Because somebody has to pick up the reins here.
The Rules (revised for 2007):
1. Create an audio CD of songs you think somebody would want. New music, old music, your shitty garage band's demo, whatever. Sky's the limit.
2. CDA, WAV, or MP3 format only. No data discs, you lazy bastard/bitch you.
3. While a loose "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy is in place concerning the legal ownership of whatever you put on your disc, scruples are highly encouraged. At the very least, the sound quality better be as pristine as it can be.
4. You can send more than one CD at a time, but no more than three.
5. If for whatever reason you cannot hold up your end of the swap, LET US KNOW, preferably by posting here so another swap partner can be arranged, which someone will usually volunteer for within minutes. Simply pussing out is frowned upon.
6. Yes, international shipping costs blow. If you don't want to spend the cash to ship overseas, make a note of it when you sign up, I'll make sure you're matched with someone closer to home.
7. Don't be afraid to let your partner know your musical boundaries. If you don't mention your aversion to death metal, and the first track on your partner's CD is "I Gargled Your Cat's Blood Last Night" by Rectal Prolapse, you have no one to blame but yourself.
8. Everyone likes compliments. Let us know how your partner's CD turned out. Track listings are especially welcome.
9. It's okay. Your musical taste is just as bland and unimaginative as everyone else's. Just have fun.
10. .....that said, due to security issues stemming from the Juggalo thread, I will personally ensure anyone who sends Insane Clown Posse, even as a joke, will be neg repped into fucking oblivion.
Closing date for sign-up will be the 27th.
