MeFi Swap - how is it going? August 14, 2002 5:35 AM Subscribe
Can I just drop a quick post about MeFi swap? I know Dreama has a wonderful site devoted to the whole shebang, but i fancied the MeFi format to find out how it is going with people. Well?
hmm.. i have just posted one of mine. using the company to send locally, but I have to risk the post office tomorrow for the ones going to the states.
i have received a tape from anastasiav. some good stuff on there. nice to receive a present through the post!

I got mine from cyniczny, but no one else, and I haven't sent mine out yet, so I don't feel too bad, I'm so lazy.
It's cool, it's loaded with neat songs, I didn't count but I would have to guess it's well over 50. I'm doing pure audio though (I'm a purist) and it's full to 79 minutes and 22 seconds, but I spared my listeners and did not include any death metal or hardcore.

I sent my 5 out a couple of weeks ago (wasn't the deadline somewhere around August 1, kids?). Have only received 1, from pikachulolita (which is snazzycandycool!), and have some reason to believe no others have yet been exported. Sad day.
But I'm sure they'll arrive sooner or later! (Probably after I move at the end of August...)
Also, I was optimistically thinking that people would use MeFiSwapTalk to review the mixes they received (if they didn't email the sender directly), and was hoping to get some feedback - or at least to find out that my CD made it through the mail. So far, for my SwapGroup at least, that hasn't been the case. Isn't getting a response from people half the fun?

Yep, deadline tomorrow.
I'm in Marquis' group and received his, plus two others, so I have to imagine others are on their way to you, Sean. How much longer does mail to Canada take than mail across the country, I wonder? Also, I think all three of our group's slackers sent email this week apologizing for slowness and listing CDs received (pretty sure the Canadian post cannot be blamed if you didn't get *those* but then again maybe things are done differently up there).
I'm mailing mine today; shoulda put a Cure song on so I could call the mix "Procrastination Street".

Aw, SapphireBlue, I'm not really bitter. It's just annoying because I'm going away on vacation and then moving, and I was hoping to have CDs to listen to for the trip. That, and the fact that I've received 86% of the CDs from the other swap I'm in, which in fact started after the MeFi one.
And it seems I got the date wrong. I retract my complaints.

ack, to anyone who got me as their partner person, i sent mine out today... just got a new machine and i had a devil of a time trying to put the cd burner from my old one into the new comp. i ended up just paying someone to install it. my apologies for the delay, but all the CDs i got so far (2 cds from one person) have been godsends, considering i always need something new to listen to while working..

I got an e-mail last night, with an apology to a group of people for not getting his CDs out on time. Curiously, this was the first e-mail I received regarding the MeFi Swap II from anyone since my very first confirmation letter.
If anyone has me in their group, and would like a CD, contact me (I have a mix or two already made). After I got no e-mail with my list of people and addresses, and after there was no response to me on the bulletin board, I kinda gave up.

lotsofno - Looking forward to receiving your mix. That leaves 2 people from our group who should be sending something out. How about it guys?
Aside from the fact that half of our group is taking until the last possible minute to send the mixes, I've been very happy with the swap so far. The CDs I've gotten have been cool and filled with songs I've never heard and artists I've never heard of.
So far, the swap is confirming something that I've been saying for a while. There's so much good music out there, in so many styles and flavors, that no one can hope to be familiar with most of it. Anyone who makes blanket pronouncements about the state of the current music scene or who snobbishly touts the superiority of their own little preferred niche of the musical forest is just showing off their ignorance.
Based on the mixes I've gotten and the on-liner notes that a number of people have posted, I'd have to say that I'm familiar with no more than 5-10% of what other people are putting in their mixes. More importantly - none of those people are overlapping each other - every mix is completely different.
Marquis - I'm one of the few people to post reviews on Dreama's site for the mixes I've received. I think it's fun for even people in other swap groups to see what else was being sent.
BTW - If anyone from the other groups is wanting to receive more CDs than the ones from your group, e-mail me. I'm willing to burn off some more copies of my mix to trade for your mix.

To everyone who is expecting a CD from me, I apologize for being so late. I've just been swamped with a crapload of responsibilities this past month. Rest assured, I'm looking at the CDs right now. They will be mailed in two days. For everyone who has given me theirs, thanks, they sound interesting. I now have a rather odd collection of music, but entertaining nonetheless.

I didn't post reviews on Dreama's site, because I always figure it's nice to get email. It's a little more personal, though, for example, yhbc can't see what I have to say about tdismukes' CD.
Which, I have to say, is pretty good - a cappella stuff aside (I'm really trying, guys) - I've found that in my musical explorations I've neglected a decade (the 80s) and some excellent artists (Billy Bragg, Richard Thompson, Mission of Burma, Victor Krummenacher).
Thanks for both of them, guys. I've really enjoyed the experience.
And lotsofno: glad to hear it's on the way! I'm looking forward to receiving it.

Since our whole swapset appears to be here, I'll pipe up. Lotsofno: you should have received CDs from me, tdismukes and rocketman (who included a disc from interrobang). Have you not gotten them all?

I'm intrigued to know whether Salmacis sent a CD jam-packed with 70s prog to his swapset after all...?
was he really thinking of doing this? I'd love to see the tracklist. i'm a prog-rock fiend. I'd say about half the music on my swapset cd is modern progressive rock. (very different music than what's on the other cds that I've gotten) I can't wait to hear what they think of it...

heh. if it makes you feel any better, I did something like a 22-hour road-trip weekend before last, and at about 0.75 hours in, I smacked myself in the head for not having remembered to bring your mix (the only one I'd received to that point). had to content myself with stuff I've already heard a million times... it was that or Jesus AM. horrors!

Eventually, we should do a Mefi swap swap. Where we make a mix of songs from mixes we've received in swaps.

Sent 5 (including one overseas--cost me almost $5 postage) and got back 2.
Many thanks to those two. Both were packed wth great new music I'd never heard of before.
Lest I sound ungrateful, a 2 of 5 five ratio was good enuf that I'd gladly sign up again.

The Weakerthans boast some of the best songwriting in Canada - folk poetry over a bed of hooky roots-punk. Hooray for Canada. What's more, I believe the Greg Macpherson Band is opening on this tour... I've never seen him live, but Good Times Coming Back Again is an outstanding, outstanding album. [Self-link!]

It's a bit unnerving, sending them out. I'm not sure if anybody will like my selection, as I am a little behind the times (an old rock chick, me).

Hmm. I don't remember threatening to make a CD full of 70s prog. Maybe you're thinking of evanizer? I couldn't resist putting in some more modern neo-prog though: Arena, Marillion, Grey Lady Down. The likes of Echolyn, Porcupine Tree and Threshold will have to wait for MeFi Swap III (you are warned in advance!)
So far, I've received cortex's excellent CD, and I'm expecting Mars Saxman's any day now. The other three I've not heard from.

i've gotton one mix in return. it was amazing--i liked three of the songs so much i immediately purchased corresponding albums. i hear that two other mixes are in the mail winging their way here. i check the mailbox every day expectantly!
one real plus of this swap, even if i don't get another cd from it, is that this whole mix cd deal has sorta caught on at work. it's become cool to bring in a few copies of a mix cd and hand them out. as a result i've gotton five other mixes from work kids and made three others to give away in the meantime. hooray for new music!
also, "on-liner notes" are all the rage nowadays. just for kicks, here's the mix i put together

I'm flying to the US to post mine so I can be sure that they get there. Or, more truthfully, I'll post 'em in the US when I'm there next Fri ;-)
Danf: Sorry! I've been working 7 days a week for the past 2 months which has put a damper on my communications with the outside world - apart from my MeFi babblings of course...Got yours the day you sent the email altho' I haven't had a chance to listen to it. Or LoraT's. But I will be taking them on my trip. Dreama's was very good indeed...
Keep watching my 'blog for news [*blergh* I'm such a hit-whore]
BTW, I'm sending a copy of my MeFi I CD with my MeFi II's as a Brucie Bonus...

I'll definitely sign up again for the next one. But let's give this one a chance to wrap up first. A lot of stragglers are just now getting their mixes sent for the current swap.

Like me. Check your mail in a few days, tdismukes. Here's hoping you dig it.

Otherwise cool - received two (in a similar style). Both sound good, especially to the wife - who gives a big thumbs up.
I'm intrigued to know whether Salmacis sent a CD jam-packed with 70s prog to his swapset after all...?
