Metafilter Mix CD Swap: Best of 2007 Edition Tracklists

ND¢ — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 08:37:38 -0800

A little over two months ago, I proposed a Metafilter Mix CD Swap: Best of 2007 Edition. Twenty-three people decided to participate and swapped CDs containing their favorite songs from 2007. In that thread it was suggested that after the swap concluded “yall make a thread with your final tracklists and commentary, or otherwise publish them where I and others could read and DL accordingly.” Of the twenty-three participants, seventeen decided to share their tracklists, which you will find inside. Rock on. Below are the tracklists as sent in by the mix CD creators in no particular order. flightless bird, american mouth (iron and wine) shift [alternate version] (grizzly bear) please be patient with me (wilco) staralfur [acoustic] (sigur ros) weighty ghost (wintersleep) the magic position (patrick wolf) the well and the lighthouse (arcade fire) jigsaw falling into place (radiohead) unless it's kicks (okkervil river) take me to the riot (stars) you got yr cherry bomb (spoon) typical (mute math) the year before the year 2000 (les savy fav) the universe!

The AskMe guidelines make a simple-sounding request: 'Please avoid "help me name my kitten/computer/website" and "help me make a mix CD" questions.' But these kinds of questions are posted fairly frequently, and seldom seem to be deleted. How many of these kinds of questions are posted, and what proportion of those are removed? If the guideline isn't being enforced because people love the name-my-whatever questions, maybe it would be better to just get rid of the guideline. Alternately, if the guideline is to remain, maybe it would be better to make it more prominent, and/or to delete a larger proportion of the questions which break it.

Are these an acceptable use of Ask.me or not?

I'd love to help you name your cat, and I'd love to help you name your baked goods. BUT - Please avoid "help me name my kitten/computer/website" and "help me make a mix CD" questions. Why do we want to avoid these kind of questions? Are these an acceptable use of Ask.me or not?

What happened to the CD exchange?

MeFi CD Mix Exchange... please let me know if this is an inappropriate place for this question. A while back there was a sign up for a MeFi CD Exchange. I haven't heard anything about it again. Any idea if this was legitimate and is still going on?
