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

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."

it's may, and the sounds of $c!3n+0l0g3333 have made it into the ears of innocent children. let's boogie!

if you haven't checked the aforementioned comp out yet, here it is:

music: http://official.fm/playlists/60920

Can I sign up for "Now! ILX"?

hell yeah. any idea what you wanna do?

will take a rough headcount soon -- who's doing what and with whom.

OK, hang on: I'm wanting in.

Is that last link the picklist? If not, what is?

(I know there was some discussion upthread, but I feel an official source is needed)

(OK that's obv not the source, being as how it's the sciento orgy thing.)

OK, might put dibs on "Don't stop believing"

umm, i'm going to remix something. not sure what yet.

I guess I should put in for "tik tok" b4 somebody else swipes it

Not sure why, but I can't really get as excited about this project as some of the other ones. Maybe if it'd been covers of the entire Now #1 catalogue or something...

Catalogue? Um, album.

pick yr most hated pop song of the recent past and try to redeem it

get bent - "till the world ends"
snoball - 'S&M'
jaymc - "DJ Got Us Falling in Love"
absolutely clean glasses - "like a G6"
karen d. tregaskin and ned raggaskin - "lights on"
m bison - "what's my name"
bernard snowy - "firework"
blueski - "rolling in the deep" remix
maresnest - "friday"
ken c - can't decide between "being a dickhead's cool" or "double rainbow all the way across the sky"
elvis telecom - "born this way"
rent - "black and yellow"
n/a - "6 foot 7 foot"
edward iii - "tik tok"

and mark g - "don't stop believing" (is this a glee thing?)

here's the current u.s. hot 100: http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100#/charts/hot-100

Maybe if it'd been covers of the entire Now #1

zomg Too Shy! Double Dutch! Safety Dance! Rock Steady Crew! Temptation! Lovecats! MAKE IT HAPPEN.

(lol the American Now! Vol. 1 was in 1998 and features Flagpole Sitta, Mmm Bop, Sex & Candy, Karma Police, and, uh, Barbie Girl. This would also be pretty funny obv)

this thread has made me realise how little modern pop music I'm actually familiar with. Guess I got old.

Uh, no, sorry, the Lights On thing was an ill formed joke. I'm doing Broken Record actually. :-)

aw, do that one as well! Release the Ned!

I think I will be doing "Unthinkable" but that might change.

yooooooo...

got it, thanks! maybe this will be the kick in the hind quarters to get me started on my own track.

rev that is hotness

is the deadline still june 12?

we can push it back. end of june (sunday the 26th)?

i definitely need more time.

I need to pull out of this. I will be away from my recording computer for five weeks.

mine is done, where should it go?

Man, I'm no good at this stuff.

Oh yeah, mine is done, too. Well, it was done weeks ago but I'm still contemplating swapping a siren synth sound for a crumhorn after the medieval music workshop at Lewes Castle last weekend. Should we pop them on Soundcloud and just add them to a group or something?

i wanted to do Super Bass but couldn't find an acapella :(

Broken Record (Madrigal Breakdown mix):

http://soundcloud.com/karendtregaskin/broken-record-madrigal

No idea what sound quality that is at (probably pretty poor) let me know if you'd rather an AIFF version and I'll toss it on YSI.

(My original demo is on that Soundcloud, too, with the metallic siren synth and sounding a lot more like the original but Lex actually suggested taking it off - I'd scored out a string quartet and it was occupying exactly the same sonic space, too busy)

my laptop has been acting wonky, and the new one i ordered hasn't shipped yet. in the meantime, i will pull this together the best i can. send links to j o d y . b e t h ***at*** g m a i l ***dot*** c o m

high-quality files appreciated: aiff, wav, 320kbps mp3, as long as it's nothing weird that i can't open.

This is nice!

received so far:

reverend
karen d tregaskin
n/a

rather than repeat the list from upthread about who was gonna submit what at the time, i'd rather know where you're all at now, if you still plan to contribute, and what song you're going with ultimately.

I need to send a new version. I adjusted the mix a bit.

I still plan on contributing. I am ruminating deeply over "tik tok".

I am working on mine.

will have it in by june 12

we can push it back. end of june (sunday the 26th)?

^^^from upthread.

oh ok! still.

I have decided the tempo.

I'm currently tinkering around with mixes.

BTW I'm still doing Rihanna's 'S&M'.

omg I so want in on this let me think of a song first
