SCD Mixtape

[Trollheart]

I know we did this back on MB and it had limited success, but wonder if anyone here is interested in resurrecting the idea?

Basically, for those who don't know, everyone submits ONE track for the mixtape - any artist, any genre - and the mixtape is compiled. Could have six tracks, could have ten, depends on who's interested. Over the course of two weeks/a month/whatever is decided everyone listens to all the tracks and then gives a brief review/impression of them.

Tracks used to be sent by PM to whomever was assembling the mixtape, so if anyone's interested I guess that would be me. I would imagine YouTube links would be fine, and it could be compiled into a YouTube playlist.

Anyway, if there's anyone thinks this might be a good idea, post here and let me know.
I won't hold my breath.

I'd be down if we get more buy in from others. Hopefully at least 6.

[Lisnaholic]

Yep, I'd be down for that too, if you don't mind doing the collating work TH. I remember contributing to a couple of the MB ones, and it was a nice excuse to chat about music.

[Lexi Darling]

I'm down! Maybe it would be a fun idea to give some kind of prompt for a consistent theme throughout the tracks. Just like a loose theme or mood, nothing super specific or genre-focused. Would certainly help me narrow things down more than just picking a song I like with no real direction. What do we all think?

In

[Trollheart]

Thanks guys. That's five of us, so just one more and we'll be on.
As for themes, I don't know: sometimes people don't like if it's restricted. What do people think? Perhaps a nice theme could be, um, music played on an instrument?
I'll go with majority opinion as usual, so let me know and we can start putting this together. I think even if we don't get our sixth, five is a decent number.

Maybe go for starting it at the beginning of next month, as we're halfway through this one? That would also give others time to join in if they want.

Any comments gratefully thrown in the bin and then into the incinerator I mean gratefully received.

And then thrown into the bin and then the incinerator.

Yep, I think a theme for each mixtape would be best - but with the genre wide open, so there's a variety of styles/interpretations of the theme. To give a couple of examples, the themes I remember from MB were Autumn, Minimal, and Down and Out.

[Trollheart]

Maybe in keeping with this being a new year, the theme could be "new"?
Or we could do cities/state/countries
Or animals
Or weather

There's four options there. Maybe I'll do a poll.
Hmm...

[Trollheart]

Okay done. You can now vote for your favourite theme, or suggest one of your own. The poll will close in a week, surely enough time to settle on one and then there'll be another week for people to select their song for the mixtape.

Recommending a theme of just share a track you like that others might like

[Trollheart]

Kind of what I said: don't restrict it by themes. But as ever, majority rules so whatever.

[degrassi.knoll]

Malicious compliance, my dude

[DJChameleon]

I voted for animals theme but will go along with whatever the consensus decides.
