Deadline please, so I know I'll get it done.

i had suggested the release date of the actual u2 album, which is march 3 - is that too far away?
― congratulations (n/a), Saturday, 24 January 2009 13:58 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm doing RPM this February, so I'm looking to get this track wrapped up by the end of January. I wonder if any other people on this thread are in the same situation? But of course I can hold on until the beginning of March before I post a download link.
― snoball, Saturday, 24 January 2009 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah mine's done
― gr8080, Sunday, 25 January 2009 00:00 (fifteen years ago) link
can we just email them to n/a and then he can post when he has all of them?
ahah, great spoken words Ned !Maybe someone could make an instrumental track to play in the back as a closing/bonus track ?I have also finished my track.So the idea is to send them to n/a then ?concerning the title, "No ILX on the horizon" sounds good to me.Should we keep the same cover as u2's or "Ilx" it ?March 3 seems so far... (who will start the "No line on the horizon Vs No Ilx on the horizon" thread ?)
― AleXTC, Monday, 26 January 2009 11:25 (fifteen years ago) link
I think we definitely need an "ILX"ed version of the cover. Anyone here with the necessary skills?
― snoball, Monday, 26 January 2009 11:57 (fifteen years ago) link
By which I mean, I know there are people on ILX with the skills, can someone please some forward?
― snoball, Monday, 26 January 2009 11:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, we know there are great visual artists here... Album covers redrawn from memory in MS Paint
let's make this project an "Ilx art total extravaganza" !
― AleXTC, Monday, 26 January 2009 12:10 (fifteen years ago) link
lol excellent - although the U2 cover is so bland I can't even remember what it looks like!
― snoball, Monday, 26 January 2009 12:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Also, I've just noticed, March 3rd is the release date in North America. It's released on March 2nd in Europe and Feb 27th in Ireland, so maybe we should bring our official release date forward?
― snoball, Monday, 26 January 2009 12:43 (fifteen years ago) link
haw i guess i can collect the tunes; again my email address is naamme at gmail dot com. if your actual name is significantly different from your ILX name, please include your ILX name in the email so i know who i've gotten tunes from so far
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 26 January 2009 12:44 (fifteen years ago) link
i think the cover should remain the same, just with a "/=" instead of an "="

release it asap cuz you know this record's gonna leak pretty soon and you got to beat that shit to market.
― ambassador of france (jergins), Monday, 26 January 2009 17:36 (fifteen years ago) link
it'd be awesome if this got seeded to the p2p and torrent sites as the actual u2 album

tom i didn't get it, don't see it in spam either ... did you use naamme at gmail? i got snoball's tune though, good stuff.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 27 January 2009 12:56 (fifteen years ago) link
i think i will whip this up dis weequend i think it will be mad-dash 1-minute song

this is an excellent exercise; if by chance a bit of motivation hits, i hope to have something to link up- Ned, that was grander than grand...

Thanks!
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 January 2009 22:40 (fifteen years ago) link
right, so they are all taken?
Hmmm...
― Mark G, Thursday, 29 January 2009 22:09 (fifteen years ago) link
What happens if you run Ned's vocals upthread through MS Songsmith? It's be funny if the result sounded exactly like U2...
― snoball, Thursday, 29 January 2009 22:13 (fifteen years ago) link
Ned's spoken words definitely have to be the closing of the album with some background music or something (eheh, I've just imagined it with a funky synth track a la "thriller"'s vincent price's rap !)
― AleXTC, Friday, 30 January 2009 12:58 (fifteen years ago) link
mark you can have the one i signed up for, or you and ned can fight for it, i don't think im gnona have time :(
― roxymuzak, Friday, 30 January 2009 17:11 (fifteen years ago) link
can we get the ilx pitchforkers to build some internet frenzy over this?
― baaderonixx, Monday, 2 February 2009 11:19 (fifteen years ago) link
eheh, ilx global domination !

just saw this thread and thought I was too late to the party... but maybe not?
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I will do cedars of lebanon if roxy is dropping out
don't want to leave omar hanging out there
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:13 (fifteen years ago) link
just know that I will be singing the line "SINGLE STRING GUITAR SOLO" and there will be no guitars
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:14 (fifteen years ago) link
oh i got AleXTC's song the other day. so now i have his, tom's, and snoball's, i think. the music for mine has been done for a couple of weeks but i haven't figured out the lyrics
so far there's a surprising aural cohesion across the songs, the whole album has kind of a creepy synthpop thing going on
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link

ahah, can't wait for the release (or leaks) !so, shouldn't we start to build the hype ? (actually, I have a friend who might be able to pass the album to... u2 !)
― AleXTC, Monday, 9 February 2009 15:28 (fifteen years ago) link
o wait ned did cedars of lebanon? help me I'm confused at the internets
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:58 (fifteen years ago) link
yup, he did a brilliant spoken words take on it (we're still looking for someone to do the background music though).
― AleXTC, Monday, 9 February 2009 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link
n/a did you let the poem2song crew know about this??? great idea, btw
― i like to fart and i am crazy (gbx), Monday, 9 February 2009 16:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I can take a crack at background music if ned is into it
that yousendit link is expired though so I need a reup
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 9 February 2009 16:30 (fifteen years ago) link
ah, I don't have it at the office. If no one can send it to you in the meantime, I'll try to do it once I'm at home.

Worked on it some over the weekend and expect to finish this week. Somewhat annoyingly, I think I've written a song about U2.
― Chris Barrus (Elvis Telecom), Tuesday, 10 February 2009 01:10 (fifteen years ago) link
got it, ned, thanks
hey have you guys ever heard of this band called negativland? nah, didn't think so...

I won't listen to u2's album until I've listened to ours !So when are we releasing it, already ?
― AleXTC, Wednesday, 11 February 2009 10:52 (fifteen years ago) link
well since we only have three tracks at the moment it's kind of a moot point
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 11 February 2009 12:47 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah but that will set the deadline for the rest of the tracks !
