Thanks again to Edward for the cd. I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to more. The best song for me was "Ruin my Life". Are you trying to get this made into a movie, or was this for fun?

And for goodness sakes, get Elizabeth a copy!

No December

2007-01-03T13:52:00.000-08:00

I waited with batted breath for a disk to come in the mail. Seeing that I sent a November to all. Then January rolls around, yet no disk has come for a whole month.
I am now so sad and forgotten what have I done wrong that my mailbox was empty for a whole month.
If February comes and no disk does I will just cry myself to sleep for the rest of the year.
If the reason that I did not get a disk is because the person who did December did not get my November disk then I will send it out right now but I REALLY REALLY want to hear and read December.

Thanks
Elizabeth

December Disk

2006-12-27T13:51:00.000-08:00

Hey guys-
Just wanted to leave a brief note about the December disk that arrived a couple weeks ago among all the flutter and clutter of what was then the approaching holiday season. I put the disk aside for a little while, as there was just too much commotion when it arrived to give it the attention it deserved.

Ed, I really appreciated all the time, energy, and thought you put into the mix and the treatment. I've never read a treatment before, but found it a really fascinating way to get the outline of a movie across in just a few pages. I'm a writer of mostly nonfiction books and articles, but found myself wishing I were a screenwriter when I read that treatment. I think you've got a great concept and an awesome soundtrack to make a very fine feature film.

So thanks for spending all that time on the package. It was a welcome change of pace from all the hoopla of the holidays and a chance to retreat into a different world for me.

With the great November and December disks now safely in my collection of favored CDs, I can't wait to see what's on tap for the January installment.
Thanks everyone!
Elaine

December CD

2006-12-12T11:54:00.000-08:00

Greetings all once again,

The December CD is now in the mail, and should be arriving to your homes shortly.

I followed the idea of creating a soundtrack for a film, so along with the CD I have included a film treatment for the concept I was considering while choosing the music.

I hope you all like it.

(p.s. look for the hidden track!)

December CD

2006-11-30T14:18:00.000-08:00

I am a film nut. As a graduate student in both the History and Library Science fields, I have focused all of my energy on film history and applications. I also used to be both an onair radio DJ and a DJ for hire.

Why all of that introduction? Well this month's CD will explain that away. I have been thinking about what I could do. . .and then it hit me, a mix CD developed as the perfect soundtrack for a film.

Well the CD is almost finished, however with any true film production, there must be a trailer so. . .

Stay tuned to our blog for the December 2006 Otterpop CD Club trailer

November music

2006-11-17T17:52:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the wonderful world music. I liked the Turkish stuff. Some of the club/dance selections were not for me, but to be exposed and listen to the artists was great. Thanks for all the work. Looking forward already to December.

Alex and I have been sharing mix cd's between us. The exposure to someone's music taste that I know in the flesh is great...hearing new bands, seeing what's similar and not between us....I can't wait to hear music from people I've never met. Tunes I may have never heard while riding in someone else's car, tunes that I may have thought nobody else enjoyed.

A friend of mine started a cd club called "Sharing is Caring" and the idea was to send around one cd to different people in different areas of the country. You took this cd, added a few songs, and sent along....it didn't go over quite so well. The participants eventually forgot to send it along after receiving the cd. This (otterpops) is a great idea. A whole cd from each individual and you don't have to rely on the person before you to pass it along.
