d'oh!

Sweet Jeebus, this is the good stuff. And, yeah, it's like so obvious who this is, NED.

David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 22:36 (twenty years ago)

On behalf of our staff, I'd like to ask that those of you who think you know the identities of Jinglesource employees please keep this thread clear of hinting, speculation, and the like. Is it not enough that these fine people have dedicated their lives to providing high-quality jingles for you, gratis? Must they also be dragged into the light, subjected to your poking and prodding and evaluation? Leave them be, friends, leave them be.

John Jacob Jinglesmith, Tuesday, 23 August 2005 22:39 (twenty years ago)

i keep being forgotten :(

Oh thankyou thankyou thankyou for my jingle John Jacob Jinglesource. It is wonderful. I think I will put it on a CD and play it all day in the car. If making people smile is a powerful thing, by god you've harnessed it!

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 23:19 (twenty years ago)

:-D

Wow. This is really amazing stuff. I'm in love with Hurting's, Kate's and GARU's jingles (and aside from heavily lurking I don't even really *know* them :-)).
Listening to all these in a row gives me a Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs feeling. 'Cause obviously, these all are really just plain, gorgeous love songs.

And perhaps for a first as a lurker, I'd like to aply for a jingle, if that at all is possible.

Gerard (Gerard), Tuesday, 23 August 2005 23:45 (twenty years ago)

Oh Jingler! Wow!

I'm afraid you already have too many requests than you can handle, but I would like to request one on my husband Scott Seward's behalf anyway.

Then if you have time one for me, Maria :D, or actually not for me but for the nascent radio station I'm trying to start, WVVY, that would be grand. Your rules expressly stipulate noncommercial use. I assure you that WVVY would never *ever* use the jingle except for noncommercial purposes, like raising money. As WVVY is not a person or a poster on ILX, perhaps this request does not qualify. If it doesn't, then I would love one for myself, the person Maria :D

I'm really loving listening to them. Your underwater studio must be sweet!

Maria :D (Maria D.), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Dearest Homosexual II: Once again, I offer my sincerest apologies, even as another valuable member of our staff is launched via airlock into the briny deep. That's two down and fourteen to go. Thankfully, our Jazz-Themed Jingle specialist is working late this evening, and was able to whip up a jingle, with apologies, just for you.

Homosexual II

Dear all: Thank you so much for your kind comments. I have shared them with the Jinglesource staff and they are highly appreciated. I believe the boost to their morale will result in even finer jingles in future. The list of jingle requests is, as you can all see, quite long, but we will work steadily toward honoring all requests. Check back often, and thank you for your patience.

John Jacob Jinglesmith, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

hahaha, Mandee's is great. Hell, they're all great.

Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 01:56 (twenty years ago)

holy shit

my life's been made!!

Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 02:00 (twenty years ago)

If you ever decide to change your screen name, it should be to "Jewel of the Rockies."

Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

Might Keullah and I have one, at all? The three of us have been listening to Mandee's and Adam's all night, they're incredible.

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 02:34 (twenty years ago)

These are so gay.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:03 (twenty years ago)

Please add me to the list.

Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:05 (twenty years ago)

kingfish fucked up his login (kingfish 2.0), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 03:29 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I give in. Me too. Please.

luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 04:12 (twenty years ago)

I just discovered this thread! I'd like to add my jingle request to the Jinglesource queue. My preference is for something minimal that would sound good when looped (but I'll accept whatever the JS folks deem appropriate).

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 05:21 (twenty years ago)

I'm considering changing my nick just so's I can get another.
I don't suppose you're down with double dipping, are you jinglemaster?

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

this is fantastic.

Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 09:01 (twenty years ago)

fantastic! please to put my name down too

Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 09:08 (twenty years ago)

I would like a jingle very much thank you please.

aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

All hail John Jacob Jinglesmith!

Kittens Licking Cakes (coco), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:00 (twenty years ago)

please can I have one? Something grinding and rumpyish if at all possible. thanks.

Rumpie, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 13:11 (twenty years ago)

Please find below the current jingle queue. As it is somewhat long, fulfillment of the most recently requested jingles may take up to two weeks. Our jingleers and jinglists do, of course, have paid projects and busy private lives to attend to. All requests on the attached list will be honored, in sequence. You may feel free to request further jingles, but I'm sorry to announce that fulfillment of new requests cannot be guaranteed. We will make every effort to accommodate rising demand, but obviously we have lives and stuff.

what kind of lives do you have at the bottom of the Pacific?

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:11 (twenty years ago)

I writhe in sweaty anticipation.

Rock Hardy (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:26 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for accepting WVVY's order!

Maria :D (Maria D.), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:27 (twenty years ago)

WOFS: writhing on floor sweating

Maria :D (Maria D.), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

I'd love one too.

RR (restandrec), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

I want one so bad I can taste it.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

Okay, I'm gonna press my luck and request a theme song for the Tofu Hut. At your leisure.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 19:15 (twenty years ago)

Thanks john jacob!!!
though i can't make out the third line, i like that im bare-bones bluesy!

Fetchboy (Felcher), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

Resistance obv. useless. Please add me to the list for whenever the Jingleteam is available.

Bonus points if the jingle artisans can work in the source of my handle.

(and can't wait to see your impact on the Scrobblelist)

rogermexico (rogermexico), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:31 (twenty years ago)

i would also cherish a jingle, while fully understanding that you and The Staff are both overwhelmed and have no idea who i am.

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

HOLY CRAP MAY I PLEASE HAVE A JINGLE? MY NAME IS GIBOYEUX.

I would cherish it forever. And ever and ever. OMG. Please!

giboyeux (skowly), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:11 (twenty years ago)

...I hope I'm not coming on too strong. These are amazing.

giboyeux (skowly), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

I decided I just figured this out

; )

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 25 August 2005 00:55 (twenty years ago)

heck i don't want to feel left out. electric sound of jim would like one too.

jimmy glass (electricsound), Thursday, 25 August 2005 00:57 (twenty years ago)

gone quiet...

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 25 August 2005 08:26 (twenty years ago)

Press "play" again then.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 25 August 2005 08:31 (twenty years ago)

I would like one, please, but I don't know if I'm enough of a character.

Cathy (Cathy), Thursday, 25 August 2005 10:21 (twenty years ago)

I made the list! :-) John Jacob Jinglesmith I kiss you!

Gerard (Gerard), Thursday, 25 August 2005 10:35 (twenty years ago)

It's a bit like the Residents' "Commercial Record" vs The Might be giantsism.

I said it was quiet. On this thread it is. On other threads it's blummin noisy.

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 25 August 2005 11:29 (twenty years ago)

I think I recognise the voice on this. In fact I'm almost sure I know ...

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 25 August 2005 14:45 (twenty years ago)

i'd like to be on the list too though i'm rather late to all this....

juliaaa, Thursday, 25 August 2005 15:19 (twenty years ago)

Dearest Anna: I'm sure whoever you think it is is way too cool to waste his or her time at the bottom of the Pacific, writing jingles.

Dearest Fetchboy: The third line of your jingle is "a book-pulping hermit." Our reference librarian informs me that this is a reference to someone named Horrible, or Horrable, or Hrabal, or something. I should also take this opportunity to answer a previous lyric question. The first line of Anthony Easton's jingle is "the pinkest of the meeses."

Dearest all: We apologize for not providing further jingles today. The Jinglesource staff was given leave to celebrate Plankton Day, a popular Pacific holiday. They are currently sleeping it off. More fine products coming soon.

John Jacob Jinglesmith, Thursday, 25 August 2005 15:28 (twenty years ago)

-Jimmy the Mod's is a stone cold classic.
-jaymc's: lovely. misunderstood.
-Ronan's theme music is a tru banger.
-The "he's delicious"x100 portion of MF Gill's mark p remix is disturbingly awesome.
-Adam in Real Life is the best one so far, both moving and catchy.
-STRONGO'S OMG -- the only one I had to listen to twice.
-kate's is truly beautiful!
-I eagerly await every single one of these.
-I have a theory.
