Winter MeFiSwap!

carsonb — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:23:58 -0800

You listen to good music. You pick some of it out, and you put it in a certain order, and you listen to your mix all the time. It's good! It sounds good, too good to keep to yourself. So you burn 5 copies of your mix to CD and you put 'em in the mail. Soon 5 different discs containing 5 different mixes from 5 other people appear in your mailbox, and this is good because you're tired of listening to the mix you made and some new tunes from cool MeFites is just the right thing.
MeFi Swap Winter 2009 is open for sign-ups. To sign up, send me an email containing your MeFi username and your mailing address. tediseasy [at] gmail [doot] com. I think these work best if some guidelines are set out right at the beginning:

We usually swap music CD-Rs. If you want to swap data discs or tapes or something and enough are interested, I can set up a side-swap.
If you signed up to participate last time but didn't mail out your mix, you are not invited to swap again. Maximum pukka is attained through 100% participation. If you sign up to participate this time, do so with the full intention of mailing out at least 5 mix CDs. You may be asked to mail overseas (and if you live outside the USA, you will most definitely be asked to mail packages to foreign countries). Communication is important so if you can't get your mixes out by the deadline (see below), let me or the other members of your swapset know.
Deadlines, here's some schedule:
Sign-ups close Sunday, December 20th, 2009.
Swapset assignments will go out shortly thereafter.
The mailing deadline is pretty far off, considering the holiday season and general craziness: Saturday, January 23rd, 2010
If you would like to be in two swapsets (mailing 10 copies of your mix out) or if you have any other specific requests or restraints, please include them in your sign-up email.

MeFiSwap Summer 09 Mailing Deadline Reminder - Aug 15!

carsonb — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 17:45:23 -0800

MeFiSwap Summer '09 reminder thread — Mailing deadline is Saturday, August 15! Hey swappers! This is just a friendly reminder from your local swap organizer that mixes need to be mailed out no later than August 15. (You should also have a fresh email reminder from me...my last group communique until next swap.) If for whatever reason you can't make that deadline, please either email your swapset to let them know or alert me so I can pass on the news. I know I don't need to remind you that flakers are derided and loathed to the extreme. Questions? I'll be around this thread to answer them, or send them in via email. My email address is in my profile.

MeFiSwap Summer 2009

carsonb — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 08:09:43 -0800

MeFiSwap Summer '09
Believe it or not, it's been about that long. Let's mail each other good music. I think these work best if some guidelines are set out right at the beginning:

Email me at tediseasy asper@nd gmail stop. com if you would like to participate. Please include your mailing address and your username. If you would prefer not to use email, memail me. However, things are much simpler from an organizational standpoint if I can use the robust features afforded by email rather than barebones memail, so email is preferred.
Sign-up deadline is 2 weeks from today, July 12th.
If there's enough interest, I'd be happy to set up side swaps for tapes or whatever (how many of you cut vinyl?), but let's stick to swapping CDs for the most part and mixes of music for sure (not teddy bears or tshirts or wevs).
If you signed up to participate last time but didn't mail out your mix, you are not invited to swap again. If you sign up to participate this time, do so with the full intention of mailing out at least 5 mix CDs. You may be asked to mail overseas (and if you live outside the USA, you will most definitely be asked to mail packages to foreign countries). Communication is important; if you can't get your mixes out by the deadline (see below), let me or the other members of your swapset know.
Once sign-ups are closed, everyone will be broken up into swapsets. Swapsets are ideally 6 members big, so each swapper will mail out 5 copies of their mix. If you're in the mood to mail out more (and receive more in return!), lemme know in the email.
There's generally a deadline set for mailing swaps out, so let's set that to Saturday, August 15th.

As usual, I feel like I'm leaving a lot out of this, so if you have any questions I'll be skulking around here all day and/or email me.

CD Swap Reminder - Jan. 20!

carsonb — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:55:52 -0800

MeFi Winter CD Swap reminder!
Hey swappers, the deadline to mail your mixes is one week from today, January 20th. If you can't mail out by next Monday, please let the rest of your swapset know. I am willing to pass on any messages as well. My own mix is just about finished; as soon as it's unleashed upon my fakebandmates I'll post a link here to a digital copy (for anyone who didn't/couldn't participate but still sorta wants to).

MeFiSwap 2008

carsonb — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 10:06:39 -0800

Hey, anybody wanna swap Muxtapes? ...Oh.
Well, how about another MeFi CD swap? It's been a while since we've mailed each other shiny discs of mix, and I'm itching for that wonderful feeling at the mailbox. (Plus, thanks to AskMe my digital music collection is finally all in one place and organized!) So let's swap. Last year 'round this time ND¢ proposed a swap twisted to only include music from 2007 (The Best of 2007). I'd like to go back to a free-for-all this time around. Swappers have been consistently impressive over the years when coming up with their own mix themes, and I figure Best of 2008 is still applicable if you want; it's just not required. Send the music you're listening to, and the music you love. A couple of questions come up every time. Who's organizing? I would be happy to, though I can't promise Dreama-level organization. I'll probably just keep track of everything on paper and email swap sets out. Sets are ideally six people big (everyone sends out 5 discs). International swappers will probably be mailing to the USA. I'm kind of excited about organizing this, having participated over the past 5 or 6 years, but if anyone else has a burning desire to step up and put everything together, that's fine. What do I send? Generally I've received single CD mixes in slimline jewel cases. Liner notes have ranged from nothing at all through single-page hand-written tracklist all the way to elaborately designed liner booklets. They usually come in padded mailers. Can we trade tapes instead of CDs? It's a CD swap. I suppose if five or six people pipe up wanting to trade tapes they could be a separate group, but I'd prefer we stick to burned CDs. What about digital mixes? Why don't we just leave the dirty, expensive hassle of snail mail and send each other archive folders? My main reason for wanting to keep it dirty is sentimental: I love getting mail. Even more, I love getting mail with music CDs inside. One thing that worked really well last year was to have a follow-up thread where everyone who mailed discs posted their tracklists and maybe a link to that downloadable archive of the mix. People who don't want to (or can't) swap via mail can still join in at the end. How come I didn't get mixes from everybody in my group? It happens sometimes, for whatever reason, that not all the mixes make it out. It's sad, it's disappointing, and it's a risk you take by participating. People flake, forget, or simply can't get life out of the way long enough to mail strangers music. So I'm doing a cursory reading back through old swap threads; as usual the people who didn't send out mixes after saying they would in the past won't be in this swap. Is there a deadline? I suggest a couple deadlines. First, swap sets will be determined and mailed out by December 1st. That leaves 3 weeks for interested parties to sign up. Then how about January 20th, Inauguration Day, for a mailing deadline? That give about a month and a half to get 'em together and out into the world. This looks like the longest thing I've written on MeFi, so I'll stop now. Suggestions? Still interested? Who's up for some new music?

Hipsterific happiness

Helga-woo — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:40:14 -0800

Better late than never: This is a post to say thank you to 1f2frfbf for organising the inaugural Mefi Button Swap, and to share the spoils of said swap. My little parcel of fun arrived over a month ago, but I've been so caught up in a new, proper, pays me real money job, that I hadn't had time to think much about it. And then I realised that there hadn't been a follow up post here, big bad. The fridge magnet with cooking conversions was particularly timely, even more so as my house has just inherited a breadmaker minus the instruction manual, and being a bit out with your cup can be the difference between mmm tasty fresh bread and oh! no! yeast monster is invading the kitchen. I also love the I <3 Wilderbeast and the sparkly bits to stick on things. Also, I now own a fridge magnet of a rabbit with a pancake on it's head. Good times. My own contribution to the swap were some London tube map badges I made. I probably should have blogged the whole making of process, but I don't have a blog and my digital camera is refusing to do anything except take photos, and I left the whole making of until the very last minute and didn't really have time to faff about. So big thanks to 1f2frfbf for organising the whole shebang, including putting up with flaky Brits who get distracted by new jobs. I for one will be looking forward to other crafty/interesting Mefi swaps in the future.

Is it time for MetaFilter consignment?

Plutor — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 06:23:29 -0800

I know a MetaFilter swapsite or Craigslist-y thing has been suggested before, but now that I have a thing burning a hole in my pocket that I'd like to give to an interested local Mefite -- like, today -- I'm wondering if it's time. I'd like to sell or give away things to you, and I'd like to buy stuff, too. I'm pretty sure that we could do some really interesting things with this, like what Miko did with her $9 something offer.

Tiny packages of hipsterific happy.

1f2frfbf — Tue, 20 May 2008 08:44:02 -0800

We all need hugs, it's true. But until we figure out a way to mail them, who'd be up for a sticker and/or button swap? Surely there's enough creative people on this board with their own customized stuff that want to trade with other crazies to decorate laptops, instrument cases, jackets or bags. Any advice for smooth running of said swap is also welcome.

drea — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 07:32:42 -0800

Inspired by this AskMeFi, it might be a good idea that we mail each other some hometown-inspired packages of our own. yes/no?

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.

Shirt Swap?

furtive — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 07:10:13 -0800

My MetaFilter shirt just arrived and boy is an American "large" ever big compared to my Canadian frame. Does anyone have a "medium" that's too tight for them that they'd like to swap?

Thanks, I enjoyed it. Now who are you?

Mefi Swap 2006 : Come on. You need to send out your CDs already. I participated in two groups this time around, and sent out 10 cds. I've received only 4. This isn't an election where that sort of return rate is acceptable. Get off your lazy ass and fulfill your commitment.

Swapping on MeFi

evariste — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 22:21:12 -0800

Feature request: I want swap.metafilter.com. I really want to unload my junk on my fellow MeFites, and buy their junk off them. Please, Matt? Craigslist and eBay don't require a 5-spot to join, unlike MeFi, so that cuts down dramatically on the skeezy lowlife scammer factor. Another advantage is that this place is a real community and people care about their reputations. The community self-policing is strong, and MeFi's full of interesting people with (most likely) compelling junk they want to get rid of. One man's junk is another man's treasure.

Also, people here are really creative. Wouldn't it be cool if Miguel could sell his books here, for instance? Or Steven Den Beste could trade anime with other otaku. MeFites who are painters could sell their paintings. Sculpture. And so on.

What happened to the latest MeFi CD Swap?

bjork24 — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 19:08:28 -0800

Does anyone have info about the latest, greatest MeFi swap? There hasn't been any new updates on their site, and the "sending of the swapsets" date has come and gone. What gives?

mefi cd swap - worth the wait

Brandon Blatcher — Tue, 09 May 2006 18:36:25 -0800

How about a round of applause for skygazer, missing member of mefi swapset grey from 11/05 who not only finally sent along the CDs, but included a short handwritten note, a tiny toy gun, an even smaller piece of black licorice, a guitar string, and a particularly meaningful (to me at least) blank postcard of early concept designs of the space shuttle.

All of this arrived in the mail in the midst of particularly bad week, so to receive a bit of human sharedness and new music to discover from a total stranger was great. My faith in mefi and humanity is restored. Thank you.

Opinions on MefiSwap (music)?

Dreama — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 15:42:00 -0800

Voice your opinion on the future of the MeFiSwap. Or at least the MeFiSwap as I've got a hand in it. If you've been a part in the past, if you want to be a part in the future, if you've just got a thought you want to share, here's an opportunity.
