ILX Wire Covers Compilation 2010

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

guess I better get on it before the next brazilian listening club alb is posted...

remind me, who is Superhuman Troglodyte?

because you are AWESOME

i dunno but roflmfao at final placement solo

it is mr. Edward III

fantastic work, you guys; this whole thing is awesome

This is good, Dan, because Paul in Santa Cruz told me he was hoping that our track would meet with your seal of approval!

holy shit I just got to "Heartbeat" ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

I'm replaying your track right now Ned and can I just say YES IT DOES

Hahah all is well.

THANKS DAN

as far as I know that cover of "strange" is the only track in all of human history to sample both rush and final placement, let's hope it stays that way

i've had ken's "the 15th" stuck in my head for like an hour

I should mention that my collaborator on "106 beats that" was ex-ugly american scribe and holland/skin/tunnel provocateur j. marlowe

coaxed him out of a 15 year silence for this

the drummer on heartbeat is a jandek collaborator, no lie

sweet! I hope it was this dude

haha unfortunately not

Everyone should pick their top 9 tracks and SB the remaining people, in the spirit of the comp.

haw

Lets talk about another one!

another one what?

Same idea, different band?

would we want to do another covers album, or another "pre-covers" set like the fake U2 album?

no rest for the wicked eh

can't we let this one sink in for a week or two?

Well, I'd be interested in either, the second option requires waiting for something suitable to come along, what was all this Viking stuff mentioned upthread?

For me, part of the genius in the U2 idea was that it was poking fun at a behemoth.

also i am STRONGLY in favour of precovers for the next one - should alternate covers w/ original compositions

ohhh there are some behemoths asking for this

i wish fleetwood mac had an upcoming album to ape

can't we just bask in this one for a little while

xxxxp

Nah we should be busting these out like K-Tel or Pickwick :)

maresnest you are salieri and i claim my £5

Or hey we could choose a Top Of The Pops 70's album and cover that, have LJ on the front with a sheer body stocking.

photoshop here I come

nice selection of tunes on that one

let's just cover that. I call "ring my bell".

really hope Video Killed and The Radio Star are covered separately. dibs on Video Killed

Or how about all of us covering Oh Superman?

or is it O Superman

oh man, how to choose??? heart of glass. it has to be.

xpost haha i would be up for that

Bagsy Cliff then.

Pity it's not Wired For Sound tho', his excursion into math-rock

hang on that would be a straight covers project, rather than a reimagining of title

hmm

i vote 'bask in this one for a bit'

I vote boo!

as a preemptive measure, dibs on "when ur in love w/ a beautiful woman"

I am seconds away from starting a new thread.

cosign for the basking, but when it comes time to do another one,

seeing as how there were some extremely interesting interpretations of a band that already had quite a varied sound,

for the next one I would like to hear how ILX tackles

The Ramones

srsly give it a while, barely anyone on ilm's heard this yet!

Okay, back to DEFCON 4 :)
