鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 23 February 2009 15:38 (fifteen years ago) link

cool, it's moving !
hey n/a, I will resend you my track. after listening to it I had some minor changes in the mix so I will send you the latest version.
I will be on holidays next week so I won't have the pleasure to attend the release of "no ilx"... I'll check it out when I come back !

AleXTC, Monday, 23 February 2009 17:00 (fifteen years ago) link

I will have mine in by Friday.

that old joe diffie classic (Curt1s Stephens), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 04:57 (fifteen years ago) link

recording tomorrow, will hopefully get most of it finished. i should probably write the song before going into record, but that sorta seems against the spirit of this thing

6335, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 05:39 (fifteen years ago) link

ahah, yeah, it seems everybody went with improvisation... the titles are so inspiring !

AleXTC, Tuesday, 24 February 2009 09:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I nominate ZS to drunkenly animate a cover for this album

all in favor say eye

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 04:29 (fifteen years ago) link

don't let this awesome idea die

I haz dreamz

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 04:31 (fifteen years ago) link

n/a, I've sent you my final mix.
So, it seems everybody will be ready for the deadline. good !

AleXTC, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 11:27 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm around, just don't really have anything new to say at this point ... still waiting on songs. i'd be happy to forward the songs on to edward III if you have an idea for how to get them up online in the same place

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 11:31 (fifteen years ago) link

I nominate ZS to drunkenly animate a cover for this album

I think this would be a great idea - question is, what do we ask him to drunkenly animate?

snoball, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 14:49 (fifteen years ago) link

the original cover, duh

Reflex Gaffe (country matters), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 14:51 (fifteen years ago) link

^^^admittedly funnier in context, but still probably the best thing posted to the internet in latter 00's

Reflex Gaffe (country matters), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 14:55 (fifteen years ago) link

the original cover, duh

You've seen the original cover? There's nothing there to animate!

An artist must start with a blank canvas. The less there is already, the more that can be added. And you forgot the big equal sign in the middle

Reflex Gaffe (country matters), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:08 (fifteen years ago) link

You've seen the original cover? There's nothing there to animate!

you are severely underestimating the abilities of ZS

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:18 (fifteen years ago) link

^^^this

Reflex Gaffe (country matters), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:19 (fifteen years ago) link

I'd be happy to forward the songs on to edward III if you have an idea for how to get them up online in the same place

what I'd do is make a zip file containing all the songs and upload 'em to sendspace so everybody could download it. if that would be a hassle for you I don't mind taking care of it.

So, it seems everybody will be ready for the deadline.

hopefully...

nabisco sounds like he might have run into some challenges, and it's been a week since his last update. no recent word from elvis telecom either but he's just mixing so maybe not a problem.

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link

oh i can do that yeah

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:22 (fifteen years ago) link

please let me know how you want to be credited on this as well

congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:22 (fifteen years ago) link

what do we do if there's one or more tracks missing ? the whole project would be ruined !

Speaking of which, I'm yet to read that novel... xp

lightning round virtual supergroup.

ahah. "rock band" online session !

AleXTC, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:35 (fifteen years ago) link

ZS is onboard for the cover

nabisco, elvis, any updates? are you avoiding us?

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 16:40 (fifteen years ago) link

I will be done today.

Chris Barrus (Elvis Telecom), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:08 (fifteen years ago) link

yay !
u2's album will be released on the 28th, right ?

AleXTC, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:09 (fifteen years ago) link

march 3 in the US

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:11 (fifteen years ago) link

ok. so it would be great to release it right before them.
maybe we should keep the same album title as theirs to confuse the fans who will try to dl it.

AleXTC, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Did you guys ever come up with a title? It's fine if there isn't one, but if a specific title must appear on the cover, now is the time.

I shall always respect my elders (Z S), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:20 (fifteen years ago) link

same title as the U2 album! has to be!

Lots of praying with no breakfast! (HI DERE), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:21 (fifteen years ago) link

we thought about "no ilx on the horizon" but I was wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to stick to the original title (since we kept the original song titles !).

AleXTC, Wednesday, 25 February 2009 17:21 (fifteen years ago) link

from wikipedia
U2.com later confirmed the album will be released on 27 February 2009 in Ireland, 2 March in the UK and 3 March in North America
