In which you sign up and we all exchange CDs and have lots of fun!
My woman-hed Deboka is looking for new music, so I’m building this playlist the other day. I think, “I’m gonna send her one song for each letter of the alphabet! How fun is that!” Then I spend an hour having fun sorting and digging through my library, trying to find songs that start with V or X or Z, adding artists and removing duplicates, trying to make the most excellent Alphalist evar.
Here’s a sample of my Alphalist:
- Ah! Leah!, by Donny Iris
- Balamouk, by Les Yeux Noirs
- Come Get To This, by Marvin Gaye
- Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough, by Michael Jackson
- Everybody’s Talkin’, by Harry Nilsson
- …and so on.
After I created this bitchin’ playlist, I discovered that I really dig listening to it. And I want more! I want one from YOU! So I’m setting up a CD exchange for my beloved goblinboxers.
Here’s what you do:
- Make an A-Z playlist consisting of one song beginning with each letter of the alphabet. (If you don’t have a song in your library beginning with a particular letter – say Q or Z – double up on the letter before or the letter after.)
- Burn this bitchin’ playlist to CD.
- Send a copy to me.
- Send a copy to the other people who sign up (this part is optional).
- Check your mail! Get a CD from me! Maybe get CDs from the others!
Doesn’t it sound wicked fun to get all kinds of new stuff for your MP3 library? Especially from people you may not even know?! OF COURSE IT DOES!
So if you wanna play, leave a comment. Then email me your snailmail address and tell me if you want to exchange CDs only with me or with everyone else who signs up too. I’ll send the appropriate mailing addresses out to those who want to participate.
Come on, it’ll be fun!

i’ll see what i can come up with, but i don’t want to commit to anything just yet …
Crap, I haven’t commenced to saving my music library to the computer yet.
It sounds like wicked fun, though. Had I already saved my collection to the computer, I would have sent you a “Nelson” track. You know, for shits and giggles.
Come on, guys, at least trade CDs with me! Pleeeeeeeeze!
Count me in! Any one that VUBOQ vouches for is on my good list. 🙂
WHOO-HOO!!! -m
Colour S and I “Involved”. We need to exchange addresses somehow though. Email me?

Ooh, I wanna play! And I’ll trade cds with whoever else is playing, too. Fun, fun, fun. I’ll go email you my address right now.

Anyone who doesn’t think that ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is the quintessential ‘B’ song needs to get their heads outta their asses. Just sayin’.
Are you signing up for the CD exchange, or just bitching? 😉 -m

I got one picked (probably 2) out but it’s snail mail? I’ll play, but I might have to have an old person teach me how to put stamps on an envelope. They still use stamps right? I’m not much for learnin’ that stuff …
