    CDs away!...

    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?

    What? No Air Supply this go round?!

    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.

    Terrific!

    Now I'll have something to listen to while I burn my CDs.

    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...

    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.

    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!

    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?

    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? Wait, you're probably not downloading Metallica or Brittany Spears so you should be safe. Or are you?

    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.

    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!

    (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!

    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?

    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.

    Cds ready to fly!

    Hello guys, gals, assorted misfits, an update on my life at this point...

    MyCDs are finally burned and packaged, ready to go over the pond. I am happy to see that I am not the last one to contribute (As I had anticipated I would) and that I have burned a fine Canuckie CD it seems: some beat, some eighties, and no Jack Johnson, but someone I like much better: Bright eyes, and Citizen Cope. All in all, its pretty relaxed and melancholy, which means I must be turning into an old broad....ohoh...

    I m sorry I havent been around, life has just decided to throw me into a whirlpool of things, happening all at once. After the good news of new studio, new gallery, taking me to Köln this year, for which Ill have to work my ass off this summer, we went on and bid for a house. Finally! Due to 30 years of socialist government (it does have its perks) we could go on buying a house without the help of my dad, as the dutch government (Yes, they are the only government crazy enough to do that) pays back the rent paid on mortgages for the not so wealthy. But now it seems some old score is haunting my ass, as I cant get a mortgage right away before that is settled. Apparently, not even socialists are that crazy! In between, my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer, had an operation to take one breast away, after which I came to her house to help her out with washing and cleaning and clothing herself, and hugging her every half hour. (And watching that she didnt start smoking, at which I utterly failed) She was three weeks later diagnosed (Thank God) as cancer free, as they didnt find any cancer cells in the lymph nodes they also took out. That happened the same day I was diagnosed with womb cancer, for which I'll have an operation to take it out next week, the 25th. (After that I will be fine: its a very benign - for as much as that word applies - and very slow growing, slow spreading cancer. Recovery rates are at 95%) Ill have to have sent my entries for a grant I am battling for at the 27th. And settle the dispute about the mortgage before the first of june. Busy, busy, busy times.

    So you see, I have got an alibi to be late with the swap, I really do!
    (Andboy, have I been wishing lately to escape it all, drive to the alps and just ride, ride, ride, and just not think about anything!)

    Wow CC, that is enough for one lifetime!...

    I hope your mom and you make a full recovery. Breast cancer treatment is quite good these days.

    You'll be so excited with your house. Nothing like waking up on a lazy Saturday morning only to realize you have a ton of yardwork to do.

    Gook luck with the studio and the show. We all know you'll be great!

    Honey...

    I don't even know what to say... all that sounds pretty overwhelming. I am glad your mom is getting better, and that you have been diagnosed early, that is a major element in recovery success. In a minor way, our lives seem to have taken a certain tangency, in March, I had to undergo a biopsy for melanoma (you know, beach bum cancer ), but luckily it was benign as well. Last week, I was told my beloved grandma Pepa, a totally bad-ass lady, has been diagnosed with breast cancer, this has caused some tension with my dad, who doesn't wan't to tell her about the diagnosis and just let her pass naturaly. Sure, she's 92, but she's not senile, she's sharp as a nail, and I believe that a woman who survived civil war, dictatorship, and worked hard all her life, should be given the information pertaining to her health so that she can decide, if she wants treatment or not. But anyway, every year (since my favourite aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer), I participate in some kind of cancer research fundraiser, whether it's been "Boarding for Breast Cancer", "Triathlon for a Cure"... so last month I entered "Climb for Life", a rock climbing fundraiser for ovarian cancer research... gotta say, kicked my own ass in the process, hopefully will help out other women in your situation baby, and improve your revory chances from 95 to 100%. Much strength and love your way!

    As for the Cds, I am eagerly awaiting your contribution, gotta e-mail you a video clip of Bright Eyes performing "when the president talks to god" which was pretty awesome. There are several tracks/artists in my mix that were put in there specially for you, see if you can identify them... ;)

    Congratulations on the other developments in your life, home ownership, exhibit in Koln... maybe you and your beau, should come and celebrate your wedding in Spain! I'll put the bachelorette party

    Almost there!

    had major technical difficulties lately, not to mention being swamped with putting on the event. Work computer stopped working with Rhapsody, 2 home computers refuse to enjoy the wonders of the internet, and then my laptop decided it didn't like it's power source being left out in the rain.

    but I have a backup plan, so should have them out asap.

    stu-pid.
