Radio Paradise

Is it a one-to-one exchange?
Is it a multiple "host" thing where 3 or 4 people send CDs out to a couple of people each month?
Is it the responsibility of one person to send CDs to everyone in the group?

Different approaches work for each, but I do say it should be a physical CD exchange, no matter which way it goes. While I understand the appeal of digital music being exchanged, I think that sort of defeats the original intent you had for the group. Or did I misunderstand?

EDIT: Then again, this is your project... so whatever you decide should be the way it goes.

I like this best, at least at first. Not sure what multiple host means. Is that where you send a disc to several people who then recopy and forward new copies ?

Nope - you hit it on the nose. I wanted to do this for the love of mixtapes. The actual physical, tangible sexy little things of my past, present, and future.

I think I like the one-on-one exchange the best as far as time, expense, and feasability goes. In addition to the one-on-one, I do like the idea of uploading my cover art, liner notes, and mix to Scott's mac server for anyone who might be interested in getting their fix that way. This of course would also be an optional afterthought. Any thoughts?

I don't mind sending multiples. I got a ton of blanks around the house and I can splurge maybe $20 on postage. But yea, it could get expensive if group is big. I like the small group idea. Especially if you get a new small group each month. Like 5-8 people per group? That would be manageable, and you'd get 5-8 mixes in return, so...

Road trip mixes are the best, natch. For the giddyup music, we might need disclaimers about speeding tickets caused by listening to the mixes.

I like that idea, but I also think that what OCDHG said makes a lot of sense too. To be able to choose your own topic could be a good thing—especially since some of us know one another better than others and that could impact what sort of a mix we make for them.

That is so freaky! I had logged off, thought something very similar, and logged back on again to post it here. lol

I was thinking that we could vote on a theme each month, you could let me know if you are interested in taking on that theme, I would make a list of all those interested, and give someone a name to send to like the gift swap idea. You don't have to particiate every month and you would only have one person to send to. Then of course we would all share what we got here on this thread.

What does everyone think about this idea??

dio made an interesting suggestion on your FB page—the idea of it being one person sending a CD to one person each month. Sort of the way the gift swaps have worked here, just with CDs.

I don't know how many people you've got signed up for this yet, but it could be split into smaller groupings and the "co-hosts" (I think you mentioned the idea of them at some point) for that month could each get a small group that they send CDs to of their own making...

Sorry, just brainstorming out loud here.

This is going to be fun. I just took a peak at song ratings. Lots of diversity and similarity. And these are just the songs played here.

I have other mixed CDs that I've made before, but I think part of the fun in all of this is coming up with something new—and something that is specifically meant for the rather eclectic group that will surely be a part of this.
