I personally want to be paired with Ult hoping that he throws his hat into the ring.

I have personally never set up a drop-box account and I am a bit of a technotard.

In answer to the Corporal's question, the majority of us here have RYM accounts as well so that you can avoid the crossover.

Holy crap, I never thought about RYM. Genius idea.

Phoenix, if they pair me up with you, please nothing with a DR less than 12. 

whats a DR?

Haha I should've said Dynamic Range Score Indication in the average of track consistency but please make sure the tonal balance is relative to first pressing...  

I'd be interesting in playing along.

Good, we need someone interesting around here to contribute. 

The mos4 fun part if this is reading the reviews, so without them this is pointless imo. I'm not sure there are anyone left here for me to swap with? LoL BearOnUnicycle perhaps?

Me. I'm a comp swap virgin.

I would be interested again as I always have been turned on to a couple of new bands each time.
But I am waaaaaay behind technology-wise and will probably only do physical cd swap (if that makes me ineligible, that's fine).

I would love to participate. I like underground/obscure thrash. But I love being surprised with eclectic stuff. I'm willing to trade a disc. How would digital work? E-mail?

Agreed the reviews are my favorite part of the swap I also enjoyed the effort, at least in the previous swap I was in, with the making of cd's and artwork, at least that's what me and PRD did...

I will review, promise.

Kmorg - we've never swapped on the comp swap but then again Im NOT signing up this year for it... heh

Ok. I'm down if I get paired with BearOnUnicycle then CD or mp3, I go both ways (that sounded wrong) :-)

I remember being paired with Citanul, OSI and Ghost in the past. I also would not want to be paired with toho since we share a lot of the same interests.

I can remember being paired with kmorg, UncleSaxon, chewie, and Olaf. There were others, but damned if I remember who...

X2. I enjoy reading them as well and writing them was pretty fun also. Are you gonna make another sticky for the reviews?

Email's probably not a good idea due to the size of the files. The best way would be to upload it to a file hosting site and send the link to the person you're paired with. Dropbox has already been mentioned in the thread and I used Google Drive last year, so that's another option.

Ok, I've decided that I will just do blind/random pairing, for simplicity, and also because most people seem down with being surprised.

I will separate it into digital and physical, and random pair from those two lists.

I've already done my comps for Kmorg

Ha, well you two can be auto-paired then.

Damn, that was fast!! :-D

Whoever I am paired with can make a variety. Just check my RYM and note the wide range of stuff contained therein.

One of the things that I really liked about Kmorg's comp was that he included a disc of nothing but classic Christian metal that I still spin now. It was fantastic to hear the bands that I had never heard of growing up.

I think I'm gonna sit this one out......DallasBlack and I had a great swap last time, I still listen to those discs!

Ok, I went ahead and did the pairings so people could get started and all. There was an odd amount of people, so I did one three-person group...if it's an issue, maybe we can work something out.

So here are the pairs:
Bearonunicycle/Kmorg (since some comps have already been done)
ZombieHavoc/Cruedevil71
Corplhicks/SideShowDisaster
Jettafiend/Short-Fuse
AllThingsMetal/Martinsane
Exact33/Wurthless

and then Orion Crystal Ice/Pheonix Reign Drummer/Citanul...you guys could either each exchange with each, or do like a circle. Orion gives to Phoenix, Phoenix gives to Citanul and Citanul gives to Orion?

Any issues here for anyone?

Cool. I will start working on this tonight!
