let's release the U2 album before U2 releases the U2 album

right, so they are all taken?

Hmmm...

What happens if you run Ned's vocals upthread through MS Songsmith? It's be funny if the result sounded exactly like U2...

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 :(

can we get the ilx pitchforkers to build some internet frenzy over this?

eheh, ilx global domination !

havin' this weird vision of fez - being born chorus w/ chuck D voice saying 'fezzzzzzz' like he says 'BASSSSS' on 'bring the noise' and then 'bein born, bein born' sung 'stayin alive' style

sorry don't let me cloud your vision with my visions

No worries, me neither.

just saw this thread and thought I was too late to the party... but maybe not?

I will do cedars of lebanon if roxy is dropping out

don't want to leave omar hanging out there

just know that I will be singing the line "SINGLE STRING GUITAR SOLO" and there will be no guitars

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

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 !)

o wait ned did cedars of lebanon? help me I'm confused at the internets

yup, he did a brilliant spoken words take on it (we're still looking for someone to do the background music though).

n/a did you let the poem2song crew know about this??? great idea, btw

I can take a crack at background music if ned is into it

that yousendit link is expired though so I need a reup

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.

Go for it -- here's a new upload link:

this is like my *~~dream~~*, i feel like desmond child

hotly anticipating this

Worked on it some over the weekend and expect to finish this week. Somewhat annoyingly, I think I've written a song about U2.

got it, ned, thanks

hey have you guys ever heard of this band called negativland? nah, didn't think so...

Preview tracks of 'the real thing' are coming out:

Hop to!

I won't listen to u2's album until I've listened to ours !
So when are we releasing it, already ?

well since we only have three tracks at the moment it's kind of a moot point

yeah but that will set the deadline for the rest of the tracks !

leak already!

01 No Line on the Horizon - Curt1s
02 Magnificent - m bison
03 Moment of Surrender - gr8080
04 Unknown Caller - 6335

09 White as Snow - Elvis Telecom
10 Breathe - nabisco

mine is done so the *** are the ones that are done and i have in my email. i don't know what's going with ned's vocals, is someone adding music?

any ideas for to how present these, where to upload them etc? i hate organizing stuff

Mixing again tonight.

i don't know what's going with ned's vocals, is someone adding music?

I think Edward III is.

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 ?

I might be screwed on this due to houseguests, but I have something written and can hopefully throw it together before they arrive

u2 album has leaked btw :/

lol

we can at least confuse ppl anyway

get on it
