let's release the U2 album before U2 releases the U2 album

okay I am two tracks in and this is fucking grreat

I CAN'T BELIEVE/WHAT A SWELL DUDE I AM

this comp it brings the lulz

srsly you guys, I think this should be sold and we should be making $$$ off of it

btw since I don't know if he's still reading or not, I sent n/a's link to Tombot

NOOOO DAN DON'T PLAY THEIR GAME

I kinda feel bad about the cover now. I mean, if the goal is to trick megaU2 fans into downloading it, as soon as they see some lady Bono rising up from the bottom of the ocean and chasing some blue lady wearing sunglasses up a ladder they're going to realize it's not legit.

xpost :)

Hmm. "U2 fans" is a large population. So even if the proportion of really fucking stupid ones is the same as it is in any normal population (and you might, if you were being all zingy and ILX about it, say it'd be higher), that's still a shitload of people who might just fall for it, no matter what ;)

i thought the goal was just to be rad

This is not a fake U2 album, it's just a not-U2-covers album inspired by U2 song titles, with varying degrees of whimsy.

is this something to engage in a lot of handwringing over? it's in the wild now. if you want to download it, change the artist title on the files to U2, swap out ZS's artwork for the real stuff, and upload it to yr blog, how are we gonna stop you? this is a lark and anything that brings more lulz is welcome afaic.

I'm glad to have the version w/ everybody's names, I don't think I could upload this to fairtilizer as teh new U2 album. prolly would get yanked off the site with a quickness.

Can't we at least have an I Make Music Myspace page?

i think this should def be use to dupe rubes

there is no handwringing occuring edward

I don't really care about tricking anyone, I think pretty much everything everyone did on here is awesome and shd be heard

Kind of downbeat for a U2 record, ennit?

this basically knocks U2 outta the park tbqfh

we should do more and more of these, albeit with wisely-chosen targets

lol it is probably for the best that my droney 10-minute song isn't on here because Tombot did it way better anyway

when does Relapse come out

I'm still tripping off fucked up shark and dilapidated crocodile

got irl lols from that line, as well as basically all of nabsico's song

dude your song was pretty much straight up genius

holy shit "Cedars of Lebanon" is epic

320kbs update for audiophile dillweeds:

dan - were you able to gen a 320kbs version of "moment of surrender"?

alextc - are you interested in submitting a 320kbs version?

snoball - assume you are sending me one shortly

tom's is 270 VBR - dan, can you ask him if he wants to send a link to a 320kbs version?

nabisco - plz reconsider yr stance, that satire's deep like plush velvet seats and 192kbs makes baby jesus cry

aw thanks dan, I was about to apologize for not delivering on this concept:

Ned's spoken words definitely have to be the closing of the album with some background music or something (eheh, I've just imagined it with a funky synth track a la "thriller"'s vincent price's rap !)

though it's surprising how much ned sounds like the prince of darkness if you drop his voice a half-step

good stuff dudes

Let joy be unconfined. I am tickled I get to be part of the sendoff track.

E3: how do you want me to get the track to you? (too lazy to scan back thru the thread)

if you can upload the track to sendspace and send me the link thru ILX

I'll also send you my email address if you just wanna straight up send the file as an attachment

This is ILM creativity at its finest! I am so happy that people have come forth and expressed themselves and made this thing. This is fantastic. Why don't you guys post about this on ILM?

I guess everybody assumes the site new answers era has debalkanized ILX

this assumption appears faulty

uploading to sendspace now

got it

hey roxy where's yr blog at?

I could go reading through the animal collection thread for it but that would mean reading through the animal collection thread

http://roxymuzak.blogspot.com/

helping u

thanking u

maybe this got lost in the sauce but will you ask tom if he can send a 320kbs version, dan?

I asked, haven't heard anything back yet.

I hope that when U2 hears this they all get on a messageboard and debate for 300 posts about whether it is any good

Great melodies, but you're all wankers. And dysfunctional cretins.

nice pants retard

"Magnificient" is just that.

I would like to take this moment to thank n/a

if it were not for him we would all be posting to wdyll, suggban, and rolling ringtone threads right now instead of enjoying sweet ilx jamz

Okay I'm working my way through this comp again and Snoball's "Get On Your Boots" is heavily, heavily classic.

yeah, I like its quasi-foetus everything and the kitchen sink approach, plus it rocks

so I've been messing around with fairtilizer, looks like I can upload the individual tracks and create a streaming playlist out of them

one weird thing is it asks for a country for each track (wtf?)

I've been putting US for everybody, if this offends you please let me know what country you would like to be affiliated with

or maybe I should just make them all ireland lol

I just finished listening to the Snoball track and I was in tears. Sides aching, paralytic laughter -- I was trying to imagine U2 actually doing that at the Grammys.

can someone re-paste the tracklist w/ contributor names

01 No Line on the Horizon - Curt1s
02 Magnificent - m bison
03 Moment of Surrender - HI DERE
04 Unknown Caller - 6335
05 I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight - AleXTC
06 Get on Your Boots - snoball
07 Stand Up Comedy - n/a
08 Fez - Being Born- TOMBOT ***
09 White as Snow - Elvis Telecom
10 Breathe - nabisco
11 Cedars of Lebanon - omar little/ned raggett/edward iii

320kbs update for audiophile dillweeds:

alextc - are you interested in submitting a 320kbs version?

snoball - assume you are sending me one shortly

tombot - our people have contacted his people

nabisco - plz reconsider yr stance, that satire's deep like plush velvet seats and srsly 192kbs makes baby jesus cry

Tombot said he may contact you later this week; if you want me to pester him, lemme know.

lol @ "stunner shades on social justice"

this is dope so far

I am liking Elvis Telecom's
