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'

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!

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.

I look forward to not flaking on whatever the next one is.

I'm thrilled my poll inspired this amazing effort!! Just listening to this now - unbelievable. I had no idea ILX was so talented!
Has anyone emailed Colin et al?
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Thursday, 13 May 2010 03:38 (fourteen years ago) link
Ned has mentioned it upthread, I don't think anyone has yet. Would he be interested I wonder.. (Colin not Ned)
― double shyamalan (MaresNest), Thursday, 13 May 2010 08:39 (fourteen years ago) link
they seem to have a sense of humor about reflection and emulation. after all, these are the guys who brought a band that covered their own early material to open for them on a tour.
― (e_3) (Edward III), Thursday, 13 May 2010 18:39 (fourteen years ago) link
latebloomer's track just became my 80,000th play on last.fm
― mookieproof, Friday, 14 May 2010 01:11 (fourteen years ago) link
Goddamn, this version of "Boiling Boy", especially with the female vocals. Slaaaaaaaaays me...
Some of the reinterpretations are damn cool as well, nice to "hear" Ned on "Ambitious" and "Heartbeat" is stretched out wonderfully.
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Friday, 14 May 2010 22:45 (fourteen years ago) link
I finally got round to listening to the whole thing tonight, good work people! Wish I'd mixed my "kick drum" (actually the first blip from "Geiger Counter" by Kraftwerk) up a bit, but hey.
― Matt #2, Friday, 14 May 2010 23:34 (fourteen years ago) link
if we do another one i promise to not forget to send the file before i go on holiday so i can have something better quality than thrashing a £10 guitar into a the netbook internal mic with an out of sync freeware multitracker.

aw ty sean! there were so many more things i wanted to do with it but time/equipment/guitar playing abilities didn't allow - next time though.
― show me your buccina (ken c), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link
It was a good way to start the proceedings...

Yea Ken, when I heard yours it was an obvious and perfect first track.
― double shyamalan (MaresNest), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link
i loved being part of this but i was sad at how little overall female participation there was (i know trayce wanted to contribute but had to drop out). i hope we can actively recruit more chicks for the next project, cuz i know lots of women on ilx play music.
― EGOT Schiele (get bent), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 22:50 (fourteen years ago) link
Meant to say, I DL'd this as soon as it went up and it's great from front to back.

Well, I took the initiative and sent a quick Twitter message to Colin Newman (he's @headgit btw) letting him know about this and asking him nicely to please not sue us, and just got the following back, today:
@globalhermit Hey Sean I downloaded it some nice ideas :) Be very interested where you got the Austrian Radio thingy.
So uh, he's probably listened to everyone's contribution by now! Where DID that Austrian Radio thingy come from btw?

Austrian or Austrailian?
― double shyamalan (MaresNest), Friday, 21 May 2010 06:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Austrian - guess he means the bonus live show that was in the FTP directory...?
― Sean Carruthers, Friday, 21 May 2010 12:06 (thirteen years ago) link
OK, now I'm interested...
(Not that I wasn't before, you know)..

final placement are more likely to sue than wire but then again justine frischmann would prolly disagree
― (e_3) (Edward III), Friday, 21 May 2010 12:55 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe you should amend that Sean to please don't sue us and/or Dime
