Brothers,
I'm finally getting around to asking if you would like to start an annual mix CD exchange. Since there are four of us, we would rotate quarterly somehow; perhaps with the seasons. I call winter! Who will take spring? Because you are next.
I miss collaborating with you all. When we get together, it seems we have a great time goofing around and talking nonsense, just as we did in our youths of yesteryear, when we made G.I. Joe and LEGO and movies and P.S.A.'s. But with us all living in different cities now, I feel those times are too few and far between.
We used to have access to what seemed like an endlessly great collection of music when we lived together, with four of us in pursuit of the next big thing. I want to get a piece of that back. I want to know what you have discovered, and maybe you'll enjoy something I have found.
To accompany this mix CD exchange, I created a blog, where we can each contribute and administrate. We can discuss our mixes, as well as any other topics for which any of us wishes an outlet. I will likely post album reviews. There could be book, movie or play reviews. You could post your poetry or fiction, photographs, scientific discoveries, golf scores, or an historical exposé.
It sounds like boring blog stuff, but I think the magic will be with the four of us working on it together, like Voltron, or Captain Planet, or the Power Rangers. Perhaps it would attract outside readers, and we could become rich and famous! But if it doesn't, we should at least be able to entertain each other.
Love,
Reid*
P.S. This is all possible, of course, if you guys have the time and/or interest. I will not be the least bit insulted if you don't, especially because you've read this far down the letter and have given my pitch a chance without shredding it into tiny bits and pieces!

Go teach your grandma to suck eggs! Oh wait, that'd be my grandma too.I think it's a good idea. Ever since I got the cd & letter I've been thinking about what I'd put on a mix these days. I will do spring if nobody else has claimed it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, which grandma?
ReplyDeleteSo you're in! Good deal. Neal claimed spring, and I think Pierce took summer. How does fall sound to you? You get bonus points for being the first to chime in on the blog, anyway.
I was thinking... if we really wanted to get crazy, we could alternate every month. Each one handling 3 mixes a year. Do you think that would be too much?
I might run out of music pretty quick but I am up for trying
ReplyDeleteYeah, me too. We'll see what the others think.
DeletePretty sure I can't come up with that much new music. Right now I think I am at five or six songs without putting too much thought into it.
DeleteAlright, the schedule is: Reid=Winter (January), Neal=Spring (April), Pierce=Summer (July), Joel=Fall (October).
