I have not seen any cd mix swaps like this one yet, so here's my first attempt at giving swap coordination a go....

What songs would be PERFECT for cranking up really loud, on a warm sunny day, when you're riding in a convertible with the top down? You know the type..... the ones that make you stick your hands out of or blow bubbles out of the sunroof (and your passenger does the same), just to feel the air whooshing by as you are signing along and absorbing this perfect song, in a fast car, in the way that makes your heart sing!!! You need not own a convertible to join. ;) Now hurry, go through your music collection and burn a CD with at least 15 songs on it for your 2 partners. That's 2 cds.... they may be alike or different, whatever you choose. Provided everyone plays by the rules (newbies welcome, I will angel if necessary), think of all the great tunes you can just slip into your car or upload on your ipod and picture your smile and your heart soaring as you drive along, fueled by this powerful music. Come, let's play!!! You have 3 weeks after the initial sign-up to get your cds burned and mailed. I can't wait to make mine!!

What sort of music are we talking about? Rock? Country? Do you have to base it off your partner's profile, or is this a 'senders choice' sort of swap?

Yeah, those were my questions too.

Hi, thank you for your questions. No specific genre of music is required. Whatever YOU think would sound great in a convertible on a sunny day.

I'm getting together my list of songs.... it has everything from classic rock to some techno to a Hawaiian man singing a version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"..... so feel free to be eclectic! Kelli

Sorry for the delay in assigning partners.... it was actually a busy weekend which is unusual but GREAT for me. Anyways, 'tis all done, enjoy, I look forward to having some good fun with the top down (or at least the windows open). Kelli

  3. Daylight (Delerium f. Matthew Sweet)
  4. Insomnia (Faithless)

You are invited (but not required) to post your playlist.... but think of how much the heart grows just by hearing music.... especially the kind played with the top down, cranked full blast... :)

hi all, i just made a mix for a similar, concurrent swap (some of you are also doing that one!) that i love so much that i'm going to send it to my partners in this swap; it's absolutely perfect for both and includes some of my favorite songs, so i didn't want to make another and gyp these partners! if you didn't get it from me in the last swap (dog days of summer) or this one, i'd love to swap with you, so please let me know if you're interested! i will post the playlist a bit after i've sent it, so my partners can be surprised! :), sschlegel
