I picked up my guitar and wrote a song the other day for the first time in ages!
Then I picked up my laptop to record it, and got sucked into ILX and Tumblr and Twitter... and then I figured I realised where my productivity went. :-/

Only a month Trayce! I fear I don't have enough time to write something and record it but going to give it a good go...

i want t do this but i know that i cant. maybe if this were a week later i could record during spring break.
― rhyme heals all goons (m bison), Monday, 10 February 2014 14:38 (eleven years ago)
you could do a short spoken word piece about what the track would sound like if you had time to record it!
― Karl Malone, Monday, 10 February 2014 14:40 (eleven years ago)
yeah so I should really work on this instead of sitting around all day playing shitty Interpol riffs and the tracks that inspired them on my guitar, huh?

you could do a short spoken word piece about how you're feeling about that!
― Karl Malone, Monday, 10 February 2014 15:23 (eleven years ago)
It's be about fingerbanging; trust me, no one wants to hear that.
(Maybe I'l do an Interpol cover, but I fear that'd tip me into actual madness at this point.)
― "righteous indignation shit" (Branwell Bell), Monday, 10 February 2014 15:26 (eleven years ago)
m bison if you can submit a track a week later happy to accept it!

n/a's song is sounding top notchi'm excited!
question - does ilx have any aspiring (or practicing but not professional) audio engineers?
― we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Monday, 10 February 2014 16:29 (eleven years ago)
i certainly have pretensions to it

of course, assuming it is something that can be done over the internets

That is great news! Thanks.
Also: song has been submitted!

I just got one of these:http://www.strapya-world.com/pic/2009/English-otamatone-0082.jpg
should I use it on my track y or n?

zero of the signified and i are going to record a cover of steely dan's "barrytown" for this.
― kilt by defrock (get bent), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 06:23 (eleven years ago)
1) Otamatone jams? A+++++ superdoubleplusgood YES
2) we can do covers? Because after the 22 Listens project, I really am feeling like this is the next step.
― "righteous indignation shit" (Branwell Bell), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 08:08 (eleven years ago)
I am going to hold off on this until I am sufficiently decon-kanye-nated, otherwise I will end up doing something I will regret.
― sarahell, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 10:10 (eleven years ago)
"Doing something I will regret" is the whole point of my idea, but also, feel like "doing something I will regret" is a huge part of Kanye's very ethos?
― "righteous indignation shit" (Branwell Bell), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 10:33 (eleven years ago)
fine, you do a kanye cover, I will do something else.
― sarahell, Wednesday, 12 February 2014 11:23 (eleven years ago)
I don't know any Kanye or I would. Maybe I'll do an Interpol song in the style of Kanye.
― "righteous indignation shit" (Branwell Bell), Wednesday, 12 February 2014 11:33 (eleven years ago)
Any contributions yet? I've got a Winter Olympics inspired track ready and rarin' to go.

I think my Otamatone won't come in time. ;_;

Oh noes, it could have been an Otamatone themed album.
Never mind. I have 2 weeks to learn how to smoke like Udo Kier, without choking, to get my beats fascist enough for this project.

― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Thursday, 13 February 2014 19:54 (eleven years ago)
ken, did you get the new version of our song? i sent it a few days ago. just checking!
― we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Thursday, 20 February 2014 13:55 (eleven years ago)
Yup - received! Sorry I have been checking that mailbox sporadically but will do so more often now we're approaching the deadline...
Hope the rest of the tracks are going well. I am picking up a knackered imac tonight hoping it can be combined with my knackered imac in order to produce one non-knackered imac with which to record music, wish me luck!

when all tracks are submitted I will email all submitted with the track listing so you can verify that the names are all correct
Optionally, if there are additional details you'd like to include with your track, please send it to me and I will include it in where available!
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Thursday, 20 February 2014 14:21 (eleven years ago)
hope to finish my track tonight or tomorrow. it's a #1 hit single, guarantee it!
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 23 February 2014 23:48 (eleven years ago)
o shit. typical last minute approach to homework from me.
― Merdeyeux, Sunday, 23 February 2014 23:49 (eleven years ago)
i'm sure my track will fit really smoothly into the flow of the compilation. particularly if the rest of you are also basing yours off of local "Firefighter for a Day" news segments
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 23 February 2014 23:51 (eleven years ago)
Holy shitsnacks, this snuck up on me and I've been so busy with Weeklybeats and my band I havent done anything argh!
Not to worry, I'll get something out soon :)
― the Bronski Review (Trayce), Monday, 24 February 2014 00:28 (eleven years ago)
I have finally got my "studio" up and running again (bought a cheap knackered imac) so it's frantic recording time soon.
― ^ 諷刺 (ken c), Monday, 24 February 2014 11:42 (eleven years ago)
I have a boring machine outside my window for the next few weeks. I have no idea if I'll be able to record. Or if I should turn in eight minutes of boring machine samples!

When the gas board replaced all the pipes on my street a few years ago, I recorded the sound of the big JCB mounted pneumatic drills and used them in a song.

We used a 1973 writing textbook, I'm dying to know who we get to be!! I'm also pretty excited about this -- it's the first time my drumming has been used in a song I also had a small hand in composing. How many more days?
