So when we're done, do we just post a link here? Or is there a dropbox or ftp thing?

― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 14 May 2012 19:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

We'll do this like LULU -- send me the tracks and I'll put 'em all together. E-mail or fileshare link to:

I will happily contribute in a vocal capacity, but I have no instrumental ability.

I mean, I don't really have vocal ability either, but

Any title of the remaining three grab you?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 14 May 2012 22:38 (1 year ago) Permalink

They are all so good I can't decide. "Mercury Man" has the potential to be a really bizarre sci-fi story, though.

Now accepting auditions for backing band! Also I have never heard Animal Collective (nor do I ever really want to).

I sort of wish Weird Al would do an Animal Collective parody.

You mean there's no room in your heart for some original artwork showing pink sparkling vomit?

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 00:30 (1 year ago) Permalink

I'm willing to try a collaboration with anyone who didn't make it on the list in time - contenderizer, uh oh, whoever.

Animal Collective's Brian Weitz (aka Geologist) spoke with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 last night to discuss the band's newly announced album Centipede Hz. Lovers of early Animal Collective, rejoice: Weitz said the band has moved away from Merriweather Post Pavilion's sound and "back to our roots."
The band members all moved back to the Baltimore area to record together. Weitz said, "We got a little practice space in this barn on Josh [Dibb, aka Deakin]'s mom's property and it was basically like being a garage band again."
That means you'll find less sampling on Centipede Hz than on Merriweather, and more organic instrumentation. "This one we wrote more as a rock band in a room and we wanted to record it that way as well." Weitz also mentioned that they've played most of the music on the record live on tour over the past year.

Is it a rule that you can't have heard the live versions before doing this? Cos I haven't and now that I think about it yeah maybe some people have.

― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 17:02 (1 year ago) Permalink

Perhaps so! Doesn't matter, live versions don't always sound like the studio ones anyway.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 17:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

It's a shame if AC have taken a step backwards for this record, hoping that ILX are going to take up the slack a bit.

― Goodbye 20th Centipede (NickB), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 17:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

in the interest of trolling youtubers, i fully endorse ppl hearing the live versions first and then attempting the most ~creative~ interpretation of them, though i realize that may go against the ILX Pre-Cover philosophy

We'll rent a state-of-the-art studio in NYC, take over two floors of a nearby hotel, pay a guru to make sure that the 'chi' is balanced, and then get loaded on 100 year old brandy and coke.
