as maresnest puts the finishing touches on the sc1en0 comp, a new idea is birthed.

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Monday, 18 April 2011 19:56 (fourteen years ago)

i might have to take on "e.t."

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Monday, 18 April 2011 19:58 (fourteen years ago)

Guideline as to what constitutes a "pop hit"? As in, "it has to have been in the Top 40 between <x date> and <y date>"?

grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em burn 'em (snoball), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:00 (fourteen years ago)

something that's been playing on the radio or been a viral/youtube hit within the past year-ish. all genres considered as long as the song is a "hit."

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:03 (fourteen years ago)

buzzband sensations with npr/starbucks mojo, etc.

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:08 (fourteen years ago)

OK, I would like to do this.

jaymc, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:15 (fourteen years ago)

jaymc maybe we can collabo on something if you're interested, this sounds fun but i am very very out of touch with the pop hits of the day.

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:16 (fourteen years ago)

or you can just tell me which song i should do

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:16 (fourteen years ago)

There's this little song called "Friday" you might be interested in.

That's why they call me (Johnny Fever), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:17 (fourteen years ago)

Hmmm, maybe! I need to think about what kind of cover I would even want to do.

jaymc, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:17 (fourteen years ago)

I was wondering who would be the first to call Friday

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:18 (fourteen years ago)

nelly had a top 10 hit in 2010?!?!?

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:22 (fourteen years ago)

i had no idea

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:22 (fourteen years ago)

it wasn't very good

fat fat fat fat Usher (DJP), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:24 (fourteen years ago)

i always underestimate how many big hits i know, most of those seem at least superficially familiar

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:27 (fourteen years ago)

There's a lot of overlap with the US charts but anyway:

grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em burn 'em (snoball), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:36 (fourteen years ago)

Right now I am leaning toward a klezmer interpretation of "DJ Got Us Falling in Love."

jaymc, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:39 (fourteen years ago)

you're on your own, buddy

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:41 (fourteen years ago)

I'm calling Rihanna's 'S&M'.

grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em burn 'em (snoball), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:46 (fourteen years ago)

I think if I tried most of these songs I would come off like a poor man's Pomplamoose.

reggaeton for the painfully alone (polyphonic), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:47 (fourteen years ago)

OR those white people who did the "Boyz N the Hood" cover.

Pleasant Plains, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:50 (fourteen years ago)

i'm considering doing this

goole, Monday, 18 April 2011 21:01 (fourteen years ago)

Quick way out of this would be to grab the Amen break off the net, spend 3 mins on Garageband and do a Pendulum cover.

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Monday, 18 April 2011 22:27 (fourteen years ago)

i might have to take on "e.t."

or the "keep on dancing 'til the world ends" song from the new britney album. feelin' a pre-apocalyptic/cross-planetary voib.

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 02:16 (fourteen years ago)

also i know "stereo love" is from 2009 but it's getting HELLA radio play in my neck of the woods. someone please do it, for meee?

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 02:19 (fourteen years ago)

If I had any skills at all, I would do "I Like It". Call Barack and Michelle let 'em know that it's on.

housedress? maxidress! (La Lechera), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 02:47 (fourteen years ago)

xp Yeah, I think that should count. It peaked in the U.S. in January 2011.

jaymc, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 04:47 (fourteen years ago)

dibs on "Like A G6"

beyond custos (absolutely clean glasses), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 09:56 (fourteen years ago)

I'm gonna regret this, but I'm calling one of the Katy B singles.

Think I'm going to go for "Broken Record" rather than "Lights On" for the simple reason that, um, I can't toast to save my life. Unless someone else wants to do the Ms Dynamite bits for me as a collaboration?

(Kareny B. Tregaskin?)

The Analords of Acid (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 10:05 (fourteen years ago)

You'd do a pretty good 'Broken Record' I think! Or for that matter most of them, but yeah maybe not 'Lights On'.

Looking forward to hearing this. Unless someone does 'Do It Like A Dude'.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 10:10 (fourteen years ago)

...unless I got Ned to do the toasting bits on Lights On! ha hahaha.

The Analords of Acid (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 10:14 (fourteen years ago)

omg please yes

beyond custos (absolutely clean glasses), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 10:31 (fourteen years ago)

i'm on the reichstag, baby, I was bahn this way (m bison), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 10:51 (fourteen years ago)

Ragga Raggett toasting

grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em burn 'em (snoball), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 11:03 (fourteen years ago)

kinda want to do "firework" cuz I think those absurdly terrible lyrics would be fun to sing, but I dunno if I actually have the range for it

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:03 (fourteen years ago)

(then again, neither does katy perry)

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:03 (fourteen years ago)

excellent point.

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:05 (fourteen years ago)

grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em burn 'em (snoball), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:15 (fourteen years ago)

oh, speaking of the dreaded pomplamoose (upthread), who's going to do the hyundai jingle?

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:22 (fourteen years ago)

nobody doing "being a dickhead's cool"?

Jlloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken (ken c), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:32 (fourteen years ago)

looks like we filled that slot actually

bernard snowy, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:38 (fourteen years ago)

ah ok.

Jlloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken (ken c), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:40 (fourteen years ago)

maybe i could actually finish the 'rolling in the deep' remix i started for this

ˆᴥˆ (blueski), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 12:46 (fourteen years ago)

What's the deadline, gbjbr?

Pleasant Plains, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 13:57 (fourteen years ago)

Translation into English, please?

The Analords of Acid (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:05 (fourteen years ago)

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:06 (fourteen years ago)

Soft deadline, with hard deadline St Swithin's Day?

The Analords of Acid (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:10 (fourteen years ago)

too far out. hard deadline is june 12, no lollygagging allowed. you've already got a month and a half!

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:12 (fourteen years ago)

Wholly tempted to try covering Friday as A Silver Mt Zion

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:20 (fourteen years ago)

Who's going to take on Whip My Hair?

ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 14:25 (fourteen years ago)

aw dammit i was thinking about 'what's my name'. m bison, let me know if you change your mind!

górecki's zygotic mynci (c sharp major), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 17:31 (fourteen years ago)

I'm not participating, but I would LOVE to hear someone do Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend" (is that a hit?).

That's why they call me (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 17:52 (fourteen years ago)

...unless I got Ned to do the toasting bits on Lights On! ha hahaha.

Oh dear.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 17:55 (fourteen years ago)

That's a yes?

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

...I guess?

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 19 April 2011 18:09 (fourteen years ago)

Then yay!

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 18:11 (fourteen years ago)

Count me in for Rebbeca Black - Friday (cancerous strip mall/charred angel's halo mix)

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 18:20 (fourteen years ago)

tsk Rebecca (cures eyoiu ophone)

bRon To Run (MaresNest), Tuesday, 19 April 2011 18:21 (fourteen years ago)

can't decide between "being a dickhead's cool" or "double rainbow all the way across the sky"

Jlloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken (ken c), Wednesday, 20 April 2011 13:48 (fourteen years ago)

if I don't do "Firework", I might try "Whip My Hair".
thought about "Black & Yellow" but I'm not really sure what I'd do with it.

bernard snowy, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 16:45 (fourteen years ago)

can i try black and yellow if u don't want it?

rent, Thursday, 21 April 2011 05:07 (fourteen years ago)

Hats off to anyone who does cover it - it's basically some guy going "black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow" for 3 minutes.

grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em burn 'em (snoball), Thursday, 21 April 2011 07:14 (fourteen years ago)

pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Thursday, 21 April 2011 07:15 (fourteen years ago)

I'm in for "Born This Way"

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Thursday, 21 April 2011 07:26 (fourteen years ago)

can i try black and yellow if u don't want it?

― rent, Thursday, April 21, 2011 5:07 AM (5 hours ago) Bookmark

sure, go for it! think I'm gonna tackle "Firework" after all

bernard snowy, Thursday, 21 April 2011 10:10 (fourteen years ago)

i will tentatively claim "six foot seven foot" but i don't know if i'm really going to have time to work on this

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 21 April 2011 13:23 (fourteen years ago)

Not sure the klezmer idea is going to fly, but I'll still take "DJ Got Us Falling in Love."

jaymc, Thursday, 21 April 2011 13:47 (fourteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

it's may, and the sounds of $c!3n+0l0g3333 have made it into the ears of innocent children. let's boogie!

Is that last link the picklist? If not, what is?

(I know there was some discussion upthread, but I feel an official source is needed)

Mark G, Friday, 6 May 2011 08:28 (fourteen years ago)

(OK that's obv not the source, being as how it's the sciento orgy thing.)

Mark G, Friday, 6 May 2011 08:29 (fourteen years ago)

OK, might put dibs on "Don't stop believing"

Mark G, Friday, 6 May 2011 08:36 (fourteen years ago)

umm, i'm going to remix something. not sure what yet.

3.5" flopson (The Reverend), Friday, 6 May 2011 20:45 (fourteen years ago)

I guess I should put in for "tik tok" b4 somebody else swipes it

Not sure why, but I can't really get as excited about this project as some of the other ones. Maybe if it'd been covers of the entire Now #1 catalogue or something...

(lol the American Now! Vol. 1 was in 1998 and features Flagpole Sitta, Mmm Bop, Sex & Candy, Karma Police, and, uh, Barbie Girl. This would also be pretty funny obv)

this thread has made me realise how little modern pop music I'm actually familiar with. Guess I got old.

Oh yeah, mine is done, too. Well, it was done weeks ago but I'm still contemplating swapping a siren synth sound for a crumhorn after the medieval music workshop at Lewes Castle last weekend. Should we pop them on Soundcloud and just add them to a group or something?

Karen D. Tregaskin, Saturday, 4 June 2011 15:24 (fourteen years ago)

i wanted to do Super Bass but couldn't find an acapella :(

zappi, Saturday, 4 June 2011 15:34 (fourteen years ago)

Broken Record (Madrigal Breakdown mix):

http://soundcloud.com/karendtregaskin/broken-record-madrigal

No idea what sound quality that is at (probably pretty poor) let me know if you'd rather an AIFF version and I'll toss it on YSI.

(My original demo is on that Soundcloud, too, with the metallic siren synth and sounding a lot more like the original but Lex actually suggested taking it off - I'd scored out a string quartet and it was occupying exactly the same sonic space, too busy)

Karen D. Tregaskin, Sunday, 5 June 2011 07:51 (fourteen years ago)

my laptop has been acting wonky, and the new one i ordered hasn't shipped yet. in the meantime, i will pull this together the best i can. send links to j o d y . b e t h ***at*** g m a i l ***dot*** c o m

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 13 June 2011 14:50 (fourteen years ago)

or that song about barbra streisand

maybe we can all collaborate somehow by sending in our bit... i want to hear ned say barbra streissand.

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 10:19 (fourteen years ago)

I'm gonna liberate my 4-track!

I can do any song, because it won't sound like the original anyway - was thinking maybe of doing "Born this Way" - i only will use my casio pt-10, toy accordian, rap and sing keyboard and cardboard boxes/water bottles to make the sounds.

resonate with awesomeness (jel --), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:29 (fourteen years ago)

Or maybe I'll do GaGa's "Hair".

resonate with awesomeness (jel --), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:30 (fourteen years ago)

casio pt-10

I have one of these! I can recommend the 'fantasy' preset through a big reverb.

wtf is wrong with people? (snoball), Tuesday, 14 June 2011 15:51 (fourteen years ago)

I can recommend swirling it over a microphone with the keys held down for UFO sounds!

at this point my life is p crazy and despite decent effort I don't think I'm going to be able to ACTUALLY get anything done/finished, so feel free to do "Barbra Streisand" (or that Daughtry song I claimed earlier)

mine is pretty crazy too - will try my best to make a good version!

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 27 June 2011 09:37 (fourteen years ago)

I've been at an impasse on mine for several weeks now. I have one idea that might salvage it, but I'll need a few days. Otherwise, I could maybe make what I've done so far available for someone else to tinker with? I dunno, I probably shouldn't have even bothered with this.

Don Rickles on the Dime (jaymc), Monday, 27 June 2011 13:02 (fourteen years ago)

i'm cool with an extension. i haven't received that many tracks yet anyway.

feta coulis (get bent), Monday, 27 June 2011 13:10 (fourteen years ago)

I started my track but yeah need more time

people are posting on the internet moonship (Edward III), Monday, 27 June 2011 13:29 (fourteen years ago)

I'm *almost* done -- just tweaking a few things.

jaymc, Sunday, 3 July 2011 16:47 (fourteen years ago)

same here. almost (watching pulp got in the way last weekend)

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 4 July 2011 15:52 (fourteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

is this still a thing? cuz I've got a rough mix now.

Any one can have ketchup for their food, I don't care any more (Edward III), Saturday, 23 July 2011 06:55 (fourteen years ago)

it is still a thing, even if we have to put it out as a mini-LP instead of our usual night-of-a-thousand-ilxors.

the table is the do the standing still (get bent), Saturday, 23 July 2011 15:46 (fourteen years ago)

St Swithins Day has been and gone, and we will have 40 more days of ILX0rs be finishing their mixes, I guess?

Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Sunday, 24 July 2011 14:32 (fourteen years ago)

did you ever get jaymc/ken c's?

Any one can have ketchup for their food, I don't care any more (Edward III), Sunday, 24 July 2011 20:17 (fourteen years ago)

After much anguish, mine was sent and received.

jaymc, Sunday, 24 July 2011 22:47 (fourteen years ago)

hi guys my mac exploded last week and together with my recording on garageband. i can do it again but it'll take a couple of weeks (and try and find a good PC program to record on my laptop), so don't wait for me if you're all ready :(

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Monday, 25 July 2011 13:54 (fourteen years ago)

sent my track

spent days trying to fix a digital glitch in best take of main vocal track, if you hear it just smile and pretend you didn't

big triffid in my backyard (Edward III), Monday, 1 August 2011 15:10 (fourteen years ago)

got it!

who else is still in for this? my track is done.

orinoco flowbee (get bent), Monday, 1 August 2011 21:17 (fourteen years ago)

would love to have at least 10 songs; we have 7 right now.

orinoco flowbee (get bent), Monday, 1 August 2011 21:22 (fourteen years ago)

oh dang I completely slept on this. I can bang something out tomorrow, so count me in!

swaguirre, the wrath of basedgod (bernard snowy), Monday, 1 August 2011 22:29 (fourteen years ago)

I can do another song if you like, but you gotta give me another weekend. I was thinking about doing a Britney track next, though it's one of the album tracks off the latest album so I don't know if that counts within the remit tho I'm sure the album sold a bazillion copies even if it wasn't a single?

Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 09:30 (fourteen years ago)

OMG, someone just gave me the idea of doing a Britney song in Cornish...

http://audioboo.fm/boos/428062

I mean, obviously not that track (and I'd like to think I can sing slightly better than that) but as a concept! Do want!

Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 10:36 (fourteen years ago)

if i can get some kind of recording set up working, I will do this for 21st Aug.

Gary Numan, or Gary Fletcher (ken c), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 10:51 (fourteen years ago)

sure, do an album track. "singles" are slippery concept these days.

orinoco flowbee (get bent), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:32 (fourteen years ago)

Cool, thanks, will do.

swaguirre, the wrath of basedgod (bernard snowy), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 16:14 (fourteen years ago)

I'm down to do another, what's been taken?

dutty whiney (The Reverend), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 20:30 (fourteen years ago)

i've received "s&m," "tik tok," "till the world ends," "dj got us fallin in love," "firework," "unthinkable," "6 foot 7 foot" -- other track ideas are purely conceptual at this point.

orinoco flowbee (get bent), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 21:25 (fourteen years ago)

received "broken record" too.

orinoco flowbee (get bent), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 21:25 (fourteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Sorry, I've bitten off more than I can chew this month, and I'm not going to get a chance to contribute any more tracks.

Aphex Twin … in my vagina? (Karen D. Tregaskin), Wednesday, 17 August 2011 14:00 (fourteen years ago)

I guess I'll send in my "Sure Thing" remix when I have time.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 23:22 (fourteen years ago)

can we wrap this up around labor day? last call for submissions/completions.

chavo pendergrass (get bent), Thursday, 18 August 2011 02:52 (fourteen years ago)

labor day in the u.s. = september 5.

chavo pendergrass (get bent), Thursday, 18 August 2011 02:53 (fourteen years ago)

Is anyone else doing 'Swagger Jagger'? If not, I'd like to have a go.

Hysterically Hardcore (snoball), Saturday, 20 August 2011 21:23 (fourteen years ago)

three weeks pass...

maybe now that there's a new ilx comp in the works, this one should be released?

congratulations (n/a), Monday, 12 September 2011 19:43 (fourteen years ago)

yeah I really didn't get anywhere with this. I'd like to hear what other people came up with though.

Battlestar Gracián (crüt), Monday, 12 September 2011 21:53 (fourteen years ago)

Agreed.

What's the new comp?

*ter jacket (jaymc), Monday, 12 September 2011 21:59 (fourteen years ago)

new comp: ILX pre-covers LULU -- the Lou Reed/Metallica album
(the deadline of which is Oct 10th)

three word displayname (snoball), Monday, 12 September 2011 22:09 (fourteen years ago)

(also, I'd really like to hear "Now That's What I Call ILX")

three word displayname (snoball), Monday, 12 September 2011 22:10 (fourteen years ago)

i promise i'll finish this up this weekend and get it out soon. i started a new job a few weeks ago and shit's been hectic.

debenture banhart (get bent), Tuesday, 13 September 2011 00:52 (fourteen years ago)

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Monday, 19 September 2011 02:29 (fourteen years ago)

I feel bad complaining, but I can't stand untagged mp3s.

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Monday, 19 September 2011 02:42 (fourteen years ago)

shit, blame itunes, it said it made id3 tags.

debenture banhart (get bent), Monday, 19 September 2011 03:02 (fourteen years ago)

Maybe I don't use itunes is the problem?

skrillex pretend (The Reverend), Monday, 19 September 2011 03:03 (fourteen years ago)

i'll re-up tonight with proper tags.

Heard it this morning, it's truly great.

Mind you, at one point I did think "whoa, spotify ads?"

Mark G, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 08:42 (fourteen years ago)

spotify ads?

the tyrone power mixtape (get bent), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 16:39 (fourteen years ago)

I'll explain:

I recorded a bunch of Kraftwerk tracks onto minidisc from Spotify, back when I didn't have the Premium service. On playback, I had to edit out all the damn commercials. One of which was Ke$ha's "tik tok" featuring that very segment.

Mark G, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 01:15 (fourteen years ago)

Good album, wd everyone! Gonna single out Scare Quotes's contribution as particularly +. :)

anatol_merklich, Wednesday, 21 September 2011 17:56 (fourteen years ago)

My "Six Foot Seven Foot" "cover" (really more a remix of the banana boat song) is one of my favorite ILX comp submissions.
