I think I'll do either "Brazil" or "Being Sucked In Again"
Want to do "Ahead"!

(Not a slam on Sean of course!
Well I never!
More meaning that my own musical abilities are immeasurable in their nonexistence.)
Oh okay then. But hey, you have my permission to do any song you like.
― Sean Carruthers, Saturday, 13 February 2010 22:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Already done 'Ex Lion Tamer', 'Silk Skin Paws' and C. Newman's 'Alone' with band.
'Ahead' has been taken... Maybe 'A Serious of Snakes'... Will get back on this.

Question: is the listing the same songs that were covered on "Whore", or is it free for all as far as which Wire songs?
― millivanillimillenary (Trayce), Sunday, 14 February 2010 23:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Anything I'm guessing.
Anyone going to take 'Mary Is A Dyke' or 'NYC'?
― Department of Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification (S-), Sunday, 14 February 2010 23:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm thinking me and Rob might do one - I'd like to do "Kidney Bingoes" or "King of Ur & Queen of Um" but I need to skim some tracks and decide, so thats just a tentative one for me so far.
― millivanillimillenary (Trayce), Sunday, 14 February 2010 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link
'Our Swimmer' pls
I could try that Pato, but a). High beam switch in current car is foot operated, not on a stalk b). Chrysler is more than double the size of the Toyota (however power steering), will need to find a different rhythm c). Having already spent some time without a licence it might not be such a Good Idea.

Like I mentioned upthread, don't get hung up if more than one person wants to do a particular track, the difference in interpretation would be just as interesting.
To answer Trayce, any Wire song is fair game. Heck if you wanted to do version of a Colin Newman/Duet Emmo/Mzui/Dome/8Time or any other solo configuration go right ahead.
Also, what do you all think would be a fair deadline? (which will of course be broken) One month? Two?
Hopefully before the titles for the next U2 album are leaked!
So for anyone who might be speeding ahead, send files or rapidshare/ftp links to my PM addy. Best quality files possible would be great, WAV/FLAC/AIFF/SHN whatever.
If MP3 then please ensure it's as close to 320kbps as you can get. Don't forget to include any details you might want for the artwork/text.

Hey Wire songs are really easy to work out, I never realised! The last thing a did for a tribute record was by Moondog, that was a bitch. Doing something different with a Wire song that's still good rather than a slavish cover version, not so easy.

Reasons I don't want to do this:
1) I had a fantastic time doing this, it was like christmas every time a track arrived, and barring a few technicalities (i.e. a couple of tracks that were too long) I was able to incorporate everything I received into the final tracklisting, and every track was wonderful. It's not that 'you shouldn't revisit, next time would not be as good' it's more that someone else should have that kind of fun.
2) I was going to contribute a track last time, but ran out of time and/or inspiration, I forget which. Also, I would be either biased towards (or against) my track's placement (or lack of it), etc. Someone else needs to make that kind of decision.
3) Thesedays, I have less of an ILX presence. Having said that, if someone does kick Vol4 off, they'd better let me know. I missed out on the U2 and the Wire comps, but hey.
So, it's up for grabs.
Hmm, I might repost that message on a dedicated thread.

It was beautiful in the context of the show too. I have no idea how he got the song, but Tyler is a gem, so it was perhaps one of those things that was meant to be. He just played Medicine by the way.
