The Tree Ideal

This tree is designed to be slightly different from regular trees. When you recieve your discs, you send copies on to the people below you without asking for anything in return - not even blanks, not even postage!

Rules

Do not sell these discs or any copies of them for more than $1 (or equivalent local currency) per disc. Make sure you copy discs in "Disc at Once" mode, not "Track at Once" mode. You should also burn "off the fly".

Note: I misspelled Rick Rubenstein's email addy earlier. It has been corrected on the list below, but not on the graphical diagram.

Tree Structure

If you are in any doubt as to what this structure means, click here to see a clearer diagramme of it. In fact, even if you do understand what it says below, take a look at the diagramme anyway - it took me a lot of time (and it's pretty damn funky!)

I should also point out that (due to the nature of the tree) there are a whole bunch of people who missed out on getting onto the tree. If you did get onto the tree and can do B+P-type deals for any of those people, please do. A full list is here.

People in italics below have already gotten their discs... and are luuuuurving them right now.

DISC 3 & 4:
Copenhagen March 15th, 2000 "lost broadcast":
 
When CC was in Copenhagen in March, the concert was supposed to be
broadcast on radio, but lawyers from the record company put a stop to
that. The radio station, however, talked to CC and they agreed to record
the show anyway. This is a copy of that recording. It was never aired,
so sound quality should be *better* than that of a regular FM broadcast.

Artwork

Got any artwork for these shows? Please mail it to me! I'm going to try to put up more than one set of artwork for each disc, so that you can choose your own.

Haikus

I haven't put up any credits, because you might want to remain anonymous or something, but if you want your name by your haiku, just email me.

My favourite was:

A.D. has dreadlocks
But they are not his real hair
I still think they rock

but I also quite liked:

As the flower sits
In the rusty windowsill,
It rises, like love
I can see the light
Though the bulb died years ago
It still lights my way
I sit on the stage
Naked and dreaming of her
What did I do wrong?

(I'm guessing you meant naked metaphorically... I hope so anyway)

El Conquistador
That word means the conqueror
In Argentina
I once saw a dog
That pretended to be me
But he could play drums

(Being in a band that once wrote a song about a canine novelist, this one is on my level!)

Punchy piano parts
Painting a perfect picture
Painful yet precious
Did you ever hear
that Adam has a book full
of baseball haiku?

(This is apparently true)
