Holiday Mix Exchange + Music Wednesdays 2010

[coverallthebasses]

The 2009 glee_fans mix exchange is now beginning!

Please comment below by next Monday, December 14 if you would like to participate with the following:

Favorite genres (3 tops) (you can link to a description on wiki or something in case it's not so obvious)
Current favorite bands (3 tops)
Current favorite songs (3 tops)
Guilty pleasure songs/bands (5 tops)
Favorite character/pairing (if you would like the mix to be themed around them, not necessary though!)
Do you want holiday music? (if so, specify your holiday)
How you would like to receive your mix (e.g., YouSendIt, email, Megaupload, Sendspace, etc.)
If applicable, a link to your entry in the friending meme would be helpful!

I will private message everyone Monday evening with who they are making their mix for and the info! There is a minimum of 8 songs per mix so everyone feels like they're getting back as much as they're putting in :)

ETA: More Rules
-- Again, 8 songs minimum
-- Upload your mix yourself, preferably using your recipient's preferences. PM me the link and I'll pass it on. A reveal post will be up once I have them all sorted.
-- Official deadline is December 28, with the latest extension being December 31.

------

Starting on the first week of January check glee_fans every Wednesday for Music Wednesdays! I will post a small EP (4-5 max) of songs centred around characters (e.g., songs that describe them, songs they'd want to sing in New Directions, anything goes... I'll take some artistic liberties ;)).

January 6: Will
January 13: Terri
January 20: Sue
January 27: Emma
February 3: Tina
February 10: Artie
February 17: Kurt
February 24: Mercedes
March 3: Mike & Matt
March 10: Brittany & Santana
March 17: Puck
March 24: Rachel
March 31: Finn
April 7: Quinn

Favorite genres (3 tops): alt-indie, pop (I know this is vague but that's because I'm not so much a genre person as I am an act/singer person; but alt-indie is probably the best bet for me to like something at the moment)

Current favorite songs: 'Teeth' by Lady Gaga, Collect Call by Metric, I've Got Friends by Manchester Orchestra
Guilty pleasure songs/bands: Chipmunk covers, those Punk Goes Crunk cover CDs

Do you want holiday music? I just downloaded a bunch of holiday music, so no thank you.
How you would like to receive your mix Mediafire or Sendspace please but whatever is best for you
If applicable, a link to your entry in the friending meme would be helpful!
Here is my part about music from the meme:

When will we post the mixes? I have some other holiday exchanges coming up and want to make sure I don't overload. Thanks!

[coverallthebasses]

The ultimate latest is Dec 31 but ideally the day after Christmas. Does that work for you? I hope you can still participate!

[kaizoku]

Cool. I might post a day late, if that's okay, because I'm traveling Dec 26.

[coverallthebasses]

That's totally fine!

[kaizoku]

Current favorite bands: Santogold, The Wailin' Jennys, Mika

Do you want holiday music?: I wouldn't mind a couple of tracks mixed in. Especially Hanukkah music. :-)
How you would like to receive your mix: Megaupload or Box.net (i.e. something that won't go away in 2 weeks)

I have very eclectic tastes. Don't be afraid to use a mix of genres. If you're looking for ideas, something in the vein of "Sue's BAMF Playlist" or "Songs Mercedes Could Totally Kill" would be fun.

I thought I messaged you but just in case it didn't go through, is there a maximum number of songs?
