ILX Compilation v6: FREESTYLER - rock your microphone

I just made demos on a four-track in the 90s with my guitar, a second hand drum machine and a mate's bass if I could borrow it. They weren't really for anything, there wasn't ever going to be a group or a live performance or anything. That track is a reworking of something from about 1994, done in about 2000 or 2001 when I was in Italy (so without access to a bass). I think the master cassette was getting very near the end when I recorded it, which has made it sound a bit wobbly, but it's just about get-away-able-with.

that's awesome! i liked the song a lot too.

I haven't done anything since 2001/02. I bought a Focusrite interface thing* a while back which came with Ableton Live Lite, with the intention of trying to start recording things again. I even bought a keyboard with drum pad things on. But there never seems to be enough time to learn how anything works or how to play it.

*clearly I know nothing about the technicalities

ffs trayce i thought yours was an original composition :P

it's a good cover tbf

ill mk a tite joint, with improvised lyrics..

I've decided I like Ken C's the most, because of the amusingly daft lyrics

control-z control-z control-z control-z

Hahah thanks LJ :)

Cheers NBS! :)

Jesus, two years since this. Anybody feel like doing it again?

Volume Seven?

I think the morrissey pre-cover was the last one, oh wait it was the New Order one..

Anyway, it does feel like its time for Vol 7, doesn't it?

FAWM is right around the corner

and the new garageband is here

would be up for this, we have a nice selection of instruments to crank out

my contribution to this one banged so hard if i may pull a deems here

mine was gentle but insidious.

After a decade and a half of inactivity, I've made four new tunes over the last year so I can stick something on V7 should it ever happen

Numbers are growing.

I'll give it a go

If you make a new thread, they will come.

Or not.

Making a new thread might confer stewardship and I am but a song and dance man.

I thought that's what dl was sayin'

Oh, right, I see, maybe he has more of the entrepreneurial spirit than me.

― sounding like a silly Iain Banks on a truck (imago)

You may not.

is there going to be a theme or anything? I was feeling vaguely inspired by pplains' misdirected email post the other day.

I'm up for one of these, even tho I no longer have my lovely studio mic. Its been a year or 2 since I did any tunes :(

They're doing an ILX pre-cover now, the Pet Shop Boys "Whoopee" or whatever it's called.

Super. No that's what the album is called.

ILX Pre-Covers Pet Shop Boys' "Super"

Sabertooth Dream is playing a show next month.

They're doing an ILX pre-cover now, the Pet Shop Boys "Whoopee" or whatever it's called.

Oh well, that's the end of that then. See you all in another two years.

It's a date
