The Go-and-Create-Something Compilation

So I was making a CD of songs to inspire people, to get them doing something, and I'd tentatively agreed with [livejournal.com profile] trishna to have it done for the Nano kick-off meeting. Trouble is, that's today, and I haven't got enough songs yet. I need maybe four or five more to make it a good full CD - and the bar's just been raised by [livejournal.com profile] miss_newham's John Peel tribute mix tape, which arrived this morning and looks fantastic. I can't give out a measly 45 minutes of music now.

Can anyone point me at mp3s of Lose Yourself? Or Dream On?

I'm still going to try and get it done, and give some out at the next meeting - but for those who don't want to wait that long, or aren't in London or aren't Nanoing, you can take advantage of my new-found ability to use the post office. I will send you the compilation, and all I ask in return is that you send me a mix of your own, no constraints, just anything you think I ought to hear. Who's interested?

If it's Aerosmith's Dream On, I can get you a copy of that no problems.

Right, the MP3 I have of Dream On is about 4.6Mb large. It'll be a 160Kbits/s VBR MP3 - not quite CD Audio quality, but good enough.

If you have a GMail account, I can mail it to there (GMail allows up to 10Mb for attachments.)

If not, I can get you a GMail account.

If you have some other account that can accept large attachments, I can mail it to there.

Whichever way, email me at philip {DOT} storry {AT} gmail {DOT} com, and something can be arranged.

I would be interested, but I have no use for your mortal CDs. I only use giant indestructible CDs full of MP3s, thus ~10 hours of music per disc - which isn't even a disc, it's just a disc-sized piece of hard-drive space. Largely comprised of things from mp3.com when it still existed, or from music I own the original CDs of in another country, so it is legal! Legal, I tell you, Secret Service spies who read all Livejournals with your magic eyes! Of doom!

Sorry. I got a bit sidetracked. I don't remember what my point was, and nor do you.

In the unlikely event that it's not Aerosmith's Dream On that you're after but The Cult's Dream On, I have the latter on mp3, and would be perfectly willing to transfer it across by whatever means necessary...

I'd be up for the CD swappy thing, I've been meaning to make some compilations anyway.
