ILMiXor Disc 3: I've Got a Secret

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

We just ended Disc 2; now it's time to move on to the next one(s). The queue is below. Since this is the start of "round 2," I decided to alternate between people who haven't gone yet and people who went in the last round. Dom goes first, I follow him, and so on. Keep your eye on this thread to see how things are progressing and to be aware of when your turn's coming up. I'll also be posting the updated queues in the comment boxes on the blog (they'll be in the top or next-to-top blog post, depending on when I get around to dealing with it).

The theme this time is "I've Got a Secret" -- take that to mean whatever you'd like it to, but make your choice specific enough so we'll have some idea of what you're getting at. Remember that this is a mix and not just a random bunch of songs -- part of the fun of this (for me, anyway) is finding good segues out of the track that comes before yours.

I'll be adding updated info to the blog later tonight.

Relevant links below (if you're not sure about something, check the earlier threads for frequently asked questions answered frequently) (we didn't really start establishing "rules" until somewhat late in the first disc).

hooray! i was just wondering whether i should e-mail you.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 26 February 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

JBR, could you change the blog settings so that only the most recent ten (or fifteen or twenty ...) posts are displayed?

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Sunday, 27 February 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

i'll do that.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 27 February 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

Everyone should just submit 'Take Your Mama' and be done with it.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Monday, 28 February 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

i was thinking this would be the time for the obligatory fred neil segue.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 28 February 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

Obligation nothing. We'll beat it out of Fred of his own free will.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 28 February 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

tidbit i just found out, that makes these cds come full circle in a way: the lead singer of my track went on to sign and "executive produce" deee-lite at elektra.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 28 February 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Right, who should I contact to host the MP3? I'm not very big on doing the Yousendit thing.

(The blurb'll go up tomorrow morn)

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 28 February 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

you can mail it to the shared gmail account (see info above) and whoever gets to it first can host it.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 28 February 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

Marvo. Will do.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Monday, 28 February 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

i need my turn to come up by thursday or after saturday otherwise i will have to go later in the queue.

― basquiat (disco stu), Monday, 28 February 2005 23:35 (twenty years ago)

I've only just got round to catching up with the last 10 or so songs, but the Ark track from the last disc has expired :(

I won't be able to go til Wednmesday morning.

― The Lex (The Lex), Monday, 28 February 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

posting the ark track to gmail.

lex - swygart is going today so wed. morning is cool.
tricky - expect your turn to come up after saturday. if it doesn't, maybe someone will trade spots with you.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 12:17 (twenty years ago)

everything up to disc 3 track 2 is now in the gmail inbox. would some generous soul mind hosting the couple of yousendit-ed tracks that are on the blog? i'm already hosting nine mp3s myself.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

I'll trade spots with Tricky should he need it.

― Jeff Reguilon (Talent Explosion), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

Right, I've not written the blurb yet, that'll probably go up around half-six-ish, but I'll email the track along now.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

i can host the other yousendit files. do you know what they are off the top of yr head, jbr? thanks for offering to switch, jeff. hopefully i can still go in the appointed order....

― basquiat (disco stu), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 17:26 (twenty years ago)

looks like it's just the ark. i thought there was another, but i guess it's found a happy home. :-)

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 18:28 (twenty years ago)

Blurb up.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 20:17 (twenty years ago)

good song!

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

swygart's track still needs a host. it's in the gmail folder.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

Haha I had a choice of three songs for my turn and I was going to pick the one which sounded best after Will's - and they'd all sound great! Maybe the answer will come to me in my SLEEP.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 1 March 2005 23:32 (twenty years ago)

is there a time limit for tracks on this disc? i have3 or 4 options here (depending on what comes before mine)

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

use your judgment. i'm betting that the average track on this will be between 4 and 7 minutes.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

how's it goin', lex?

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 2 March 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

no word from the lex. that's odd. firstworldman, do you want to post in the meantime?

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 3 March 2005 00:33 (twenty years ago)

damn i should've gotten in on this

― Who did release magic family out from the base of $499 (deangulberry), Thursday, 3 March 2005 01:52 (twenty years ago)

i can't post til tomorrow, actually. but if you don't hear from lex by then, i will happily do it.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Thursday, 3 March 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

just posted! sorry, I was going to post before I went out but managed to delete everything without saving it, bloody computers etc. I'm a bit drunk so apologies if the blurb makes no sense: also it's a yousendit file which needs to be hosted.

i'm planning on posting an instrumental, which perhaps offers an alternate but still literal take on the 'secret' premise, though there are other aspects of secrecy involved. it is all rather tenuous though!

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Thursday, 3 March 2005 13:17 (twenty years ago)

tres cryptic!

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 3 March 2005 13:25 (twenty years ago)

my link to the theme was horribly tenuous. I had one song which totally fit the theme but the blurb wasn't coming at all, and also I think more people would like this one.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 3 March 2005 13:28 (twenty years ago)

I can re up the Ark track if it is still needed, or if anyone is having problems with shared gmail inbox.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 3 March 2005 18:43 (twenty years ago)

could you do that, mfg? thx.

― jbr (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 3 March 2005 21:03 (twenty years ago)

has there been any thought or discussion about covers or artwork? craving something since i burned 'chutzpah' and 'pop top 40' but am no graphic designer.

― jergins (jergins), Thursday, 3 March 2005 23:02 (twenty years ago)

i was gonna ask elvis telecom cuz he does the best cover art of anyone anywhere. nate patrin's no slouch either, if he wants to come up with something.

― donut debonair (donut), Friday, 18 March 2005 02:25 (twenty years ago)

nah, i'm not struggling. we've still got a ton of ppl. my main concern is that we're all not dawdling too much. i'm gonna start getting stricter about time limits. i'll add you to the queue for disc 4 and hopefully you'll get to go.

no, just the lull ;-)

― sexy waitress connie stevens (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 19 March 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

I caught up with my ILMiXor listening last night ... Disc 3 is, of course, fantastic and I think the Free Association/KMFDM double bill would make a great conclusion to the mix. Ending with a weepy song
followed by a (somewhat) mood-lightening uptempo track -- that's a sequence straight out of Mixtape 101.

If the lull continues until Monday then we could consider making it final ...

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 19 March 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

yikes, just saw this ... sorry I was gone all day yesterday and out late last night. I am on it!!

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Saturday, 19 March 2005 23:55 (twenty years ago)

Well, actually MindInRewind makes a great point.. I think the curators of each mix should have the power to determine when a mix is done.. if he/she feels it appropriate. since jbr is on this one, maybe Stormy Davis should wait for her word before proceeding.. as she may feel the mix is just right as it is, and he may end up beginning the next one?

..or not. It's JBR's baby.

― donut debonair (donut), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:23 (twenty years ago)

i haven't even had a chance to listen to the last few tracks yet! i don't wanna keep stormy from doing his thing though. his call.

― sexy waitress connie stevens (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 20 March 2005 04:47 (twenty years ago)

i wonder if i can sneak into secrets...i'm freaking about maximalism. i have no idea about soviet politics.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 20 March 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

Isn't maximalism just the inverse of minimalism???

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 20 March 2005 16:35 (twenty years ago)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximalism

Maximalism is a term used in literature, art, and music to apply to post-minimalist movements or works, named in analogy with minimalism. It is not currently in wide use, though it has become more prominent as of 2004.

...

In the more general sense "maximalism" is applied to any doctrine or school of thought that extends its basic principles to the largest possible area. For example a "maximalist" vision of a nation state is one that encompasses all of the areas where the nationality is abundant, a "maximalist" program in science asserts the strongest possible form of its axioms.

Also...

http://www.musicdiscoveries.com/music/categories/meade/meade.html

Glenn Meade composes "maximalist" music: complex and dynamic works for a large synthesizer orchestra. Utilizing more than 40 different synthesizers, samplers, and audio processors he creates beautiful timbres and powerful musical statements. A master of electronic instruments, Glenn achieves sounds that reflect all the breadth and nuance of a skilled virtuoso. They are then fused together in compositions that are symphonic in scope, with strong melodies, chromatic textures, and energetic percussion. Complex and engaging, the compositions vary dramatically -- from those with blistering speed and intensity to those with slow grandeur and haunting melodies.

Haha, now I doubt Glenn Meade is seen as the absolute model for the theme for Disc 4 ;) ... however reinterpret his example into whatever form you feel a song you have in mind is analagous to the description(s) above.. and there you go.

― donut debonair (donut), Sunday, 20 March 2005 20:29 (twenty years ago)

although the term "maximalist" was never used to describe these guys.. think MBV's "Loveless", or Cornelius's Fantasma... or anything that tries to be as multi-layered/multi-faceted as possible. Something that tries to occupy every part of your brain at once... or tries to occupy so much of just one part of your brain...

This would be my interpretation. Your interpretation is up to you.

― donut debonair (donut), Sunday, 20 March 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

3 guesses what my intepretation is, and the first 2 don't count.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Sunday, 20 March 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

Maximum booty bass?

― donut debonair (donut), Sunday, 20 March 2005 20:59 (twenty years ago)

there better be some ELO on that disc or i'm pulling the plug on the whole thing

― sexy waitress connie stevens (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 20 March 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

Loveless isn't maximalist, it's just loud!

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 21 March 2005 02:04 (twenty years ago)

stormy, are you still "on it"? ;-)

― i love scotch, scotchy scotch scotch (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 21 March 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

eeek, yeah, sorry about that. we had our ILBB baseball draft today which took a few hours. I'll try to get something up in an hour or so.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 21 March 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

post is up. sorry for the delay!

thank ya stormo. that artwork is completely nuts!
