Listening to it right now! Great so far, and already a range of approaches. Looking forward to the rest ...

First listen-through this morning...really enjoyed it!

As there a list of which ILMers were responsible for each track? Most have band names attached to them. I looked above but didn't find it, but let me know if I just missed it.
Listening Elf With Wound right now. A+

Wow, now the LOLs! "All I Want for Xmas is LouLou" into "Holiday in Catbodia" is great. Nice sequencing.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 11 December 2012 21:09 (eleven years ago) link
And ta for compliments about my track, much appreciated. I wish more people had contributed, fuck yer doing the Beatles

Hey Tom D, gotta say that BOTH of your tracks are great by the way. Song title for the first one is amazing. Fahey reference, correct?
Sad that I did not submit to this, I actually just recorded a Christmas thing for something here in Virginia, but I also think I imagined that this comp was going to be more jokey for some reason. What I recorded may have fit perfectly well.

Fair enough! If there is a 2013 that is ...

Really loving the Mark Grout "Xmas Trees" track right now.

Stille Nacht is amazing!

Fahey reference, correct?
No, actually but I'll take it! Just a Red Clydesiders reference.

Any possibility of reviving this for 2013?

Yeah I should get around to a reupload. Will do that tonight!

I've got an idea brewing for a new track so I'll get to work on it
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Tuesday, 5 November 2013 15:41 (ten years ago) link
Hey Ned, I sent you a recording last year that was a little too late. Is it eligible for the re-boot? I do not have a great recording set up right now, so that would be my best contribution. I can resend of course.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 5 November 2013 17:24 (ten years ago) link
(xp) Fuck it, that idea didn't work... but I've got another one, to the Batcave!
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Monday, 11 November 2013 09:24 (ten years ago) link
Grandavis: please resend!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 November 2013 14:29 (ten years ago) link
I do not have a great recording set up right now
LOL, mine's is a PC, an freeware audio editor and a guitar
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Monday, 11 November 2013 14:39 (ten years ago) link
Alright Ned, will do.
Tom D., I do not even have a personal computer right now, just my work computer, so "not great" could have been substituted for non-existent. I am not happy about it, but perhaps Chrismtmas this year will bring some new toys ....
― grandavis, Monday, 11 November 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link
is this still available on Soundcloud please ?
― piscesx, Monday, 11 November 2013 18:43 (ten years ago) link
Heyyyyy, wait for the re-release!
― Mark G, Monday, 11 November 2013 23:39 (ten years ago) link
Would you accept a reggae cover of Cold Cold Ground by Tom Waits?

Over to you, Ned
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Friday, 15 November 2013 12:33 (ten years ago) link

A week to go!
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 25 November 2013 04:26 (ten years ago) link
I'll send you a new one this week, Ned
― Thomas K Amphong (Tom D.), Monday, 25 November 2013 08:58 (ten years ago) link
Thanks! We have four new tracks total at this point. Again, deadline is tomorrow: I'll upload and share out the comp either tomorrow night or Monday evening.
