The Summer Burn '08 |
The Summer Burn? Didn't that go out with Hanging? Well, no. Hanging is
still around in some parts of Dorset, and so is the Summer Burn. Of
course that's not to say it hasn't changed over the years... it started
off way back in oooh... I'd say about, er, quite a while ago, and
transmorphed like some kind of transmogriphication device into what it
is today, through the power of Renaming! That's right. Every year
it's been renamed...
last year was Summer Burn 2007, and this year we've gone all trendy and
put an apostrophy in, partly because we can't be arsed to write "20" all
the time. It all comes down to efficiency in the end.
You all know what it is by now, and if you don't you can always check
the faq.
Right then, same format as last year so you'd better get out and find a
postcard to send to Taz... That's right folks, I'm back and I'm ready to
take on the world, one postcard at a time.
All you have to do is this.
- Signup with your address details using the form below
(don't worry, we're not some nasty spamming site and we
won't do anything other than use them for this)
- Send us a postcard with both your username
and confirmation code on it, clearly marked
and legible please. To confirm your involvement you
must send us a postcard including the
confirmation code which we'll send to you when you first
sign up. If we don't get a card from you before the 21st
of June, you won't be taking part.
- Burn 2 CDs of your favourite summer tunes.
- On the first day of Summer you'll get an e-mail from us
telling you who you should send 2 CDs to.
- Post them off to the addresses you receive from us
within a week of receiving the e-mail.
- Sit back and relax, and wait for yours to come through the
post from the people that have been selected to send you one!
- ... and thats it! You get 2 new CDs full of music to while
away the summer heat to. Great innit?
And best of all, this is open to anyone over the age of 18.
We had loads of people last year ecstatic with music they'd received
from different parts of the globe!
So, if you want to participate, all you have to do is fill in the form
below with your address
details, follow the confirmation instructions, start putting together
your Summer Burn CD, and wait for us to send you an email about the
next stage.
N.B. This whole thing relies on Trust - if you don't send CDs
in turn, then you're nasty, and someone will be sitting somewhere
tuneless and with no smile on their face. Now why would you want to do
that?
You can get in touch with us here if you want to for any reason:
summerburn@funjunkie.co.uk
Legal Disclaimer: Of course, we officially advise any
participants that trading copyrighted music is probably illegal and so
to only use music not held under any copyright restrictions.
Whether you do that or not is not something we can control.
For more information there's a Summer Burn FAQ.
If you have already signed up and want to check your registration status
you can do so here.
There's even a forum you can discuss anything you like about this year's
Burn to (playlists, CD covers etc)
over here.
If you'd like to get inspiration or show off you cover artwork, we've
got a
Flickr
group for you too.
Right, fingers at the ready...

World's first photograph.
The world's first known photograph has just recently been re-discovered over 140 years after it originally went missing. It was taken in March 1824 by the British photographic pioneer Sir William Knightley and featured a view of the Tower of London. It was re-discovered in the "express service" section of the laboratories of Bonus Print Ltd.

So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up and he said "You've been promoted." And I swerved.
And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted again." And I swerved again.
He rang up a third time and said "You're managing director." And I went into a tree.
And a policeman came up and said "What happened to you?"
And I Said "I careered off the road."
