ILX Christmas Compilation: Deck the Halls With Boughs of LOLly (2013 expansion! Deadline is December 1!)

Thanks! We have four new tracks total at this point. Again, deadline is tomorrow: I'll upload and share out the comp either tomorrow night or Monday evening.

Will have to do a 'Deluxe' style 2CD set with the new extras

The Special Edition has a Blu-Ray documentary filmed in HD, featuring of all of us sitting in our respective bedroom/living room/shed studios, 'Classic Albums' style.

"Yeah, man... Like, this is, the guitar I used on that track..."

Interviewer (off camera): "How did you get that sound?"
ILXor: "Well it was pure chance, actually. I accidentally played my guitar through a bass amp."

Interviewer (still off camera): "Did you run the Klon through the Blockhead?"
ILXor: "Yeah, I did, actually. Now they're both in hospital with concussion."

Okay the uploading took longer than I thought thanks to a screwup on SoundCloud's end BUT...

who is elf with wound

ah answered upth

Indeed. Anyway, bumping a bit for the new week.

argh! forgot to send you my track.

WELL. Next year, then! (Grandavis's was originally submitted after last year's deadline!)

Look forward to listening to this later

This is a hell of a lot of fun to listen to, such a cool range of stuff. Thanks as usual Ned. Gonna listen again!

Eclectic!

Really enjoying this still, especially as I get closer to being on vacation! Tom D., your tracks are really great I must say, right up my alley. I would listen to those in any context. Do you record other stuff? I mean everything on this is good/fun/rocking and many combinations of all of those things, but those tracks and the Elf With Wound song I could listen to on repeat without any complaints.

Thanks g, your track is great too btw! I only work when prompted these days, more or less.

Mariah Carey's Christmas track breaks a million sales

Congratulations Philip Nunez and Friends Mariah...
Wait, what?

Thanks Tom D., and I hope folks keep prompting you to make stuff.

Christmas Day is on a Monday this year, so...
'Xmas Monday'

An album for your Seasonal Needs!

Man, I had totally forgotten about this, is there a place it can be heard? We ought to set up an ILX Bandcamp or something.

I thought it was on SoundCloud, seems not.

DJP's multi-tracked 'god rest ye' is incredible
