Money covers postage costs. I checked how all the currencies check out and they're roughly equal.

PM me for my address, or any other details you may need. Have fun. Please have the tapes finished and sent out by the end of November.

Okay, I fixed it. Sorry for the confusion. I am in also. Two people. Awesome.

Three, if you're including me. Which you should, on account of my wanting to be in.

I'll be in if I have time, which may be an issue this time around. But I will definitely try.

Good, good. Ah, I see Peppermint Patty is winning. Good for her.

That's not entirely true, in the strictest sense of the word 'winning'.

I should be able to take part...

ok, im in again for this. ill do mine over weekend probably!

Looks like it'll be a small one this month. So far we have:

Danny Himself (duh)
Bytor Peltor
Glice
PaulieBee2656

And several others who we'll find out from soon enough. Oh well- less work on my part. :]

I'll do it if I still can.

e-mail me, Danny.

I think, if you're going to refer to yourself in the third person, you should be saying 'Danny Himself, himself (myself)'.

I should never have chosen such a confusing forum name. Anyway, I emailed youat your hotmail account, Hayden.

assuming i don't forget to send my tape, which i almost certainly will, i am in for this round.

OH, I'm in Danny.

Also, I've just read your PM from a few weeks ago!! I was not ignoring, but some how I passed it up. Sorry. Your idea sounds like a good one, I'll be in charge of the next Mix Tape swap, if thats ok with everyone else.

Danny, I'll be working on a tape and will let you know by November 30th if I've sent it or not.

Hayden, you ALWAYS say you're making a tape.

Count me in

i was going to get involved in the last one but something happened to the mix master. cheers for starting it back up Danny.
Ive just finished a tape, just need to do the artwork. ill PM you for the details soon, if thats ok

Okay so now we have (kinda):
Danny Himself (duh)
Bytor Peltor
Glice
PaulieBee2656

finding nobody

just done mine. printing off cover right now. ill send it off tomorrow.......

Ah good. I've always wondered, what are the dimensions for a tape cover?

4 and a bit inches by 2 and half or so inches.

I always found it hard to print covers out without them being automatically cropped and resized somehow.

i just guess the size on a word document . half the width of a cd cover and slightly shorter.............

prittstick is yr best friend tho...
my tape is winging its way to merseyside right now......

i know i'm no veteran on these forums but i'll do one all the same. there's a bit of tape love for everyone (so open yr analogue heart!!!!)
what sort of stuff is everyone putting on theirs? not sure if i should go for a noise explosion tape or for a more subdued type theme.
do we get to choose who they are for, or is it all upto danny himself?

It's up to me, but I'll see that each person gets a tape that suits them, but opens them up to new things.

In reply to racehorse:

Inaugural Mix Tapes thread Mix Tapes Round 2 Round 3 Round 4 Poll on Mix Tapes

So you can get an idea. It occurs to me that including 3 & 4 is pretty pointless as, so far as I know, these rounds haven't arrived yet. I can't remember if there are any reviews in those threads, but you can probably get an idea of the sort of thing that people are doing.

hey racehorse. put what the fuck you want on em. isnt that the whole point?
mixtape making is a totally selfish excercise. "this is the music i like, now you listen to it and deal with it...here it is packaged up with a ribbon on it, go on listen!!!"... yknow what im saying...................

Rock the fuck on. And thanks, Glice.

I was thinking of piling on cheesy christmas songs this month, but I decided not to.

10 days
left to get it sent away!

I'm doing it this evening. I've got a stereo on loan at the moment, which means I can do an all-vinyl mix-tape, the previous ones being largely recorded from CDs or tapes. So that's something for someone to look forward to.

Ah, yes. I was doing mine earlier and was surprised to find myself putting John Fogerty on it.

My dad played Fogerty's album Centerfield non-stop when I was a kid

My mixtape is, officially, finished. It's brilliant, and entirely vinyl. Whoever recieves it is either going to cherish it with all of their heart or hate it for all eternity. I'm quite pleased with the artwork as well.

Lovely!

Well, come on, get it send off.

At five-to-eleven at night?

Well, fine, get in the second-hand Astra and deliver it to me personally.

I recieved your tape today, Paulybee. Very nice!

I need to hurry it up and send it

Only
7 days
left now, kids.
