ILX Christmas Compilation: Deck the Halls With Boughs of LOLly (2013 expansion! Deadline is December 1!)

:-D

Needs a separate release thread, I'da thought

Done! Finished!

you can download if you have a Soundcloud account (free, takes about a minute to register)

Uh, how do you download?

track-by-track

Right. But how do you do that?

look for http://findicons.com/files/icons/2015/24x24_free_application/24/load.png (but in back/white)

Got ya!

Thread not gettin' enough love!

Listening to it right now! Great so far, and already a range of approaches. Looking forward to the rest ...

First listen-through this morning...really enjoyed it!

As there a list of which ILMers were responsible for each track? Most have band names attached to them. I looked above but didn't find it, but let me know if I just missed it.

Listening Elf With Wound right now. A+

Wow, now the LOLs! "All I Want for Xmas is LouLou" into "Holiday in Catbodia" is great. Nice sequencing.

And ta for compliments about my track, much appreciated. I wish more people had contributed, fuck yer doing the Beatles

Hey Tom D, gotta say that BOTH of your tracks are great by the way. Song title for the first one is amazing. Fahey reference, correct?

Sad that I did not submit to this, I actually just recorded a Christmas thing for something here in Virginia, but I also think I imagined that this comp was going to be more jokey for some reason. What I recorded may have fit perfectly well.

Hey we can always go for the 2013 edition. :-D

Fair enough! If there is a 2013 that is ...

Really loving the Mark Grout "Xmas Trees" track right now.

Stille Nacht is amazing!

Fahey reference, correct?

No, actually but I'll take it! Just a Red Clydesiders reference.

Thanks

DJP - impressive!

^_^ thanks!

Aye, thon's proper music, laddie

yeah, u sound all fancy!!

Yes, that's some fine work. Imagine my joy on realising it comes directly before mine in the tracklisting.

Weekend Bump

Uh, I think Asda are ripping me off on one of their adverts

if anyone wanted to add cookie monster or hetfield-y vocals to "xmas at ground zero" (i guess for next year's comp?)

I'm keeping clear this time :)

Merry Christmas, you guys

Merriest!

"salvaged an otherwise miserable night"

Merry Christmas everybody and thanks to Ned for his curating skills.

yes, thanks so much Ned!

Yer welcome, all!

Since this seems to be the thread to say it: merry thingymas, ILXors

Any possibility of reviving this for 2013?

Yeah I should get around to a reupload. Will do that tonight!

If there are any desires to add to the compilation:

Great, thanks. Same e-mail address for sending songs as before?

Yup!

If anyone wants to back me and produce on a cover of Tom Lehrer's "Christmas Carol," lmk

I've got an idea brewing for a new track so I'll get to work on it

Hey Ned, I sent you a recording last year that was a little too late. Is it eligible for the re-boot? I do not have a great recording set up right now, so that would be my best contribution. I can resend of course.

(xp) Fuck it, that idea didn't work... but I've got another one, to the Batcave!

Grandavis: please resend!

I do not have a great recording set up right now

LOL, mine's is a PC, an freeware audio editor and a guitar

Alright Ned, will do.

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 ....

is this still available on Soundcloud please ?
