Cat in your lap

there goes a tabby

eat the mew-sic

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
http://www.mediafire.com/?j2znngblcjf

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.

thank you for the speedy service!

on fairtilizer now:

http://fairtilizer.com/playlists/33504

you can stream or download the tracks, there's also embed code available to post the player on forums, facebook, etc

Rock!

awesome, thanks for setting that up

btw eIII I wanted to offer my condolences about your cat but I cannot post on NOIZE BOARD so I'm just saying sorry about your cat here because I know you'll see it.

aw thanks man

ps I tried to make your name lower case on fairtilizer but for some reason they do not want such a thing to happen

let me know if you want to revert back to scare quotes

I feel kind of bad about changing it now but it might make sense since I used that name on the fake U2 album.

feel bad about nothing, it's already done

and now you get the awesome "more by scare quotes" link at the bottom of your track page

thanks

I need to give this thing a good listen, I've pretty much just skimmed it.

yeah I'm still coming to terms w/ it, comp is monster sized
