RANDOMBURN 2010

EDIT - 5th June 2010
As some of you may know, I've just moved house. As a result, I can receive emails, but not send them, so I'm going to GAZ you all the contact details instead. Sorry for this fuck-up. LOLROFLETC!
I'm on with it at the moment, please be patient waiting for your 5 people

BURN BABY BURN!



Here we go again. Exactly the same as last years, but I'm organising it this year, and not the lovely Blue Star or the dashing Red Rocket or that other one that did it that time.

It's dead easy to do;
- Sign up below, then send me a GAZ with your postal address and an email address.
- Make a compilation CD consisting of 18 randomly selected tracks from your music collection.
- On 5th June, I'll email you with five b3tan's postal addresses, and you send them a compilation CD. Whether you choose to include anything else in the Jiffy bag that you think the other person might like such as sweets and trinkets and that, is entirely up to you.

There are a couple of rules though:

- The compilations MUST be a random collection of songs, so set iTunes or WinAmp or whatever music playing thing you use on shuffle or random. Then choose the first 18 tracks it comes up with.
- you can have up to three song substitutions and two same artist swaps.
- as last year, if you sign up, PLEASE make sure you actually take part. I'm not taking any shit from people who haven't received CDs. I'll just give them your addresses instead!
- the date to get them posted off by is 19th June. There is no excuse for being a lazy twat. It gives you a full 2 weeks to get your arse down the Post Office. If you are going to be away on holiday or something, then let me know of any delays. I promise not to come and burgle your house while you are away.


Please GAZ me your name and address by the end of 5th June at the very latest.

If you want to send me a copy of your CD, ask my for my details in your GAZ.
Finally, if the above doesn't make sense, ask a grown-up or your carer to explain it slowly.

Good luck, and enjoy!

How many people will get my address

or does that depend on the number of b3tans who sign up?

( Wasp Box like a nervous random stranger at a glory hole, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 17:05, Reply)

Only the 5 people that will be sending you CDs will have your address

Last year I dutifully sent out five lovely CDs, and received two in return.

Might pass this year.

( Ghostwriter can't pick up his pencil, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 17:19, Reply)

I got some sweets too

which made up for not getting two of the CDs

( Mighty Nibus who dares gins | @nibus, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 17:22, Reply)

Aah yes, I think I got a little bag of Haribo.

I gave them away because I don't like Haribo.

Tempted

but I'm moving out less than a week after the 19th of June. So I'd risk not getting some if the post fucks up.

I'm going on holiday then and it'd be nice to listen to something new.

( lazygamer VS tittybiscuits, Mon 19 Apr 2010, 19:27, Reply)

It's just occurred to me

that 18 tracks from my mp3 player would probably include at least some Radio 4 downloads. Time to edit my playlist, I think...

I was wondering what had happened to this

I'll be happy to dole out my usual blend of cheese and pap. Congratulations to anyone who gets a CD from me.

Last year I sent out 6 (or maybe 7, I forget) and I got four back, so not a bad return.

have to be different for the five people we post to? HM?

problem

Can we reroll? It's just that I tried drawing up a random list, and there were three tracks by the Eels - all from the "everything's shit and we're all going to die alone and in pain" phase. No-one deserves that, but I don't want to use all my veto on the same band.

Just got internet back...

B3ta is banned at work, and I didn't see my gaz. :-(

Burning CDs now and will post tomorrow*. Sorry for whoever has me and thought I'd forgotten! I haven't and will be including extra fluffiness in my packages. :-)

(* Well, 4 out of 5. Someone didn't send their address in - If it goes unclaimed by the time I get back from Glasto, then I will send it to someone else if anyone wants it).

Additionally, I haven't had owt in the post yet :-(

( SocialRobot, Sun 13 Jun 2010, 21:06, Reply)

Just to say:

I've received one so far; but am delayed sending out mine, however they *will* get there.

(The Incredible Sulk Finally remembered his password on, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 16:58, Reply)

Was it mine?

I just got one so far, from the Duke of Belmsford, which is pretty good but
a) has no tracklist, and
b) has stopped playing in my dodgy CD-ROM so I need to sort that out.

( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Mon 21 Jun 2010, 23:11, Reply)

Yes, thankyou!

And I do appreciate the leaflet; but sadly I can't make it apply to the Bad Management.

Thanks also to The Furry Dinosaur for my second package, which arrived today; you're never too old for lollipops.

edit: blaireau69, gronkpan, Limey Treat, mictoboy, and Halfy, I still haven't sent you mine yet; but you will get them eventually.

I'm a busy boy but I still fucking hand-wrote the inlays for 5 Cds till my hand nearly fell off, and went a proper effort. You shiftless pendejos that haven't bothered should be ashamed.

Thanks to Coast Of Yemen and Lesbian Ham for sorting your shit out and introducing me to some lovely bits of music.

I sent mine before I went to Glastonbury.

I received 3. Can't remember how many I should have got so I'll not be complaining yet.

( senorpicante, Fri 2 Jul 2010, 16:42, Reply)

Allright

I'm proud to announce that mine are finally sent; blaireau69, gronkpan, Limey Treat, mictoboy, Halfy, and of course mns can all expect a package to arrive soon*. I've thrown in two discs and a few surprises.

I've received three to date: "The Light In Chains" and "The Furry Dinosaur" I've already credited; and I'll now thank "Doam" from whom something has arrived. There's been some truly unique music here. A special mention goes to "The Furry Dinosaur" for sucessfully sneaking an 'I Love Horses' in on me.

* soon will be surface mail times; a few days for most, possibly up to 56 days for my antipodean acquaintance (that's the target time for post going halfway around the world by boat).

edit: Credit to Captain Pilchard for my 4th disc.

(The Incredible Sulk Finally remembered his password on, Fri 2 Jul 2010, 21:54, Reply)

Thankyou Captain Pilchard, I'm listening to it now.

A tracklist would have been nice though. Am I alone in thinking a tracklist is practically a necessity with a project like this?

( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 7 Jul 2010, 16:49, Reply)
