mixtape soundclash - round 2

[killer b]

following on from the recent soundclash here and here, anyone fancy another round? the rules are the same:

* Your mix should be no more than 45 minutes in length - any style or method of mixing is acceptable.
* The mix should be in MP3 format, and hosted somewhere where it won't run out after a certain amount of time of downloads
* The closing date is 14th November
* DO NOT post mixes in this thread - instead, PM me with a link, a short description and a tracklisting
* Make sure you cannot be identified by the file name, the hosting site or the description, as all of these will be viewable by the voting public.
* After the deadline, I'll post another thread, with links to all the mixes and their descriptions, and a poll. If the response is high, we'll go to heats, but we'll cross that when/if we get to it.
* Once the votes are in, i'll post the tracklistings and names of the creators.
* The winner gets no prize, just a nice warm feeling

the 45 minute rule is only a guide, but bear in mind that listeners may have to get through a lot of mixes, so it's only kind to keep it to around 45 minutes...

i was thinking this time, instead of a poll, we have eurovision-style ratings from each listener - ie, if there's 6 mixes, your favourite gets 5 point, and your least favourite gets zero - does this sound better than a poll?

sunspots won the last one with a groovy rockabilly type mix - this doesn't mean everyone should do a rockabilly mix this time...

closing date is negotiable, but it would be useful if people can get their entries in before then...

i'm game but can't we have a couple more weeks please???????

eurovision voting style could be good but a bugger to do on a poll. you'd need people to post their results instead.

 

[killer b]

yeah, i realise it'll be a bit more work. is it too complex? i'm happy to go with a poll if that's the concensus...

14th november for teh deadline then?

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Yeah, maybe mid-Nov would be more realistic (and gain more entrants) - the points system sounds like a good idea to me - could PM killer b the scores rather than post 'em up...

 

[killer b]

i'd prefer if people posted them up tbh - i want the process to be as transparent as possible

 

[killer b]

oh, and can people post in the thread if they're planning on submitting a mix? that way i can badger them more easily when the deadline is looming...

 

[Tank Girl]

I think eurovision style voting's a good idea. that's kind of how it works in the photo comp and it works well from what I can see.

 

[killer b]

i'll investigate the photo comp at some point then...

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Yeah, makes sense actually

Yep. Am gonna submit a mix this time.

 

[perplexis]

I'm going to submit a mix. Yee-Ha.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

14th november is emminently reasonable.

 

[art of fact]

up for it this time. bring it on

 

[isitme]

I'm down wid it

 

[top_biller]

I'll put a mix together for this one.

 

[El Jefe]

Yep, I'm in

 

[killer b]

when people pm me your mixes, can you make sure to write a paragraph describing it this time? despite it being clearly in the rules, not fucker did it last time and i had to do it myself.

 

[braindancer]

What the heck, I think I'll stick a 'mix' in this time around....

So you're flexible about the '45 mins' rule, but not about the 'description' rule?

you planning an epic hours-long-length prog rock extravaganza mix this time round then? just to keep em guessing?

one creates extra work for me, the other doesn't. so stick it up your arse... if you don't like it, post your poxy mix elsewhere.

Yep, with a 4-page description

[perplexis]

I think the time-limit should be properly enforced. Especially if this go-round is going to be much more popular than the last- 4hrs (+some) last time was quite a lot to digest, I reckon <30mins would be good if there's more than 8 mixes, but by then it'll be too late. And 30min mixes are probably harder to make much of. Meh.
I don't care really, I'm just thinking of the fans.

 

[killer b]

it might be a good idea if everyone uploads their mixes to a site which has an on-line player (podomatic has one), so that they can be listened to on-line without having to download them... that way people can try before they buy, so to speak...

 

[El Jefe]

mine's going to be all breakcore, all the time.

[hiccup]

After being robbed, robbed I say, last time, I'm up for a rematch

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

*gloves on*
