CD Swap Instructions

Well, sign ups have officially ended for 2010 CD Swap! People from all over will be swapping awesome music within the next week. I can't wait!
Tricia and I will be sitting down this week to pair up names and addresses. If you're looking for what to do in the mean time, here are a few suggestions for your CD that you can start preparing.
Remember to include:

• A proper numerical list of which songs you have included on your CD (name + artist) so the person receiving your CD can then look up more info on the artist if they're interested.
• Your return address on the outside package.

Check here if you're looking for some ideas and inspiration for packaging your CD.

Other suggestions for a perfect mix CD to be swapped:

• Try to make your CD as eclectic as possible. Of course, still add songs that are YOUR favorite, but the more genres you have, the more likely the person receiving your CD will find a song they love.
• Try to add artists or songs that you don't think a lot of people know. Again, still put your favorites. 
• Name your mix

Those last few are just suggestions. 

If it's been a while, and you haven't received a CD, just email us and we'll check on it for you. No one will go without receiving a CD, so just let us know and we'll make it happen. 

If you can't hold up your end of the deal, it's no problem! We can at any time take your name out of the hat and fix the gap. No harm done. We understand that life gets in the way. 

If it is after Monday, September 21, 2010, and you haven't gotten an email from us with an address to send your CD to, then let us know and we'll correct it!

Always remember that you are more than welcome to send us any special requests you have. Example: you hate country music, you'd like to send out more than one CD, you'd like to receive more than one CD, you'd like to receive music from a guy/girl, etc. We're very flexible. 

If you are reading this, didn't sign up before sign ups ended, and would like to, email us and we might can still work something out. No promises, but we'll definitely try.

Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. Be expecting an email with an address within the next few days and get excited for new music!!!!

Do you have your songs picked out? I don't!

Calling all music lovers!

My friend, Tricia, introduced me to the idea of a CD swap a little while ago. A few of her friends put together CDs of their favorite tunes and swapped them! I thought it was such a great idea! So now I'm opening up the swap party to even more people. Here's what will happen.

1. Sign up! Sign ups will last until Monday, September 20, 2010. If you are interested in the participating in the CD Swap, e-mail your name and mailing address to odelmavintage@gmail.com.
With the request of my boyfriend, if you are a guy and would like to be paired with another guy, just say so in the email. Or if you have any other special requests, just let us know!

2. Start thinking of your favorite songs to put on a CD!

3. Once the sign up period is closed, Tricia and I will send you an email with another participant's name and address.

4. Send your CD to the name and address provided!!

Simple, simple! Who doesn't love new music and receiving goodies in the mail?

I made a few silly buttons to put on your blog to spread the word. The more people, the more music to be shared!
