ILX pre-covers Liam Gallagher's "As You Were"

You and me both - former not latter.

I can scarce bring myself to confess that Beady Eye are a closed book to me.

im making alt r&b bc fuck liam gallagher

I'm just going to do a cover of the only Oasis song I am familiar with. I think that that will be very Bold

I love it when people say things like "I've never listened to an Oasis record in full" like they're expecting some kind of medal or prize for it.

Good, we can carry on doing it then.

my plan is to figure out what Beatles song to rip off and build a song around that

i'm thinking spoken word, possibly with a sample of some kind. or else a friend can help me with some banging fooking synth

wait a minute, I'm not sure synths are appropriate to make REAL music !

'The Interior Life of Liam Gallagher' set to record by Local Garda? I'm down.

Just finished mine. That was fun.

Nothing but guitar solos and screams.

Pretty much! Though no guitars were harmed.

localgarda if you need some loopin' floopin' synth shapes, i know a guy

I started work today. I’m a shit singer.

Are those Liam lyrics?

This is an interesting concept. I am too late for this one.

How do you guys choose which album to "pre-cover"?

It just kinda happens, I suppose. I think the best choices tend to be long established artists who are usually well past their peak, however defined.

I mean, it helped that the first choice was U2's No Line On the Horizon. That almost set the tone.

FWIW, you can run down the full list here

Are these available for purchase or download?

I think right now only the Lulu ones are, but I'm not sure.

Lulu is on soundcloud somewhere

the u2 album sparked the idea for me because I thought the song titles were interesting but I was not interested in the actual album

Ah indeed : I have never listened to that u2 album so whenever I see one of the titles I hear the ILX version in my head !

Very much the same thing for the Lulu album, too.

Yup. Actually, the only original album I know of the ilx covered ones is the AnCo, I think.

Whenever I see someone walking a little dog, I think of the Little Dog tracks on the ILX Lulu comp

i am up for this if you want to collaborate! i have a good idea of what i will do with this so i can webmail you if your ilx mail works, or else give me a mail here.

Ahah the opening lines from "Chinatown" :
Well the cops are taking over
While everyone's in yoga
'Cause happiness is still a warm gun

It's oasis lyrics generator level !

Three weeks to go!

I guess I should look at this, huh

My "Chinatown " version is a lot more...errm...minimal? Lyrically speaking.

Ten days to go!

I wrote a verse! Still haven't recorded…

i have the core of the track done, but it has a very expensive sample i must clear with paul mccartney

I confess i haven't had the time to work on the track as I initially planned it, I worked out the structure of it but realized it would take me forever to do it with my mininmal resources... plus I'm going on holiday next week. So, I'm going to cannibalize an existing track, hopefully it shouldn't take too long - hopefully - I think it should work out fine.

I'm in the same boat, suddenly having to move house in two weeks, but it'll be fine LG xx

i wrote something last week that was ok, just something tossed off that is pretty much a full song. i tried starting over from scratch yesterday and made a totally different song but i don't like it as much as the first. now that it's down to the wire i'm thinking i'll go back to that first one and clean it up. only problem is i don't think it sounds like Oasis or Liam at all =)

The latter has never been a requirement.

And thank god for that.

I did sit down to write a plodding indie-rock song with Vox organ and backwards guitars, etc but it ended up sounding like The Doors produced by Lee Perry with a head injury so went for something completely out of keeping instead.

I am, however, hamstrung by an appalling singing voice so will probably need to make it instrumental.

mine will contain a sizeable sample/backing track - nobody tell the artists responsible.

Would you all be alright with postponing the deadline a week, to Thursday 7 Sept? If not I'll have to give up my song. I'm in the midst of a surprise house move. Won't make the 31st of August. But if you all don't want to postpone a week that's fine and then I'll just hand my slot over to someone else. Otherwise I'll ~bring teh tunes~ a week later. Let me know, whoever's in charge.

That would be me. I'd be fine with an exception but would prefer everyone else stick with the deadline.

Ok, then hereby I'll hand in/back my song.

Ha, you misread me -- I'm saying you're the exception!

I'm still on holyday but will be able to finish mine on time.
As for the cover I think there's a thread will Liam pictures worth using !

What, Beady Eye ?
