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

I can recommend swirling it over a microphone with the keys held down for UFO sounds!

how we doin'?

pretty good (although still awaiting to hear which song stevie d decided to do!)

at this point my life is p crazy and despite decent effort I don't think I'm going to be able to ACTUALLY get anything done/finished, so feel free to do "Barbra Streisand" (or that Daughtry song I claimed earlier)

mine is pretty crazy too - will try my best to make a good version!

I have the instrumental part p much done but I haven't had a chance to record vocals yet!!

i can have this finished around sunday this week.

I've been at an impasse on mine for several weeks now. I have one idea that might salvage it, but I'll need a few days. Otherwise, I could maybe make what I've done so far available for someone else to tinker with? I dunno, I probably shouldn't have even bothered with this.

i'm cool with an extension. i haven't received that many tracks yet anyway.

I started my track but yeah need more time

I'm *almost* done -- just tweaking a few things.

same here. almost (watching pulp got in the way last weekend)

is this still a thing? cuz I've got a rough mix now.

it is still a thing, even if we have to put it out as a mini-LP instead of our usual night-of-a-thousand-ilxors.

St Swithins Day has been and gone, and we will have 40 more days of ILX0rs be finishing their mixes, I guess?

did you ever get jaymc/ken c's?

After much anguish, mine was sent and received.

hi guys my mac exploded last week and together with my recording on garageband. i can do it again but it'll take a couple of weeks (and try and find a good PC program to record on my laptop), so don't wait for me if you're all ready :(

sent my track

spent days trying to fix a digital glitch in best take of main vocal track, if you hear it just smile and pretend you didn't

got it!

who else is still in for this? my track is done.

would love to have at least 10 songs; we have 7 right now.

oh dang I completely slept on this. I can bang something out tomorrow, so count me in!

I can do another song if you like, but you gotta give me another weekend. I was thinking about doing a Britney track next, though it's one of the album tracks off the latest album so I don't know if that counts within the remit tho I'm sure the album sold a bazillion copies even if it wasn't a single?

OMG, someone just gave me the idea of doing a Britney song in Cornish...

I mean, obviously not that track (and I'd like to think I can sing slightly better than that) but as a concept! Do want!

if i can get some kind of recording set up working, I will do this for 21st Aug.

sure, do an album track. "singles" are slippery concept these days.

Cool, thanks, will do.

my contribution: http://ifile.it/qjlz3ev

I'm down to do another, what's been taken?

i've received "s&m," "tik tok," "till the world ends," "dj got us fallin in love," "firework," "unthinkable," "6 foot 7 foot" -- other track ideas are purely conceptual at this point.

received "broken record" too.

Sorry, I've bitten off more than I can chew this month, and I'm not going to get a chance to contribute any more tracks.

I guess I'll send in my "Sure Thing" remix when I have time.

can we wrap this up around labor day? last call for submissions/completions.

labor day in the u.s. = september 5.

Is anyone else doing 'Swagger Jagger'? If not, I'd like to have a go.

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.

Thanks to get bent for organising this.
