ILX Pre-Covers Morrissey's "World Peace Is None Of Your Business"

I'm sure it's a cheeky erotic double-entendre as well, it's Morrissey after all

I'm in for the title track!

I'll take Istanbul, and leave the big prize to others

If this doesn't shoehorn in a mention of Djimi Traore I'm going to be sorely disappointed Ismael.

The bar has been set with 'Anfield Rap', do you dare dream to match it?

Gah, it hadn't even occurred to me. I'd been planning a sensitive Back To The Old House number, now it's going to end up some sort of Harry's Cool piece of whimsy.

Okay, that leaves "Neal Cassady Drops Dead" to claim.

pretty sure pandemic would do Neil Ruddock Drops Dead

Don't think I could do anything interesting with that title, also running way behind on a couple of other projects I wanted to do, so I'm staying out of this one, but had I got in on time to bagsy "Staircase at the University", I'm sure you will all be happy to know I'd have taken the title excessively literally. Also I still think if you know the track times you should stick to them, it makes it more of a proper pre-cover.

Yeah wasn't the original idea to fool random googlers into downloading the thing with the same titles and track times?

I'm definitely maiking sure mine is 5:08

some dude came up with the time limit idea for the Lulu precover as a suggestion and it did pay some dividends in terms of confusing people. But that's the only time it's been a specific requirement -- if you want to aim for it this time, feel free!

Meantime as for "Neal Cassady" I am asking two previous contributors/collaborators right now to see if they're up for it. If they can't, I'd love to have a backup in place...

I'll do it.

Cool, thanks; I've let the others know so they don't feel pressured either way, and I'll get back later on that today. Thanks!

Deadline May 16th as mentioned, mp3/wav/aiff all welcome, go to town.

Now! Cover art. Post something here if you have it.

I plan to stick to the time too.

Yeah wasn't the original idea to fool random googlers into downloading the thing with the same titles and track times?

The track times idea didn't come in until Lulu, and I think that came about due to there being tracks with really long lengths and therefore it added more to the challenge.

I'm planning on sticking to the time too.

I'm not - 4:40 is forever

Just sing "ooh Istanbul" in falsetto for the last two minutes.

you're on

I assumed "Mountjoy" would be about the prison in Dublin but, now I come to think of it:

I was going to offer to do the title track, but decided not to because I don't have a good way to record vocals. Here's what I came up with, in any case. It would have matched the time perfectly if I had not cut out five seconds of the delay feeding back at the beginning. Dah well.

I dig the sound, chord-changes! Could of course use some Morrissey moaning over it...

A Week Ago?

Man did I go on holiday or wot?

Bawbags. I missed this one. AH well.

Trayce you're welcome to take my spot, I'm kinda getting cold feet.

crüt you can join in on my song if you want! (or not, no biggie)

yeah! I can do that. I just don't want a whole track to myself for this.

Up to you guys! I'm not even really a moz fan haha.

So wait which track is it? Neal Cassady?

(tempting to just do a cover of "On the Road Again" for lulz)

I've suddenly become aware that I have the lead track.

And that'll make it sing. Okay folks! Deadline is a week from Friday...

finished my track.. tried my hardest not to make the running time of 7:50 as boring as the real thing will likely be.

What's your maximum attachment size for email Ned? if a 10+meg file is too big i'll send it via WeTransfer..

So am I doing this or?

Um, yes! Go for it, please. :-)

As for max size re: Talcum Mucker's question...I'm not sure, it's a gmail account in essence so you should be fine.

So revised tracklist:

1 WORLD PEACE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS (4:21) -- Elvis Telecom
2 NEAL CASSADY DROPS DEAD (4:02) -- Trayce
3 ISTANBUL (4:40) -- Ismael Klata
4 I'M NOT A MAN (7:50) -- Gypsy Chips
5 EARTH IS THE LONELIEST PLANET (3:38) -- charlie h
6 STAIRCASE AT THE UNIVERSITY (5:30) -- snoball
7 THE BULLFIGHTER DIES (2:05) -- La Lechera
8 KISS ME A LOT (4:03) -- da croupier
9 SMILER WITH KNIFE (5:13) -- sarahell
10 KICK THE BRIDE DOWN THE AISLE (5:18) -- Turrican
11 MOUNTJOY (5:08) -- Tom D.
12 OBOE CONCERTO (4:07) -- AlXTC/Baaderonix

Okay got the first one in...

Sent - too big to be a Hotmail attachment, so the e-mail contains a SendSpace link.

Got it, thanks!

Ack,family issues last week mean ive been completely out of action for a week. I'll struggle to meet the deadline.

Four days remaining!

will have it in close to the deadline!

All good! Everyone else?

Also -- cover art, anyone?

I'll take a run at the cover art.

Crüt and I are still working on if, will hopefully be ready by deadline

Still working on mine, will definitely have it in for Friday.

I really dont know if I will :/ bf's bday party on friday so that leaves me with 3 days to start from scratch. Any chance of an extension? If not thats ok I'll try my best.

nevermind! we're done. sending asap.

And received! So to go over things:

Elvis T -- by tonight, I think
sarahell -- Sunday
Trayce and Ismael -- Monday

I'll prep things up on Tuesday and then we should be good to go on Wednesday. Thanks again everyone!

REMIX! Sending mine in tomorrow (Saturday)

All good!

sent!

Got it! Okay Elvis, Trayce and Ismael, it's all you...

Sent! Oh, the things a deadline'll do for ye.

Its short, and needs a better mixing but hey.

Got it, thanks, and Ismael's too; just waiting on Elvis T.

If this is gonna be held up even another day or 2 as a result let me know, I'd like to tweak my track (that was done in 2 hours!)

If you want to send an upgraded version later today, feel free.

Looking forward to this!

FUCK hold on folks!

you can do it

i'm looking forward to this too
is it going to be released on morrissey's birthday? (i think that's thursday?)

OK we seem to still be waiting on ET so I might tweak me track and re-send it Ned, will be in the next few hours. If I miss the cutoff thats ok but INCOMING anyway

Got it and we're good -- still waiting on Elvis!

left the building joke in 1.. 2..

Done! Ned alerted!

I need vocal lessons like yesterday.

And yes, got it. Thanks!

I will work on this tonight but likely this will be going up on Thursday instead, which, as noted above, is Moz's 54th birthday.

55th

Why even better.

Ha! Nice.

Pity it wasnt his 51st hehe.

Okay, everything just about in place and ready to go for tomorrow morning!

Oh and as usual I will start up a separate thread when ready.

(And yes, before you ask, it's amazing as always.)

Full thread up, go nuts!
