Bit of a spoiler for the three others in my group, but here is my CD listing. I called it Songs from the South, and filled it with 22 tracks from Australian performers (and a couple of New Zealanders). Here's the cover art I knocked together at 2am the other night. (Don't worry about your bandwidth - it looks huge, but it's only 30KB.)

What? No Chills? No Clean? No Godstar? No Jean Paul Sartre Experience?

(Yeah, I know a little too much about NZ/Aus. indie music for my own good...)

I has a flavor!

Of course I know silverchair, Men At Work and Midnight Oil. I also love The Living End. I've heard of Crowded House and Regurgitator

But all of the tracks, even by bands I've heard of, are alien to me. Which is a good thing.

I just received Bunner's CD today, and will be giving it a listen in a few.

I'll post my thoughts on all my groups CD's eventually, but it usually takes me quite a few listens for me to get a real idea of what I really enjoy. Some of my most favorite songs are ones that played when I was too lazy or occupied to skip past them as I usually would, and I would get a good long listen. I guess it makes sense, since I really like to get into the lyrics and try to figure them out.

So... CD hasn't arrived yet?

Not yet...

And when it does, you have to remind your cd player to spin counterclockwise.

Wait a minute... what's all this talk about CD's? I thought this was a "tape" swap. All I have is a cheesy little yellow walkman with a broken rewind button and those lousy little earpieces that you have to shove in your audial canal like a hearing aid.

Is that why I couldn't get redcurrant or bunner's tapes to fit?

A pair of nail scissors, ten minutes and determination...mine'll fit.

This is unbelievable...

I loved your CD, DexX. : )

I was familiar with Cold Chisel, of course, as well as Men at Work, the Hoodoogurus, Paul Kelly, The Whitlams, Neil Finn and the Oils.

Not a clinker in the lot.

This is going on my hard drive fast access at home this summer, on the island.

Thanks.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

WHooo!! I just got DeXx's CD! Err... I mean, DexX's CD! Now, later today, I can organize a hot three way orgasm of music as I play redcurrant, bunner and DexX's mixes back to back!

And, DexX, that insert was the awesomest! Not a very erudite expression, but sincere nonetheless.

Okay, enough exclamation points for me for awhile (I'm gonna' have such a hangover in the morning).

Incidentally, what did you three think of the little bonus? Was is appreciated, or a bit wanky, or what?

I have a pile of the stuff laying around... should I bother including it in my second-round CD, in your opinions?

---

The artwork was totally cool, thanks. :) You put a lot of effort into this and it made the whole CD a bit more special.

Thanks, D.

Nah, I mean the original SC.com art.

...I did include it in your package, didn't I?

Oh, well... now that I've blown the surprise, any of the four on my second round list can request SC.com original character art if you like. I still have most of it. I'm just hoping it isn't being tossed in the bin when it arrives, that's all.

Let me think about that suggestion for a moment...

I would just like to gloat about the fact that I have the transgender bunny.

Boo-Yah!

So did I, mate.

I misread a single pronoun, Bunner... I read "You put a lot of effort into this" as "You put a lot of effort into it". I thought you were rferring to the CD cover art.

My bad. Don't mind me.

Now I need to start thinking about my second CD... More South from the South, or something different? Hmmm...
