ILX Wire Covers Compilation 2010

So this just goes to MaresNest's webmail address? I'm uploading to sendspace now.

It does indeed, look forward to hearing it.

Awesome, email sent, let me know if you don't get it.

Sure thing.

andre and i are gonna record something for this -- still figuring out what, though.

n/a I haven't received a mail/link yet, just to let you know. If there's a problem, you can try theslowlife@gmailDOTcom instead.

Huh ok. I'll try your gmail instead.

Thanks Nick, all good, downloading it now.

The 51th vs 12SBU?

we're looking at "mannequin" or "another the letter"

Oh, I was gonna do "Mannequin" instead...

we're actually recording "mannequin" right now!

Too Late, Mark G

oh, ok then.

Why not both do it?

^^^exack

because mine is better *oh snap*

FITE!

Paul's and my cover is complete. I'm v. taken with what he did with my vocal.

Aw (blush) -- just came here to double check MaresNest's email address. WAV and MP3 on the way shortly :-)

Hey Paul, got the mail okay, will grab them a little later, thanks!

So we're letting Wire themselves know about this, I trust.

?

golly gosh :/

(i need to get back onto mine...still a long time but it's not gonna be done overnight)

I'm not saying you should hunt Colin Newman down or anything, MaresNest. Unless you want to!

Ned sorry, I'm not following you, are you joshing or for real? :)

The eternal question! But I do think we should publicize it a bit because why not?

Couple o questions re. submitting the stuff:

1) Are 24-bit files OK, or should it be 16-bit?

2) Do you want the files mastered in any sort of way? Bus limiting/multiband/et al?

kthxbai

looks like I might be contributing "strange" and "106 beats that" if all goes as planned

stay tuned...

16 bit files are preferable, but I can convert if needs be.
Feel free to master your mix, I wasn't planning to master the whole collection, but I will polish any tracks up a little if I think they really require it, which will obviously become clearer when all the tracks come in, so-far the quality has been great.

Here we go.

just a suggestion: don't post yr submission to the thread. kinda ruins the surprise of hearing the thing as a whole.

I was kinda thinking that myself!

feel free to delete my post then. e-mailed.

Pretty excited as my friend Emily has agreed to sing Boiling Boy, she's got a great voice.

Nothing to report, just a gentle bump as we find ourselves halfway through March.

'First Wire covers project ever that doesn't have a version of "Outdoor Miner"'

HA!

Feel free to leave this off if anyone else wants to do one, or if you want to maintain the miner-less distinction.

mine is shaping up to be...weird

i mean...those cats are gonna have some competition in the 'wtf' stakes ;-)

Mares Nest, you've got gmail.

Excellent Thanks!

message to self: when a dude can't really play an instrument or sing, he should not turn an already lengthy and complicated song into a fucking avant-prog nightmare

this is halfway done and already well beyond my control

avant-prog nightmare

peter hammill it ain't

actually, peter hammill it may well be, but sans singing ability or rest of band

Love the Outdoor Miner minature.

Looks like we're going to smash right through that end of March deadline, but that's what they are there for.

^d8: just need vocals, instrumental is done

I'll probably be done by the weekend.
