Tape Recorded Delivery #2 swap and #3 theme

It's the end of the month, who has a mix ready?! If everyone with a mix leaves a comment with what format they can make, and what they'd like to receive, I'll put names into a hat and sort out a swap.

PLUS - what should our theme for May be? Suggestions so far include people and places and DANCING. Any preferences or other suggestions? Comment-me-do!

April 2012 - Tape Recorded Delivery #2, Communication (Questions and Answers)

We have a theme for April! The idea is to work songs around questions and answers, but anything to do with communication more broadly would be great!

There will be a blog post at the end of April on which people can comment to say that they want to swap a mix (make sure to say what format you would like!), then  everyone's names will go in a hat, or other hat-like item, so that senders and receivers can be matched up.

Also, feel free to comment on below if you have suggestions for a theme for May's mix #3!

Review - March 2012 - Tape Recorded Delivery #1, Food

Here is one of the Food mixes made for the inaugural TRD mix swap. The plan is to have a 'review' blog post after each month, so that we can see what different ways people interpreted the themes - and see what are the biggest theme-related hits. (I don't know if you can post pictures in the comments section - so maybe these could be sent to matthewevans123@hotmail.com, and then I'll include them in the post?)
