Swap cds, swap spit, swap partners. See if I care.

My CD isn't ready yet, I just wanted to post something in this thread.

So did I.

Fap.

Fapfapfap.

Bye!

My CD isn't ready yet either. I'll start on it either Sunday night or Monday. I'll try and make up for bad quality cover art with good quality music.

I'm still tracking down songs for mine.

what kind of music do u make ur own songs

Yes, we're all famous rock stars. I see you don't have a backstage pass. Let me call Guido to show you the door.

Stalled a bit on the CDs. I had a great tracklist for mine, and then I listened to it all the way and realized that people will probably fall asleep in the middle, so I'm searching for a few more songs to replace those.

Note to self: stay away from Petracovich from now on.

Should be sent out this coming week. I just need to figure out how fancy I want my cover art.

CDs have been sent. You lucky lucky people.

Just as soon as I throw the printer in the river so I can buy a new one, I'll get the art finished and can actually send off the CDs.

I gave Kramer's disc a whirl after work today--where does he get such wonderful music? KvK's cover art is the most distinguishable of any other swapper--I could have picked this one out of a line-up.

Oh, and that bastard stole a song I was going to put on my disc...track #19. Now I have to figure out what to replace it with.

Hey kramer, which address did you send the disc to? I hope it didn't involve Harney Street. I had already moved when this swap started, so I'm sure I gave choad the right address.

I just got Kramer's CD today. For some reason iTunes doesn't give me a tracklist, so if you could possibly PM me one or if Ivy doesn't mind you could just post one here, that'd be great. (this first track is tripping me out.)

I'll give Ivy a couple of days and then put a tracklist up. I like to keep the music secret to keep people on their toes (and also I tend to do the artwork before I've finalised the CD).

Hope you're all enjoying the disc. It's a bit pop-tastic, this one.

Got the disc today. I bet the carrier couldn't find Wyoming. That happens a lot.

Mine will be out this week. Since boorite's working now, I'll have less distractions and can focus on the printer issues.

Nice artwork btw

Um, so did y'all like it?

I am throwing the printer in the river once and for all.

On a side note, I got my old, much more reliable, and much bettar* printer hooked up. Which, in Windows, requires a blood sacrifice and lots of painstaking rituals. So maybe now I can get the damned thing printed and sent off.

*Bettar is bettar than better.

Kramer_vs_Kramer's CD Review:

Wow, 21 songs?! Well done. Loved the cover art, fit well after listening to the disc.

1. Richard Gibbs - This has got to be in an alien movie. That's all there is to say.

2. Evil Nine ft. Aesop Rock - At first, this was a weird, kind of bland rap, but with the introduction of a few cool effects it got groovy.

3. Kenickie - Kind of like The Distillers, only in the way that they both have a kind of punk, female lead singer. A lot better than the Distillers though. (I do have a bad ear when telling women from men in the vocals lately.. please correct me)

4. Jamie Lidell - This was a funky, jammy, awesome song. I danced and wished I could sing like this dude.

5. The Starlets - Sounds like an old, 50's, wall-of-sound Phil Spector band, but blues. Very cool, 'specially the harmonica.

6. TV on the Radio - Falsetto harmonizing with a fast metronome type beat.... the crazy type of cool.

7. Chicks on Speed ft. Peaches - A friend of mine and I like the Peaches song "Fuck the Pain Away." Ok, well, not really, but it is hilarious. This song is a little less vulgar but equally strange.

8. Patrick Wolf - The singing here was a little to moany for my taste, but the beat was extra cool in a "getting revenge" kind of way.

9. Annie - Techno-ey disco-ey happy nonos yay land 4eva.

10. Xiu Xiu - I have definitely heard this somewhere before. I can just imagine the singer's face.. waaaooohh wwaaa.

11. Clor - Kind of a classic rock-dance song, with very cool synth style effects. Liked it.

12. Whitey - Awesome band name. Awesome song. Period. Blood. Ew.

13. Guther - Very chill, laid-back, kind of taking it all in song. Liked very much.

14. Quintron & Miss Pussycat - This was a pretty all-over-the-place song, like something put behind an insane man's dream.

15. Clinic - What instrument is that on the bridges or chorus? Cool sound, unique sound.

16. Mazzy Star - Very chill again, almost saddening when the singing came in.

17. The Cramps - This song is awesome, chill and/or cool. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

18. Errors - My inner robot emerged whilst listening to this. And that robot never ran out of dance batteries.

19. Mulatu Astatke - I can see Choad putting this on his disc. Oh... he did! You beat him to it! I love the old sound with the new beat combo.

20. Gold Chains - i'm electric, motherfuckers. Awesome raprocktechno style, falling in line with most of the CD.

21. Dj/Rupture - Banjo? Doesn't get better. I sense you enjoy female singers, this must be of the cream of the crop.

5/5 for new music to cpausti's ears
4/5 for picking a ton of songs and me actually liking most of them

The comic on the back is ha-larious.

Amazing job putting so many songs together that fall into a category of music I can't think up a name for.

Rochno chill vibe.

No, really, I'll get on it as soon as I can, but this moving thing is becoming more of a pain in the ass than it needs to be, especially with the heat wave fucking things up.

Kramer, love the CD. I'd write something longer, but I have to cram two houses worth of furniture into half a house.

Woah, I'm online!

I have no excuse for not getting my CDs out, I'll try hard within the next week to do so.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one this time...

You two had better get a move on or I'm going to have to come round your houses and take my cds back.

My goal was to mail them today, but since I get to spend all day servicing a piece of shit computer, I'll have to wait til tomorrow. Provided the computer ever gets past 34%.

Oh, forgot to say. They were mailed.

Mine arrived today, so I've cancelled my flight to Wyoming. You can sleep easy in your bed now.

Let me know when you want to fly to cpausti's place. My calendar is clear.

I was making the cover art using a random program I had on my computer, and all of the sudden the text disappeared and it froze. So, you'll be getting a nice and generic SonicNow! made cover! Yay! I got Ivy's a while ago, but I'm way too lazy to review 40 songs tonight. I apologize for taking so long, I guess it's evening out with my 2 week send out from last swap.

Sent! Kramer's might be returned, the employee didn't make me sign anything for the overseas jazz.

They probably thought it was a suburb of Chicago.

Got cpausti's CD today. Will give a listen today and I'll go over kramer's again.

I got CP's today. Black Betty!
