Nate's CD-R 700MB MP3 SUPER CHALLENGE (of death)

Message Bookmarked

I don't really know who a lot of you people are, to be honest. I see such-and-such talking about "this band is shit" or "this band is great" and it means little or nothing to me in the scheme of what sort of music-listening experiences and tastes these people have -- because I don't know what those experiences and tastes are.

The only solution is to engage in a monstrous orgy of CD-R mail-trading and playlist pimping.

The rules: at least 100 songs that define you as a music fan. Songs you do not merely "like" or "nod your head to", but ones so ingrained in your personality, that you're so stupid in love with that you'd inscribe them on your headstone.

One song per "billed" artist (use discretion re: "featuring..." appearances or production spots). No other rules. Any years, any genres, whatever. You can make it 100 songs of ghetto tech booty bass as far as I care (and hell, that might make for a great listen).

You post yours. I'll post mine. And then we all lez up. (figuratively, I mean, with the CD trades in the mail and such.)

Now, Nate? Here? I would like to do this, but need some time. Pinning my colors to the mast (so to speak) is something of a scary proposition.

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:22 (twenty years ago) link

The word "define" is scary, you know.

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:22 (twenty years ago) link

trades in europe okay?

― thom west (thom w), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:23 (twenty years ago) link

also i can't help thinking you spent a very hornby evening working out your list and this is like some way of almost salvaging it

― thom west (thom w), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:24 (twenty years ago) link

"a very hornby evening". God help me if I ever have one of those.

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:26 (twenty years ago) link

thank you Nate, i've been wanting to get more CD-R trading going on this bitch for some time

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:26 (twenty years ago) link

What do we do? We post our lists and then people who want discs ask? I don't exactly get the process.

― southern lights (southern lights), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:31 (twenty years ago) link

What do we do? We post our lists and then people who want discs ask?

Yes.

I don't have my list planned either. I just decided to do this after riding home on the bus and coming to the conclusion that the Isley Brothers' "Who's That Lady" could be my favoritest song ever.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:34 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, it's a great song.

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 22:36 (twenty years ago) link

will post list soon, then.

Must plan! Will get back to this....

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

Ha, I'm compiling this and coming to the realization that at least four of the tracks are going to be directly inspired by my total dorkdom fanboy lurve of Boogie Nights (and one of them is "Sister Christian", ferchrissakes)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Wednesday, 1 October 2003 23:56 (twenty years ago) link

(other three are "God Only Knows", "Driver's Seat" and the Move's "Feel Too Good")

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:25 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, and I don't want to limit the maximum number of tracks, but let's have kbps at 128 at worst; no fair cramming 300 56kbps MP3s on there

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 2 October 2003 00:39 (twenty years ago) link

I'd love to participate if I can actually figure out how to digitize my vinyl shit..

I wasn't quite sure what I was doing. Started out just trying to think of my favourite songs, then tried to focus on ones that 'define me', and then I got more and more confused about what that means. Then I spotted the 'one song per artist' rule and had to get rid of lots. I dunno. It was obviously a bit random. The tokenistic choices define me too.

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 2 October 2003 01:09 (twenty years ago) link

just go away - blondie
i'll come running back to you - sam cooke

Please tell me this was intentional

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 2 October 2003 01:44 (twenty years ago) link

ha - no! but most of my favourite songs are about pushing people away or pleading for them to come back. It's my thing.

If you are actually Nate Patrin in disguise, then check yer mailbox tommorrow. My CD-R will probably be there by then.

This is a great idea. Is there any kind of deadline? I don't know if I'm quite prepared yet and it may take a day or so, but I'd be more than happy to ship cds to Europe or wherever mail can be delivered.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Thursday, 2 October 2003 03:43 (twenty years ago) link

I am trying to do this now and it is driving me insane.

― adaml (adaml), Thursday, 2 October 2003 05:04 (twenty years ago) link

I'm working on it as well, and I just got it under 300. How & why do I make the time for this kind of thing?

Nate is somewhere deep underground, cackling and stroking a white cat.

I curse myself for not organizing anything alphabetically.

i've done a CD-R that basically amounts to 'the rarest shit on my hard drive' which won't be saying THAT much but is still a good collection. i may post that elsewhere tho - CD-R according to criteria established by Baron Detritus to follow...

Got all my tracks selected and am burning them for my own (deeeeeevious) listening purposes, but when I get home from work I'll put them in order and post the playlist.

I wound up with about 220 chosen, culled down to 172 (128 kbps). A ton of familiar stuff, though the closest there is to an Annoying Canonical Song is Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man". I also have Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day" so no complaints pls

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 2 October 2003 09:42 (twenty years ago) link

I'll get in on this, but it will be next week before I can actually post something. I love trades.

hmm could be interesting. let me try to put something together.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 2 October 2003 11:33 (twenty years ago) link

Haha, I was trying to decide if "It Was a Good Day" should be on mine, too! Sadly, I figure that it will take me at least a month to decide on 100 songs. There are bands I love that have plenty of great songs, but no stand-out track. This makes my head hurt.

I would also love to exchange some cd-rs.

My list is down to 170 songs, which all fit onto one cd-r, and none of the songs are under 128. Woohoo! I think I'll listen to it some and move the tracks around and probably eliminate many before I post it, but I'm hoping the list'll be ready sometime tonight.

Looks like a good mix, stevem. I'd love a copy.

I feel bad, because no matter how hard I try (not very), I keep coming up with multiple tracks by a few of the same artists. Does that alone make me a terrible person?

As close as it's going to come. It was more difficult than I thought. But I want all of these songs played at my (very long) funeral, so mission accomplished. I don't have all these on my hard drive, it may take some time to compile. But I'd be up for trades for other lists from this (esp. stevem!) once that happens.

Damn - I forgot the Modern Lovers' "I'm Straight" and Roy Orbison's "In Dreams". Lucky I'd only listed 101 so far.

Two votes for 'Tugboat' in a row!

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:32 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, there's probably fucking loads I forgot. I just wanted to be first.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:37 (twenty years ago) link

I can't believe I've got no Prince or Talking Heads on mine. Glaring.

― scott m (mcd), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:39 (twenty years ago) link

Two in a row for Liz Phair's 'Divorce Song' and three over all, so far.

Switching Roy Orbison from 'In Dreams' to 'Only the Lonely' was pretty much the last change I made.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:42 (twenty years ago) link

Nate, can you clarify this please:

One song per "billed" artist (use discretion re: "featuring..." appearances or production spots)

Are we allowed to have both Luna and Galaxie 500, both Morrissey and the Smiths?

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:49 (twenty years ago) link

George Harrison and the Beatles?

― scott m (mcd), Friday, 3 October 2003 16:56 (twenty years ago) link

That's the way they should have billed.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 3 October 2003 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

― scott m (mcd), Friday, 3 October 2003 17:02 (twenty years ago) link

It took me way too long to make this list; I really hope I don't have to change any of it now. I think there are significant differences between Galaxie 500 & Luna or John Cale & The Velvet Underground, etc. I avoided using all the different monikers Will Oldham has had over the past few years and just picked one overall song for him, although I can see an argument for using him more than once. Maybe we can just use our own best judgement? please

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Friday, 3 October 2003 17:08 (twenty years ago) link

OK I'm in. Here's a reasonably catholic (small 'c') mix of tunes, limited by what I have on the hard drive, but I'll stand by 'em all as beloved. I tried at the same time, with a few exceptions, to stay away from the too obviously canonical. But I could take these tunes with me into the hereafter and be happy.

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 4 October 2003 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

Well, here's mine, ranging from stuff I've loved since I was 8 to things I discovered two weeks ago. I'm happy with the track listing, but I'm also more proud of the actual sequencing than any normal person should be. "Highway Star" into John Coltrane! It works, damn it! And I managed to keep shit a bit more mixed-up genre-wise than my usual "here are 20 disco songs in a row, gradually shifting into post-punk" routine, even though the flow of the rhythms and general sonic themes stays mostly constant.

Notes:

1) King Geedorah and MF Doom are technically the same MC, but the Geedorah track here doesn't feature him on the mic, just producing. Loophole ahoy!

2) Sorry Matos, but when it came down to Santana vs. Candido for full rights to blow fuckin' MINDS, man with "Jingo", I had to let space decide. Three minutes beats 9+ when I'm trying to cram in as much goodness as possible. (Yet I throw in "Shine on you Crazy Diamond", "Walk On By", "Hidden Shadows", "Marquee Moon" and "The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"... uh, hey, look over there)

3) Boy there's a lot of covers.

4) There's a few songs/songs-what-sample-them occurrences. I deliberately pointed this out with the "Man Next Door"/"When the Levee Breaks" sequence.

5) TS: Lemmy vs. Mike Watt!

6) The Lou Reed song is from the completely-outta-print cult '80s animated post-apocalyptic rock sci-fi funny animal musical Rock & Rule; and I chose it because he's campy and ridiculous and stupid in this.

7) I didn't include anything by the Sex Pistols because [insert non-stupid explanation here later when I can think of one, because I can't right now]

8) Fair warning - some of these MP3s sound cruddy because they were originally recorded that way: "You Caught Me Smiling" is from that horribly-transferred There's A Riot Goin' On CD; "I'm A Pretender" is LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD LOUD; there's some weird echoey effect on "Rocker's Dub" (ha ha I kid).

minor tiny correction - the Atmosphere song is actually called "Lifter Puller" (it was spelled the other way on the promos)

Nate, that is a stunning list. Kudos for the East River Pipe, Sonics, and Vitalic, and I forgot about "Aloha Steve and Danno" - - We might have a few crossovers. I hope to get mine up tomorrow/monday.

Oh, if it isn't clear, I want that CD too.

― geeta (geeta), Monday, 6 October 2003 13:53 (twenty years ago) link

douglas's mix makes me happy, even though i'd probably only actually like a 1/3 of it.

i'm still working on mine!!

Best idea ever. Trekking through the canon of all my favourite music again was great.

I just realized that about a quarter of mine are AAC files. Will regular/Windows MP3 jukeboxes play AAC files yet?

Good to know I'm not ILM's only Sad Rockets fan. Wish I could join in, but there's a little problem called "can't afford a computer".

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 9 October 2003 08:58 (twenty years ago) link

My problem here is that at least 90% of tracks that define me as a music fan is stuff that's pretty familiar to everyone. This is partially due to me not having the resources to go download crazy over the last few years. So I'd love to hear each and every one of these, but I don't know if I have much to offer..

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 9 October 2003 11:08 (twenty years ago) link

It's funny, I think of myself as having pretty adventurous taste but when I was asked what defines me as a listener the first things that popped into my head were J. Geils Band, Rush and Van Halen.

And it's frustrating to think of the 100 more that I forgot. Indeed, Round 2 is inevitable.

― scott m (mcd), Thursday, 9 October 2003 13:12 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, the new all-MP3 list

I'm going to start burning some copies of this and get mailers this weekend. Should I include a text-file on the CD w/ the playlist (the files were all ripped with iTunes, so they only have the name and track number)

Playlist: ZZ 700

You're making iTunes sound shit when in fact it's brilliant! Shurely the album details and whatever else are held within the ID3 tags?

― N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 9 October 2003 23:18 (twenty years ago) link

They are, but for Windows users who don't launch MP3s from their Winamp or MusicMatch playlist/library, they could get lost without the artist name.

After looking over my list, I've found it to be a bit too crammed with predictability -- yeah, it defines me, but it also sort of defeats the purpose of CD trading and makes me feel kind of lame in that I'm getting all sorts of neat stuff I haven't heard before in trade for this, and these people who are sending me all this swankness are going to get what in all likelihood are ultra-familiar songs in return. So while I'm still going to send mine out to people who've already sent me theirs, I'm also going to work on a more interesting one simultaneously, picking the best lesser-known tracks from the first mix (excluding the ones that appear on my '02, '72 and '79 mixes) and throwing them in with a bunch of other weird things. In this case, it might be better for me to be an ambassador of the underheard than a pimp of the well-trod.

To be honest I'm still happy with my first mix, and I think that one actually describes my musical tastes more vividly, while the second one is what I'd play if I had an overnight 12-hour college radio marathon show all to myself. Also, yes, the revised mix has 200 songs.

Also, this but in the track listing was pretty much coincidental, yet it made me laugh:

giorgio moroder - i wanna funk with you tonight
sweet - no you don't

I didn't try to make any statements. I just went to my CD shelves and picked a sort of random. I'd like to think that if you arranged them chronologically, it would have been the soundtrack of the life of a highly persuasive boy who loved pop, but grew proud and stupid and tried to hate it, (and in those years made some highly questionable, perhaps embarassing choices) before a glorious remarriage some years later. Except it didn't, so I alphabetised it, and it's a right mess. I'm not even sure I'd still love these songs if I listened to them...

'Total Confusion' was the follow up to umm... [checks discogs.com] 'Freedom' - that's it. (you got your hippie and homeboy the wrong way around btw). Actually it seems like there were a couple of other singles in between, but those are the two I know.

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 15:01 (twenty years ago) link

(Caps return!) For my second one, I just thought of something--I should take the best songs I discovered from the mixes I receive to make a meta-mix. I've taken to trading with some non-ILM people too so it could be quite intriguing.

This metamix idea is good idea. A mathematical metamix of the metamixes might result in a more interesting list than a traditionationally derived poll.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 15:35 (twenty years ago) link

What an amazing new word I've just discovered.

― N. (nickdastoor), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 15:36 (twenty years ago) link

Sounds like we're about ready for a new metamix sub-thread.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 15:42 (twenty years ago) link

I quite like the idea of an endless string of metamixes stretching into ILM infinity.

― Sarah Pedal (call mr. lee), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 19:13 (twenty years ago) link

charlie, edward and adam i'll e-mail you. if anyone else wants to trade or would be kind enough just to, y'know, give me theirs i'd be happy. email me pls.

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 14 October 2003 21:25 (twenty years ago) link

I quite like the idea of "lez up" being brought into the vernacular as just meaning swap, trade, get together, associate. "Hey, wanna lez up tomorrow night? Maybe a little metamixing?"

Seriously too Charlie and Sarah, you guys 're both blowing my mind. I plan to post to the subthread as soon as I've digested a bit, but I spent all yesterday morning in headphoned bliss with Charlie's (that Songs: Ohia track...amazing) then skipped home to Kleenex Girl Wonder. Mine went out to those who asked yesterday...

― Barima (Barima), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 22:20 (twenty years ago) link

Nate--Don'tcha figure? I've received two thus far (Sarah Pedal and Charlie Rose's) and they're both incredible...yet there's so much stuff on them I've barely made a dent. Atop the new discoveries, who expected as much joy from the old chestnuts? (Shangri-La's; Johnny Thunders.) It's keeping me from raising my hand and begging everyone I haven't yet asked for copies ("Beat Bop" and "Apple Scruffs," say, on one CDR? How could I not love the rest of it?) Greatest thread ever, or at least greatest fallout from one...

how did i miss this thread? great idea, nate. will start on the train tomorrow.

― mark p (Mark P), Wednesday, 22 October 2003 16:31 (twenty years ago) link

revision time: did anyone else make this and then actually listen to it and think: that songs shit...why did i think i liked that?

mine has a couple of tracks i'm replacing (apologies to those i've already sent the discs to)

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 23 October 2003 21:00 (twenty years ago) link

I had the opposite reaction, gaz. I kept finding things that I love and haven't been listening to! Similarly, though, there's plenty of stuff that I would like to include. I am noticeably short on Jamaica (dub, dancehall, reggae), more experimental stuff, and I could probably do a full 100 of strictly hip hop.

― rob geary (rgeary), Friday, 24 October 2003 16:30 (twenty years ago) link

I want other peoples' though! Email me and let's swap!! just fix the punctuation in the email addy.

i guess i have to go in chronological order then. hmmm. this might take me awhile, i haven't started yet. Been too busy lately. I'll do it this weekend.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 24 October 2003 17:07 (twenty years ago) link

I opted for anarchy order. Personally I think chronological order is cool but not necessary. If the mp3's are tagged with year, I can sort them myself anyway.

― rob geary (rgeary), Friday, 24 October 2003 17:08 (twenty years ago) link

I just did what flows best (ending of "Highway Star" into drumroll intro of "Countdown" = OH GOD).

Also:
did anyone else make this and then actually listen to it and think: that songs shit...why did i think i liked that?

Not on this one, but I did on my '79 mix. Gah, Sequence. Urgh.

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Friday, 24 October 2003 23:20 (twenty years ago) link

I've been considering reworking mine. There are too many songs that should be replaced with different, more correct choices. Drat.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Saturday, 25 October 2003 01:04 (twenty years ago) link

Anyone figure out what the most-repeated group is? I think the mode so far might be Fugazi.

I haven't counted, but I'm guessing it's Johnny Cash.

Sequencing would be fun. Start with Woody Allen, end with Alan Moore, run through the wildly disparate areas in between.

The list is a little heavy on obvious stuff (I'm sure you're all curious about this "smells like teen spirit" track) but that would probably be helped if I had access to the file-sharing network. Not just because my horizons would be widened, but also because I could get the stuff that I've loved but never bought or only have on vinyl (ABC/Belle & Sebastian) or Tape (M.A.R.R.S.)

Anyway, if anyone is intending to meet me during Yet another NYC FAP and would like one, let me know!

OK. Mine finally exists: 150 songs (including virtually all of that initial 100...) and a mere 523.4 MB. I'd post a list here if I could figure out how to export it from iTunes properly.

has everyone recieved my disc now? has everyone sent me something? those are the 4 i've got so far. and, hahahaha, Nate, this is the best thread ever.

Custos, I think I still owe you the two I've posted here. Unfortunately (and I know this sounds lame) I am out of stamps and can't really buy postage at this point. I'll try to send it out this weekend, and maybe throw in the '77 mix too.

Well, homemade "brownell boxes₁" or Mail ordered gij-gadjets like the empeg or the Carplayer are part of the way there. So, to a degree, is the XM Radio. Somewhere in the middle is the personalized radio station nirvana of which you seek.

I'm on launchcast, and I've got a station there, but their catalog needs much more depth. There are a lot of indie folks there, apparently - it's one of their biggest genres. Anyway, about 3/5 of my 100 would be on my station. Also, Live365 has do-your-own stations.

128kbps & 700MB = 12 hours (or maybe 200 songs). I just realised I mistyped before, I only covered 593 MB.

boo yah! i am spinning gaz's right now. apparently it was DELAYED for COMPLIANCE with aviation security regulations by the aussie post, or so says the sticker on the front, which is now the back cover. got custos' the other day. waiting on one more then on to the next round.

hah, i kind of broke/ignored the rules and did 100 songs instead of 700MB. i can't read. it was more fun for me to stick to 100 songs which is 7+ hours of music anyway so no complaining!

ps anyone who has mine & uses itunes, hit the 'number' column and it should sort into the 'dj approved' sorting order instead of alphabetical.

female voice: "Mr. Ballard, may I help you with something?"

Ballard: "Butter your popcorn! Come on, children!"

later:
"Do it on the sidewalk
Do it in the street
Do it everywhere you see
Soulful people meet
You can do it in an alley
Or do it behind a tree
Anywhere you do it, baby
It's all right with meee!"

"Push on, baby, push
Baby, push on world
You gotta let 'em know
It's a popcorn world."

There's not a lot of exotica (apart from the Irish-specific stuff, some of which I recommend highly), but I have a big plan for expanding my tastes, which involves you all sending me the above CDRs.

I'm almost afraid to ask for more of these. There's nary a one I can honestly say I *wouldn't* like...every time I look at Yancey's, or Douglas's or (insert name here) I get ready to write an e-mail...then realize I've barely dented the ones I do have. Nate's two discs arrived a few days ago, yet I'm saving that particular thrill--and man do I know it's gonna be one--for a five hour flight later this week...meantime I can't stop listening to Gaz's, which means I'm short-shrifting Sarah and Charlie Rose's, both of which are incredible...

I think the greatest thing about this thread really isn't just the accretion of vast amounts of new stuff you've never heard...it's the pleasure of really getting to enter into another's person's musical vocabulary for a sustained period of time, which makes even the familiar stuff different. It really points out how you'll never get to the bottom of it. Even the records you think you know by heart come back and smack you up all over again.

― etc, Saturday, 15 November 2003 06:27 (twenty years ago) link

Mine is a mix. Picking 100-200 songs in alphabetical or random order is way too hard. I have too many favorite songs. It makes much more sense to me to put them in a sequence, have one lead into another, etc -- that's how I'll weed out what I don't want. Sone great stuff will fall by the wayside because it doesn't fit into sequence, and that's okay. I'm 22 songs into it, and I think I'll call that "mood #1." There will be four or five "moods."

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Saturday, 15 November 2003 06:46 (twenty years ago) link

Because otherwise, I'd be stuck going, "OK, what's my very favorite one or two Prince songs?" That's hell for me.

three weeks pass...

I'm still working on this, and loving every minute of it. It's filling my need to make mixtapes one day at a time. Every few days, I go back and work on it some more. It's like a bunch of little C90's put together. At least, that's what I'm trying to make it. The kinks I'm working out involve... well, The Kinks (ha!). I mean, I'm trying to included canon stuff, real influential stuff, but the parts of the mix that make me happiest are the ones theat I made while drunk, just stringing songs I like together. Hopefully in the end this C700 will be just a string of my moods, with seamless transitions.

Somewhat belatedly, here's my final list, all on mp3 and ready to go. I owe one to Charlie Rose already, and I'll check my old emails for those who asked for one before. Anyone else who wants to trade, let me know.

The rule I followed was that solo artists and later bands were only allowed if it wasn't the same vocalist on both tracks.

So, in chronological order, by year at least (who knew I loved the years ending in 8 so much?

I recently put together Vol. 3 of mine. Still no repeated artists.

It was ridiculous trying to pick one Miles Davis song.

I still would love to do this sometime. The only one I've heard is Kenan's, which is how I know he loves Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You."

I'm in. I jump at any excuse to spend hours preparing themed compilations, especially those which involve such a creative/selective challenge.

― Tape Store, Monday, 15 September 2008 05:29 (fifteen years ago) link

Here's a question of interest: are you guys sequencing yours or just gathering the tracks?

Also internet person your mix looks totally fun

― 100 percent HOOS test (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Monday, 15 September 2008 22:46 (fifteen years ago) link

in a rough draft, i only have about 1/5 of the same tracks as i had on my cd-r 5 years ago

― t0dd swiss, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 03:00 (fifteen years ago) link

I brought in a stack of CDs from my car to stuff from today.

what a difference 5 years make. this is more like the I Got A Ipod Shuffle As A Present challenge now

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 17 September 2008 05:58 (fifteen years ago) link

Well it's the "songs that are PART OF WHO YOU ARE" part that makes the 'challenge,' isn't it?

― art tatum HOOS & chopped (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 17 September 2008 06:04 (fifteen years ago) link

The length requirement seems pretty arbitrarily chosen unless we'll be swapping physical CD-Rs via the mail (which I'd gather is the idea?).

― art tatum HOOS & chopped (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Wednesday, 17 September 2008 06:06 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm in and would love to trade
It reminds me of the mid 80s trading seriously dodgy live tapes of terrible hardcore punk bands.

I need time though.

And I'm going to make no excuses for the predictable.

Then I realise that the original request was 2004!!!! Fuck!!!!

But it looks like the BIG HOOS is rallying the Troops again?

Problem is I go on holiday next week. So I will be unavailable for a fortnight

^ can't wait to trade and outclass 'Internet Person's' - he's missing some Kevin Keegan though!

― Fer Ark, Saturday, 27 September 2008 08:19 (fifteen years ago) link

two months pass...

ayoooo
