New Wave Outpost Forum

Every few months I get a CD-R in the mail from a high school friend who lives overseas. He’s heavily into music and feels the need to let me hear his latest discoveries (although I could have done without the Tuvan throat singing or some of the tedious jam bands.) I really enjoy a lot of the stuff he sends me.

So I was thinking.........

Would anyone be interested in a CD-R exchange program? (Oh God, just one person please say yes or I’ll feel like a total jackass.) Just reply to this post that you would like to take part, pick a name or names from the list, exchange mailing addresses by email and trade mixtapes....er, mixCD-Rs. I think it’s worth the cost of a blank CD and about 80 cents postage to hear what kind of musical goodies you have to share.
I'm guessing most of us here would be open to all types of music that fall under the “alternative” genre--new wave, punk, post-punk, power pop, industrial, etc etc etc but I’m willing to be surprised by whatever is sent my way.

Any questions or logistical things I might have missed?

PS Don’t forget tracklistings!!

I'm in. Email me your address. I'd love to exchange. Is MP3 format ok?

Grand idea, I'm in!

That does sound like a good idea. I'd participate.

I'd love to but as of right now I don't have the time to compile cds. If anyone wants to send me stuff without expecting a return I'd be in

Me too. I cam make one easily, and i would LOVE one in return [:)][:)][:)]

Me Too.

(heh! you know what, i'm glad i'm not the only one that still says "mixed tapes". even though i do the CD-R thing now, i still catch myself saying "Mixed TAPES" !)

I'd be in. My tastes aren't as obscure or rarified as some of those around here--I tend more toward the mainstream of NW--but I've done about a dozen discs that recreate various autobiographical elements (time, mood, etc.) and my friends seem to like the

HELL YEAH!

sure. I mean, does it have to be all new wave? Or are folks here pretty open minded?

[quote] does it have to be all new wave? Or are folks here pretty open minded?

I can't speak for everyone but I'd guess people here are open minded enough to listen to just about anything (at least once.)
But......

Count me in also ! I,ve been trying for ages..thanks to Devildog(he's the only one so far)yep, if you can just shoot me an e-mail dude ! I dont care if it's punk, new wave, or alternative..just nothing mainstream please ! I've always liked the darker stu

If we're gonna do it, we should make sure that everyone follows the same game plan.

Do we make it all '80s music?

Do we mix '80s music with more current stuff that is obviously influenced by the '80s?

Do you make it a grab bag of musical styl

Don't make it all 80s, there's no fuckin fun in that. I mean, yeah, mix 80s stuff with current stuff influenced by the 80s - I have no problem with that. I could fill up two CDs worth of stuff consisting of obscure 80s sounding stuff nobody knows.
