Music trading scheme
Over the last couple of days I've been listening to two cds that I just
received from members of this list and have been enjoying them quite a
bit. What I was wondering was how many of us on this list have CDs of
music that we have created that we feel have never really circulated as
much as we might like? And then I struck upon the idea of trying to
organize a one time (initially at least) trading circle here.
What I'm thinking is that everyone who wants to be involved would send a
message to the curator/director/whatever you call them (I will volunteer
but it will be after the holidays before anything actually starts to
happen) stating that they are interested, how many discs they want to
trade (and hence the number they will receive hopefully), and where
they're willing to ship them to (across oceans can get a tad pricey).
We could also possibly ask for a general genre so that no one gets stuck
with ambient guitar music they don't want :-) (btw, that is humor, I am
an ambient guitarist much of the time).
I imagine that we will finally have a list of people who have said they
want to trade x number of discs and then I'll simply keep a tab and then
start to match people up and tell them where to send their discs and
what to expect from whom.
I don't know if this will get overwhelming or not (guess it depends on
how many people want to get in on it) but it seemed like a good way to
get some of this group's music circulating (I personally don't much care
to download 30+ minute songs and find I listen better if I have a hard
copy to move around from place to place).
Does this sound like a good idea to people and if so, does anyone want
to go in on it?
