Excelsior the album

Just a bit of fun, so lets be cool.

I put together a number of threads and made a product out of it

http://accordion-store.com/kensmith/images/excelsior.jpg

Its not meant to be a profit making exercise, just a 'nice to have' if you want one.

Basically, its me singing the posts from the ""And" six times in a row", "Who would win a fight between a horse and a money?", "The Locking of the Avril Thread", "Thom Yorke and Mike Skinner to collaborate on charity record?" and "what to do when your roommate doesn't realize you're home and thusly is having loud sex in the living room" threads, over me playing "Ooh er just a little bit" on the Accordion.

It's £318, which is pretty much base price for a second hand 4-track tape recorder and a brand new accordion.

Unless anyone violently objects, its here if anyone wants one. It's not meant to be a 'Justin Hawkins' scale, I dunno.

is this where i say "fuck off and die"?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:24 (nineteen years ago) link

How could anyone object to anything that man does?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:26 (nineteen years ago) link

or say "fuck off" and die.

what about a cover of Ned's Pi record?

― jellybean (jellybean), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:26 (nineteen years ago) link

omg! that'd be amazing! i hope ned will give me permission.

― ken smith (ken c), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I think if we all sign this contract we can be rest assured this won't cause legal woes

this money laundry firm appears to be run by Kate! (look at the address!)

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:33 (nineteen years ago) link

the smoking gun!

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Why does the laundry need units 2,3,4 and 5 of the Masonic Building? That's a lot of laundering.

― Momus (Momus), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:37 (nineteen years ago) link

money laundering?

I always knew those masons were up to something :)

― E.S.P (ipsofacto), Thursday, 24 June 2004 00:59 (nineteen years ago) link

there has been a masonic boom in the money laundry industry.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 24 June 2004 01:00 (nineteen years ago) link

I too will be making an ILX album consisting of my most talented self, singing all your favourites!

I will charge $10,000 for it though because I am supremely talented and you are all shit industry shills.

― Marissa Marchant (trayce), Thursday, 24 June 2004 01:02 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah but you don't have an accordion like me, sucks to be you!

― ken smith (ken c), Thursday, 24 June 2004 01:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Strangely enough, I have heard from a reputable source (a financial anti-fraud rep) that a chain of early laundromats was actually a real organized crime front. It still seems very convenient though.

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 24 June 2004 01:05 (nineteen years ago) link

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Hm...Ken C as Robert Del Naja or Gear as some giant-chinned personage?

I think this one's a lock. But that "i will buy you roses" is making me sad.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I already have a date with this really cute 40-year-old semi-has-been trip-hop dude from Bristol. Plus I don't like your eyebrows.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:47 (nineteen years ago) link

I can accept that, just as long as it's not Robert Del Naja.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:49 (nineteen years ago) link

Let's double-date then, how's that?

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:49 (nineteen years ago) link

And by double-date I, of course, mean that I will have two dates.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:50 (nineteen years ago) link

Only if I get the first dance.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:54 (nineteen years ago) link

with that trip hop guy I mean

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:54 (nineteen years ago) link

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:57 (nineteen years ago) link

mandee and I have already ordered the only two copies, of this.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 24 June 2004 02:58 (nineteen years ago) link

that's right. it's going to be a future artifact for humans after the peak oil crisis and there is NO internet.

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:07 (nineteen years ago) link

I dig Gear!'s chin. I could flip pancakes with it.

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:14 (nineteen years ago) link

roxy, you are stealing my idea!!!

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:22 (nineteen years ago) link

haha, all apologies!

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, I do need a new prom date anyway.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:35 (nineteen years ago) link

How about me, madame?

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:41 (nineteen years ago) link

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Won't be the first time I've been to prom with a girl:

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Notice the pricetag still on my GOWN.

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 03:48 (nineteen years ago) link

― Lee Perry, Thursday, 24 June 2004 04:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Lee Scratch Perry will you go to the prom with me?

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 06:11 (nineteen years ago) link

!!! You went to the prom with Molly Ringwald!!!

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 24 June 2004 06:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Mandee Wright looks vaguely like Mandy Moore in that photo for some reason!

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 24 June 2004 06:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Trayce, someone tells her she looks like Molly Ringwald at least once a day.

Also, Mandy Moore? That's crazy talk.

― Homosexual II, Thursday, 24 June 2004 12:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I'd still like to make the ILX comp volume 2, but interest has been patchy this time around. Probably my fault for not putting enough effort into it.

Sarah and I sent in our song like a year ago. :(

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:19 (nineteen years ago) link

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 24 June 2004 15:24 (nineteen years ago) link

jel I forget if you accept cassette tapes. if you do, e-mail me your address and I'll send you something for the CD (if the deadline hasn't past)!

In his defense, he didn't say which September.

― mayahee, mayahoo, mayaha, mayahaha (deangulberry), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 01:43 (nineteen years ago) link

how long does it take to get a CD made?

― Stevem On X (blueski), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 02:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, he had to find studio musicians who could re-record all of the music. Then, he had to wait until James Earl Jones was available to read Pi.

― mayahee, mayahoo, mayaha, mayahaha (deangulberry), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 02:17 (nineteen years ago) link

"Three!"
"Point One Four"

"One Five" ...

― James Earl Jones (mark grout), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 15:52 (nineteen years ago) link

"how long does it take to get a CD made?"

If you're me, a long time.

Anyway, I'll get it done. So, please exnae on the snarky.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Fair enough.

― mark grout (mark grout), Sunday, 30 January 2005 11:52 (nineteen years ago) link
