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

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

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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago)
buzzband sensations with npr/starbucks mojo, etc.
― pan loco y salsa loca (get bent), Monday, 18 April 2011 20:08 (fifteen years ago)
OK, I would like to do this.
― jaymc, Monday, 18 April 2011 20:15 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago)
or you can just tell me which song i should do
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 (fifteen years ago)
Hmmm, maybe! I need to think about what kind of cover I would even want to do.

I was wondering who would be the first to call Friday

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

i had no idea
it wasn't very good

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

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

i'm considering doing this
― goole, Monday, 18 April 2011 21:01 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago)
or the "keep on dancing 'til the world ends" song from the new britney album. feelin' a pre-apocalyptic/cross-planetary voib.

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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago)

― swaguirre, the wrath of basedgod (bernard snowy), Monday, 1 August 2011 22:29 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen 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 (fifteen years ago)
sure, do an album track. "singles" are slippery concept these days.

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 (fifteen years ago)
received "broken record" too.
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.

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.
