Date items must be sent by:February 13, 2008
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

As I was putting together playlists for a few love song related swaps, I noticed a number of songs that were more in the stalking end of the spectrum. From that a swap is born. You will make a mixed CD of at least 12 songs that cross the line and may have the object of affection thinking "restraining order".

  1. Send one CD with a minimum of 12 songs to your partners.
  2. Please do not include more than 2 songs from a single artist.
  3. Your mix must include a playlist of song titles and artists/performers. This should be your own mix, not a mix you received from someone else.
  4. Your mix should be burned on a brand new disc.
  5. Please mail your mix to your partners by February 13, 2008. Remember to mark your swap as sent. Be smart about how you package and mail your disc.

If you feel inspired to add cover art for your disc, please do so! It is not required.

Participants from around the world with a rating of 4.8 and higher are welcome. Members with two or more no sends in the last 9 months or are behind on other swaps will be removed from the swap. You must have at least 3 ratings from swaps where something was mailed; members with e-swap ratings only will be removed. Swappers not meeting these requirements will be removed from the swap prior to partners being assigned. I reserve the right to ban swappers at my discretion.

Enjoy and have fun!

I'd love to sign up, Courtney - but I can't think of a single track that would fit into this category. Any hints?

Scuslidge 01/23/2008 #

Every Breath You Take by Sting (or was it the Police?) would be the only one I can think of that is real stalker material!

Korrynne 01/23/2008 #

oooh, i can think of several right off the top of my head! does that mean something is wrong with me?

Courtney 01/23/2008 #

It was The Police. That is definitely the ultimate stalker song. If you start listening to lyrics of songs you'd typically think of as love songs you'll start to hear the desperation and questionable behavior. I've already identified maybe 19 potential tracks, but I can't show my hand yet!

Korrynne, that means you're perfect for this swap!

The only two tracks that come to mind are Hearts and Crosses (Heavenly) and The Boiler (Rhoda Dakar).
Courtney, I'd love to see your tracklist though, once the swap has closed, I'm so curious :)

The only other song I'll give up now is "Don't You Want Me" by Human League. The 80's were made for stalking.

Okay, you twisted my arm. I'll have a look at my music collection over the weekend. If I can find 15 titles, I'm in :-)

Korrynne 01/25/2008 #

oooh, i have my songs and they're good!

i'm assuming from the music subject that it'll be ok to have some bad words in the lyrics? is that ok?

Courtney 01/25/2008 #

Yes!

Hi - that's weird cause it listed you and let me rate you, but i really don't know how all this works. anyway, i don't care about the rating, just glad you got it. i was worrying just a little cause i didn't check in here, so you might pm courtney if you haven't to let her know you got hers too.
