Actual album release date is October 6 -- everyone has until August 31 to submit their cover. Mail your file to ned at kuci dot org as always. And as always we'll need cover art.

Do track lengths matter?

I'm doing this btw

Track length not a factor.

I'll take "Chinatown"!

tempting !
not sure I'll have the time but I can try to make a quick one before I leave on holidays.
those are pretty unremarkable titles though... maybe "I never wanna be like you" (dedicated to noel G).

oop be doo be doo wah!

For my track, I'm thinking of a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis.
It will be grand. best rocknroll song since "little james".

I'll have All My People/All Mankind, please :D

Such uninispiring song titles.

‘I’ve All I Need’ - might as well just drop a mic into a pot of lumpy grey porridge and tape that

you volunteering?

Could just do cover versions of all the songs he's nicked the titles from.

i don't make lumpy porridge pal xp

Bold! Always believe that you're old...

‘You Better Run’

.. 4yrlifeifUcanlilGirl...

My original thought was a Buffalo Springfield cover of "For What It's Worth" but I thought it would be more fun to do an original song.

Go on then, I'll do 'Wall of Glass'.

we need a bold opening statement

followed by a Bold secondary one

No pressure then.

15 tracks is a lot. Does Liam really need to release a 15 songs album ? I'm not sure he has that much to say musically and lyrically.

Some of them might be skits?

Universal Gleam sounds like a fucking furniture polish or a window cleaner.

That's Liam, the Singing Window Cleaner.

I know a guy called Mr. Sheeyeeeeeen
He's really into Windoleeeeiiine
The sun sheeeeeines on the scene
Whatever and d'you know what I mean?

Nice. A full month. I'll take `You Better Run`.

15 tracks is a lot. Does Liam really need to release a 15 songs album ? I'm not sure he has that much to say musically and lyrically.

lololol otm

Some of them might be skits?

ahah, now THAT would make the album worth listening to !

The last three are only on the deluxe version - so you know they're the deep cuts for the real heads.

including a big Oasis-esque epic or two

Does Liam really need to release an 15 songsalbum ?

(xp) A 'Why oh why didn't they put that one on the album, what were they thinking, tchoh! *slaps forehead*' track

Ned saying the title in repeat (Revolution 9 style) over one of the tracks in reverse !

Beatles and Stone Roses references in one track : how more Liam/Oasis could it be !

lol

My first version of the proposed song was terrible. No really, it's not leaving the house.

Will do a better one tomorrow, or substitute a somethingelse, promise.

We have eight tracks so far.

damn. that's only half the tracks...

Well, over half, but yeah.

come one, all our people right here, right now !

i am getting a song to you tomorrow no matter what i swear its just always hard to let something go

Go let it out

Liam inspires everyone to finish!

Mans not hot... the ting goes pa pa pa as you were LG x

— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) September 6, 2017

Thanks guys <3

Do it!! Let's give LG a run for his money!

Today is gonna be the day !

That's right! Let's see those final tracks, folks!

just mailed mine in. can't wait to hear the whole thing

Okay we're up to ten...

4 more to go then (not counting LBI's track) ?

Correct!

Okay, another just arrived, so it's three to go!

Ah, correcting -- it's a kind offer that's arrived to fill in the LBI gap. Thanks! Still leaves the other four to go!

That is wonderful news, much love to that person.

best to you & yours lbi, didn't say it before.

the rest of you, get on with it

ty lj <3

Somehow. Someway, I am recording a vocal tonight

ONE TAKE, CHYEAH

DONE jesus what agony

Congrats ! Art is pain !
So did we make the deadline ?

Not quite but I'm willing to stretch it out for the weekend -- besides the LBI replacement, we're still missing three tracks. AND cover art, hint hint.

Release it as-is IMO

I have tonight free to finish the fill in

I'll wait on UMS's tonight, and otherwise will prep and release Monday morning.

Yeah fair is fair -- There was a one week extension!

No news from the missing ones ?

I will let them speak for themselves...but I may send some direct prompts.

My replacement track for LBI is in Ned's atomic linkbin.... What's your excuse?

Hey thanks for doing that man!

no problem was fun, gave me something to do last night...hope all is well as it can be LBI

Okay, putting it all together and cover art sorted out. (I took the bull by the horns for this one -- but it came together very simply, as you'll see.)

Also, here's the track listing buuuuut I need you all to reconfirm what names you want me to use. If you included a name with your file, I'm using that!

01 Tom D - Walls of Glass
02 ShariVari - Paper Crown
03 (UMS's real name) - For What It's Worth
04 (UMS's real name) - When I'm in Need
05 (LocalGarda's first name) - I Get By
06 Captain Jay Vee - Chinatown
07 Matthew Mathieu - Come Back To Me
08 Mark G - Universal Gleam
09 Adam Bruneau - I've All I Need
10 DJP - Doesn't Have To Be This Way
11 imago - All My People_All Mankind
12 AlXTC - I Never Wanna Be Like You

My track title has a slash rather than an underscore!

I am happy with my real name being used. Tho maybe not on the board, I suppose.

Tom D will suffice.

Slash in the title, imago, no worries.

Great work Ned!

ShariVari should be fine. I don't think A Number Of Names will sue.

(ahem "Capitaine")

I'd rather be HI DERE

All changes noted.

I was gonna be Edie Bye

Okay, we're live!
