Blended
My Puzzle Pirates flag did a cool project in August:
People interested signed up to make a mix CD of obscure good music that we wanted to spread the word about. We then all pooled our addresses and every person mailed a copy of the mix CD to every other person on the list. Ten of us signed up, so I'm getting nine CDs of (hopefully) new good music to check out in the post.
That said, making a mix CD is HARD. There's a lot of music that I like, and little of it blends logically track-to-track on a single disc. For example, I like hip-hop/rap, taiko, trance, acapella, rock, J-rock, ooh, and this awesome Welsh mythology album... etc.
I hope that the album makes a moderate amount of sense to its recipients. I managed to squish Cypress Hill on the same CD as Aphex Twin and a piano song by Alex Wong, so it's questionable.
