Random Burn 2009

Right okay so I'm sure you all know the deal by now. You sign up, I'll give you five B3tan's addresses for you to send compilation cds to.

There are a couple of rules:

a) the compilations MUST be a random collection of songs, so stick your music deely on shuffle or randomise or whatever and choose the first 18 tracks it throws up.

b) you can have up to three song substitutions and two same artist swaps.

c) if you sign up, PLEASE make sure you actually take part. I canâ€™t cope with disappointed B3tans or angry B3tans gazzing me constantly asking where the hell their cds are. If I have to deal with loads of these, thereâ€™ll be hell to pay.

d) the date to get them posted off by is 18th May. You have absolutely no excuse to be a lazy shitbag about this. You've got tonnes of time.

Start thinking about making your cds soonish. I'm giving you a long time til they have to be sent.

Please GAZ me your name and address by 4 May.

Good luck and enjoy and if you want to send me a copy of your cd, GAZ me for my address.

If I've had your address in the past for a random burn, don't assume I've kept it. I am notorious for losing stuff

Posting CD's ..

and revealing addresses?

if only there was some way of getting the music onto a computer in a compressed format ... why, then all we would need is some sort of globally intercconnected network ... and a way of transferring the files ..

/me dreams ...

Although I did it last year and it took me 3 weeks or so to get them sorted after the date, and for that I am sorry - only a twat wouldn't be able to sort it with 7 weeks notice.

So yes indeedy, and I promise to be less wanky this time.

Same here

but I won't lose faith based on one episode.

I think what peeved me the most was I got no response from 3 of the 5 who received my CDs.

*Thinks*
They must have been shite.

A request, please would people put tracklistings in their CDs? kthx
Edit: Please spam this on /board

the_rhyme_minister has a little bit of gold and a pager, Fri 10 Apr 2009, 22:34, Reply)

Ah well,

might as well. I've met half you fuckers by now anyway.

However:
you can have up to three song substitutions and two same artist swaps.

I think I can figure out what a song substitution is, but what's the definition of a "same artist swap"?

... also, are you supposed to make the same CD five times, or have five different randomly chosen tracklistings? If you're going to wave rules at people, at least make them clear and unambiguous.

(

The Hedgehog From Hell R.I.P. blackflag :(, Fri 10 Apr 2009, 22:41, Reply)

I presume it means out of the three substitutions you can't have all three by the same artist.

Only two.
Also I believe the point is to burn the CD five times.

I really need to sort my library out now because I use a mystical system called folders, so at the moment my shuffle just finds everything including the mp3s of 6 minutes of atmosphere from inside a chinese train station.

Mighty Nibus who dares gins | @nibus, Wed 15 Apr 2009, 10:11, Reply)

Song substitutions:

Maybe there's your mates band who you want to showcase.

Artist swaps: On mine last year my music player threw up three Smiths songs on the same playlist. Now I could've kept them but decided to swap two of them for the next two random songs.

If this doesn't make sense, I'm sure someone who has a better grasp of the English language can tell you

I'll give it another go

last year I went to the trouble of buying Lightscribe disks and designing an awesome cover and spent a fortune posting them off

but I only received one disk (plus one from someone who wasn't on my list) - the people who failed me were A-list /talk members too.

Bad show - so I'm hoping this year will be better

Sent 6*, received 2.

It's really nice receiving CDs, which was why I signed up, so I could share the love. But I'm quite disheartened now. How many people have received RB2009 CDs but sent none?

*1 for our lovely host.
