Big Al Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 (edited) Thanks to fent99 for letting me pinch-hit for him. I had a blast with my last BFT, and I got the impression that a lot of y'all did as well. It'll only be one disc, with two themes that'll be easy to spot, with an overall emphasis on fun and whimsy just like the last disc. I'm gonna try and go the yousendit route, but if anyone wants a CD, just send me your mailing address via PM.

I had to split up the zip files so I could upload for free. Let me know if any technical difficulties arise.

Dan Gould Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Al, I think I'll jump back in for yours, though I don't know how much time I'll have to devote. I know that yousendit has started being annoying with restrictions on non-paying accounts, so I want to suggest rapidshare.com as an option. You can zip a file and send the link, the only restriction is that non-paying users have to wait a minute or two before they can download. And with only one disc, you won't run into the restrictions on how much you can download in a given time period. Quote
Big Al Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely go with rapidshare.com then. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Put me down on the list please Al! MG Quote

Big Al Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 Up, scrounging for more participants. Has interest in BFT's dried up? I have six particpants, two of whom are participating at gunpoint. Quote
mikeweil Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Add Mr. Bassman - he asked how things are at the rehearsal today, you can send a copy for him along with mine, or I'll make one for him. We'll see each other on a weekly basis due to rehearsals and gigs starting next week. Edited January 14, 2008 by mikeweil Quote
king ubu Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 If it's a download, I'll go for it again as it involves no additional work - I haven't posted any comments on #51-53, and I apologise for that. Yet I'm still not sure I will be able to post a lot on this upcoming one, but as I said, if you do it the download way, I'd gladly accept a PM with the links once you're done with it! Quote
Big Al Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Posted January 15, 2008 I've updated the list to show who's getting CDRs and who's downloading. You can always change from one to the other. Quote
Spontooneous Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Aww, it's been too long since I did one of these. Put me on as a downloader, please. Quote
Big Al Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 Aww, it's been too long since I did one of these. Put me on as a downloader, please. Done! Quote
Big Al Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Posted January 20, 2008 Last call! Looks like this is gonna be a short discussion with so few participants. I'm gonna send the physical discs out on Tuesday, and after the first particpant tells me he's received his, I'll make the download available. Quote
Big Al Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 All discs were mailed out today. I put Mr. Bassman's discs in the same envelope as mikeweil's. The link to the download will (hopefully) be up no later than Thursday night/Friday morning (depending on where you live). It's two CDs with no theme. If you find a theme or two, you get extra points. All I did was start grabbing CDs off the shelf and when it was all said and done, I had two CDs of songs I really enjoy and no desire to trim it down. If you remember my last BFT, you could easily call this collection "More of the Same, Only Much More of It." Nothing challenging, nothing too obscure; just two CDs chock fulla groovy tunes! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if someone aces this thing! Hopefully, once the link to the download is up, more folks will join in! Quote

I thought those options were different routes or servers or something. When I used them, one of them was marked as the preferred one and I just used that. MG Quote
Big Al Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Links to the downloads have been posted in the first post! Good luck and happy listening! Edited January 26, 2008 by Big Al Quote
Big Al Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Posted January 26, 2008 If anyone hasn't signed up and just wants to download, be my guest. Hope you'll contribute as well! Quote
Bright Moments Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 discs received!!! thanks big al!!! Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Links to the downloads have been posted in the first post! Good luck and happy listening! Rapidshare has limits on how much you can download if you are using a "free" account but there are ways to defeat that. If you have a high-speed modem, simply unplug and re-plug the device. You'll have a new IP when you go on (close your rapidshare browser window first) and you can download the next portion without waiting an hour or two. Quote
Big Al Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Posted January 27, 2008 Thanks for posting that. I was not aware of that. Quote

How can you tell if you have a high speed modem or not? (Stupid question of the week/month/perhaps year, but I really don't know.) MG Quote
sidewinder Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I think the wait is about 50 minutes between loads on Rapidshare. Not too bad - I'm nearly there. Edited January 27, 2008 by sidewinder Quote
