Description:

Okay...here's the deal, Music is a HUGE part of my life, sometimes it's lyrics, sometimes its the melody, sometimes its a certian riff of the guitar. But just about every song I hear brings me to a particular moment or person. So, what this swap is about are those songs that speak to you. That bring you to a particualar moment or person or place. Then with the CD, explain why some of the songs mean what they do to you. You don't have to explain every song if you don't want, as that they could be very personal stories. But share a few. Think of it as free therapy if need be.

Since this is kinda a deep thinking kind of swap you will only have one partner. So please, send one.

the rules everyone knows 15+ tracks 2 songs by the same artist and newbies welcome, but if you have a rating lower than a 4 I can't very well let you stay without a good excuse.

Hi, I love this idea but as a newbie the rules are hazy. i get that you have to include more than 15 songs but what do you mean by 2 songs by the same artist? Does that mean that for each artist you need to put 2 songs on cause some of my artists only have one track that means something to me.

jewels1 03/ 8/2007 #

Cloverst, I'm pretty sure she means "not more than 2 songs by the same artist", that way someone doesn't send a whole CD with only one artist on it.

user3873 03/ 8/2007 #

Jewels is right. Sorry, I my brain got ahead of my typing. Max two songs by the same artist

Hi yall, I just wanted tto let someone know, My harddrive on my computer crapped out on me. So I might be a few days late. But don't worry as soon as I can I will send them off. Brennan

Looks bad for a coordinator to be late I know, I should get my computer back in a week or so. I apologize again to my partners.

Um... I'm new to the site so at the risk of looking silly I've got a question... How do we know who to send to? Do I get an email? When? I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly! :) Any info would be appreciated! :) Thank you, Jean

Hi Jean! Basically a day or so after the last day to drop or add the swap when you go to "your swaps" you will see a few new options that weren't there before. Next to "view" the swap, there will be a new link that you can click on that says "see your partners". When you click on that link it will show you the addresses of the people that you will be sending to and any links of theres so that you can find out a little more about them. You will also recieve an email reminding you of who your partners are as well. The email is sent to whatever email address you gave when you signed up. I hope that helped. Any other questions just ask!

jeanland 03/21/2007 #

Hi Carniehands! Thank you so much for answering my questions, I appreciate it, I was starting to get concerned that I'd missed something important I was supposed to do. This will be my first swap on Swap-Bot, I'm so excited! Thank you again :) Jean

Any idea of when we might get our partner's name?

Windchimes 03/23/2007 #

I suspect our intrepid leader still is out with his computer problem. (Bet he is frustrated!) Can we extend the send date if the partners aren't assigned pretty soon?

blackdovejanuary1 03/24/2007 #

It says I have 3 partners??? Not that I mind, because I would just make the same mix and liner notes for all, so it's not a problem, but I don't want to get them sent and have a different partner reassigned!!!
PS Windchimes - Brennan is a she! ;)

user3873 03/24/2007 #

OK guys I am very very very sorry. I have gotten my computer back, and I am looking into the three partner issue. You are only supposed to have one. It's my issue, no you guys, I didn't hit the assign button when I should have and the bot assigned them for me. Okay...Now all I ask is give me one more day, I will extend the send by date a week. I have to get all the updates for all of my programs because they had to put in a new Hard drive. I apologize to all of you. I didn't flake or forget about yall. If a week isn't long enough extention, let me know. I can extend it longer if needed.
Brennan thanks Liz, Windchimes ...I have a guys name I get it all the time:)

Windchimes 03/24/2007 #

ACK! Sorry about that Brennan - I just assumed - that'll teach me (I hope) LOL.

I sure appreciate the extra week, a little longer would be good IF we have three partners. I too am okay with that, but my problem is that two of my three are the same person!

Aren't new hard drives fun? NOT! I had to replace mine recently. It takes a while to get the computer back to where it was. Most frustrating.

Let us know. We are a patient group. :)

racheljohnson 03/24/2007 #

Hi swappers,

Sorry about the inconvenience with the triple partner assignment. We are not sure why that happened. We are going to delete the current partners and re-assign them so that you each only have one. Please re-check your partners to make sure you are sending to the correct person. Thank you!

Happy Swapping, Rachel - Swap-bot Admin

user3873 03/24/2007 #

Fixed yall

And windchime...No worries :)

Cupcakecalamity 03/25/2007 #

so...if I have an international partner...i've heard something about some type of form I have to fill out to send it. Is that true? Do I need some type of form to send it overseas? I just want to make sure that they get it on time if I do need to fill out some type of form online.

drewzel 03/26/2007 #

Carniehands, just check with your post office people when you go in to send it off. They usually want you to declare what you're sending for Customs. Usually just a little green slip they give you to sign and stick on the parcel.

Brennan, I think your name is pretty cool actually!

user5860 03/26/2007 #

yay i'm so excited! my partner and i have so much in common! but for now it's top secret. :}

user3873 03/28/2007 #

Carniehands...Its a simple little thing, I actully use the automated thing because I never get the post office before it closes. That you don;t have to fill out anything and you can charge it on a card. Its kinda a pain though if you have alot of evelopes cause you have to do them all individually. But I do it because I wait till the last minute.

Thanks drewzel :)

I know your secret Sarah :)

Anyways, Mine will be sent off this weekend.

jeanland 04/ 4/2007 #

I just dropped mine in the mail! :)

jeanland 04/ 6/2007 #

I receive sparklebluefaery's wonderful CD today! Thank you so much! :) I'll be giving you a 5 rating as soon as I figure out how to do that, lol. Thank you again! :)

girlonaglide 04/ 6/2007 #

Jean Smith: Thanks for the terrific mix and wonderful letter and explanation!! -Juli

jeanland 04/10/2007 #

Ummm... What happened to the dates on here? I've noticed it throughout the site... What happened??? Anyone know?

jeanland 04/11/2007 #

I think the dates have been fixed now, lol, sorry for the looney-ness. :D

girlonaglide 04/12/2007 #

Sarah Elizabeth: Your CD is going out in today's mail!

Windchimes 04/14/2007 #

Mine went in the mail today but it will most likely have the postmark of Monday because of the hours post office is open - I can't get there before the last Saturday postmark - little town and it is only open very short time. But my package is in the mail. I hope it doesn't take too long as it is leaving the country.

Cupcakecalamity 04/18/2007 #

Please let me know when you get your package edlyn!!! :)
