For real and for serious, people, this is the sign up thread. Please post in this thread if you plan on participating.

---------------------------------------

For anyone who hasn't done this in the past, here's how it works:

If we get more than 20 people, there will be two groups - one that I oversee and one that hobot oversees. Not sure how we'll divide up the groups yet, but we'll cross that bridge in due time.

Once the group/s are decided, everyone needs to start working on their playlist. I generally give people two weeks to come up with something. It can be 30 minutes or it can fill a full CD. Whatever you want. And you can put whatever you want on it. If it has lots of They Might Be Giants, that's fine, but you will most definitely get harassed to hell and back.

If you don't make the playlist deadline, I give you the boot. Plain and simple. You're out of the trade.

Once I'm positive that everyone is still in, I will send out a notice that you need to make X number of copies of your mix.

A tracklist is required to accompany each disc. The tracklist should contain your username somewhere on it. Many people include album art on the tracklist, but it's not required. Some include liner notes, but they're not required.

All discs should be labeled with your username on it, and each disc should be contained in a slim jewel case. Please do not use regular sized jewel cases. They jack up the price of postage and are a pain.

You have two weeks to make the copies of your mix and send them to me through the mail, along with the postage it will cost to send them back to you. I will let you know how much postage is (usually around $6). If you dick around on this and hold everyone up, I will simply tell you to forget and wait till the next trade.

Once I have everyones mixes, I will collate them and mail them back to you. So what you receive, in the end, is a different mix from each member of the group.

Please don't sign up if:

Your CD burner is on the fritz/broken
You plan on using someone else's burner
You can't afford to participate (you will need money for the discs/cases/postage - probably $25)
You procrastinate and like to be a dick when everyone else is nice and prompt

I'm in for what will be my fourth try.......maybe a random mix, MAYBE a carefullyt selected DJ mix.

I also vote for the "compleat" MP3 option as well.

Any chance we could pick groups somehow? Last time there were some great mixes in group 2 that I would have loved to have gotten. Maybe we could all post a brief description of what kind of mix we intend on making?

And, as always, mine will have absolutely zero artwork - the focus is and should be the music.

in, brah.

a good sense of design can make the harmonies JUMP

PS - the MP3 collection is probably the answer to your question.

WHATEVER happened to our tracklistings(and commentary/comments) from last time? Are they archived?

me me me!

I already have a theme.

"Please Sir, can I have some more?"


I'm in!

Ha, I was listening to an old mix earlier and was thinking of what to put on my new one. Lo and behold, sign ups are today! I'm in.

Yep, look at the old Noise Board forum. They're sub-links on the forum category page.

I hope there is a demand for Budpunk...I want in.

sure.

I'm in. I can't wait to inflict my shitty taste on others.

Dammit.

i'm in. everyone like show tunes?

I'd like to play.

I'm in. Haven't done one of these in awhile.

Sign me upsville.

I'm in.

thanks.

i'm ready to do this again.


you're all doomed...

Correction: The Noise Board Archives forum.

I'll give it a shot

Weird, I was JUST wondering when you guys would do another one of these.

Count me in.

I'd like to participate. Am I too late?

K2 is in and my mixtape is already complete. Thank you very much.

i'd like to be in for the initial 20 & then see what happens if that's OK

if your avatar is any hint, then I'm in for a treat. Glad Tintern is in too - he was in group 2 last time and made a mix that I was envious of.

I would like to be in and Tom as well. We are thinking half his picks and half mine.

I'd like to do this - but 20 CD is too much for me to make -- and honestly, too much to receive and digest properly.

Anyone who feels similarly, PM me -- perhaps we can do a private trade.

How much time will be given to make the 20 cds?
Guess I should have asked that before I agreed to it.

heh, actually i wasn't sure if i wanted to do this or not then saw you were in and decided to.

i actually have a mix i made a few months ago but i don't think i gave to anyone on here, i think i'm going to redo the track listing a bit and use that. if that's not kosher or something, please let me know.

I think I will give it a whirl.
I look forward to frightening people. mwaaahahahahaha

...and I can't wait to trick you into liking something

I'm in.

"HE HEARD, SHE HEARD"

Resistance is futile, I have been assimiliated into the NB mix.

I was looking at my 2004 NB mixes. It's amazing the amount of people involved in that who no longer post here.

So is there a correlation in participating in the mix and leaving the board? I might have to rethink my position on this whole mix thing.

I'd like to be in again. Hopefully my extremely low posts per day average won't be the deciding factor in axing me from it if it comes to a tiebreaker type situation.

Don't feel bad. I've done this twice already and I have like 60 CDs I haven't even listened to yet. I am sure I am missing a lot. I wish they could make a giant MP3CD or something. Regardless, K2's Noise Board Mixtape #3 has been done for like a week now. I call it the 'jukebox' CD because you get twice the rock for your dollar or something like that. You'll see.. OH! and my 'theme' this time is again local bands, the best of 2005.

dude, just update your avatar : )

nearing the 1000 Club membership and you want to look spiffy in your first club smoking jacket.

seriously though, I was gonna PM ya, your compilations are IN DEPTH and much appreciated.

About the avatar - honestly I need to go find that PM where you told me how to post a picture as I've forgotten how. That's a big reason I haven't changed it, plus my hardcore homage-stance toward Mr. Bolin.
Glad you've liked some of the tunes Frank, thanks.
And the smoking jacket -- do you place it on me like the Masters Green?

ok. i'm done my playlist and frankly, it's awful

my mix is going to be a comp of all my fake bands.

I promise i'll keep the grind to a minimum. i make no other promises. I'm in.

i would like to hear the hebrew ss

I'm on to your little tricks! It's still the only Phish song I like - I refuse to like any more.

I'll do it again.

sweet, we had an "air" band called FOOTRIDE once, maybe they could go on tour with your FakeApalooza bands in support of your mix.

Please add me to the list for this next round of mixtrade shindiggery.

Thanks.

that sounds gay. no.

too late, they just did a van tour of western upstate New York. Footride upstaged your bands in Utica, but after that things kind of fell apart for them.
