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.

it'd be awesome if this got seeded to the p2p and torrent sites as the actual u2 album

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...

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 !)

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 :(

I will do cedars of lebanon if roxy is dropping out

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.

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 !
― AleXTC, Wednesday, 11 February 2009 13:04 (fifteen years ago) link

I think Edward III is.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 14:56 (fifteen years ago) link
so for the release, will someone work on the cover or do we leave that out ? n/a, if you don't know/want to deal with the upload/leaking of the album and if no one here wants to, I'll ask a friend.It would be good if we could release this before the end of Feb : would everybody be ok with that ?
― AleXTC, Tuesday, 17 February 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link
I might be screwed on this due to houseguests, but I have something written and can hopefully throw it together before they arrive
