A few months ago, I helped out frykitty on her Greenshoes Project. Her idea is sort of a snail-mail Napster: people burn mixes of music they like on a CD, send it to her, and in exchange get a CD mix someone else made. The catch: you’re not allowed to know what’s on the CD until you get it. So you can discover new music you otherwise wouldn’t hear. (The nice folks at South to the Future used to offer something similar, but now I see they’ve taken it down.)

Anyway, I’ve got a mix available for trading (#4). I don’t remember what I put on it — there was some power poppy stuff, and some Tricky, I remember that — but feel free to swap away.
