another brother for the cause

along with graeme we also invited another longtime 'louisville is for lovers' friend from austria to join us. and i am happy to report our new friend Martin will be joining us for April. i hope we all can make him feel welcome!
(and i just noticed that earlier this month Hanneke wrote a comment. hi hanneke! i hope you'll join in our posts and swaps sometime! and as cydde will point out, we are low on the female involvement.)

hello and welcome martin! you'll have the luck of getting my march disc as i will be sending it next monday. i'm a bit behind before heading for europe for a trip (from australia!).

i can guarantee you will very much enjoy what comes from this, and how far your music collection gets expanded!

that's a good idea cydde, i have already sent my march discs out, but i will make copies for you martin, so you won't be left out this month (and any back swaps you want too, just ask). this is graeme's first swap and he is including a disc of local/regional music, i'd love to hear some music from your neck of the woods too!
earlier this month we all wrote a little something about ourselves for our new members, if you would like to see it, it's here:MARCHING FORWARD and if you would like to tell us a little bit about your life in Wien, we would appreciate it!
also, if you want there's a little info on swapping in the RIDE ON post.
so martin and i are doing a full album/band swap for april if there's any interest.
i'm doing a 'history of' like i did with the Dominic CiPola mix.
i am very happy to have you in our group Martin! at first leo, cydde and i didn't know each other and now we have become quite good friends!

Sadly John, my imminent move has seen almost all of my music packed into boxes so I'm afraid that it'll be some time before I get my contributions off to you all.

I burned one disc but the sound levels were all over the place - I haven't quite worked out how to sort that out yet - so it'll remain a prototype. As soon as things calm down here I'll be straight on the case...

I have received some discs from you guys, though. Which are brilliant! Thank you.

Martin, you're in for a treat.

cydde said...

i too have been recalcitrant! in the lead up to travelling i did not find the time to do my march swap, sorry to all. so when i get back to australia there will be a lot for me to send. possibly three given that may will be underway!

thanks for the three that came through before i left! i'm now in paris about to head to berlin this evening. first time in europe so it's pretty amazing. leo, i will send you an email about the show on 23 april, i can't access my work email at the moment though. you should hear from me over the next couple of days.

johnking said...

well, i guess you guys are on double secret probation until rush week is over. paris, berlin, that totally sounds international! you are an ambassador! we'll expect Euro Disney t-shirts.
that sounds amazing! actually, graeme, moving flats sounds nice too. i've been needing a change of scenery my self.
i've really enjoyed leo and teeny's mixes, and i have a cache of music heading to martin too.
be safe in your endeavors-

Hi all,
Welcome, Martin. So, my school year is winding down and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now. I'm in for the April swap. I work in the library now and we just got some new music in that is pretty ridiculous. John, Martin get ready for a blast from the past. I was dancing around my room listening to it yesterday.

Hope everyone has a good week. Safe travels Cydde!

johnking said...

awesome teeny! glad your in. do you get many new releases there? i am kinda behind on getting newer things these days.
i already sent martin my April mix (plus 4 other discs!). to spoil the surprise it is an all LUCERO mix. i've been wanting to do one for a while and it's not as well rounded as i wanted, but i couldn't afford to buy all their albums, but it covers about %90 of their work.
but i've been working on some other 'history of' mixes if you rather. damien jurado, black sabbath, magnolia electric co. if anyone is interested in any of these mixes, just let me know and i'll send it out.
if your not familiar with lucero, and you enjoy heartbreaking love songs soaked in booze, i recommend it.
anyone have any MAY ideas? summertime something or something?
leo-'every path leads me back to you' is my fav. not familiar with the singer.
-no guesses on the 'little april' reference?

teeny said...

Hey Johnny,
I've never really listened to magnolia or damien jurardo. I think i have most of the lucero that you have though. Anyway, surprise me, I'm sure whatever you choose will be good.
Happy rainy gross Wednesday!
ps. just got the new m. ward! you'll be hearing it soon. ( :

Leo said...

Welcome Martin!
I'll join in for the whole album swap. John, you spoiled the surprise indeed, now I know what will fall onto my doormat... Can't wait!!

johnking said...

you know me, i can't just do one mix. teeny wants to hear jurado, and he's excellent, and so is mag.elec. co. and black sabbath too. so who knows what all i'll do!
