More Mix-CD Stuff

"The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch, but you don't wanna blow your wad, so then you got to cool it off a notch. There are a lot of rules." - High Fidelity

The Theme: The majority has spoken and they detest the restrictiveness of a theme. So, the non-theme is, uh, a random mix of amazing music. :)

Of course, you should feel free to create your own theme or give "New Beginnings" a go.

Amount of Songs:
Totally up to you.

Shipping:
I will send you a message with the address of a randomly selected person on Thursday, January 10th. I know we're all busy people so I just ask that you try to mail your CD in a reasonable amount of time.

ETA: It's not too late to sign up. Just do so before Thursday.

AND: "In the spirit of discovering new artists, can I suggest that those who participate offer a track listing so recipients can look further into new music they enjoy?"

Tegan and Sara Write Music Across The Miles

"Having learned the benefits of letting an album build after the success of "So Jealous," Tegan and Sara plan to tour into 2008 to promote "The Con." And while it's too early to predict what the next recording project will be like, Sara acknowledges that the twins have considered striking out on their own - at least temporarily."
