    CDs away!...
    LL expect a care package in the next few days via Priority Mail. I tucked away some stamps for the return postage so be on the looksy for them.

    How's everyone else doing with the burning (not THAT burning E :eek: )?

    Wow, you're super quick huh?

    I've got 4 or 5 tracks so far...including 2 of my favourite 80's bands (do you know "Love my way"???) actually!!!!!!!!! yeah!

    Also hoping to find a great track on the new Mando Diao disc....just bought it though so we'll see...heard of them?
  • 05-02-2005
    Tantrum
    Oh, yeah, the Furs!...
    Only 1 80s song on this disc and it's from New Order. I can hear the collective sigh of relief!;)

    Never heard of Mando Diao but after hearing their music I have only 1 question: who came first: MD or the Killers?:confused:

    What? No Air Supply this go round?! :p

    Boy George is absent too???


    I think MD are kindof a Hives clone, not sure when the Killers hit the scene...but a girl in my office was just over in Switzerland snowboarding (yep, I hate her) and MD is huge there. You know how cutting edge the Swiss are when it comes to knives ...err...I mean music

    I never touch Air Supply...
    and I listen to Boy George in private.

    And by the way, I am only super-quick at CD burning.:p

    Terrific!
    Now I'll have something to listen to while I burn my CDs. :D

    I think I have all my songs picked out. Now I just have to arrange them, and do the CD art.

    And I managed to squeeze one over-the-top 80s song in there, too, just to mortify the unsuspecting canuck when he pops the CD in on his commute to work...ha...
  • 05-02-2005

    No CD art for me...
    Just a hand-written note on the disc. But, I did include a play-list so that when you say "What the hell kind of song is this?" you can look at the playlist and be satisfied. Or, dissatisfied, whichever the case may be.:p

    I use the term "art" loosely...
    ...being a loose kind of gal in general.

    Mine'll probably be about as arty as yours, unless the cure for terminal laziness is discovered in the next week.

    Looking forward to the new music!

    "new music"?? Tantrum?? :o

    I really should hand deliver my discs, I miss your neighbourhood!!!
    (and it's rainy here today which totally sucks)

    That hurts, but it is so true. Quite a few of my songs are from the 60s and 70s. However, I did include a Blink 182 song. Does that make me current?

    I got 'em!
    Fabulous collection. Very uppity-hippity-happity! Nicely done.

    And I breathed a sigh of relief that you didn't steal my game by putting the "Theme from St. Elmo's Fire" on your mix...whew! I'd hate to have to rethink my songlist. ;)

    OK, who's next?

    I just need a couple more tracks, guess I'll have to buy 'em off itunes, can't seem to locate any bananarama cds.....

    What downloading tool are you using? mht's Kimmy recommended Morpheus, and I love it. It seems to have access to all the obscure (read: crappy?) tunes I needed...

    You're not worried about...
    the late-night knock at the door and the subpeana for downloading music illegally?:eek: Wait, you're probably not downloading Metallica or Brittany Spears so you should be safe. Or are you?:p

    Make sure...
    I get the pineapple one.

    Other than the Furs and MD, who else will grace your CD?
  • 05-06-2005

    HA!!

    You will not believe my cd this year!!!!!


    Absolutely no electronica, no hip-hop and no Jack Johnson!!
    I know, hard to believe isn't it!!!!!!

    Great, another best of Menudo compilation...

    Anyway, guess I need to get off my bum and start doing some burning... Have hardly put any thought into it yet... Oh well.. I'll whip something forgetable up like I always do..
  • 05-06-2005
    Tantrum
    Oh come on...
    You can't stay away from electronica, hip-hop and Jack Johnson any more than I can stay away from 80s cheese. Just admit it and put it on the disc regardless of what people will say.:D

    LOL.... one Jack Johnson song, a couple of hiphop, and I believe there's also one electronica track in my cd compilation... you are going to loooooove it! :D

    (You know my gumbo mixes got a bit of everything...)

    However, my ode to the 80s song is no bananarama, duran duran, nor flock of seaguls, but a band that had significantly more influence during my teen years in Spain: Baron Rojo, meeetaaal foreveeeer!

    *crap, I just gave myself whiplash*
  • 05-06-2005
    canuck
    LOL!!!!

    I am definitely going to win the weirdest compilation award this go round!!!!
    That's what happens when you "buy" tracks instead of burning your own cds.....

    cool....did you know that a cd will actually fly an incredibly long way when tossed off the roof of a tall building, or frisbee'd out of a car window at freeway speed?

    Just finishing up my mix (burn tonight) , hop I’m not holding up the gang.It's an AM radio fundraiser drive from the mid 80’s if you donate over $100. You get a burlap grocery bag and coffee mug.Time to make some turns in some new fresh snow.

    Canuck- you can get the disks at most chain office supply stores, try Canadian Depot…..next to the birch bark and ash pencils or is that coal? :confused:

    I'll be the caboose.
    I haven't got to burning mine yet, what with all the preparations for the contest. But I know pretty much what's going to be on it, so hopefully can bust it out by the end of next week.

    I'm finally burning mine today, shipping tomorrow if all goes well. And yes, this is a special CD. I'll apologize now to anyone who is offended, annoyed, or otherwise emotionaly scarred by any, if not all, of the material I've included this time around.

    I already know that Canuck will be using my disc as a high-speed physics experiment from the sunroof of his yuppy SUV.:p
