Description:
Original idea by Kimmie~http://www.swap-bot.com/member/?id=5486 If you were recently in the Riot Grrrl Mix CD swap, and were disappointed when it was cancelled (this was due to a lack of interest in the swap, which is really sad because so many more grrrls should be listening to this amazing music!!), then those who were in the swap coordinated by Kimmie may also want to sign up for this one, and hopefully, more of you will also join in and show yer genuine interest in this type of music, which is both revolutionary and really very pretty. Examples of riot grrrl bands are: Bikini Kill, Huggy Bear, Babes In Toyland, 7 Year Bitch, Frumpies, Le Tigre, Julie Ruin, the Bangs, Heavens to Betsy, L7, Sleater-Kinney, Hole/Courtney Love, Ani DiFranco, the Donnas, the PeeChees, Free Kitten, Bratmobile, the Gossip and Mocket. If you are interested in joining this swap and do not know what riot grrrl music is and are curious, you can download most of the above mentioned bands on LimeWire, or here: http://www.betterpropaganda.com/artist_page.asp?id=621 Now, for the swap. The CD must have at least 15 songs, and try to keep band repeats to a minimum of 2. You will have 2 partners. I will be checking profiles, and seeing who qualifies for this swap. Qualifications include NO no sends or ratings lower than 1 (I understand sometimes mail gets lost, but there will be no exceptions to this rule this time). Newbies are welcome to join in, as long as you have an extensively filled out profile. That means, telling us all about yourself and your interests in more than 3 words. I reserve the right to ban anyone who does not meet these qualifications. This is an international swap.

Uh, just checkin': nobody's gonna be offended by 'bad' language in songs for this swap right? :)

SheriFaerie 06/ 4/2007 #

Nah, I think that comes naturally within the riot grrrl movement. winks

alicepalace 06/ 5/2007 #

that's what i thought, but you never know...

PennyArcade 06/ 6/2007 #

does it have to fall under the riot grrrl category or can it be some girl bands that kick a whole lotta ass? (im thinking heart etc.."

bethanne 06/ 7/2007 #

Yeah, I find it hard to choose any RiotGrrl bands that aren't from the early-mid 90s - is this what you are looking for, or could we do the Donnas or something else more recent that's all girls? How about earlier all girl bands like The Shaggs?

bethanne 06/ 7/2007 #

Oops, I didn't realize The Donnas were on the list - I guess I don't think of them as RiotGrrl.

SheriFaerie 06/ 7/2007 #

Anything goes when it comes to RiotGrrrl, I think. As long as they are female and rock on the guitar. They can be political feminists like Bikini Kill, or they can be boy crazy like the Donnas. I guess I just used the term RiotGrrrl to sum up any girl that plays an instrument and has the determination to succeed in an area where men dominate. So yeah, Heart is a perfect example of RiotGrrrl in this sense, as is any female based band that plays their own instruments.:c)

bethanne 06/ 8/2007 #

Ooh, I love Heart! I'm going to add them! I've already got a couple of older bands that are woman-based!

Halfmad 06/17/2007 #

Okay, I'm in! I am really excited to share some of my favorites and to hear more from your favorites! Yay! Hopefully my tunez will be filled with people you haven't heard of or if you've heard, at least you like!

i'm so excited :D i've even done my cds early so they're all ready to go when I get my partners XD

I guess I'll post again since the computer just ate my comment.

As I can't burn mix cds I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make an extra copy of what you're sending for this and swap with me one on one. I could make you something, like notecards, a knotted bookmark, embroidered pin, mini totebag, handstitched patch, or maybe something else if you have suggestions. You would have to send to Sweden. Message me if you're interested.

I just got a 'you haven't sent your items and it's past the swap date' e-mail! But it's still July 1st isn't it?? I don't get it.. i thought these mails would go out, you know, actually after the last day to send.

(I have messaged my partners about the fact that i'm sending tomorrow - the PO is closed here on Sundays and i've had a ridiculous week).

SheriFaerie 07/ 2/2007 #

Alice-Palace~ I didn't even know they sent those type of e-mails... This is SUCH a strict website about swapping! Don't worry about it if you have contacted your swap partners about being late.

SheriFaerie 07/ 2/2007 #

Kittencore~ Your CD will be on it's way soon... I marked it as sent already, but I have to take yours to the post office and fill out a customs form, which I didn't have to do for my other partner (who was in the US--and I mailed hers with US stamps, which is why I marked them sent already, if that makes any sense...). I will be mailing it bewteen July 9th-12th. I'm sooo sorry for the delay, and hope you enjoy the mix!
