So, the deadline for this rounds MefiSwap was last Saturday, time to mail them out you slowpokes.

And don't forget to post in the MeFiSwap Forums when you've sent/received mixes.

I just e-mailed the rest of the set members when I sent mine out. Didn't even think of the forums until now.

Yeah forumswhut? We Pavanites have been shaking the old email thing forever.

I suck. I'll send mine out tonight. I have the mix made. Just a matter of burning and mailing.

If anyone cares to listen to any of my mixes, i have a few on my virb page.

Mine went out on Friday. Yeah, that's Brad Sucks on there. I don't apologize.

Mine are going out late but will be super-sized. I emailed folks in my swapsets already.

I'm a slow-poke.

And a jerk.

I mailed mine yesterday after I got back from a nine day trip. That's like almost early!

I'd like to start a MetaTalk thread next week where everyone can list their tracks for their mixes. I thought it would be a cool idea to for everyone involved to see what everyone else did. Anyone interested in that idea? I didn't want to do it now because part of what I like about the swap is the surprise of seeing what's on each disc as they come in and I don't want to ruin that for people.

And to stick to the topic, mine were mailed last week (swapset homophony). I received two so far: one from misteraitch and one from a user who did not identify him/herself.

I really tried to get them out yesterday. Why post office close at 5 o'clock, I will never know. They will go out today. In the future, I will suggest that the deadline be a Monday so that people can use the whole weekend.

By: Plutor

Plutor — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:02:23 -0800

There was also a weekend before the deadline.

By: 23skidoo

23skidoo — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:09:58 -0800

You don't say! Well as long as weekends exist, I guess there's no sense in trying to minimize the number of late-senders my moving the last minute to a day when most people traditionally have off.

Kattullus — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 09:44:30 -0800

I sent mine yesterday. I've received 3 (in Swapset Forte). This was the second batch I'd cooked up as I lost the first set of CDs on a bus (along with $50 worth of library books... stupid stupid stupid... 20 years I've had library cards, so I guess it was about time I lost some books).

Huh, didn't even know about the forums.

Yeah, it's not exactly been a hive of activity. I think this might be related to the fact that it's only linked once from the 'Swapset' page and not mentioned anywhere else on the site.

The last time I participated, though, a few years back, it was the main place for discussing mixes and posting sent/received notices. I assumed the intention was for the same to be true this time.

Okay, I'm an asshole. Mix done. Must burn. I got a good mix from dogwalker and someone who didn't sign their mix, but it was very good.

You're in group Forte yodelingisfun, and I dug your mix.

No I'm not stalking you, just happened to be looking at the group right this instant to see who sent that mix...

Spicynuts, I gave yours to a whale in the Gowanus canal, to deliver in person -- have you heard from him yet?

Also, someone had "Puddle Splashers" by Cap'n Jazz on their mix. It deflated my precious belief that I was the only person that knew of the existence/awesomeness of that song.

Some day, I'll use this as a launching point to tell the story of the time the band I was in opened for another Tim Kinsella band.

By: yodelingisfun

yodelingisfun — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 13:50:49 -0800

yeah I have to say I loved the mixes this year, thanks!

Sorry to ruin it further for you, drezdn, but Analphabetapolathology is one of the best albums ever.

Gavotte is representing pretty well. I've gotten 3 so far. I think I was the only person at the Post Office on Tax Day NOT sending something to the IRS.

I got one of mine a couple weeks ago. I will be sending mine out at some point... sorry swapset.

That was me. I'm a Kinsella fan... what can I say? Swapset Forte. I've received four. Just waiting on Kattullus, but now that's totally understood. Sorry you lost your stuff!

I sent mine out on the deadline, the 21st, and it appears that people have received it already. I haven't had any time to listen to the mixes yet, but I'm really exciiiiited.

By: defenestration

defenestration — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 05:23:48 -0800

What I forgot to include is that I almost put Letters And Packages by American Football on there too, but opted not to. I figured perhaps someone would think the Kinsellas were paying me for some obscure kind of promotion.

Anyway. Cap'n Jazz was great. And that's their best song.

Yeah I got it but unfortunately it was so covered in Gowanus slop that I couldn't play it. It's ok though cuz me and the whale scored an 8 ball and some Ukrainian whores and tore shit up. I think he may have had a bad reaction though..he told me he'd call and I haven't heard anything.

Sent out my mixes to Koto a week ago, but only emailed my swapset, as I didn't know about the forums.

By: dogwalker

dogwalker — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 09:47:05 -0800

Yeah, I sent mine out awhile ago and couldn't figure out how to post a notice thing in the forum thing. I was just going to send an email but then I was detached from the interweb (and the world in general) for some time since then, and totally forgot. So everybody in intermezzo should've received mine by now.

And I got three yesterday, which I think is everybody who's sent them so far.

By: arcticwoman

arcticwoman — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 10:56:13 -0800

Mine are mixed and burned, but not yet sent. I got stalled on the album art, but I think I'm just going to give up and get them sent sans-art.

Ooh! Ooh! I sent mine out a few weeks ago and have been waiiiiiting for this thread to show off my liner notes. I've only gotten one mix, though, but I eagerly await the other four.

By: Julnyes

Julnyes — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 21:23:37 -0800

didn't see that forum before - my two groups were handled via email.

I've sent out my mixes - which I am still learning how to do - ha ha test subjects!

I didn't sign up for the swap this time around, did I? I remember thinking about it, but don't remember if I actually got around to signing up...

By: defenestration

defenestration — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 11:10:32 -0800

Hmm, I've received six mixes. Swapset Forte. One with no return address. I guess I'll just consider myself lucky.

By: advil

advil — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 18:46:55 -0800

One with no return address.

Did this mix say "please enjoy"? Because I got that too, and I noticed people from several other swapsets had reported it as well.

By: EarBucket

EarBucket — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 04:53:48 -0800

I got the "Please Enjoy" CD too, in swapset Koto.

By: jessamyn

jessamyn — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 07:35:04 -0800

I listend to the Please Enjoy set yesterday and it's quite good. The Angel themed one from Swapset Baroque is also great and those are the only two I've gotten so far.

By: goodnewsfortheinsane

goodnewsfortheinsane — Tue, 01 May 2007 08:21:56 -0800

I got the "Please Enjoy" one as well (Baroque group), in a quite pretty envelope postmarked San Francisco. So who was it from?

Mine are in the mail to my baroque buddies as of today.

By: Julnyes

Julnyes — Tue, 01 May 2007 21:18:29 -0800

so does anyone know who "Please Enjoy" is? I got a copy as well (Swapsets Pavane and Quadrivium)

CDs are so last decade. Wouldn't it be cool if there was a private Metafilter torrent site? No transcodes!
