ILX pre-covers Animal Collective's "Centipede Hz"

Maybe the formal requirement is a mewling baby somewhere.

pooing babies surely?

i have little enough talent without placing formal constraints on myself

Yeah, pretty much thinking that after the time limit for the last one that's about as far as we can/should go.

the only rule for this i could possibly get behind is requiring everyone to say "C'MON JAMES!" at least once per song

Or having that generic owl noise Panda Bear used on Person Pitch

the only rule is there are no rules !

So in a colossal bout of annoying my upstairs neighbours, I've finished recording this. It's going to be a pain in the arse to mix it, though. Maybe the twist can be that everybody sends their track off to someone else to mix it? And the person who mixes it (or remixes it) submits the finished track without playing it for the original artist first? That would be v v funny.

dammit, I missed this.

Do you want to mix my track, Crut? ;-)

possibly! what form is the unmixed version in?

That's a cool idea

I did it in Reason/Record (which seems to be a format that no one uses) can you read that at all?

I've got a rough mix on MP3 now...

i came up with some lyrics, which i may or may not use. they started out funny but got a bit bleak.

Hey hon we are in south st paul, probably be home around 6

Oops that was supposed to be a text to my wife

maybe that should be our formal constraint. all tracks have to contain that post as a lyric.

Just throw in something about warm family feelings and farting flowers.

WCC - I use Reason v4.0 (no Record sadly) & I can also work with .wav/.mp3 files. my ILXmail goes to a defunct address so if you want to contact me via email my addy is curtis.stephens (AT) gmail (DOT) com, but feel free to just ignore & do your own thing if that is what you would prefer.

otm all

After slapping a "pop" compression all over it, I decided the mix was fine but after listening to The Orb and Adrian Sherwood all afternoon I've decided to rip all of the 303 out and replace it with booming dub bass. Stop me before I ruin everything!

hey i don't post here much but if this is really happening i will pre-cover an animal collective song called "monkey riches"

Seems like there might actually be enough interest to warrant the third volume.

Third volume should be done totally in the style of Warrant imo.

Hahah.

If there's definitely enough interest I'll throw it open...

3rd volume should be approx covers of the real versions on youtube from recent performances

But via kazoo and whistle.

Do we have times to go w/ track listing ala Lulu?

Nah. Create epics, go minimal, whatever.

Anyway, no rush but just a reminder that there's about a month and a week or so to go on this one. If you're all not busy figuring our your Beatles covers already. ;-)

Does anybody want to take on "Father Time" on CD1?

I have actually finished mine!

But then I decided to rip out the boring bass and replace it, and that was even worse, so I'm trying to get the original bass sound back.

v v tempted to just send it to Crut but I'm scared he'd muck about with the timbre too much ;-)

Have song lengths been released yet?

i have had to put my laptop in for repair, so i don't think i'll get thi s done. anyone want monkey riches? i was just gonna splice up 'i wanna belike you' from the jungle book in a person pitch style

As I say, people:

I'm coming up with nothing I'm satisfied with for "Father Time" at the moment.

How long have we got now?

A month?

OK, I'll give it another go..

i'll gladly step up and take one if somebody can't do it and there's no one else in line.

had no idea about this thread or that there was a new animal collective album tbh

what's the cut-off date guys? and where do i send (sorry if this info is plastered very prominently anywhere else).

Tell you what, I'll concentrate on the Beatles thing, if Charlie H wants a go.

OK?

fine with me Mark, but as you say there's still a month to work with and it's a first in, first served kinda deal, so ball is totally in your court.

It's yours.

cheers.

thanks man. i'll try and do your spot proud :)

I'll probably sample this in mine.

Hi, Stevie D and boyfriend have to pull out of this thing; we are not collaborating as well as we thought and I'd do it myself but I am without computer at the moment. Do you wanna bump whoever was "Rosie Oh" on compilation 2 into our slot on #1 or something? I don't know.

We're sorry :(

No worries -- I'll run through and do an update here later today as I can. Busy week! Reminder to all that you still have a month plus to finish your tracks!

I'M FINALLY FINISHED!!!!

I have tamed the bass transients. I shall email it over imminently.

Roxor.

I've scrapped the recording I've done (mixed, mastered, everything), and will re-record tomorrow...

Just a quick note that the deadline's in a few weeks here!

Is this a good idea if you've never *actually* heard Animal Collective other than a snippet on a review show that you didn't really like?

Not that I actually have any time for this, mind you...
