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

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.

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

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:
