All About The Green Monkey Music Project

============================
An Explanation:
============================

The Green Monkey Music Project (GMMP) is all about the magic of the mixtape, but it's a mixtape with a twist.

Instead of all the selections originating with a single mixologist, GMMP is more of a collaborative effort.

Here's how it works. I announce the rules of an upcoming mix, then ask for participants, who can join as long as there are open slots left.

The participants provide the names of songs (w/artist) honoring the spirit of the mix. I obtain the songs, organize the mix, and publish it on my blog.

The participants have the option of discussing their selections after the mix has been made publicly available (a post on their own blog is the preferred method of this discussion).

Being a participant in a GMMP mix is painless, fun, and you get to share music you love with many fellow music-lovers.

Plus, after you participate in a mix, you get to display this bitchin' badge on your blog:



So, what are you waiting for?

I'll post more details about the next volume a little later, but I'll tell you the title (from which you'll probably figure it out anyways).
