I'm in.

― sundar subramanian, Saturday, 9 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

this is very good idea. i will consult duckling and other bandmates.

― di, Saturday, 9 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I am probably not in, unless I either develop some talent or lose what little shame I have left in the next 6 weeks, but I'd love a copy.

― Rebecca, Saturday, 9 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oh flippin' stinky heck, I'm in.

Nitsuh... you better be in, too. Your statscock hip hop song rocked the skills like a chester.

― Brian MacDonald, Saturday, 9 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I will stifle my tendency to make fun of myself and offer a track for such an endeavor. Someone's gonna have to go shopping for a 4-track (or a fancy soundcard) (and a microphone).

― Daver, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

About the artwork, this is just a test thing as I banged it up in about five minutes from this old sketch I had around - so I could possibly do something like this or just as easily something totally different. I like it of course, but I'm not sure that style really suits this place? I was thinking of possibly more cartoonish, something funny, something more cleanly graphic maybe... Any suggestions?

Second idea I had. How about having the back with the track listing emulate the layout/look of the New Answers page? Nerdish I know, hehe

― Kim, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Darn it, that link isn't working is it? They must have just changed that - I'll try something else momentarily...

― Kim, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

ok maybe they still let me do this

― Kim, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

may i contribute a song?

― chaki, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

can i too?

― duane, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This is going to be the worst record ever!

― N., Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Some booster you are!

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Hey, Nick - to double the crapitude, I was thinking of covering a BEATLES song!

― Daver, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Now you're talking.

― N., Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No Nick, the worst album ever is & will always be "xtrmntr"

Please count me in on this projeckt. Whoever is dealing w/thee mechanicks ov it. pls mail me off list w/submission details at yr convenience etc.

― Norman Phay, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm well in- if it happens I'll try and convince Mr Steve to let us give a song- otherwise you'll have to make do with one of me side- projects, ugh.

i)The Lucksmiths are bloody fantastic! ii)Rebecca MUST do a song, for some crazed reason I'm convinced that she's a musical genius.

― emil.y, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

even worse than U2, Nick?

i'm trying to compose a soundtrack for my animated student film, if i'm not too embarrassed at the results, you can have it. right now, all i've got is enough loops to satisfy toucan sam. there's the "eno loop" (from "an ending/ascent") , the "spooky loop" (sounds like the o'rourke idm album), the "coldloop" (constructed from the sound of a strummed guitar and the first half-second of coldplay's "don't panic" recorded off the tv), the "hard loop" (a kind of semi-harsh jungle, big-beat thing) and the "piano loop" (self explanantory), amongst others. all i need now is a tune. (btw, "tuareg" is a great free drum loop creator, and a small download.)

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

even worse than U2, Nick?

BRANE.. HURTS... MUST STOP....

― N., Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

(Thanks for the responses so far! There should be more details about this next week, or those who have said they want to contribute will be e-mailed)

― jel --, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

If you're still wondering Ned, The Lucksmiths are a bit like Hefner (in that acoustic trio sort of way) except from sunnier climes and considerably happier. Very pop. They are superstars in their hometown. We might be touring with them soon! Yay!

― electric sound of jim, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Clarity is mine, thanks!

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

me and duckling want in.

― di, Sunday, 10 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i would really like to do some music for this and also no dis to kim but LET ME DO THE ART PLEASE.

― ethan, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Seems to me there could be more than one piece of art included, yes?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i would like to do some linear notes

― anthony, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

can't...think...of un-nedlike joke...to make...

― ethan, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

fuck you ethan

― anthony, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Wot emily says. I will be sending you 120 MINUTE ROCK MASTERPIECE by mailpots yaga.

― Steve.n., Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This sounds MENTAL. Also, the Lucksmiths don't sound like Hefner. Heh heh. I will do a GRATE song for it if only I find a WURLITZER ORGAN at the Boot Fair. Must... go... to... boot... fair. There is a DANGER with liner notes as all the contributxx0rs will be INTERWEB MENTALISTS. However a good idea would be to call it 'THE WURLD IS FULL OF BABIES' or 'STONE AGE, BONE AGE'! Hem hem I am looking through a cheap book catalogue and these are kids bookZoR titles. Wash, scrub, brush!

― Sarah, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sarah, maybe they could download the GREAT version we did at karaoke of DO YOU REALLY LIKE IT which is no doubt somewhere on the interweb.

― Emma, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I would like to contribute as well.

― Honda, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Here Emsipies.

― Graham, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

oooh can i contribute a musical collaboration with AUbrey?

― katie, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

At this rate we should do a double CD. Which is fine by me.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Incentive to finish the Rebirth jams I've been working on! Count me IN!

― Dan Perry, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dan Dan Dan: you must bump up to Reason. Seriously.

― Nitsuh, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Nitsuh, I recognize this, but first I have to bump up to a computer that can handle Reason. Anyone who wants to float me $700 for a decent Dell is more than welcome to.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

anthony! i was just joking about how i didn't want to pun about the linear typo!!

― ethan, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Why is ethan so put upon?

― N., Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

nick what does put upon mean?

― ethan, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Kind of like 'bullied'.

― N., Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

well then yes, that is a good question.

― ethan, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

no dis to ethan but LET ME DO THE ART PLEASE.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

sure mitch if we want it to look like a political cartoon.

― ethan, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

or at least help a bit.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

ethan, i can do OTHER THINGS INVOLVING DESIGN WOT DON'T LOOK LIKE POLITICAL CARTOONS you know. It's this kind of thing that gets you put upon.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I want to collaborate with Hanle y on a cover of "Heart and Soul" by Hey Lewis.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, please. I'm into doing something for it...

― Douglas, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

NEAT how Nick said "this is going to be the worst album ever" right after I said can I be on it.

i mean i'd expect that from someone who knew me, or lived here , or whatever...i guess ...you knwo

― , Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yeah but that second one I did has a Moomin and a reform school girl on it! Who wouldn't buy that?

― Kim, Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Skipping 11 messages at this point... Click here if you want to load them all.

which i guess makes it a good genre for me to essay. can someone lend me a laptop?

― , Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I would love to contribute.

― dleone, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm in, if there's room. My jazz quartet just recorded an album, I would love to use one of the alternate takes.

― Jordan, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

it would be cool if we could get a dope artist to do the artwork

― chippy, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

YES IT WOULD BE

― ethan, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

maybe you'll hit me and tell me to shut the fuck up.. but a better idea surely would be if you did like an 'eclectic' dj mix album with each ilx member/regular submitting one of their favourite songs.

might be better than a load of amateur glitch twee bollocks and momus.

― Wyndham Earl, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Uh, no. For one thing, you don't know what's actually going to be presented (hell, nobody does); for another, the whole point is to show yer creativity. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I would literally much, much rather hear someone else's music rather than someone else's musical taste.

― electric sound of jim, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Okay, I'm starting to get PISSED OFF that people are assuming that I would write twee glitch. There isn't a twee bone in my entire fucking body. I eat babies for breakfast, I'm so fucking hardcore. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go frolic with the unicorns. Tra-lala-lalalala, Tra-lala-laLAAAAAAAAA... SATAN!

― Dan Perry, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That's "Dan P*rry", Googling future prospective employers. That name again: "Dan P*rry".(* Sorry, I'm a wuss)

― Graham, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

(because Dan is so fucking hardcore)

― Graham, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

― electric sound of jim, Sunday, 17 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

(more info on this in the next week or so, promise!)

― jel --, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

wyndham e. - no that's a dumm idea.

― duane, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

there's already suppose to be that ILX mixtape, right? you can just have that if you dont want to hear our wonderful works of creative genius.

― duane, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

oh ok.

what, i mean, you think i want to hear your scabby 'tastes' in music too?

meh.

― Wyndham Earl, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

So you didn't like the CD i sent you then Mr Earl?

― electric sound of jim, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

if ppl have already decided this is going to suck, OK! i'm thinkin' a @20-minute drum solo.

― duane, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

no i just thought of something better - a TOPLOADER COVER with a 20 min drum solo. SEe me go!

― duane, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think I might to a Jandek medley using only the spoons

― electric sound of jim, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

can i "remix" it? this will involve editing in a 20 min drum solo somewhere.

― , Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

absolutely! it will be an hour long, and will take up one of the CDs on its own.

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

hey duane stop stealing my jokes.
oh btw, to duane and duckling, i suggest we get set on our respective collaborations over easter?

― di, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i didnt "steal" yr joke, i re-mixed it.

― duane, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

From all I've read, this sounds like it may be three CDs....going on four;>

I can't play a damn thing, but I wouldn't mind writing some of the liner notes, as well....if we amateurs can contribute.

― Nichole Graham, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

My new band "Band for a day" are going to contribute some extreme noise, radiators, indeed.

― jel --, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I work for a record label. They probably wouldn't release it but would be willing and able to give lots of help and advice on releasing it ourselves and be able to get a much better deal at a pressing plant than one availible to the general public

― Ed, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Also, I now have music making facilities, (REAKTOR, BATTERY, DP3) on my computer, so I might have something for you.

― Ed, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Dammit, why'd all y'all post this on ILE instead of ILM? Doh! (I guess I should start reading ILE except, like, there's only so many hours in the day). I'd like to be in, but virtually everything I have recorded is pushing 10-15 years old now. I really should get my hard disk recording software operational and get some stuff together. Definitely not glitch from this end, but hard to tell which direction it'll go, cause I do anything from jangle pop to harsh electric noise, depending on my mood. (nothing like lack of focus)

― Sean Carruthers, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

So have we decided on a final closing date? and where do we send our finished tracks (not that I have any yet, just wondering...)

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I just sent Jel a question regarding this. No doubt something will be figured out shortly. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Still having fun trying out some other ideas - a Nagel-ish 3rd mock up can be viewed here if you wanna looksee.

― Kim, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

get in ! - i will write summat today

― a-33, Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

me too !!

― , Friday, 22 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

three months pass...

Count me in!
I'm thinking of contributing my 2step remix of the Family Ties theme!!

― Keith McD, Monday, 24 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link
