It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but are we doing mix CDs this year?

Doubt I'll have a chance to make one but well volunteered Mr. Varwell... assuming you fancy being the one with the big bag for CD's?

Er.... okay then. If I'm in charge of it, then can I suggest people also bung a quid in the bag along with each CD, so that we can raise a bit more for the charity?

[G J Katie]

Thanks Simon, I'd volunteer to be in charge myself but I wont have chance to make one and I'm guessing Zena'll have things for me to busy myself with!

[Mr Phil]

I've spent the whole day doing one, and I know Siobhan and Steve are planning on it too.

I actually came on here to start a thread about it.

[Kneller2]

I'm sure i shall manage

[Mr Phil]

It is awesome, by the way. 21 tracks of awesomeness.

I have been spending far too much time on the Hype Machine today.

(They're not all from the Hype Machine.)

Having said that, the transition from track 4 to track 5 is quite messy. But it's burned now. I'm not going back on my decision.

[Poohbah (Gsq)]

Oooo I made some for I think FabFeb and then didn't do anything with them. So if I can find them, I'll bring them. I think they may be garbled nonsense. But then maybe that's the kind of music I like

Plans are good. It will be awesome.

[Worm]

I have a fine collection of CDs because I make a backup copy of the one I make for Join MEets.

my K4 CD is in my car as we speak

I'm up for making one for GGF 2008 - I just feel sorry for whoever gets it

[SJ Del (The Train Man)]

I'm definitely making one!

[Joinee Varwell]

Great stuff. Well watch out for me on the Friday in the pub and give me your CDs and £1.

I'll be the one holding the carrier bag full of CDs.

Unless you're the first one to catch me, in which case I'll be the one with the empty carrier bag.

[SJ heulwen]

Ooooh... this may take some time... I'm sure I can find SOME time though between now and Friday...

[Mr Phil]

I've made the sleeve now.

I'm so cool.

[Thorners (a.k.a. Claire)]

Huzzah! I will so work on one (between the other 40 things I need to do before GGF . Yeah, it's one of those weeks).

[Kneller2]

I'm thinking that 2 cd's might be in order....i'm having a good rummage through my cd collection. T'is fun!

How does that work, Martin? Will it be like a double CD or would you then draw two out yourself?

[Siobhán]

Does this mean if Steve and I submit a joint CD we only get one between us? That would not work...

I may have to do a solo effort as well then. And he can get the one for our awesome CD of awesome.

I would think you should do your own one yes. I'm going on a "one in, one out" logic!

Last year, Steff or maybe Mark (can't remember which?) did a triple CD, so I made sure they got three back.

[Siobhán]

In which case my 'no love song' mix will get a run out...

[Kneller2]

I'll just put 2 in a bag and pull one out *so to speak*

....either that or pull 2 out....i just love making compilation cd's...i may do another 2 as well, just for the sake of it

[Thorners (a.k.a. Claire)]

I have a theme! And potential three mixes built around it! I may break out glitter later or on Thursday for decoratingness!

Can you tell I'm a wee bit excited?

Don't leave any deposits at the end (so to speak) - you should withdraw exactly what you inserted.

So to speak.

Si's posts have taken a strangely entendre'd tone.

[7. Rem]

i'll do one as usual.

and as usual it will be awesome

[Joinee Varwell]

Mine's just done. It's alright.

Steff did a triple, I can see it on my shelf from here, and I did 3 seperate cds.

[Pud]

Hopefully as at KV I will be doing one and Stephen will be doing one and as at KV mine will be better than his. (Tim and Elliot declared it so)

[Mr Phil]

I'm listening to Del's.

It's bloody good.

But I need a proper track listing, with artists as well as song titles.

[Joinee Varwell]

Whoever got mine will have noticed it said on the front "Sivar's hastily compiled GGF4 mix CD".

It really was hastily-compiled - it was GGF5, not 4! Oops!

I shall PM it to you later. I currently have no printer, so I couldn't do a decent sleeve.

I have Siobhan & Steve's lovingly compiled & illustrated masterpiece which I shall enjoy greatly.

[Worm]

Whoever gets mine - I will email you a track listing.

[Siobhán]

currently quietly weeping to Claire's (I do this to love songs sometimes - I am such a girl) but yet to listen to Martin's. Looking forward to it mind.

[Kneller2]

Just given Claire's a listen....not bad at all

On to Sivar's now

...and should you indeed require a track listing for mine, i shall provide

[PJ Stevie G]

I am yet to get round to listen to Claire's other love song compilation (which is quite bad seeing as I've done bugger all today), but I have tres high hopes. mainly because the first track is The Postal Service.

[Kneller2]

Sivar's cd has some amazing instrumentals.... instrumentals!!

[Siobhán]

track listing would be awesome ta!

the death cab for cutie song makes me howl though, it is sad

[Kneller2]

Could you let me know which CD you have and i'll send it you

[Siobhán]

When I'm at home I will look/listen and let you know. I have not had a chance to look properly yet. Steve picked it out and it has been sat in Phil Hatchard's carrier bag in my bag until earlier on today. The joy of shlepping around all bank holiday weekend.

edit:

Del can you let us know what you thought of our masterpiece?

Martin shows a shocking level of good taste!

Well picked that man!

[Thorners (a.k.a. Claire)]

I was going to listen to my three treats en route to the wilds, but packed them too deep in the boot of my wee car (there's smut somewhere in that sentence, I'm sure, but I'm too tired to find it). So Martin, Phil and Worm, will listen soon and let you know what I think. I'm sure they are ace.

My favourite song was probably Sebastian Tellier - Sexual Sportswear. I'd heard it before having been recommended it by Siobhan but i don't have any Sebastian Tellier CD stuffs so its great

Shutter - Hope in the Skies is very good too and i also love Ynys Elen by Banco de Gaia and of course Sigur Ros

Right. Tellier's first album is apparently rubbish but I have one song from it which is excellent - La Ritournelle. The second album, "Sexuality", is meant to be much better but again I only have the one song (Sexual Sportswear).

The second album, *is* much better and La Ritournelle is a stunning song, but the rest of the album is not as good (though it depends on your taste obviously)
