― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:07 (twenty years ago)

Awwwww yeah. I'm in.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:10 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to play this time, I think.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:12 (twenty years ago)

Are we back? Oh nice!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

May I?

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

AND YOU ARE?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

If enough people want to revive it then I'm back in.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

AND YOU ARE?

-- Ned Raggett (ne...), August 16th, 2005. (later)

*runs crying out of room*

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:31 (twenty years ago)

yeah!

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

I figure we're back whenever we wanna be back. So, it looks like we're back.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

I wanna play this time!

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

But seriously, I'd love to contribute, if y'all will let the new kid play.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:37 (twenty years ago)

The only barrier I can see to adding new folks is getting them permission to post at the blog. Wasn't it Jody who actually set all that up and has admin powers there etc.?

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:48 (twenty years ago)

i'm interested in this.

― Ian John50n (orion), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:50 (twenty years ago)

me too, I was on the list for the last one.

― haitch has some respect for artists (haitch), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

Oh God yes, count me back in.

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 14:41 (twenty years ago)

I want in too!

― Candicissima (candicissima), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 14:48 (twenty years ago)

I would like to be back in as well.

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:33 (twenty years ago)

i'll participate, but it would be cool if someone else would run it this time.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:52 (twenty years ago)

also, it'd be great if we could use the blogspot address again, to keep everything in one place.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

i'll participate again as well.

― tricky (disco stu), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 15:59 (twenty years ago)

i do have a few suggestions for whoever takes over:

pacing is everything -- if the project goes on for too long, all the steam will go out of it, it won't be fun anymore, etc. try to keep things going on a fairly rapid schedule. also, realize that several of the people who sign up won't be able to go, for various reasons (hey, real life can get in the way of things), so don't push too hard to get people to post, just move on to the next willing participant.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:05 (twenty years ago)

I'm happy to play another round. Nominations for a theme, anybody? I'll offer "Around the World in 80 Minutes" as a starter.

― Shockah Shockah Hey!!! (noodle vague), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to play.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 16:38 (twenty years ago)

I guess I'll volunteer to run the thing, since I suggested the revival. Jody, can you add me to the blog admin list?

(with permission of the room, natch)

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 18:53 (twenty years ago)

I think I might join in the fun.

― Ian Riese-Moraine: a casualty of social estrangement. (Eastern Mantra), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

austin, welcome to admin-hood!

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

yay! looking forward to more ilmixes.

― gspm (gspm), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Okay, so far those expressing interest are (And forgive me if I get some names wrong - all this variable sigs and emails stuff sometimes confuses me):

Me
MCD
Tom
Tantrum
Ned
Mind in Rewind
Alex
Dan Perry
Ian Johns0n
Haitch
Mike t-diva
Candicissima
Jordan
Jody
Tricky
Noodle
Walter Krantz
Ian Reese-Moraine
(xpost) and Sean

That's 18 19, so a good start on a first disc, and maybe well into a second depending on how long tracks posted are.

So far the only theme mentioned is "Around the World in 80 minutes" which sounds promising to me.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 19:44 (twenty years ago)

I dig that theme.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 19:50 (twenty years ago)

Great theme: ta for that, Mr. Noodle.

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 08:08 (twenty years ago)

I'd like to join too, if it's possible.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 08:18 (twenty years ago)

add me please.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 11:38 (twenty years ago)

can someone explain the rules? or is it like mornington crescent?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

Charlie:

I don't know what mornington crescent is, but this is how we ILMix. Once we decide on a theme (and I think we're about there) we'll decide on an order in which to play, then start creating a playlist one at a time by posting mp3s of our selected songs on the blog. If you don't have webspace for this, there are a couple of work-arounds. One of them is getting someone to loan you webspace, the other is using a shared gmail account. Most folks not only post a song selection to the blog, but also include some 'liner notes' as well. Each person builds off what has come before, just like in any old dj situation you want to create some flavor of continuity to build a whole that is greater than it's parts, so it's best not to get hung up on wanting to post a particular track until your turn comes up - it might be chosen by someone else before then, or just not work with the intro you're given. Anyway, the process is repeated until we near the 80 minute mark, and then themes change (or not) and we begin a new CDs worth of ILMixing.

This idea is a variation on a game a group of my friends would play in the early 90s where we'd pass a blank cassette around between us adding a song each until it filled up.

Current roster:

Me
MCD
Tom
Tantrum
Ned
Mind in Rewind
Alex
Dan Perry
Ian Johns0n
Haitch
Mike t-diva
Candicissima
Jordan
Jody
Tricky
Noodle
Walter Krantz
Ian Reese-Moraine
Sean
Tuomas
Colin
Charlie (I think)

I think we should hold it here, and see how far this takes us.

Could anyone here who hasn't posted to the ilmixor blog already let me know? I'll send out invites tonight, so we should be able to get started tomorrow.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:38 (twenty years ago)

here are the relevant older threads in case anyone is curious:

Collaborative mix-disc. A sorta new concept (This is the ILMiXor thread!)
ILMiXor Disc 2: Pop Top 40 From Another World
ILMiXor Disc 3: I've Got a Secret
ILMiXor Disc 4: Maximalism
ILMiXor Cover Art Thread

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 12:40 (twenty years ago)

Count me in.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 13:13 (twenty years ago)

So what I was thinking was: Phineas Fogg started his trip in London and worked his way Eastwards round the globe. Each track should be in some way to the "East" of the track that proceeded it, but that doesn't necessarily mean in terms of its origin - titles, puns and tenuous links will, as ever, help to keep things moving. And we see if we can get back to London at the end of the CD. Okay?

― I Ain't No Addict, Whoever Heard of a Junkie as Old as Me? (noodle vague), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 16:23 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm. I was just thinking that once a location has been established in song by one selection, it would be off limits to anyone coming later. Your idea is a lot more...rigorous.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 16:33 (twenty years ago)

Well whatever everybody's happy with, obv. It's not like me to be rigorous, I must need an early night.

― I Ain't No Addict, Whoever Heard of a Junkie as Old as Me? (noodle vague), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 16:44 (twenty years ago)

I like the idea of a constant Eastward movement as long as people don't get overeager and jump too far.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:24 (twenty years ago)

Oh man, I'm going to have a hard enough time picking a tune that fits musically without having to worry about geography.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

That's part of the challenge.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

I'm back in as well (if it makes it to disc 2)

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:01 (twenty years ago)

So is your mom, Ned, so is your mom.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

A few more Dragonlance recipes and you'll be fine.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:02 (twenty years ago)

(seriously, whatever people want to do, I don't mean to stand in the way of rigor)

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:03 (twenty years ago)

i like the london-going-east theme too. it's not like you couldn't zig-zag north and south a bit.

― tricky (disco stu), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

AW SNAP

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

SPICY FRIED POTATOES!
Every time we actually tried to play a Dragonlance module, it would devolve into arguments as to where the best fried potatoes could be found should Otik not be available.

-- Ned Raggett (ne...), August 9th, 2004.

You know I love you, Ned.

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 17 August 2005 18:16 (twenty years ago)

i think it's me to go, if someone can tell me how long there is left on the CD and where i should go for it (to london or not?) it would be much appreciated. i'll be back in a few hours!

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 9 September 2005 10:36 (twenty years ago)

xpost: It's only a small crime - especially since we've already gone backwards twice (with the Klezmer and with Tatu).

(Anyway, I've already saved the jpg and closed Paint Shop Pro, so there's no Undo...!)

FFS people.

"Let's say that Santa Clara is a small village in the French-Spanish border, okay?"

Actually, Santa Clara is a small island off the coast of San Sebastian, which is on the Northern coast of Spain, only a few miles away from the French border. Sorted!

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 9 September 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

i thought it was at 63 minutes a couple of days back and we'd had 2 tracks added since then?

regardless, my track will be up tonight.

― jed_ (jed), Friday, 9 September 2005 16:52 (twenty years ago)

I'm just reporting what my Winamp playlist says.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:06 (twenty years ago)

i am still missing track 3 on this. can someone ysi?

― tricky (disco stu), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

It's available at the gmail. I need to get the most recent few on there, still.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Friday, 9 September 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i don't know how i got 63 minutes now that I queue it up. i must have had something else mixed in with the ilmixor songs.

― gspm (gspm), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:39 (twenty years ago)

I make it 1 hour 9 mins 47 secs so far.

― I Ain't No Addict, Whoever Heard of a Junkie as Old as Me? (noodle vague), Friday, 9 September 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Wow, that could be the exact place Yello is referring to! Who knew thing would fix this easily? Great!

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 10 September 2005 07:49 (twenty years ago)

sorry for the delay, everyone. track will be up in the a.m.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 11 September 2005 02:06 (twenty years ago)

So should I keep my hopes up for this time around or just wait for the next theme?

― Hurting (Hurting), Sunday, 11 September 2005 02:36 (twenty years ago)

ok, mine is up. charlie next.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 11 September 2005 12:13 (twenty years ago)

New theme time, then?

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Sunday, 11 September 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

what is the double meaning of generation gap?

i like insouciance.

― tricky (disco stu), Sunday, 11 September 2005 20:09 (twenty years ago)

(oh forget it, i get the double meaning now)

― tricky (disco stu), Sunday, 11 September 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

So far:

J'Accuse!
Insouciance.
Dawn Till Dawn.
Failed Seduction.
Swingers Party From Hell.
Kiss Whitie.
Generation Gap.

― mike t-diva (mike t-diva), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

I vote for "Swingers Party from Hell". But, y'know, I would.

― I Oppose All Rock and Roll (noodle vague), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

I'll second that.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

I was going to suggest a New Orleans theme, but maybe that's too limiting.

― Hurting (Hurting), Monday, 12 September 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

i oppose any theme with "from hell" in the name. it's almost as bad as "on acid."

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 12 September 2005 01:28 (twenty years ago)

since we skipped over america on this last one, how about an across-the-country-in-80-minutes theme?

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 12 September 2005 01:30 (twenty years ago)

s/c (xpost) OTM

― Hurting (Hurting), Monday, 12 September 2005 03:42 (twenty years ago)

Well, it's not like America hasn't been represented. Hilary Duff, Don Pullen and Ornette Coleman, ya know.

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Monday, 12 September 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

From Hell to America... ON ACID!

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

i like it.

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 12 September 2005 05:34 (twenty years ago)

I'm in for the 2nd one as well.

― zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Monday, 12 September 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

Nah. Let's do it.

― Jordan (Jordan), Monday, 12 September 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

i like the across america theme as well as "insouciance".

"Blithe lack of concern" it apparently is.

"insouciance" might be too close in theme to "chutzpah," which was the first ilmixor we did.

― the happy smile patrol (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 23 September 2005 01:43 (twenty years ago)

I disagree, chutzpah is TOTALLY different from insouciance.

― Hurting (Hurting), Friday, 23 September 2005 01:43 (twenty years ago)

i've interpreted "insouciance" as having an undertone of prattishness to it, but the dictionary definition doesn't mention this. hrm.

― the happy smile patrol (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 23 September 2005 01:53 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, insouciance is like blithely tripping along the street whilst cars crash and children fall down manholes in yr wake.
