1. Request a mix. Challenge people with a fun theme, or not, whatever.
2. Pick a request from the list.
3. Make.
4. Send.
5. Receive.
6. Squeal.
7. Post pix.

I'ma set up an email address just for this, whitechapelmixswap -at- gmail.com (since when did Gmail need to verify your existence with a phone number for a new friggin' email address? That is so lame). We can use it for future swaps, too!

QUESTION: How have people's experiences been with our usual postal-system-system? Do we like the DIY approach: you get the address of your mix-receiver and you do the rest? Or do we want some sort of middleman action? I'm not sure what I have in mind, but I don't mind doing some extra legwork if it means things don't get lost in the mail so easily. No complaints about the DIY mailing approach, so we'll stick with that.

QUESTION TWO: Do you guys want to choose a generalized theme that will help along the requests? Say, everybody requests a different year, and the mix-makers work around the idea of that certain year? Or, your request has to be autumn-related in some way? Or, the packaging all has to be handmade in some way (jewel cases are for suckers)? Or or or.

I'll wait until I have at least twenty participants before I send out the list-of-requests. Post in here first, THEN email me with your request and address, if you're for srsbzness. K!

Edited to add:
I should also mention: If you want to fulfill multiple requests and send multiple mixes, you are by all means free to do so (note that this in no way guarantees you will receive multiple mixes).]]> Mix Swap 2011 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10260&Focus=311218#Comment_311218 2011-10-03T21:44:29-07:00 2013-05-24T17:16:21-07:00 dorkmuffin http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=6719 Would it be a worthwhile idea for people (who get not great at actually getting to the post office, as in past swaps) to upload mixes to a server somewhere?

The themes suggested so far don't strike me as great in terms of a generalization that people can expand upon individually. Maybe "quietly angry" would work, or "retro and odd" -- but I'm now more inclined to go without a theme, if nothing really mind-blowing gets suggested.


@Scrymegour, you're requesting a specifically-themed mix for yourself, and then selecting someone else's request from the master list as your assignment.

I just bought this tape from one of my favourite producers. Came on CD too, which I immediately ripped to mp3, without listening, having already streamed on Bandcamp... Will prob never play either physical format... But the tape is a much nicer object than the disc: hand stencilled and signed by the artist. This is what its all about.... fetishizing defunct objects in a world of transubstantiated media!

It is with heavy heart to hear this news of Mr. Buckingham. On a happier note I am glad to be in receipt of your mix. I should be glad to hear that I now know that enormous lack of gourd themed media. I tip my hat to you.

Track 17 (a version of Go Your Own Way without any lyrics) got screwed up during the burning process, and my computer decided to die shortly afterwards leaving me with only the faulty copy and no way to burn another one. So I sent it as is and had Major General Alexi Vassilatarov write a cover letter explaining things. He seems to have got a bit carried away and blamed the problem on "counter-revolutionary forces" (we're all a bit worried about him...).

In any case, if anyone would like a taste of the mix themselves, here's a hastily assembled YouTube version, which includes the special Bonus track I couldn't fit on the CD (ironically the problem with track 17 would have allowed me to fit in on, but I didn't realise this and used the space for an idiotic secret track instead...). A few tracks aren't available, sorry about that.
