AGENDA:

>>>>7 inch

artwork:
magda will scan the images she has by Wednesday midday and attach to a post on the bb
chris will also scan his one if he can
then we will decide.

Dan will send things off down south. We will get heavy vinyl.

>>>>Multi-burning thing
“the EdgeDupe”
It will let us burn 7 cds at once without requiring a computer or any previous experience.
There is also a cheaper one at http://www.starmount.co.uk/products/187.html which costs £370 including VAT (rather than £454.99).
We’re into it.

What about labels and covers?
Chris says:
a) cds are shit
b) soon they’ll be obsolete
c) we should email people albums instead
but want to join in the death throws of CDs. in a matter of days it will all pay for itself anyway.

We will order a label printer.
Gareth will buy it (£60)
Gareth will check out multi burners and buy the cheapest/best one.

>>>>Listening post

We have it now

Chris will make a case
Jane will try and get all the music and art onto the computer.

>>>>New people involved/more acts

We’ll advertise the meetings better – in the cave.
How can people add things to the listening post?
We want it to stay locked up, and not easy to remove.
Chris will speak to sean about this.


>>>>mix tape club
we’re going to have a box where you put in one tape and another one comes out. we'll all swap tapes. We’ll have a mixtape Olympics.
Chris will ask Bill if he wants to make a box.
we'll all make mixtapes

>>>>Compilations
We’d like to make a tape compilation with some of the other submissions from the 7inch and a Forest Records compilation which will also be sold and be put on the listening post.
We’ll discuss this some other time.

dan will offer them the possible dream of appearing on the forthcoming forest compilation. but... dan doesn't have all their contact details. Anyone got some for conflict diamonds?
