Posted April 6, 201015 yr I'm not sure how many of you know about CHC / know about the CHC CD Swap, but the basic gist of it is that you made a CD roughly 72 minutes (the basic length of a CD), title it, give it artwork, put love into it etc., and then someone would be given it randomly and anonymously (thus they would not know you made it). Then, whoever recieved your CD would post a review of it (that has time spent on it obviously, someone worked very hard to make that CD), and then whoever made it would reveal themselves. Sending of CDs to people after the fact is encouraged, it's all about discovering new music. So, out of curiosity, who would take part in this if we did it here? By doing it in the indie forum, it'd just encourage people to try and put songs on it that other people might not know; I would not be limiting what people could put on it any way. You could make a CD full of punk / rap / pop / whatever, but I just hope by doing it here it would encourage people not to send things in the UK Top 20 / whatever. Indie originally used to just mean independent anyway. Not that you can't put Lady Gaga on it or anything, I would just hope it wouldn't be a CD only full of Gaga. I'm not trying to make this super indie at all; I'd love to get a CD filled with R&B tracks I don't know. I think it'd be fun, and obviously since I'm posting this I'd love to take part. Anyone else? If we get a decent group of 5 - 10 people I think it'd be totally doable. No contest, just people genuinely interested in music and sharing it with others.
April 6, 201015 yr Yeah I'm interested. ;D Question though, how exactly do you send the CD's..? Like, through post?
April 6, 201015 yr Author You create a .zip file, and they'll be linked to people involved through PMs. (: Megaupload, zshare, etc.

April 6, 201015 yr Fantastic idea ^_^ I've seen this idea brewing for a while. Just keep the download links off the board and it's all gravy baby.
April 6, 201015 yr I do hope you get the same hassle I used to. You need at least 10 people who don't understand how to do it, followed by you explaining it really clearly in step by step instructions and then half of them still not doing it right. Ahhhhhh, how I miss it! :D
April 6, 201015 yr There gotta be a guy who sends these cds to people if I gathered correctly? 2 down. 8 to go.

April 6, 201015 yr Author There gotta be a guy who sends these cds to people if I gathered correctly? That would be me / whoever runs the swap haha. Via PM.

Ahhhhhh, how I miss it! :D I'm prepared. Don't worry.
April 6, 201015 yr I have already expressed in previous threads that I am up for this. as long as it doesnt get like proper mainstream buzzjack though, like someone making a CD of all the female artists in last weeks top 20. but hopefully this is got around by not being in thw uk chart chat forum.
April 6, 201015 yr I can read tbh. It's just if you send a link to a person it'd not really be anonymous is it? edit: Yep, question answered :D Edited April 6, 201015 yr by Ljósið
April 6, 201015 yr Author I can read tbh. It's just if you send a link to a person it'd not really be anonymous is it? Sorry for not clarifying: I'll personally be sending out the links to everyone. Obviously it won't be anonymous for me but for everyone else it will be. I have already expressed in previous threads that I am up for this. as long as it doesnt get like proper mainstream buzzjack though, like someone making a CD of all the female artists in last weeks top 20. but hopefully this is got around by not being in thw uk chart chat forum. I think just by having it here it should solve the problem. I'll obviously never tell someone what they can and can't put on their CD, but I really can't seeing it being an issue, especially if it remains kinda niche and just like a small(ish) group of people. Not that I'd mind seeing a lot of people participating.
April 6, 201015 yr That would be me / whoever runs the swap haha. Via PM. I'm prepared. Don't worry. I think you'd be perfect for it. It's quite fun to do, there's something quite nice about knowing who has whose - especially if you have a gut feeling it could clash. :D
