What happened was this: As a way of getting to know one another, each listee posted their "Desert Island Disks," which are the 10 CDs you would take with you if you were stranded on a desert island. We noticed there were some remarkable similarities, and a list of everyone's choices was compiled. From that I extracted our favorite artists. We voted on our favorite songs by those artists, and arrived at the tracklisting you see below.
I volunteered to coordinate the project as I am a college student with an excessive CD collection, a CD burner on my computer, and too much free time.
Basically, this is just a favor I'm doing for an increasingly closely-knit group of online friends. Anyone who'd like a CD is welcomed to one (or several), I only ask that you help me out with the cost of materials, as enumerated below.
R.E.M.: Daysleeper 3:39 Radiohead: Fake Plastic Trees 4:50 Tori Amos: Pretty Good Year 3:26 The Beatles: Across the Universe 3:43 The Smiths: Girlfriend in a Coma 2:01 Smashing Pumpkins: 1979 4:25 David Bowie: Space Oddity 5:18 Pearl Jam: Better Man 4:28 Belle and Sebastian: The State that I am In 4:57 They Might Be Giants: End of the Tour 3:18 Air: Sexy Boy 4:58 Pink Floyd: Brain Damage/Eclipse 5:54 The Cure: Boys Don't Cry 2:34 U2: With or Without You 4:56Plus a few surprises... :-)
Send me an email with your name, address, the number of CDs you want, and this figure:
I'll send you an email with my address. Upon receipt of your payment, I will promptly send out your CD(s).
Your package will be shipped in a manilla bubble-padded envelope via the mighty US Postal Service's airmail, and should arrive within 3 days of my receipt of your payment for those in North America, or 7-10 days for those in Europe, South America, or the Pacific Rim.
