ILX Wire Covers Compilation 2010

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)

mewother stands for cat food

*meowther

Cat in your lap

Coming in with the golden light
Is the new cat.
Coming in with the golden light
Is a dented rat.

Calico.

She wanted to test her owner.
She knew exactly what to do:
A few hairballs to fool him.
She couldn't have made a worse move.

meow-meow-meow-meow-meoooowwwwww
unbelieeeeevable

Great thing is you don't really need to change the lyrics to "Hounds of Love" at all.

Someone tell a poor ingrate what all this Viking talk is plz (I'm too lazy to google)

And yep, I did indeed set it all up to dazzle you with my acumen (one chord song choice and amazing singer friend aside) :)

The best thing you did was to sequence that burst of applause at the start of Ed III's first tune right after my track ;-)

For future possilbles I was thinking - Echo & The Bunnymen, The Church, The Cure, New Order, PIL maybe.

Would totally be up for a Church comp submission!

Sometimes When This Place Gets Kind of Empty: ILM Reacts to the Church

Acapella 'Field Of Mars' by tomorrow plz

Or not.

Meantime did anyone else download the bonus MaresNest put up? Good stuff!

zero of the signified just asked about the possibility of doing beastie boys covers.

or bowie -- he said he would lay claim to the tin machine catalog.

btw i tried to d/l the bonus material but only the first link worked.

Yeah it was tricky for me too -- rather than downloading the folder I had to download the individual tracks.

Meantime if zots (which is a perfect acronym) can somehow salvage a song like the Hunt Sales-sung "I'm Sorry" and make it not be sloppy blooze bullshit I salute him.

Oh Ned, you card. Am I the only person who loves that first Tin Machine album? Granted the second one didn't quite scan with me, but...

Oh Ned, you card.

sung to the tune of "oh bondage up yours."

Hahah.

There's good stuff on both albums. And then there's some not so good stuff...

I saw them live at a promo appearance for the second album, as muttered here.

ok Ed's Strange on HEADPHONES.

I shouldn't blab about some of the tracks and not others! But Lowdown -> Marooned -> Heartbeat is some goddamn lushness

Is there going to be a separate d/l page eventually? Want to spread word about the comp, but not necessarily the organizational thread.

Facebook fan page like Pre-interpreted U2?

I was thinking similarly -- as MaresNest says he'll update the tags here followed by final artwork, I say wait for him to do that, then once everything's all in place, world conquest.

yeah I am poised to fairtilizer this shit in short order

Facebook fan page like Pre-interpreted U2?

I did set up a page myself for that one, back then...

It's still there.

Liking S-'s "Our Swimmer".

Tags are now up properly and filenames/folders tidied also.

Rock -- so all that's left is final artwork?

Meanwhile, as a bonus, one of the more unusual uses for the original "Ambitious" I've yet seen:

hey maresnest -

a couple of the mp3 files you have on the FTP site were converted at the wrong sample rate - 48000Hz instead of 44100Hz. sounds like a supernerdy point here but some mp3 players (like the one in my car!) are going to obey this value and play the tracks at a noticeably slower speed.

the ones that need fixing are "boiling boy" and "strange"

I uploaded a new version of mine here, or you can just reconvert if you like

how long in mm:ss is Strange meant to be?

4' 32''

Okay, I'm on it

Okay done, checked them and I think they sound okay.
