"Now That's What I Call ILX" (comp # whatever: we cover/mutilate/remix the POP HITS of the day)

OR those white people who did the "Boyz N the Hood" cover.

i'm considering doing this

Quick way out of this would be to grab the Amen break off the net, spend 3 mins on Garageband and do a Pendulum cover.

i might have to take on "e.t."

or the "keep on dancing 'til the world ends" song from the new britney album. feelin' a pre-apocalyptic/cross-planetary voib.

also i know "stereo love" is from 2009 but it's getting HELLA radio play in my neck of the woods. someone please do it, for meee?

If I had any skills at all, I would do "I Like It". Call Barack and Michelle let 'em know that it's on.

xp Yeah, I think that should count. It peaked in the U.S. in January 2011.

dibs on "Like A G6"

I'm gonna regret this, but I'm calling one of the Katy B singles.

Think I'm going to go for "Broken Record" rather than "Lights On" for the simple reason that, um, I can't toast to save my life. Unless someone else wants to do the Ms Dynamite bits for me as a collaboration?

(Kareny B. Tregaskin?)

You'd do a pretty good 'Broken Record' I think! Or for that matter most of them, but yeah maybe not 'Lights On'.

Looking forward to hearing this. Unless someone does 'Do It Like A Dude'.

...unless I got Ned to do the toasting bits on Lights On! ha hahaha.

omg please yes

Nedding with the lights on

want to do this so bad

tentative dibs on "what's my name" (no drakin)

Ragga Raggett toasting

kinda want to do "firework" cuz I think those absurdly terrible lyrics would be fun to sing, but I dunno if I actually have the range for it

(then again, neither does katy perry)

excellent point.

xp All you'd have to really do is shout.

oh, speaking of the dreaded pomplamoose (upthread), who's going to do the hyundai jingle?

nobody doing "being a dickhead's cool"?

looks like we filled that slot actually

ah ok.

maybe i could actually finish the 'rolling in the deep' remix i started for this

What's the deadline, gbjbr?

oy. weekend after memorial day?

Translation into English, please?

june 5?

Soft deadline, with hard deadline St Swithin's Day?

too far out. hard deadline is june 12, no lollygagging allowed. you've already got a month and a half!

Wholly tempted to try covering Friday as A Silver Mt Zion

Who's going to take on Whip My Hair?

aw dammit i was thinking about 'what's my name'. m bison, let me know if you change your mind!

I'm not participating, but I would LOVE to hear someone do Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" (is that a hit?).

...unless I got Ned to do the toasting bits on Lights On! ha hahaha.

Oh dear.

That's a yes?

...I guess?

Then yay!

Count me in for Rebbeca Black - Friday (cancerous strip mall/charred angel's halo mix)

tsk Rebecca (cures eyoiu ophone)

can't decide between "being a dickhead's cool" or "double rainbow all the way across the sky"

if I don't do "Firework", I might try "Whip My Hair".
thought about "Black & Yellow" but I'm not really sure what I'd do with it.

can i try black and yellow if u don't want it?

Hats off to anyone who does cover it - it's basically some guy going "black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow" for 3 minutes.

i'm at the black and yellow pizza hut and taco bell

I'm in for "Born This Way"

can i try black and yellow if u don't want it?

sure, go for it! think I'm gonna tackle "Firework" after all

i will tentatively claim "six foot seven foot" but i don't know if i'm really going to have time to work on this

Not sure the klezmer idea is going to fly, but I'll still take "DJ Got Us Falling in Love."

maybe now that there's a new ilx comp in the works, this one should be released?

yeah I really didn't get anywhere with this. I'd like to hear what other people came up with though.

Agreed.

What's the new comp?

new comp: ILX pre-covers LULU -- the Lou Reed/Metallica album
(the deadline of which is Oct 10th)

(also, I'd really like to hear "Now That's What I Call ILX")

i promise i'll finish this up this weekend and get it out soon. i started a new job a few weeks ago and shit's been hectic.

anyone want to make some pretty artwork once i post the final tracklist?

so here's this:

it may be our shortest comp yet!

Yay!

I feel bad complaining, but I can't stand untagged mp3s.

shit, blame itunes, it said it made id3 tags.

Maybe I don't use itunes is the problem?

i'll re-up tonight with proper tags.

Listening to this now and it's amazing!
Thanks to get bent for organising this.

thx jbr

worth the wait

great job, everyone.

really liked kate's track

bernard is our finest interpreter of modern song, looking forward to his covers album

kinda hate my own contrib but whatevs

your contrib is loads of fun!

i made a page: http://grannykart.com/now-ilx/

cool. i will try and remember to download this when i'm not at work. looking forward to it. i had fun making mine.

Heard it this morning, it's truly great.

Mind you, at one point I did think "whoa, spotify ads?"

spotify ads?

I'll explain:

I recorded a bunch of Kraftwerk tracks onto minidisc from Spotify, back when I didn't have the Premium service. On playback, I had to edit out all the damn commercials. One of which was Ke$ha's "tik tok" featuring that very segment.

Good album, wd everyone! Gonna single out Scare Quotes's contribution as particularly +. :)

aw thanks dude

bernard is our finest interpreter of modern song, looking forward to his covers album

still need to listen to the comp; I sorta lost track/didn't realize it had come out!

the phrase "in a frozen lake eating frozen cake" goes thru my head at least once a month

i got a request to put this up again:

yissss

Grannykart page is still there, but the megaupload links are gorn.

My "Six Foot Seven Foot" "cover" (really more a remix of the banana boat song) is one of my favorite ILX comp submissions.
