs I've gotten have also been rad, and I'm happy that there have been no embarassing moments of someone using exactly the same song as I did (close enough though: different songs by the same [relatively obscure] band, and different versions of the same [albeit an obvious choice] song.  Curse you all and your impeccable taste!)

sjlimmer, I swear I am working on getting your disc mailed!

The song she refers to is John Cale's "Andalucia", included on my CD as the track from Paris 1919, and on hers as the Yo La Tengo cover.  

I was going to include the original version of The Knack's "My Sharona," which was called "Choopernickel," but I seem to have lost my copy.

Um, I already got it, a few days ago.  It's very nice.  If you really want to send another, well, I guess you can.  I could pass it on to someone who needs to be musically enriched.

Wow, I made a dic that looks keen.  You have no idea what high praise I consider that.  Thanks.
