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

(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.

There were quite a few early claims. I'm just trying to be fair.

COMP TOGETHER - ILX Covers The Beatles

And first-come, first-serve goes to ilx.beatles.comp senders. If requests get sent anywhere else, I likely won't get to them until this weekend.

cool?

I resubmitted.

sorry I didn't really read the thread.

submitted

crut you better not have taken ob la di ob la da

Yay got my number one!

Was bounced down to my third choice song, but then resubmitted with a completely different one that I'll actually have to think about...

(every drone rock person here probably put "It's All Too Much" down)

did not actually think i'd get my #1 and I got it. scared!

I got my #1 as well.

Is there a spreadsheet hiding somewhere? How do you know you've been (or haven't been) awarded your first pick? Didn't get a confirmation email or anything

As a drone rock person I put 'Within You, Without You' as my Number 1 which I didn't get.

Lee, did you email me at ilx.beatles.comp at gmail.com? Between that and Arkansas Bride, I haven't had time to check any other addresses.

I've been trying to look every hour or so.

sent it to the first one. it's in my outbox.

Please send it to the ilx.beatles.comp one for now.

Just got the 20th submission.

- Five songs from one album.

- One instrumental claimed.

- No Ringo songs.

- No covers.

meant sent it to that email addy, yes.

i'll resend

I'm actually kinda scared I got my FAVOURITE song. Like, so much to live up to. Almost wish I'd got a 2nd or 3rd choice so it wouldn't matter so much to me if I mucked it up.

But not enough to change now, mind.

Lee, just saw yours and your first choice is okay.

I just set this email address up and already, gmail is sending hotmail addresses to my spam folder. I'll try to keep an eye out for that, but beware.

AOL users, you too, just in case.
