ILX Wire Covers Compilation 2010

hey maresnest -

a couple of the mp3 files you have on the FTP site were converted at the wrong sample rate - 48000Hz instead of 44100Hz. sounds like a supernerdy point here but some mp3 players (like the one in my car!) are going to obey this value and play the tracks at a noticeably slower speed.

the ones that need fixing are "boiling boy" and "strange"

I uploaded a new version of mine here, or you can just reconvert if you like

how long in mm:ss is Strange meant to be?

4' 32''

Okay, I'm on it

Okay done, checked them and I think they sound okay.

thank you for the speedy service!

on fairtilizer now:

http://fairtilizer.com/playlists/33504

you can stream or download the tracks, there's also embed code available to post the player on forums, facebook, etc

Rock!

awesome, thanks for setting that up

btw eIII I wanted to offer my condolences about your cat but I cannot post on NOIZE BOARD so I'm just saying sorry about your cat here because I know you'll see it.

aw thanks man

ps I tried to make your name lower case on fairtilizer but for some reason they do not want such a thing to happen

let me know if you want to revert back to scare quotes

I feel kind of bad about changing it now but it might make sense since I used that name on the fake U2 album.

feel bad about nothing, it's already done

and now you get the awesome "more by scare quotes" link at the bottom of your track page

thanks

I need to give this thing a good listen, I've pretty much just skimmed it.

yeah I'm still coming to terms w/ it, comp is monster sized

guess I better get on it before the next brazilian listening club alb is posted...

remind me, who is Superhuman Troglodyte?

because you are AWESOME

i dunno but roflmfao at final placement solo

it is mr. Edward III

fantastic work, you guys; this whole thing is awesome

This is good, Dan, because Paul in Santa Cruz told me he was hoping that our track would meet with your seal of approval!

holy shit I just got to "Heartbeat" ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

I'm replaying your track right now Ned and can I just say YES IT DOES

Hahah all is well.

THANKS DAN

as far as I know that cover of "strange" is the only track in all of human history to sample both rush and final placement, let's hope it stays that way

i've had ken's "the 15th" stuck in my head for like an hour

I should mention that my collaborator on "106 beats that" was ex-ugly american scribe and holland/skin/tunnel provocateur j. marlowe

coaxed him out of a 15 year silence for this

the drummer on heartbeat is a jandek collaborator, no lie

sweet! I hope it was this dude

haha unfortunately not

Everyone should pick their top 9 tracks and SB the remaining people, in the spirit of the comp.

haw

Lets talk about another one!

another one what?

Same idea, different band?

would we want to do another covers album, or another "pre-covers" set like the fake U2 album?

no rest for the wicked eh

can't we let this one sink in for a week or two?

Well, I'd be interested in either, the second option requires waiting for something suitable to come along, what was all this Viking stuff mentioned upthread?

For me, part of the genius in the U2 idea was that it was poking fun at a behemoth.

also i am STRONGLY in favour of precovers for the next one - should alternate covers w/ original compositions

ohhh there are some behemoths asking for this

i wish fleetwood mac had an upcoming album to ape

can't we just bask in this one for a little while

xxxxp

Nah we should be busting these out like K-Tel or Pickwick :)

maresnest you are salieri and i claim my £5

Or hey we could choose a Top Of The Pops 70's album and cover that, have LJ on the front with a sheer body stocking.

photoshop here I come

nice selection of tunes on that one

let's just cover that. I call "ring my bell".

really hope Video Killed and The Radio Star are covered separately. dibs on Video Killed

Or how about all of us covering Oh Superman?

or is it O Superman

oh man, how to choose??? heart of glass. it has to be.
