Mix-CD Kids

Please send me an e-mail with your name if you have not received a mix-CD from your partner. Thanks!

Mix-CD Update

Everyone who sent me their information by April 9th should have received an e-mail (or myspace message) with their mix-cd partner. If you haven't - please get in touch with me.

Mix-CD

If you're a mix-cd junkie, well, it's that time of year once again! Mmmhmm. Time to bring out your mad mixing skills and make a CD for a fellow Tegan and Sara fan.

If you're interested in receiving a CD:

Send me an e-mail or message including:
(1) Your name and postal address.
(2) Will you ship internationally?
(3) Will you send a second CD if someone flakes out or we end up with an odd number of people participating?

The CD itself:
- No theme (i.e. random non-T&S rockin' music).
- No limit on the amount of songs.
- Please include a track listing.

I will collect addresses until April 9, 2008. I will exchange addresses shortly after.

Mix-CD Stuff

Please let me know if you haven't received a mix-cd from me!

Mix-CD Reminder

Just a reminder: Please post a comment if you have sent/received a CD or if you're still waiting for one. This way we'll know if there is a problem in mix-cd land.

Mix-CD (Your Mix)

To those that participated in the mix-cd exchange:

Don't forget to share your playlist at take-a-listen!

Last Mix-CD Post

If you have sent me a postal address, you should have received an address of someone else. Please e-mail me or send me a message on MySpace if you have not received an address.

If you haven't send me a postal address but you still want to participate - what are you waiting for? Send me your information (please do so by January 10th). :)

All other mix-cd stuff will be posted at take-a-listen.blogspot.com. Yep. The Banter Blog is returning to, well, BANTER.

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?"

Mix-CD Stuff

You guys rock.

Lots of people are participating in the mix-cd exchange. Most people are totally willing to ship outside of the US/Canada, so don't be shy if you're outside of those two countries.

Once again, send me an e-mail or a message on MySpace if you're interested. Include your postal address and a note about whether you're willing to ship internationally (no biggie if you're not unless you live in an obscure country...). You'll receive two CDs (one from yours truly and another from a randomly selected person).

I plan on exchanging addresses on Thursday (Jan 10th).

ETA: Please comment (or send me a note) as to whether you want to create a mix-cd with a theme (i.e. A New Year / New Beginnings) or just a random mix of great tunes. Personally, I don't care which route we take. Reply (anonymous is fine) by Thursday if you have a preference.

Also - Meg from MySpace, it won't let me respond to your message unless we're friends (and I can't add you because I don't know your first and last name). So, add me. :)

Mix-CD Madness

You must be bored.

I mean, you're checking The Banter Blog when Tegan and Sara are on a little winter holiday. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the traffic, ad clicks, and comments but I'm thinking maybe we can cure this boredom.

A few of us have chatted about creating a mix-cd exchange. Who better to exchange with than a Tegan and Sara fan? We obviously have awesome taste in music, right?

So, watch a few old banter clips and get inspired to create an awesome CD for a fellow fan.

What do you think? Are you in?

Interested parties should send me an e-mail or a message on MySpace.

The theme: A New Year / New Beginnings.
