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

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 !

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.

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.
