Whisper sweet nothings to each other here.

I'm sending you all CD cases filled with dog shit.

pick a number between 1 and 4. 

i want your own personal amusement one! haHA!

(unless it's also filled with dogshit)

I want 2.

Wait! 3.

No, no, no.... definately 1.

The blue wire. CUT THE BLUE WIRE!

Ok. Mine are all done, and I'm sending them out tomorrow. If you don't like the music, I'm sure you can appreciate the attention to detail that went into case design and packaging.

All shipped out. I didn't include any playlists, as it looked like it was more of a surprise that way. I was going to post them.

Here it is. Don't peek if you don't want to know.

Hmm, there may be some overlap between our mixes there, Finn.

Also, I went to school with one of the artists on one of Finn's mixes.

Wow. I've heard of two of those 24 artists. This should be nifty.

You guys get your CDs yet? I don't know about the trans-Atlantic shipment, but I'm guessing the other two should be there by now.

Yep, got yours on Tuesday, but not had time to listen to them yet.

Awesome! You start having respiratory problems yet?

18.cornelius - “count 5 or 6”

I almost put that on the mix I'm working on. I chose another tune from the same CD.

yup mine got here. great covers. maybe could have used a tracklist, but i'll settle for the copious amounts of dog funk currently staining my captain and tennille throw rug

music looks great but i'm not letting myself listen to it till i get mine done and put in the mail. they're coming along pretty good. i just need to drop by kinkos to make the covers, then mail them, then pooper scoop the dog raunch into little bags and set them all alight on wirthling's doorstep.

I just re-read your tracklists and I'm also including a Grandaddy song from this same album on my disc. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

You'll find out which Grandaddy and Cornelius song when I post my track list.

as choad would say, "mine is in the mail"

below is a copy of my tracklist, don't look if you want to be surprised, don't want to know the theme of the cd, are pregnant, have a heart condition, or have a weak stream

a full transcription :

 "Dear Kevin Smith,

I am an 8-year-old at Roosevelt Elementary (Mrs. Fleming's class. We call ourselves the Flemingos. We get beat up a lot.)

I enjoy soccer, drawing, dora the explorer, and not getting beaten up. For a class assignment, we had to pick a cebrelity and write to them. I picked you because I liked "An Evening with Kevin Smith" 1 & 2. Also because your last name is easier to spell than Affluckk. 

I even included a music cd of songs from internet flash movies. It's so great! Like 100 times better than being beaten with a Math book, believe you me!

Anyway, I have to go. Class bell's about to ring so I need to change into my running shops shoes

Hope you enjoy your cd.

Sincerely, Little Manny Dingo"

best package i've gotten yet! 

yay! i'm glad you liked it :D

I'm afraid I'm being horribly indecisive over the running order for the CD. I should just put it on random and have done with it.

or you could go down to the veteran hospital and pin the track names to a bunch of vets then have them wrastle for dominance

and i've been listening to gabe's cds all day. good stuff. like the ones i'd already heard and digging on the new ones i hadn't, like Tupelo Honey and Love is a Rose. still hate gabe though. hate hate hate

Have the subliminal messages gotten to you too yet?

maybe a little cause i planned to type hate 189 times in the above message, but for some reason settled for the kindler gentler 3. who's the artist on finn's list you went to school with btw?

Mandingo's CD made my ears bleed.

Mine are getting posted today! Woo!

That's been over a week. Has everyone got it?

I got yours yesterday, but I haven't listened to it yet because I fear the unknown.

Perhaps this might help then:

2. The Hold Steady - Stuck Between Stations
3. Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill
