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

hum. it's a bit to far to be fun.
aren't there other big releases coming ?

Big list here:
http://www.metacritic.com/music/upcomingreleases.shtml

The only one that sort-of catches my eye that is going to be released soon is Goldfrapp (release scheduled for 23rd March). But there's no track listing yet. And they're not really in the same league as Bono in the "desperately needing a kick in the pants" department. But if people still want to have at U2, then "Songs of Ascent" is due for mid 2010 release. Recorded at the same time as "No Line..." just the title says that it's going to be full of ripe Bono-isms.

aah, too bad white stripes is only a live... interpol maybe ?
there will certainly be great titles to work with !

interpol would be fun, everyone should just do their best ian crutis impression over a variety of backing tracks (ian crutis does super fruity swag rap; ian crutis reads poetry over steve reich's "clapping music"; ian crutis does broadway!)

ahah. sounds good ! but that would make it just a comedy project, wouldn't it ? (which somehow we managed to avoid with "no ilx").
I've just looked at their titles... there's some gold to expect !

2 votes in favor of interpolling this bitch

Poll a shortlist of Interpol, Goldfrapp, and U2?

Goldfrapp and Interpol are both waaaaaaaay to small-time to qualify for this, aren't they?

we should have done this with stadium arcadium, and dan should have done 'hump de bump'

lol

we should do something like Missy Elliott's Block Party IMO

* "Act a Fool" (produced by Soul Diggaz)[5]
* "All 4 U" (featuring Lil Wayne)[6]
* "Best, Best" (produced by Danjahandz)[5]
* "Fire" (featuring T-Pain, produced by T-Pain)[5]
* "Hip-Hop Don't Die" (produced by T. Gooch)[5]
* "Like When You Play the Music" (featuring Jazmine Sullivan, produced by Timbaland)[5]
* "Let's Do It Again" (featuring Amy Winehouse, produced by Timbaland)
* "Love" (produced by Timbaland)[5]
* "Milk & Cookies" (featuring Melanie B., produced by Joshua "Pointguard" Moore)[5]
* "Put It on Ya" (featuring Teyana Taylor & Pharrell, produced by The Neptunes)
* "Shake Your Pom Pom" (produced by Timbaland)[5]
* "Talk That Shit" (featuring T-Pain & Timbaland produced by Timbaland)[5]

definitely not goldfrapp

are there any big hip hop albums coming out this year?

There'll be a sudden Radiohead one, I reckons.

i would say interpol is big enough but only for the fact that many h-words will be looking 4 leakz and we can give them hi quality counterfeit goods

Interpol!

interpol is ok but it's only going to have like 10-12 tracks, right? whereas a hip hop album would have INSPIRATIONAL song titles and like twice as many tracks

^^^ we really need something with more than a dozen tracks so that more people can get involved.

lets do both then

If you want an album with a bazillion tracks, Busta Rhymes is releasing an album next year...

ilx double album bone-anza

ahah. interpoilx Vs Missy Ellilx : FITE !

i would also enjoy - Jamie Foxx 'Body'

Does anyone have links to tracklists for "Body" and Interpol?

yeah, jamie foxx has potential for great titles...
that said, the idea of having two ilx teams "competing" is kinda fun...

can we call it "Sharks vs Jets"?

creeps vs bloods ?

"(Jump The) Sharks vs (Struck By) Jets"

depending on the tracklists, of course, but interpol vs jamie foxx seems like good fun !

it shd be a double album called "there are no atheists in a FOXXPOL"

wow, a whole album of this would have been like a dream for us !

http://pitchfork.com/news/37984-interpol-to-tour-with-u2

that seals the deal for an ilx treatment of the coming interpol, right ?

n/a may have had some fun at my expense yesterday, but coincidentally, what's just turned out to be his No Line On The Horizon track came on my iPod Shuffle recently and I'd forgotten what it was...thought I maybe had some A+ rad Brian Eno thing, and was completely taken with it...so, dude, in the spirit of reconciliation, you made some good music

thanks brah

my track for the Wire comp is kind of in the same style, though I don't think I'm quite as excited about it :/

I was just joshing you yesterday

yeah I know - and even if you weren't it was pretty damn funny - am gonna have to release a song by that name at some point

thing is when listening to it I was all 'wha...who uses the horn presets on keyboards' at first, then I was 'hang on, but this is pretty hypnotic', then I was 'hey the fact that someone has used the horn preset and then offset it with groovy syncopated bass is awesome' and finally by the synth solo I was convinced someone had hit on something really valuable

so yeah, if the Wire track manages a build-up half as epic as this it'll have been worth it tbh

n/a your Lowdown cover is so fucking good

hey thanks! I was pretty happy with the music; it's a little more "boring" (ie longer and fewer parts) than the songs I normally do but I feel like it's kind of a grower. I'm still not crazy about the vocals; I did the singing first and it didn't sound how I wanted it (my voice isn't low or weighty enough) so then I tried the robot vocals but it seemed kind of cheap so then I "compromised" and left both in when I probably should have just committed to one or the other.

I've probably linked this somewhere before but all the home recording stuff I do is at http://scarequotes.net.

it shd be a double album called "there are no atheists in a FOXXPOL"

Glastonbury had been attempting to book U2 for many years and their appearance was expected to be a highlight of the event's 40th anniversary.
The band said they had written a new song for the occasion.
"I'm heartbroken," he said. "We really wanted to be there to do something really special."

ILX: let's all write a song about U2 playing/not playing at Glastonbury?

ILX: let's be the last minute stand-in for U2!

written a new song

"Fields of Gold Excrement" by Sting Paul Hewson

"Holy Shit, We Are At Glastonbury" by U2

"Scrape Off Your Boots"

"No Line On for toilet paper extends to The Horizon"

"Ciders of Lebanon"

so is this on the internet anywhere? i was lookin' and whatnot.
