ILX Compilation v4: Tiny Music (Deadline/Submissions/etc!!)

Yes that's how it's spelled in both filename and tag...?

just on the sleeve :)

<3 lou & surm tracks, want to hear more

Holy shit E3!! Ox!

Fuck it, I missed this entire thread :(

also I have gotta say that Captain Lorax's one is totally rad, and that rent has a lovely melodic sensibility

ZS Awesome!

wait-a-minute... LJ is secretly Vivian Stanshall?

you mean you DON'T fancy a wine-and-middle-aged-spread do at the Great House?

Ha, you just made his day,.

xpost told yer. Or rather, I didn't...

It's the shoehorning of cricket references into songs that gives it away.

Just downloaded! EXCITED.

I'm listening to this right now and it's really good!

I actually only logged back onto ILX to comment on this comp...

I've listened to it one and a half times through now and it's of pleasingly high quality throughout. Because it's such a huge chunk of music (surprising given its actual brevity) I starred tracks that stood out as particularly wonderful - so my initial favourites (and I'm sure I'll add more as I get into it):

Zappi - Snowblood, Tyler W - Denver Diatribe, Kelly - What You Do To Me, Clonefeed - Skipper, Snoball - Gas, Fügügüffü - ID, 77_2 - Capitaine Jay Vee, rent - 771, Grannykart - Minor Antarctic Island

(oops, sorry I think I've inverted artist and title in some of those but you get which tracks I mean.)

this thing is great, my track fails in comparison to all of these.

minor antarctic island sounds like the theme from "heroes"

What a great comp. A lot of you should be recording/releasing music if you aren't already! Really happy to have been part of this.

Here's some of my other music (much longer than the tracks on here): soundcloud.com/professorjorge

chrisv2010 : your track is excellent.

huzzah! just started listening to this -- sounds amazing so far. thanks to everyone who contributed and stevie for organizing. great cover art too ...

Thanks!

ol dirty malkmus = awesome

i think a fun way to listen to this for the first time might be to just put the lot in a playlist, hit shuffle and not look at what's playing unless i really like the sound of it (which could certainly happen a lot) so gonna try that tonight - no disrespect intended to stevie for thoughtful sequencing tho

karen, i loved your track! and the kelly songs are wonderful, too (i esp. liked 'books and records')

Karen, you did a wonderful job. Your Reason skills are pretty advanced imo

yeah i dug yours too, karen. whole thing is wonderful, kind of oddly cohesive.
would anyone be averse to me posting a link on my blog? totally cool if we want to keep it an ILX-only thang.

Gosh - mine are quiet. Should've mixed them louder. ah well...

Same here - my 1st and 3rd tracks could do with being a bit louder as well.

Wish I still worked at the sportstalk station. Some of these would make for great bumpers/liners.

I think I suffer from that pretty badly as well, especially coming 13 seconds after EdIII's marvellous blast of raucousness (xp)

but hey it's not a prob, listen to the whole thing damn loud imo

ken c's is one of the real underrated growers here i think

ha, that's actually what my contribution began as -- a potential bumper thing for a podcast. rejected! glad it's found a (better) home. xpost

I've got "Denver Diatribe" on my list of favorites here, so I guess it hit its mark!

"Snowblood"
"Denver Diatribe"
"Blues Name"
"Song for Denver Lucas"
"House of Clocks"
"Production"
and "Steering" all made me sit up and take notice.

Special, special recognition to all the Clonefeed songs. I wrote all of those down too. I would buy any Sega game for the soundtrack alone based on those songs.

Two Denver songs, eh? "Denver Lucas" could almost be a cover of an outtake from later Minutemen album.

This is v good! I could play favourites but maybe I'll give it a few more listens first as there's just so much to take in.

(Still sad that smoke came out of my computer when I was hoping to work on it but would've been totally outclassed so all good in the end)

I'm sure more of the others will latch on after a few more listens, but on Day 1, those were the ones that stood out.

I dare someone to create a poll that ends in a year.

this is excellent!

Cheers Pleasant Plains.

If you like 'Steering', you may enjoy http://spitfireparade.bandcamp.com/track/steering-wheel

It is making me so so happy that everyone is enjoying this so much!

my two big favorites are "Song for Denver Lucas" and "Repetition Pears 77"

lotta good stuff on here -- lou & surm, Grannykart, crüt, P Nunez... latebloomer's tracks are kinda hysterical, I'm not sure if he meant them to be funny or not...felt like he was channelling mid-70s Devo

Thanks for the nice words. I've been enjoying this so much, honoured to be part of such an accomplished and fantastic sounding compilation! Kudos to everyone involved.

yar k8 yr song is rulesome in addition to the ones I've already praised

rly just cannot get over 'i gave you all my money...' tho

and obv maresnest's one is jagger catnip alert bleep bleep bleep

Played a couple times now, every so often, checking the track counter, so will have to log them...

at some point.

Some are 'long things, shortened'

Some are 'exactly the right length'

Only one is 'didn't need to be that long, did it?' which is the point, kinda.

asked upthread -- does anyone mind if i post a link for this on my blog?

dude it's on a public message board, don't think anybody cares where it gets posted

ilx is a public message board? then how come i'm paying ned raggett monthly subscription fees?
jk, yeah, i guess you're right.

Can I put this compilation onto a cafe press coffee mug?

yes

Buh, realised there's about six more songs that could go on here.
