Mixtape Mania (Verse 1)

​

w u t d i s


As the Music Trade/Request Thread has died down a bit (much to my iPod's displeasure :'c), this is sort of building off of that thread, and also adding a bit more interactivity. To spare any further plumecdotes:



A b o u t


Here in this thread, you may sign up to build playlists of recommended music for other members. However, instead of just a general post, you'll be assigned a random member from this sign up list, and give them music you think they'd really be able to get into.

In a sense, it is similar to our Secret Santa event, but instead of gifts you get to spread and expand your own musical taste.

For the most part, I'd urge you to work off genres as much as possible, to introduce a wider variety of artists to another person. However, if you know a few songs by said artist that they might not know (either because it's not as popular or that person is just getting into them), you can feel free to include them in your playlist.



P l a y l i s t ?


For this event, we'll be using this nifty site called 8tracks. While it does require sign up, it's very user friendly and the upload process is quite simple. It also let's you add your own album cover to personalize it (max size is 500x500), and it is even YouTube compatible! Tutorial coming soon.

1. All Main Site Rules and the Music Section's Rules apply.

2. At least 5-10 tracks per playlist. This is to ensure a more broad range of things are presented rather than just a playlist filled with your top favorite band.

3. Sign-Ups will be reopened every week. With school going on and all, I understand that time may be pretty short for most. For convenience's sake, everyone has a week to build their playlist and award it to their assigned person. However, as with Secret Santa, if you do not hand in your playlist by the designated date, I WILL TRACK YOU DOWN.

4. Have fun! This is meant to be a light hearted activity, and one that each and every member of the forum can enjoy. c:

Sign Ups _ CLOSED.


As for who you guys are making mixes for, I will be sending that out now. 8)

 

Woulda done this, but I was banned. Also, why do it with only 4 folks signed up? And when is this next time this is gonna happen?

 

There didn't really seem to be too much initial interest, and didn't really want to keep pushing it back for enough to gather. Plus I'm getting ill and didn't want to get too sick before I could start it/send out the PMs/work on my mix. :c

I do see what you mean though, I'll advertise it better for the next round so that more people do hear of it and are able to sign up and it isn't just the same 4 people again. xD

And it's happening again on Sunday. :B

 

I tried. I'm so, so sorry.

My mix is for GS! Again, I apologize.

 

KELLU

I tried. ;w;

 

THIS PUTS MY MIX TO SHAME. KTJHBJYNY THANK YOU. <3
