i'll probably do something. i'm apparently committing to every ilx music project these days. i kind of want to try to make the most depressing christmas song i can.
― congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 13 October 2011 21:46 (twelve years ago) link
maybe i should promise to do "cherry tree carol" so i can force myself to do somethingi loathe christmas music but i love that songand it would force me to tryand i know the song
i am going to regret this (and may need help) but can i claim that song til further notice?

One of my college roommates was very talented musically, sang in a barbershop quartet, etc. He was good at transposing songs into other keys, and one afternoon he had us all on the floor laughing/crying by singing carols as minor-key dirges.
― Antonio Carlos Broheem (WmC), Thursday, 13 October 2011 21:51 (twelve years ago) link
my fantasy is that we all get together, have a party, get drunk, then each pick a celebrity who sang on "do they know its christmas" and try to do an imitation of that celebrity singing their line.

Sure, but as noted, no limitations -- if people want to do their own take on that, feel free. I figure people should post what you want to do when you've figured out the song and I'll keep a running list. And remember, do originals too if you want! No reason not to!
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 13 October 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
Ok, tbh I'm already regretting posting that, so we'll see if I can manage to get anything at all done by Nov. 15

Tom D., I do not even have a personal computer right now, just my work computer, so "not great" could have been substituted for non-existent. I am not happy about it, but perhaps Chrismtmas this year will bring some new toys ....

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.
