Can anyone that hasn’t received ALL of their CDs from the music swap (who I haven’t heard from in the last two days) contact me so that I can chase them up please?
Thanks! (In other news I have stuff to blog but…. meh. I will TRY to dust the cobwebs off the camera, soon!)
…just a reminder for the people participating in the music swap…
CDs have to be posted TODAY!
Hope you’ve had fun sorting out your tunes, I’ve heard some super organised types have sent theirs already to grateful recipients, none of this last minute playlist fiddling for them!
Let me know if you’ve any issues & I’ll do my best to help; let the tunes begin…
Quick, easy, fun, that’s what this is about kids.
Compile a mixed CD; send out 3 copies to 3 different people & receive 3 different mixes from 3 different people, giving you some new music for the New Year! Music for a roadtrip, music to craft to, music to chill to, your favourites of all time… whatever you want to do, it’s up to you.
You in?
Leave a comment below if you’d like to participate AND SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH YOUR POSTAGE & BLOG DETAILS.
That is:
:: Name
:: Blog
:: Postal Address
If you comment here but don’t send me an email before the end of the sign-ups, I will not be chasing you, so that is really important if you want to participate.
Also let me know if you’d be willing to post your CDs overseas; people with active blogs only please – it’s just a smidge “safer” that way. Please don’t say you want to play if you think there is any chance at all you can’t or won’t follow through – that would not be good karma to kick off the year, would it?
Sign ups will close on the 8th, CDs to be sent out by the 20th. Quick. Easy. FUN.
Luckily I have a towering spindle of blank CDs ready to go; they seem to be just one of those things you never run out of… Do I sound a bit mean in this post? I apologise – having run a few swaps now I know it’s best to be crystal clear about the “rules” from the outset, otherwise I spend hours chasing people & trying to contact them & you know what? It’s no fun for me, so I’m trying to reduce all that stuff to an absolute minimum, I would love for you to join in, honest!
Because I really am a Christmas tragic, I had the tag “Christmas” playing on Last FM the other day, I came across some favourite songs (Bing!) & some new ones, but here are some xmas tunes that the you can crank up loud & wrap that mountain of presents to like a speed demon. You might want to dress in the festive Christmas garb of ripped jeans & a flannelette shirt, to complete the tradition…
Do you know what was the number one song on your twenty-first birthday? Mine was, to my dismay, Complicated by Avril Lavigne (The Boy’s was Shakira!).
On the day I was born it was Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.
The number one on my eighteenth birthday was much better than those, and something I would have actually listened to at the time; Last Kiss by Pearl Jam.
To find the relevant hits for your memorable birthdays, or whenever, go here, be sure to come back & tell me if you’ve got some funny ones!
I was particularly impressed with the songs that came on my iPod via “Genius” last night while I was making dinner, so thought I’d share some!
Do you like some tunes while you cook? I find it makes me hate cooking less, so they’re kind of a necessity…
…I keep stealing people’s good ideas for Blogtoberfest posts, I can’t help it… I have to break up the baby-stuff posts somehow!
This idea is from Margaret at Konstant Kaos;
What would be the first song that would appear in iTunes (or any other music browser) if you pressed random or shuffle?
I’d love to know what comes up for you too – if you dare, & do listen to this song, it’s all seven kinds of awesome.
Ha! That got your attention, didn’t it? Everybody loves free stuff!
You may have heard of last.fm, it’s pretty cool, I like it, but did you know (because I didn’t) that they also have a whole heap of free mp3 dowloads?
…one of the freebies I came across last night was this one; Suprise Hotel by Fool’s Gold – not usually my style but I was bopping along almost against my will – plus I was thirsty when I looked it up on YouTube & was mesmerised by the soft drink fight! It’s a pretty cute clip – you just might want to look away when the old dudes wander past with no pants on….
Happy Wednesday Lovelies – how good is this song? I like it even though this lass was on Australian Idol….
I do love the interwebs. Looking for one thing always, ALWAYS, leads to another, and you find things you never knew you needed, that’s how looking for nicer preggo clothes turned into window shopping for bubba clothes which led me then to these CDs which I most assuredly do NEED.
Rockabye Baby – lullaby renditions of baby’s favourite rock bands.
Oh.
Yes.
My favourites; Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails & Metallica.
I thought I’d share some funny, novelty songs that I have nae heard in a looooooooooong time, one of them popped into my head for no reason yesterday & made me smile. If you’ve wee kiddies underfoot mind, headphones are the way to go, there is, as old ladies say, “some language”.
