it is still a thing, even if we have to put it out as a mini-LP instead of our usual night-of-a-thousand-ilxors.

St Swithins Day has been and gone, and we will have 40 more days of ILX0rs be finishing their mixes, I guess?

hi guys my mac exploded last week and together with my recording on garageband. i can do it again but it'll take a couple of weeks (and try and find a good PC program to record on my laptop), so don't wait for me if you're all ready :(

spent days trying to fix a digital glitch in best take of main vocal track, if you hear it just smile and pretend you didn't

got it!
who else is still in for this? my track is done.
― orinoco flowbee (get bent), Monday, 1 August 2011 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
would love to have at least 10 songs; we have 7 right now.
― orinoco flowbee (get bent), Monday, 1 August 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
oh dang I completely slept on this. I can bang something out tomorrow, so count me in!
― swaguirre, the wrath of basedgod (bernard snowy), Monday, 1 August 2011 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
I can do another song if you like, but you gotta give me another weekend. I was thinking about doing a Britney track next, though it's one of the album tracks off the latest album so I don't know if that counts within the remit tho I'm sure the album sold a bazillion copies even if it wasn't a single?
― Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 09:30 (twelve years ago) link
OMG, someone just gave me the idea of doing a Britney song in Cornish...

I mean, obviously not that track (and I'd like to think I can sing slightly better than that) but as a concept! Do want!
― Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 10:36 (twelve years ago) link
if i can get some kind of recording set up working, I will do this for 21st Aug.
― Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 10:51 (twelve years ago) link
sure, do an album track. "singles" are slippery concept these days.
― orinoco flowbee (get bent), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:32 (twelve years ago) link
Cool, thanks, will do.

I'm down to do another, what's been taken?
― dutty whiney (The Reverend), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
i've received "s&m," "tik tok," "till the world ends," "dj got us fallin in love," "firework," "unthinkable," "6 foot 7 foot" -- other track ideas are purely conceptual at this point.
― orinoco flowbee (get bent), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 21:25 (twelve years ago) link
received "broken record" too.
Sorry, I've bitten off more than I can chew this month, and I'm not going to get a chance to contribute any more tracks.

maybe now that there's a new ilx comp in the works, this one should be released?

spotify ads?
― the tyrone power mixtape (get bent), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 16:39 (twelve years ago) link
I'll explain:
I recorded a bunch of Kraftwerk tracks onto minidisc from Spotify, back when I didn't have the Premium service. On playback, I had to edit out all the damn commercials. One of which was Ke$ha's "tik tok" featuring that very segment.
― Mark G, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 01:15 (twelve years ago) link
Good album, wd everyone! Gonna single out Scare Quotes's contribution as particularly +. :)
