Download & Listen to COMP TOGETHER - ILX Covers The Beatles (Available Now!)

And that link doesn't work, mother fuc

ilx.beatles.comp @ gmail . com

just sent an email, although I'm guessing someone already claimed it!

Won't accept it for another 23 hours or so!

Yeah, nearly did as well, forgot the date..

d'oh!

after actually reading the thread rather than skimming, now i feel like an idiot. but let my misery serve as a warning for the rest of you: don't be like me!

Someone should do Maxwell's Silver Ban Hammer.

They're doing "Please Mr Postflag" instead.

this could become an unintended distributed-denial-of-service attack on the ILX server at 1400 GMT

why?

Send them to gmail. They deserve it.

One hour and 18 minutes...

Question: are we allowed to do several tracks in the form of a 'medley', or are we only allowed to do one track and one track only?

I agree that multiple versions would sound cool, but I'm more interested in covering a lot of ground, seeing what songs get taken first, and how it's going to sound when it's put all together. You really want to hear six versions of "Helter Skelter" in that Love mix?

But that said, if someone wants to go all Beatallica and throw in a few riffs from other songs into their mix, that's cool. Lord knows the Beatles themselves pulled that trick a couple of times. Just as long as it's under the umbrella of one song title.

So yeah. No one gets to claim Stars on 45.

All around the world there are ILXors poised with their fingers (or other appendages) over the 'send' button.

AND WE'RE OFF.

haha enjoy your DoS

(although if 15 ppl can take down Google by sending emails to the same address, lol)

I imagine someone in Google's GMail control centre is right now going "WTF?! ILX? Is this the next stuxnet/Flame?"

Argh I hope mine went through! Stress! Pressure! (my chosen song title feeling v appropriate right now)

I'M NUMBER ONE
I'M NUMBER ONE

I sure hope those seven emails didn't kill google.

I'm going to get the spreadsheet worked up and check back every hour or so. Still plenty of love to make out there.

whoa, I totally forgot about this, but luckily happened to check ILX at a few minutes past 10 and got my claim in. btw, i only chose one song, and if i don't get it i will switch into sabotage mode and attempt to prevent the entire project from happening using only a broadsword and an unlimited-ride amtrak pass

Still plenty of love to make out there.

my life motto....

xp I don't think the Amtrak network goes as far a Europe.

I put my message into my lovely hi-spec email sender, to send "after 3:00"

Needless to say, it did nowt.

Now to sit on this for 6.95 months only to suddenly remember when this thread is bumped and dash something off in a blind panic...

yeah, I thought the AC ILX cover release was far but this is something else !

Yay I got my chosen song!

::does happy dance::

Actually that's inappropriate I should do a solemn and stoned George Harrison dance.

^^ SPOILER

w@@t

my spur-of-the-moment choice - ACCEPTED

N/A's Fab Four re-endition of PUMPING BLOOD will certainly be guaranteed to raise a smile!

(I used that joke on my reply email to him too. This morning has been HILARIOUS.)

I'm in too !
so see you guys in 6 months ?

in the meantime, to keep this alive, pplains, maybe you could make an update of the tracks taken (or available, whatever is more convenient) ? like every month or something ? that would also prevent people from sending you requests for songs that are not available anymore !

wouldn't that spoil the surprise of the final tracklist?

but no one, but pplains, would know WHO makes WHICH song !
and maybe ALL their songs will be taken so no spoiler ! (ok, the probability is not high).

There's probably some way vague hints can be left.

Eleven submissions in the first hour. Leaning heavily toward "blue album" material.

If you submitted before 1400 GMT (a little more than an hour ago), I may not get back to your email until this weekend. So if you really want yours, resubmit it to be fair to everyone.

ILX.BEATLES.COMP @ gmail.com

can you put me and chris down for "birthday"?

Please see preceding post.

I can't take submissions here. If they show up in bold at an address I specifically set up to handle this comp, we might have a chance.

you should probably just autopost the submission guidelines every other minute

It wouldn't hurt since it all gets lost in the vapors.

- SUBMIT your song choice to ILX.BEATLES.COMP @ gmail.com. Songs assigned in the order that claims are received.

We're up to 14 so far.

Or have a 'review post' stage that says "Are you submitting a request? You want to do that? Really?" ...

I've only had to give one person their second choice so far. Looking good!

Actually more than excited about this now!

pplains did you not count my claims? I guess I sent it before it was time.
