So after moving recently we were wading in a sea of boxes
and rediscovered the BYTE compilation that featured eLECTRIC
dOLLS, one of the recent elektronicky songs Blight and I
did. And thought to myself...
"Self, why are there so few compilations coming out? Maybe
I'm just not hearing about them? What's up with that?" :?
And then I realized that anyone can just make a playlist and
share it with friends. Of course there's the problem of
seeking high and low for the songs in that playlist if you
don't have the same collection blah blah blah.
But now I've got it all figured out! :D
iTunes has this thing called iMixes, where you can make
your own playlists and write up a title and description
about it's theme and content and what you had for breakfast,
then publish it into their system. After that they give you
a link to promote it, people can search for it in the
iTunes store, etc. So basically, instead of making a label
and pressing a CD and all that hard stuff fans had to do
to really really help bands they like you can make iMixes.
Blight and I thought about it and decided we wouldn't feel
cool knowing people are making iMixes with Hate in the Box
songs in them, sending them to friends and stuff and not
getting anything so how's about this:
HOW TO GET FREE STUFF
Make some iMixes with a few Hate in the Box songs in it,
and one of the mixes gets 20 ratings with a 4 star or
better then send us the link and your address to get a
free CD. A lot of you have our albums already so we'll
give you a choice of say... Razorblade Fairytales and a
special CD with songs we haven't released yet, secret
bootleggy stuff ;)
Check out this tutorial from Apple to learn how to
get to it :)

If you want to cheat a bit, post links to the lists you
make here and we'll vote you some free stars :P
We're really curious to see what bands you mix us up with,
it'll be fun to see!
