ILX Wire Covers Compilation 2010

only 6?

mr carruthers ballin out the gym

so far S and JBR/ZOTS have cold blown my mind, but it's ALL great

argh, can't dl right now

somebody liveblog this ish

listening from the beginning, although i have to leave soon.

my only request is proper id3 tags -- i just did my own in itunes, but if you could upload the tracks pre-tagged for everyone else, that would be awesome.

samesies

"12xu" is fucking great!

holy fucking shit, Elvis Telecom has pulled it the fuck out like only a dude with dreampop in his soul can do

Hey GB. Yep I spaced on the tagging. Will do that and upload again on Thursday. Want to talk about this comp but relegated to Iphone for the next half day or so. Killing me already.

Ed3 bringin the noise

halfway convinced this was all an elaborate setup so MaresNest could just show off (probably my favorite so far)

^^it's a bit good isn't it

sorry all but outdoor meower is my favorite

ha that was some ambiguous punctuation. should read: sorry, all, but outdoor meower is my favorite

i took off pts for not being 100% cats

OK, Sean C's country-surf "Ahead" is FUCKING GREBT!

GRATE, RAD, ETC!

"practice makes perfect" iz teh yumxor

my inner teenage girl is really into "heartbeat"

:D

great production quality on most of these. makes me feel a bit embarrassed with mine tbh

Right back atcha man! All of these are making me happy!

Very good stuff here, haven't had a chance to hear it all yet but soon -- though MaresNest, based on the file names I should note again my last name has two t's in it. :-D

just started listening, really digging these so far. LOVE M Bison's '12xu'

rly looking fwd to listening to this

ned raggae

Up to track four so far!

I think that "12XU" was what Colin was trying to make with the recent remake (white label 7")

'12 Times You' that was it...

a radical idea: sort the songs by how "good" they are; i.e. put the "best" songs at the beginning and the "worst" songs at the end

just saying, like :D

XP - Surname amended Ned, sorry mate, that must drive you crazy.

p.s. maresnest sorry i may have moved a couple of folders in your FTP by accident! (i was cack handed using the FTP program...)

i will move them back when i get home later (if you hadn't already!)

Okay, wow, finally getting to listen to some of these. Impossible to pick a favorite, but I'm very impressed by the quality and diversity of tracks.

Yeah I really liked these. Good work all around!

"Heartbeat" was a real showstopper. So epic!

zomg these are perfect :D

thank you all!

ok everything here is ace but I wanted to say that once on a drunken night bus home I decided that an 8-bit electronic Wire covers project was to be my LIFE'S WORK but I could not make it work out at all
anyway M. Mathieu's 12xu is everything I imagined that concept to be and more, much love for that

aw <3 yay!

Listened to this at work today and am pleased, embarrassed and humbled to be in y'all's company. Agree with the poster above that MaresNest set this whole thing up just to show off - "Boiling Boy" is making my next mixtape fer sure. Very well done, all.

so what's next? an ilx kate bush comp? (dibs on "hammer horror" and "oh england my lionheart." i know from past experience that i can do the high notes even if it makes my throat hurt.)

that would be tight. i had suggested upthread an idea that i will alter slightly. (potentially) beat the-dream to his release date and do Love Viking: An ILX tribute to the-dream

that's pretty funny. maybe i can do a monologue admonishing mr. the-dream for rogue hyphenation.

it is some odd hyphenizing, i'm wondering if there is some 60's girl group called the dream and he threw it in there to avoid BMI/ASCAP confusion or something

the dream 1979

the-dream syndicate

california the-dreamin'

yeah let's do an original composition thingy next! not that mine for this was a 'cover' so much as 8 minutes of clumsy hacking at a corpse. sorry, wire.

gonna rescreen this now - it really is something.

haha i was already thinking about doing kate bush covers

many xposts

m bison's 12XU gets better every time I hear it

haha i was already thinking about doing kate bush covers

can't wait to hear "cat bush" (with meowing)
