A shameless plea for mix CDs

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

So I'm having a hard time earning money lately, and weaning myself off huge benders at Fopp, Selectadisc, and Rough Trade is proving very very difficult. So, if you feel generous and creative and happy to inflict your taste on a total stranger, I would welcome any mix cds - I'm poor and miserable, and if you read ILM regularly you might now what kind of thing I like, though I listen to pretty much everything. I promise to give feedback if needed. Thanks ILM.

i can't do CDs but if you can hang w. tapes, maybe i'll get around to making you 1 of those, what say?

― duane, Monday, 17 March 2003 15:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Hell, yeah - I LOVE tapes, tapes are gonna be the new currency once the economy implodes next week!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Monday, 17 March 2003 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Drop me a line...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 March 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey, hook me up with a copy of that new Fog album and I'll throw you something together ;-).

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Monday, 17 March 2003 20:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Email me yr address & I can hook you up.

― Bill E (bill_e), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:04 (twenty-three years ago)

That's cool Bill. Anything you need?

Nord - send me your address, I'll drop something in the post soon.

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd be willing to make you something, but I'm not familiar with your tastes. Drop me a line.

― Jeff Sumner (Jeff Sumner), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:27 (twenty-three years ago)

Is it too late for me to get in on the tape/disc trading orgy?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:50 (twenty-three years ago)

and if i send everyone who's replied "yes" a disc will they send me one back?

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:52 (twenty-three years ago)

yup.

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:53 (twenty-three years ago)

and if i send everyone who's replied "yes" a disc will they send me one back?
Depends on three things...
1) Tell us what yer into, so I know if I have anything that might amuse you.
2) Do you plan on enlightening anyone (who sends you a disc) by sending them a disc in return?
3) Do you prefer WAVs for playing in any CD player or MP3s to play in yer 'puter?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 17 March 2003 21:57 (twenty-three years ago)

1) whatever you really like will amuse me in some way :) (that means i can't pin it down...)
2) enlightening? no...i'd ask what you've asked first.
3) either. the nicely thought through comp on wav, or the gluttony of a disc of mp3's.

― gaz (gaz), Monday, 17 March 2003 22:01 (twenty-three years ago)

cool, email me a land address and I'll see what I can do.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 17 March 2003 22:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Gaz - I'll trade ya something, why not? You too, Lord.

― scott m (mcd), Monday, 17 March 2003 22:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Sure, why not. Scott m, email me a land address and so forth.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 17 March 2003 22:10 (twenty-three years ago)

E-mail me an e-mail. I have some cool funk/soul stuff I've been listening to lately I can send.

― Jess Hill (jesshill), Monday, 17 March 2003 22:12 (twenty-three years ago)

If anyone in this beyotch wants to trade, send me a message off-board.

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 10:09 (twenty-three years ago)

what Nathan said

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 10:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Right, I quite like the idea of swapping mix CDs but I'm not sure how much of the stuff I could offer would be new as my tastes seem to fairly well mirror ILM's. Would people be up for just random or themed stuff?

― Nick H, Tuesday, 18 March 2003 11:38 (twenty-three years ago)

uhmmm, does anyone wanna make be a bitchin' ragga tape/cd-r? and how about some of that gutter garage simon reynolds keeps bangin' on about?

i can offer bill cosby / richard pryor galore or a vivrant mix of all sorts of music or both even!

― Nik (Nik), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 11:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Nik I can do you a CDR culled from various dancehall comps and a tape of some oldish (2000/2001) jamacian sevens. No really up-to-date rhythms tho. That okay?

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 12:00 (twenty-three years ago)

that would be awesome.... email on its way to ya.

― Nik (Nik), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I should add that I will of course send something back if you tell me what you like. I have a lot of stuff, but it is fairly random, so...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Random is good. Random (sometimes) == eclectic.
I'll put you on *my* send-a-disc list if you email me a land address.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:34 (twenty-three years ago)

I should probably add that while I listen to everything, the Jess article on hardcore made me realise there's a whole bunch of bands, especially the "good" San Diego stuff that passed me by - I always listened to Jehu and Truman's Water, but I have yet to familiarise myself with Antioch Arrow or Heroin, etc.

Also quite keen to hear more Black Dice/Boredoms-type stuff, Coptic Light, anyone???

And...Any Brazilian psych/bossa stuff that's worth hearing - I have a bit of Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze, and Os Mutantes, but know not where else to tread.

Need more Philly Soul, too. :)

Lord Custos-coming right up.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay. I just looked in my black CDR box and have only three left. So for right now, gaz, stevem and Nordicskillz are the only ones I can accept disc requests from.

Maybe if we have another thread like this, in say, a couple months, I'll be able to make more.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:38 (twenty-three years ago)

< SERVICE PATCH >that should be "...I looked in my blank CDR box..."< /SERVICE PATCH >

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Word. All this trading is giving a warm feeling. I'd love hear some Coptic Light stuff too. Can anyone slip me a copy of the New Pornographers Electric Version? A mix CD or CDR of choice will be winging it's way in gratitude...

― Nathan Webb (Nathan Webb), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 14:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Without being greedy ;)

Also looking for a bone-raw delta blues mix, a peggy lee mix, and a Lee Hazlewood mix. I'll stop now.

Thanx everyone!!!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 15:15 (twenty-three years ago)

i dont think there are an coptic light recordings avail., but if anyone has something i would love to hear it.

i can offer a black dice / avey tare / other arty bands mix to whomever wants one...

― marcg (marcg), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 16:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd be happy to make a copy of any of the mix CDs I mentioned on this thread.

List Your Mix-CD

It's a shame we never did set up that Mix CD trade page. I'd love a CD of the songs from The Dance Music Nobody Talks About S & D thread.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 16:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Slightly offtopic...What do y'all think of THIS GUY'S taste in mixes?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Tuesday, 18 March 2003 16:58 (twenty-three years ago)

Jess, Mitch, Ned: Just in case you're reading, I will soon be mailing out the discs you won ages ago. Apologies for the delay.

"The same bunch of tracks I sent to gaz, Nordikskillz and scottm" (2 CDs)

I'm currently looking for mp3 archives of *80's* Indie ("pre-Nirvana"-era)...but I will just as happily swap my version of a (Blues|Celt|Goth) mp3 mix for your version of a (Blues|Celt|Goth) mp3 mix...
