ILX Christmas Compilation: Deck the Halls With Boughs of LOLly (2013 expansion! Deadline is December 1!)

Yes, that's some fine work. Imagine my joy on realising it comes directly before mine in the tracklisting.

Weekend Bump

Uh, I think Asda are ripping me off on one of their adverts

if anyone wanted to add cookie monster or hetfield-y vocals to "xmas at ground zero" (i guess for next year's comp?)

I'm keeping clear this time :)

Merry Christmas, you guys

Merriest!

"salvaged an otherwise miserable night"

Merry Christmas everybody and thanks to Ned for his curating skills.

yes, thanks so much Ned!

Yer welcome, all!

Since this seems to be the thread to say it: merry thingymas, ILXors

Any possibility of reviving this for 2013?

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

If there are any desires to add to the compilation:

* Deadline: Dec. 1
* No limitation at all on what you want to do. Traditional, new song, long, short, whatever.

And again the comp tracklisting as it originally stands:

Snoball - 'Every Day is Christmas'
Tom D - Stille Nacht

Great, thanks. Same e-mail address for sending songs as before?

Yup!

If anyone wants to back me and produce on a cover of Tom Lehrer's "Christmas Carol," lmk

I've got an idea brewing for a new track so I'll get to work on it

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.

(xp) Fuck it, that idea didn't work... but I've got another one, to the Batcave!

Grandavis: please resend!

I do not have a great recording set up right now

LOL, mine's is a PC, an freeware audio editor and a guitar

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 ....

is this still available on Soundcloud please ?

Heyyyyy, wait for the re-release!

Would you accept a reggae cover of Cold Cold Ground by Tom Waits?

Over to you, Ned

Dog Latin: hey, I wouldn't stop ya...

A week to go!

I'll send you a new one this week, Ned

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.

Will have to do a 'Deluxe' style 2CD set with the new extras

The Special Edition has a Blu-Ray documentary filmed in HD, featuring of all of us sitting in our respective bedroom/living room/shed studios, 'Classic Albums' style.

"Yeah, man... Like, this is, the guitar I used on that track..."

Interviewer (off camera): "How did you get that sound?"
ILXor: "Well it was pure chance, actually. I accidentally played my guitar through a bass amp."

Interviewer (still off camera): "Did you run the Klon through the Blockhead?"
ILXor: "Yeah, I did, actually. Now they're both in hospital with concussion."

Okay the uploading took longer than I thought thanks to a screwup on SoundCloud's end BUT...

who is elf with wound

ah answered upth

Indeed. Anyway, bumping a bit for the new week.

argh! forgot to send you my track.

WELL. Next year, then! (Grandavis's was originally submitted after last year's deadline!)

Look forward to listening to this later

This is a hell of a lot of fun to listen to, such a cool range of stuff. Thanks as usual Ned. Gonna listen again!

Eclectic!

Really enjoying this still, especially as I get closer to being on vacation! Tom D., your tracks are really great I must say, right up my alley. I would listen to those in any context. Do you record other stuff? I mean everything on this is good/fun/rocking and many combinations of all of those things, but those tracks and the Elf With Wound song I could listen to on repeat without any complaints.

Thanks g, your track is great too btw! I only work when prompted these days, more or less.

Mariah Carey's Christmas track breaks a million sales

Congratulations Philip Nunez and Friends Mariah...
Wait, what?
