ILX Comp: Volume 2 (Do not hate us if you listen)

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

There will be a 2nd comp this year, start recording songs. Deadline will be end of July probably.

As for the details, I'm not sure yet, I'd like to put it all together.

The duplication and the distribution are the major cost areas, so, anyone who wants to volunteer to take on this bit or organise a payment scheme should feel free to state their intention here or by email.

So do you want to contribute? What sorta direction should it take?

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 31 January 2003 18:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm working on noise stuff. Guitar / Bass / Computer w/ joystick + keyboard + primitive electronics / Drums

― Jonathan Williams (ex machina), Friday, 31 January 2003 18:32 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to be on this one this time around. Not sure what piece yet.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 31 January 2003 18:34 (twenty-three years ago)

i have a song for this.

― chaki (chaki), Friday, 31 January 2003 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

count me in

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 31 January 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Are covers allowed?

― Mark C (Mark C), Friday, 31 January 2003 19:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Can I be on it? Pretty please? Do we have to make a track especially for the comp or can it be an olde one? How does it work?

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 31 January 2003 19:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Perhaps we could have two - one covers album and one of originals? Someone want to volunteer for the covers album? Hello?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 31 January 2003 19:45 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah. I'd love to put a song in.
So are these songs done completely solo or can they be songs you do in your band or what? (haven't heard the first one yet)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 31 January 2003 19:46 (twenty-three years ago)

age of track = doesn't really matter

being part of band = cool

length of track = not more than 8 minutes.

a covers album in addition to the 2nd comp would be cool.

(I'll be sending out quite a few copies of the 1st comp this coming week)

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 31 January 2003 19:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Can I bust out a freestyle rap over some dope beats to contribute? I'm being totally serious.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:01 (twenty-three years ago)

the first comp was compiled on the principle of:

you send a track and it goes on.

so, yes Chris.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll contribute something!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm in too.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

eh I'll do something

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:24 (twenty-three years ago)

down with your "original/not-original" segregation RAAAR!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:27 (twenty-three years ago)

dude, I'm terrified of the copyright police :)

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 31 January 2003 20:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll coordinate collecting the mp3 submissions again, Jel!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 31 January 2003 21:04 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, i am in. i need more deadlines.

― kephm, Friday, 31 January 2003 21:28 (twenty-three years ago)

I am SO in.

― Douglas (Douglas), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:15 (twenty-three years ago)

How will you deal with it if too many contributions come in? The first 75 minutes' worth? Or preference to regulars? Or pick the ones you like best?

My vote, if it arises, is priority to regulars. It's a comp of ILX posters after all, so even if they barely make the deadline and aren't much good (hard as that is to imagine), I think songs from Ned, Mark S, Nick D, Tom E and the like should take precedence.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:16 (twenty-three years ago)

PARTICULARLY a collaboration between Ned, Mark S, Nick D, Tom E and the like.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, if there are too many, I'm sure some of us from the last comp will happily pass on hogging more of another one.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:21 (twenty-three years ago)

martin, last time it took 6-8 months to fill, but I think you have a point that this time it could be more popular. So, it'd probably work on a first come first serve basis, or making the deadline tighter.

Oh, and thanks Ned!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm in. Assuming I can afford all the necessary equipment between now and July. (monitors, multitrack, new computer). Shouldn't be a problem! a huh huh huh.

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:23 (twenty-three years ago)

YES!!! At seven and a half minutes, Headcleaner just about makes it.

― kate, Friday, 31 January 2003 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

(oh and thanks sean as well!)

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:28 (twenty-three years ago)

it must be called AN INFLUX OF ILXORS, and we should send copies to NME and UNCUT to review.

― Justyn Dillingham (Justyn Dillingham), Friday, 31 January 2003 22:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I think songs from Ned

Meant in the kindest and friendliest way: you are completely and totally out of your mind. I can do a cover of "4' 33"" that's good, though. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 February 2003 00:06 (twenty-three years ago)

a) can you contribute something to the comp and the covers album both?
2) i will volunteer to distribute to new zealand!
c) yay!

― di smith (lucylurex), Saturday, 1 February 2003 00:23 (twenty-three years ago)

How do we submit mp3s to you Ned?

― A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 1 February 2003 00:37 (twenty-three years ago)

i hav several ones dat i cd 2 giv i wil giv 1 if it r accepted.

― naked as sin (naked as sin), Saturday, 1 February 2003 00:49 (twenty-three years ago)

How do we submit mp3s to you Ned?

Easy, just e-mail 'em. I have a highspeed connection so it's fine, but the best thing to do is send them over the weekend -- my home computer is almost always on then and will suck it up quickly so that way it doesn't linger in my account and cause potential problems.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 February 2003 02:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I've got this song going around in my head....

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo (cindigo), Saturday, 1 February 2003 03:02 (twenty-three years ago)

i will definitely appear on this one

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Saturday, 1 February 2003 04:11 (twenty-three years ago)

As for distrubtion, costs:

why not make a tree? A few people are roots who will copy to a few more branches, each of those branches make copies. etc.

this spreads the cost and labor out.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 1 February 2003 04:20 (twenty-three years ago)

i wanna do a colaboration. i dont think anyone who heard my song would be up for it, but fux0r it

― Chupa-Cabras (vicc13), Sunday, 2 February 2003 00:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm in.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 2 February 2003 22:46 (twenty-three years ago)

Count me in(again0 too, please!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Sunday, 2 February 2003 22:58 (twenty-three years ago)

(Still not sure what happened last time. The track must have got compressed at some point in the MP3-CD processed. Oh well.)

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Sunday, 2 February 2003 23:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i'm up for it

― s.r.w. (s.r.w.), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I'll do it again (can't decide if I should pick another one of my Rebirth creations or submit Joei singing).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 February 2003 16:57 (twenty-three years ago)

People will hate me for suggesting this, but maybe if we make a more extreme time limit, ie under 3 minutes, then more people can get songs on there.

I would like to be on, but since I am not overrated or underrated, I pheer I will be knocked off by Millar crooning "My Heart Will Go On" into a genuine Edison-era phonograph.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Monday, 3 February 2003 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

the 3 minute idea is alright by me

― s.r.w. (s.r.w.), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 16:58 (twenty-three years ago)

It would make it pretty hard for me to participate. I think I've only ever done one thing under 3 min and it's from years ago.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Well Sundar GET TO IT!

"she's got a ticket to ri-iii..."

― starry (Groke), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:27 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not sure about a 3 min time limit. I would probably leave it as it is, and hope that some people record short little songs to even things out! :) (I mean I will probably make a 2 minute song, coz I get bored when recording)

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:28 (twenty-three years ago)

(and like, if I haven't recorded at least 3 songs in an hour, I feel like I've been very unproductive, perhaps I should put more time into the process)

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:35 (twenty-three years ago)

you could make it a five disc set.

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 4 February 2003 18:38 (twenty-three years ago)

hey, nichole, I sent you an email about it last week! Please email your address!

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 6 February 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I did a bunch of songs with Sean a few years ago. Maybe I should submit one of them as they're really great with Sean singing falsetto!
If you can find "Death March of the Smurfs", go ahead and submit it. It was my crowning achievement.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Jel, do you accept cassettes?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I believe he's got a tape drive in his left armpit.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep, it's true, you'll have to post it to me first though! Email me and I'll send you an address to send it to.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

After that, he will then indeed put it into the tape drive in his left armpit.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

It's almost like a Phillip K Dick story, maybe if I take the tape out reality will come to a shuddering halt.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

It's like jel a la Teddy Ruxpin. When he plays a cassette, his mouth and eyes move, and little kids are fooled into believing that he's telling a story.

― martin m. (mushrush), Friday, 6 February 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

can i just post my mp3 here?

― Chris V (Chris V), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Shore.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned check yr email. And kill yr idols too. Always good.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Noted, noted.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 February 2004 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this still the same comp I sent you an MP3 for alreday Ned? I'm confused!

― mei (mei), Saturday, 7 February 2004 08:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm... how come I never noticed this. Can I do a track for you, Ned? Should be ready by the deadline...

― Rob M (Rob M), Saturday, 7 February 2004 10:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Mei, yeah it's the same comp, things have been progressing a bit slowly, but ya know genius can't be rushed :)

Rob M, yes, send a track to Ned on MP3, or to me if it's on tape or CD. Thanks!

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 7 February 2004 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It'll be on CD, I'll mail you for your address. Cheers. Might give me the incentive to actually complete a recording rather than fiddle for ages.

― Rob M (Rob M), Saturday, 7 February 2004 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this still the same comp I sent you an MP3 for alreday Ned? I'm confused!

Yes it is, thanks!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 February 2004 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah and I are currently trying to relearn the song we submitted for this ages ago so that we can play it at this open mic thing. The problem is that on the recording, it has 2 drum parts, bass, 2 guitar parts, and a keyboard part, and we're trying to play it with a drum machine, a bass, and a guitar.

― NA (Nick A.), Saturday, 7 February 2004 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I can host mp3s on my webspace if necessary.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 7 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, I've got it -- Teeny does something like on the Queens of the Stone Age album and makes DJ announcements between the songs. (It's either that or bad hip-hop album skits and do you really want that?)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 February 2004 16:07 (twenty-two years ago)

YES!

"Aw shit, man, they shot Hanley. Shit. Fuck. Aw, fuck, man, don't die on me, man..."

― NA (Nick A.), Saturday, 7 February 2004 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Or we could just recreate all the sketches from 3 Feet High and Rising.

― NA (Nick A.), Saturday, 7 February 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha! I do like that idea.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 February 2004 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i sent ned an mp3 for this like ages ago!

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Saturday, 7 February 2004 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm working on something. slowly.

I've got it! I'm just patiently waiting.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 7 February 2004 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

hey, nichole, I sent you an email about it last week! Please email your address!

Just did....hopefully UK post won't play "sticky fingers", along the way.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Saturday, 7 February 2004 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

(Jel, sent it to the buglebear addy I've already got. If you don't get the email this time, I'd recommend commando measures against the ISP with a Molotov cocktail.)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Saturday, 7 February 2004 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

Bump.

― mei (mei), Friday, 12 March 2004 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay! I'll contribute something to this, this time.

― Andrew (enneff), Saturday, 13 March 2004 05:33 (twenty-two years ago)

How many have there been?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 13 March 2004 05:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I know! I can put contribute one of my sub-Leonard Cohen songs to the cause . .. it'll fill up space on the CD if nowt else.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Saturday, 13 March 2004 09:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll send a track - where to?

and how can I get a copy of volume one?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Saturday, 13 March 2004 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Direct uncompressed CDR files or the like -- send to Jel via physical mail

mp3s -- I handle those, contact me privately to make arrangements (please do NOT send me mp3s directly without checking with me first!).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 13 March 2004 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

Is this still happening? Can I send something? Deadline? Schedule?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Sunday, 18 April 2004 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still sitting on the mp3s! If you have that, send it along.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 18 April 2004 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I wanted to put something solo on here, but that's not going to happen any time soon. I'll maybe send a Canasta song, then.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 18 April 2004 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a track on a CD, not an MP3. Should I send it to Jel?

― Dr. C (Dr. C), Monday, 19 April 2004 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

i'll probably send something. i have some tunes of mine converted to mp3.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 19 April 2004 07:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Hokay, shall sort out one this week or so...

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 19 April 2004 07:35 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, you can post it to me, did I say when the deadline is? I think it's the end of may.

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 19 April 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

should send my mp3's to you or ned?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 19 April 2004 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

To me, please. I did get your e-mail, latebloomer, I just hadn't had the chance to respond! Please don't send anything until evening Pacific Time, though, large attachments clog up my mailbox and I can't do any automatic downloading of anything until I'm home from work each day. Thanks!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 April 2004 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

No problem!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 19 April 2004 18:14 (twenty-two years ago)

What's actually happening with this? I probably have something to contribute.

― ...in bed. (Chris Piuma), Monday, 19 April 2004 21:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Jel is the prime mover and shaker as always.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 19 April 2004 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't sell yourself short, Ned!
