Fall 2013 Music Shebang...signup open until Oct. 7
No worries, Misha. If you can do it, that would be grand, but I realize you've got a lot going on right now, what with the new job and the still recent move. See how it goes, and if you can fit a shebang into your fall schedule, all the better.
Not me, but my daughter had requested could she participate in the next shebang. So she is in if that is okay?
Of course, Gail. That would be great. What is your daughter's Goodreads name so I can add her to the list? Or shall we just communicate with her through you if she's not on GR?
She isn't on goodreads at the moment. I'll check with her as to what she would like to do. Thanks.
I'm not familiar with this thread. Could someone tell me what a She Bang entails?
Good morning to everyone!
Good morning to everyone!
Hello Aaron, a while back Barb put together a terrific FAQ page giving all the information one could possibly want regarding shebangs:http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...
It is Friday evening here Aaron. Good morning to you.
Interesting twist Gail ;) What shall we call Gail Junior for shebang conversations?
I'm in! Thanks for the heads up, Jonathan, and for organizing this shebang.
I'm considering doing a Murder and Mayhem shebang. I haven't used iTunes for a while, but when I turned it on today I discovered a playlist of Murder and Mayhem-ish songs I'd made after listening to Smetchie's Murder and Mayhem shebang. I did sounds of youth as a bonus with the literary shebang.
@Jonathan
Thanks. That clears things up.
@Gail
It's Friday morning here, Gail. Enjoy your evening.

Stomach pains. Good title for a song, too. I must begin with some lyrics.
Plop, plop fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is. Or:
A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants.
Good, huh?

I'm thinking I will do sounds of (an angsty) youth too, there is also a holiday playlist I've been wanting to whip out but any excuse for the Violent Femmes!
Barb! Janine! Great that you can join the shebang!Sarah, so sorry to hear that you're too busy for this round. Hope you're working on interesting things.
Misha, I'm not sure exactly what the mailing deadline should be...I guess I was figuring on maybe around Halloween--does that work for you?
Aaron, are you in?
Not sure yet, Jonathan. Will let you know.

hmmmm. Here I am the one always lobbying for shared-theme shebangs...but I can't do Sounds of Youth. No. I want to thoroughly un-remember the sounds of my youth.I'm already working on a shebang and the theme is "Home" so I'll probably just do that.
(there isn't any Phillip Phillips on it)
Sorry for the multiple posts. I can't help myself when I've been away....
I wish I could do this one. Unfortunately, I don't even currently have my computer set up.::SIGH::
Yay, Heidi! Yay, Misha!Susan, do you really have no possibility of getting access to a CD burner in the near future? It would be so delightful to have you aboard...
Misha wrote: "Oooh, maybe I'll make mine the soundtrack for the NaNoWriMo project I'll be writing in November and you'll all have to try to guess the novel's plot from the songs on the mix."That's an awesome idea :)
I wish I could join in. I just know better :(
There is a small chance I might be able to swing something. I will confirm by the deadline.
You can do it! I believe in your swing :)
I'm digitising some of my old music first, there are so many cds that are not on my computer yet. There is also so much music wasting away on cassette tapes; there may need to be some iTunes purchases in my future.
I'm working on mine now, trying to capture what it felt like to be 4 years old in 1973 through the sounds of the era. It's going to be fun.
Hah! I'll keep that in mind as I make my selections, Misha, but I'm really going for the toddler's perspective on that strange and wacky era. It was a very peculiar time in which to grow up--although none of us realized it, of course, as we had no other frame of reference and were just living in the moment.
Oh wait...I wasn't interpreting youth like that young. That's really fun. Like what your parents were listening to....hmmmm
I have narrowed down my shebang playlist to 7 cds worth (this is pre-aforementioned iTunes purchases)!I think the next week or so of driving to and from work will be listening to my very long winded first draft and whittling away to my final mix. I am a bit excited at the tunes in my future; I think this is the first time I have had such an involved 'process' for a shebang...
I love the process.I bought some dollars today for the return postage. They usually give me brand new crisp notes with consecutive serial numbers, but this time they gave me used ones. New ones are so much better.
I've been working on my playlist, which is going to be pretty interesting (I hope), a groovy sound-scape of 1973--we really did use the word groovy back in the 70s--including several brief items of ephemera that give a child's perspective on the era. I'm hoping to create a subtle sense of a child's consciousness, a dreamy mood in which things are just beginning to come into focus. So there will be a lot of novelties, oddities, and curious segues...
Heidi! I missed that you're doing this shebang!! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The announced deadline to join this shebang has now passed, so signup is officially closed...although anyone with an excuse/plea for entry strong enough to sway the confirmed participants can probably still be added late. The deadline for mailing your shebangs to me is tentatively Oct. 31--trick or treat!
As it stands we are a group of 8, meaning that each participant should burn 7 copies of his or her shebang and snail mail them to me with a self-addressed return envelope and enough postage to get the package containing everyone's shebangs back to you (meaning roughly the same amount of postage required to send your shebangs to me).
Those of you residing abroad can just send sufficient US currency to cover the purchase of return postage, and again just figure it to be roughly the same amount in dollars as you're spending in your own currency to ship the shebangs to me.
I'll PM my address info to each of you shortly...
Sorry I can't join in the fun this round, everybody. Post lots of good tidbits so I can lurk and rejoice in the fun vicariously.

Say whaaaaaat?!!!!Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!
I LOVE your Canadian pants off, Barbalina!!!!
:D
I'll host.
Let's leave the theme open. But please feel free to announce or describe your theme when you sign up, as it can be a big help to others trying to formulate ideas. (I'll be doing The Sounds of Youth.)
