Description:
How many songs can you fit on a CD? A non-holiday, holiday time project. For this swap, try and put only songs that are between 1 and 2 minutes duration. The end result should be between 40 to 50 songs. The Rules? I prefer to call them guidelines. That way you can deviate a little, as long as you have fun, and try for pleasing results. avoid popular tunes, in favor of making your partner discover new music. avoid live tracks. Audience/applause don't always fade-in/fade-out, and the volume level makes for an irksome transition from one song to the next. avoid stand-up comic & dialogue tracks, but maybe consider dialogue tracks with background music? makes for a better mix continuity. encourage music genre diversity. extra points (or a heart rating) for anyone who includes a tin of Sardines. 2 partners. International, 'cuz I love artists I've never heard of before. Rating of 4.5 or higher. Angeling? yeah, I'm totally up for that. P.S. - i may have been joking about the tin of sardines. I work for an international courier company, and, for some reason, U.S. and Germany do not like seafood, canned or otherwise, to cross their borders.

I am so in! What a clever idea!!!

So...how many songs did you guys manage to fit on a CD? I got 74, but I had to stretch the definition of what constitutes a "song" a few times. Maybe it'd be better to say that I got 74 tracks on a CD?

I'm mailing this one out tomorrow....

JayBab 01/14/2010 #

74? between 1 to 2 minutes? I got 48 squeezed in there.

TheAmpersand 01/14/2010 #

Well, consider that rule stretched. A lot of these tracks, particularly the early-eighties hardcore entries and some of the ambient sound-collage bits, clocked in at well under a minute. I only included two or three spoken word bits, though, which took some restraint.

Still, this project was a lot of fun, and I thank you for hosting it.
