Resisting the temptation to tinker...I DID hear a really good album today, but...

 

[cobl04]

You'll have mine tonight Lemel. Gonna tinker for a couple hours then upload.

Ashley is dedicating the weekend to hers, so hopefully we'll be nearing the halfway mark on entries by Monday.

The best part of running this is receiving the lists. The master list threads are cool but the surprise ends really quickly.

I would like to move this along, but I only have 4 lists, including my own.

Mine is finally done, I think. I just need to format the whole thing, change files over to mp3, make some art to accompany it, etc.

 

[cobl04]

You should call it "The World Only Spins Forward"

 

[iron yuppie]

On the shortlist of potential names.

Forgive me if this is a nitpicky question, but if I'm using a officially released radio edit/single mix of a song, do I indicate this parenthetically in the title? And do I still credit it to the album it's from (in a longer version) or repeat the title so that the single itself is the "album"?

 

[Afliktor]

Fun fact about my playlist (barring any changes): there is not a single song released before the year 2000.

nice, same for me. i had a couple 90s songs but ended up switching them out.

so the first 10 or so songs in my list are locked down, but from there i'm being indecisive. gonna listen to the current iteration today. also still need a title and an album cover. but i should be able to finish it by monday.

Denote that it's a different mix then credit the single release.

I'm sure most here will know the Invisble (Red Edit) you incorporate is different from the track thats on U2's new double album.

Yeah, this.

If the mix is also available on a popular compilation, I typically credit that instead of the single release (if someone really loves the track, it's easier to find), but that's not a requirement or anything.

 

[iron yuppie]

So what uploading services do you all use for these types of things?

 

[cobl04]

I'm thinking I might just upload mine to soundcloud.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

Lemonmelon, I emailed you my list. Just want to make sure, did you get it? And are the pics in an ok format and is my music file done ok? Sorry, it's been a while since I have done a DI.

I use Dropbox or Google Drive.

Should be just fine. Believe me, you're not the first to have their music file out of sequence.

Thanks, LM. Have any spots opened up for me so far?

Axver bowed out, so you're one step closer. Peef took his place and you are now the first alternate. If anyone else drops out, you'll be in.

 

[Joey788]

I'm working on simultaneous playlists, though I'm conflicted which way to go. It's either going to be a themeless collection of personal favorites, or a darkly-themed, edge-of-cracking type of music.

Any preferences?

 

[Axver]

If I'd stuck around, mine was going to be a themeless collection of personal favourites - much like the original DI I lists were.

 

[iron yuppie]

Go with the dark one.

Give her my slot.

 

[cobl04]

No! Stay in IWB (srsly)

 

[LemonMelon]

What's the verdict, IWB? You serious?

 

[IWasBored]

I'll let you know in a day or two.

 

[lazarus]

in a day or two

 

[IWasBored]

I don't know what that is.
