Shebangs

Spring 2010 Choose Your Own Adventure Shebang
I feel the same way about my shebangs, Sally. Yours most definitely end up on heavy rotation in my car and at work, though. They're plenty cool. I think my favorite of yours was your spring/summer mix from last year.

Feh. It didn't stop me.

Yeah, no worries on coolness, Sally. Your shebangs are FUN.
Hell, I'll listen to ANYTHING once and I'm assuming most participants will as well.
If we don't like your CD, then at the very least we all have a shiny new coaster.

Sally, the blow-job story helps. Thanks for that. Also, I have zero music coolness and I only got your Christmas shebang so it won't be repetitive to me!
I don't care if it's new if it's new to me. Or if it's stuff that I have but in a wonderful new combination that just enhances alll of the songs involved.Sally - my car is full of shebangs too. They're great for car listening.
Plus it's just fucking great on a basic level to get music from your friends in the mail. period.

I don't even mind shebangs that are full of music I already know... IMO, it's all about flow. :)

That's not true. I totally dug your Shebang the last time around. I think I ripped about 8 or 9 tracks from the CD to my iPod, so that should tell you something right there.
Mine are going out in the mail this afternoon.

Gretchen, most of the music I've heard you mention is good stuff in my book. The hard thing on these shebangs is turning off the part of my brain that wants to please everyone individually.
If I were making a CD just for you, it would probably be different from this one, since this one is for you and Clark and Jackie etc.

I think anyone who has done a couple of these will say that there's never been a bad one. There might be one that doesn't suit your tastes as much as another, but there's still probably a song or two that you'll like.The only bad one is the one that delays the others, which hopefully isn't mine. I feel like I was the last to mail mine, but it should get there by the deadline.
Yay! Mine won't be last!Thanks, Misha :)
Mix CDs should be a reflection of the person who compiled it, not some attempt to please everyone. I know my stuff tends to be all over the place, and you can't pin down one particular music taste over another, but that's how I like to listen to music. I like to think of my mix CDs as a broadcast from a radio station far away, and the DJ's totally run amok.
My mixes are so uncool, they might approach coolness from the other side. :)
I would like it, Barb. I would be glad to try to give you one back, too.

Thanks, Barb. That sure makes it easy.
Oh, poop. My computer doesn't recognize RAR files?
I love Diana Krall, too. I'm gonna have to see if I can figure out how to do the RAR thingy. This is the sort of thing that makes me feel completely computer illiterate.
Wow that worked like a dream!! Thanks Barb! Thanks Misha! There was only one song on your Shebang that I already had! NEW MUSIC!!!! I can't wait to listen to it!
Somebody explain to me what I need to do, please???
First, stand on one foot. Second, hop up and down. Third, sing "Sugar Sugar" at the top of your lungs.

HahahahahahahahahahahahahahaIs the song in your head now?
Just tell him to demonstrate, Heidi. :)
I just clicked on that link Misha gave and downloaded WinRAR. When I ran it Barb's shebang was already in there. I highlighted all the MP3 files and clicked "extract to" and saved them to my ITunes Music folder. Right now I'm syncing them it on my ipod so I can listen to it on my way to work in the morning!
I use Winrar all the time to share music with my friends. Some people don't like it because it's too much like filesharing illegally, but I use Winrar and the accompanying extractor to share discs I'd otherwise put in the "real" mail.
Okay, thanks Gretchen! I'll try that. I'll let you know if it works for me.
Ooh, I can download Barb's disc now...didn't see it there. Thanks, Barb!
Click on Misha's link and download & install the RAR software. Then click on Barb's link and download her play list. Then use the RAR software to open the file and extract the tunes to wherever you want them.
I think the way I found her was someone covered a song of hers on that show "Rockstar" and so I got her album.
HOLY HELL, BARB!!! THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER! PLUUUUS, I love your shebang! I'm gonna burn it to a disc tonight. Thanks for sharing it. :)
I know Tegan and Sarah and, of course, Leonard Cohen... but those were the only two artists who seemed familiar. And I don't know either of those songs.
OMG! I'm totally gonna copy Barb.... if I can figure out how to do this by tomorrow.
Mod
Absolutely.

Barb! BARB!! I love the first song on your shebang. I mean as in I think I will listen to it 50 times today.
barb, i have your shebang on repeat. it is very different from the music i normally listen to and that's exactly why i love it.
I feel like I put the same seven artists on every shebang I've ever made, with two or three new bands I've been enjoying as of late. How do you all keep up with these constant streams of ear coolness and in the know suaveness?
