Description:

I live in Salt Lake City, where every weekend many awesome bands play the clubs and bars. I think it would be really fun to support those bands and introduce others to their music through a SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC swap. hurray!

Everyone who signs up for this swap will need to buy a cd from a local band that they like and send it off to their partner.

You can send any kind of music and any length of cd (try for at least 3 tracks), but the cd must be these 2 things:

  1. The cd has to be a purchased copy of the bands music. Usually this wont cost you more than $10 because they want to get their music out there. No pirated discs, the purpose of this swap is to support them.

  2. The cd also has to be from a band that is relatively small. For example, if you live in Boise and want to send a Built to Spill record, that would be OK because they arent already selling millions of records. Think indie! Or even that house band that plays on Thursdays at your favorite bar. Hopefully that makes sense, if anybody has any questions about this, please email. Just keep in mind, we are trying to support musicians that need some supportin.

I am pushing the dates back far enough to allow for everybody to find their cd, so look now :)

And for the technical stuff: this will be an International swap with 4 or higher ratings.

I\'m a newbie to swapbot, hope I can join. I love hearing new music and live in a big university town, so there are TONS of choices for me...Thanks!

If you are a newbie and would like to join please message me and I will choose case by case. There is someone going around swap bot signing up to get the swap and then deleting their profile to sign up with a new one, so I\'m going to be picky about newbies.

Hello, i´m also a newbie but would love to join as i´m always interested in getting to know different styles,beats and bands...i´ve already signed up for another swap so should have some credits by the time this one starts-hope its ok with you?!

Vee - if you'll have good ratings before the swap starts, then your welcome to the swap.

Hey everyone! I just joined swap-bot today and I would absolutely LOVE to join this swap, but I do not have any rating at all. This will be my first swap. I love music so this is one of the swaps that appeals to me GREATLY! I already have something in mind to swap for this. I hope it is okay with you Joanne if I join. *fingers crossed.

Malory - thanks for the cd, I am listening to it right now and it is cool!

yarnpie 04/ 7/2007 #

Brooke, yours went in the mail on Thursday - I hope you like her. Thanks!

heads up: my partener that i sent to now has a deleated account...

im going to assume that someone may get screwed on this swap- and that im not going to get rated...

bummer.

yarnpie 04/ 7/2007 #

analog, that sux! She didn't have many 1's until after the swap started, but now I wish I would have banned her! Well, I can't make up for the rating, but I'm gonna take care of her partner. Thanks for letting me know.

Mrs Q thanks a ton for the cd...can't wait to give it a listen!

yarnpie 04/13/2007 #

Malory - your package is in the mail - let me know when you receive it please :)

Cupcakecalamity 04/18/2007 #

Hey Analog! Please let me know when you get your package! thanks!

If someone had me, can they let me know. I have a clear feeling that I'm the one who got screwed by 'account to be deleted'. Thanks

Margee: I just sent you a private message. Sorry to be so late. I've received nothing as of today, so I'm thinking I'm the one who had "account to be deleted" for a partner. Oh well :(

user6332 04/26/2007 #

Oh, I see when I go to rate my partner, it reveals who it is. Well, I gave her a 1 for now, but she is overseas (although she is still marked "Not Sent") so I'll re-evaluate that if and when I get a CD.

I hope, Margee, you enjoy the Avatars. I have to go back and get one for myself. Support local music, yeah baby!
