Sign me up. I'll make one tonight.

Yes, but it won't cost much for a cassette. I would say GMKU's estimation of under $5 including shipping would be pretty accurate.

I would also suggest a cut-off date to have them done & posted & to pm me when they're sent. If they can be done & posted by the end of July possibly, for those with less time on their hands, or the perfectionists among us.

I'm on holiday from 29th to the 5th August (just in case you think I've done a runner!)

If you pm me initially, I can give you my postal address.

Well, I'll just find out how much it costs to send it this week, then send you that amount along with the tape, I guess. Rounded up to the nearest dollar, you know for labor costs.

I sent a cd to Spain and it was $5.20. I still have the box from when he gave it back.

Putting it in an envelope is cheaper.

ALSO, if you made multiple tapes you could very well get multiple back without someone else making more than one.

Yeah, you're right. I just thought about that. But don't make a whole bunch, or everyone will get yours.

I don't plan on making more than one or two because I AM POOR AND CAN'T PAY POSTAGE. I suppose I could swim over but I'd rather not. I'd be all pruny and whatnot by the time I got there. So these tapes are anything goes? Whatever the fuck I want to put on it?

Just quoting myself because I edited & added more.

And yes, anything goes as far as I'm concerned.

I think a padded envelope would do it, the worst that could happen would be a cracked case. Cassettes I think are also lighter than CD's with jewel cases.

I'll start making one tonight, because I'm a dork, and have nothing better to do.

Postage to England is far more reasonable than sending anywhere else.
(excluding Canada.) I have sent letters to shortwave stations all over the world, along with the odd LP trading with people in England, and it is very cheap, in comparison to say, Brazil, or Peru, or Russia, or South Africa, etc. Not to mention much safer.

Sign me up, too. I just finished my tape.

I am so cool with my tape editing skillz. I also made a nice bit of art for the cover.

Making cover art may just be the best part. I was thinking of having my little cousins draw something up because they are scribble masters.

I hope I don't get dq'd because I'm going to mix it all on my computer and then transfer it to a tape.

POOKIE,

you should add me to AIM or MSN as I am not able to recieve or send PMs. THX

Ditto. I just don't like PMs.

I was an avid tape-maker right up until about a year ago, when my double-deck finally shit the bed.

Otherwise, I preferred them to CDs. They're much more enjoyable to make, artwork is always fun, and I always felt a nice connection to getting one. Just felt more tangible.

So, I hope you guys have a blast with this! I know I would if I could.

Join in man, c'mon!

Mine's done! I listened back to side one last night, and it's gonna be a real drag to part with it.

Make a copy of it. That's what I did.
