ILX Disco Inferno Covers Compilation 2010

I guess the Joanna Newsom one will have to wait.

Okay, Ned has come up with the superb and timely idea of a DI compilation this time, so who is in?

It is (of course) totally cool for more than one submission, multiple covers of the same track etc:

PMs to me with submissions.

I will be aiming for It's A Kid's World.

Lets begin.

i need to revisit the catalog cuz it's been a while, but zots and i are in!

I cannot decide whether to call "In Sharky Water" or "New Clothes for the New World."

So can I just say that if anyone takes one of those before I decide, I will take the other? Or is that really annoying?

Oh, sorry, multiples are fine, never mind me!

"Love Stepping Out" for me.

(And for whoever wants to do the music for that too -- Paul has first dibs since that partnership worked out well, but it's up to him!)

If I end up doing this I'd prefer to take on "Sleight of Hand," from Technicolour.

Just had my first bad Disco Inferno google experience, is there a lyrics site anywhere??

Hahaha the eternal mystery.

You could do worse than here:

Disco Inferno lyrics

I'll take...When The Story Breaks, please

i'd like to take a crack at "from the devil to the deep blue sky."

Given the song confusion I've stoked in the past, is it that one you want to do or "A Rock To Cling To"? (The latter is the one with lyrics/vocals on that single.)

how about both?

Go for it!

I will do something but don't have any way to listen to the DI songs I have until I get my laptop back from Apple next week, so I guess I'll claim a specific song later. Unless anyone wants to "assign" me a song (i.e. pick a DI song they think I would do a good job of covering).

I reckon you'd do a killer Don't You Know but I'm not the one to do the assignation

Looking good already! I know Elvis T. will want to do one.

I had a great time participing in the Wire project, and specifically collaborating with Ned. But I'm so busy with other projects now and in the near future that I'll have to sit this one out.

(Big DI fan, looking forward to listening to the results!)

DI Go Plop? Nabisco Inferno?

Sorry that you can't make this one Paul.

Oh god! Awesome!

Frankly I would love to do Fallen Down the Wire, if it werent for the fact I have NO EFFING IDEA what he rants about.

Argh. I want in on this but I dont think I can do it justice :/

(would that I could, I would nominate myself for The Last/Long Dance.)

in, natch. song choice to come

U and S should do long dance, duder.

One of

The Last/Long Dance (ta Trayce)
Scattered Showers
In Sharky Water (pending Nabisco)

Actually I'd like to claim 'In Sharky Water' for solo project, seeing as I've already got a Pro Tools sesh with all the drums programmed from an abortive attempt to get an old band to cover it.

Have to mull this one over some.

carta will do this. I need to figure out what to do though. and it might take a month or two.

maybe waking up even though piano magic already did that and ours wouldn't sound miles off it. I'll decide tonight.

wish i had heard disco inferno's music before now, always down 4 these. can i cover the trampps' "disco inferno"? (not a srs q)

Yep srs a

Hmm this sounds like fun, but I probably don't need more music projects atm. If I have some time, I'll try to make something out of "Emigre". Regardless, I'd love to see what you all come up with.

4 real?? im gonna blow it out then.

x-post

gonna think about this. much intrigued.

Partially to allow folks like Vinnie more time, and partially because most of June is crazy busy for me, might I suggest a deadline of the end of July?

That sounds pretty good Ned, btw any chance of hitting up Crause for proper lyric scans?

XP - I say go for it M

Ha, I admit I was thinking about that. Can't promise anything but we'll see.

Really? cool, I was being glib, but yea!

End of July would be great, I think I'd be able to come up with something by then.

ElectricSound - TBC

scattered showers will be the s-/esoj collab this time

I think Carta will do 'at the end of the line'

Also can I change my solo one to 'Lost in Fog' please.

I'm gonna put this on hold for now. Apologies... just too busy.

Still looking fwd to seeing what others come up w/, though!

Put me down for something. Will confirm a track by tomorrow night if that's cool.

It was right around the moment I was finally content with my instrumental recordings that I realized: I can work out about a quarter of the lyrics for "In Sharky Water," and have no clue about filling in the gaps. I might just sing out of a phone book, to be honest.

I'm skipping this one, dudes.

Revive since we have a month to go (and I know I've been busy so this is as much for myself as everyone else!)

Not going to make it for this one either.

Extension?

Yeah, definitely, things got pretty busy on my end. Maybe end of August or sometime in September?

Would be better to push it back in the hope that more peeps can do it?

i'm teaching in a month, just guessing that i will have no time until christmas, hahah

I know it hurts people, but it's also good to talk.

Indeed!

Did this one ever happen?

No, it's ILX's dirty little secret :)

I think we all got too rushed/tired or something -- but maybe this can be done for next year?

The songs are pretty hard to figure out too, and the lyrics. :(

Chinese Discoinfernocracy

The big difference is that ILX doesn't have a stupid beef with Slash.

(over a videogame, no less)

ilx has stupid beef with EVERYTHING

ilx *is* stupid beef. http://cubiclebot.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/singing-beef.jpg

Hey I missed this at the time. I'd be interested in recording something if other people were still up for it.

I'm currently hip-deep in another recording project I'm coordinating but if someone else wants to lead the way...?

I still want to record for this if it happens. maybe this summer?
