ILX pre-covers Animal Collective's "Centipede Hz"

You know the drill. And while the precovers of LULU are a high watermark and then some, that just means you all have something to aim at:

01 Moonjock
02 Today's Supernatural
03 Rosie Oh
04 Applesauce
05 Wide Eyed
06 Father Time
07 New Town Burnout
08 Monkey Riches
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita

Stake your claim here. And if there's enough interest I think we could do two volumes as before. Should we have an extra requirement a la the track times for LULU?

Actual album release date is September 4 so we can set the deadline comfortably in advance here.

ahah, always good to see these ILX-pre-covers threads pop up !
there are no track times yet, are there ?
and aren't these titles supposed to be not definitive ?

They were announced in a PR mailout this morning, so unless they change their minds...

i'll do monkey riches

Hesitating between Amanita and New Town...

I'd like it more if it was called Monkey Britches xp

Let's go with Amanita !

But the dead line is so far it's hard to get excited...

I'll have a go at 'Applesauce'.

Okay, just keeping rolling track here:

01 Moonjock
02 Today's Supernatural
03 Rosie Oh
04 Applesauce -- Gavin, Leeds
05 Wide Eyed
06 Father Time
07 New Town Burnout
08 Monkey Riches -- n/a
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita -- AlXTC from Paris

My boyfriend and I are going to do Moonjock.

that little dog precover was so good

Wait no can we switch to Rosie Oh?

Put me down for "Father Time"

Done and done:

01 Moonjock
02 Today's Supernatural
03 Rosie Oh -- Stevie D and boyfriend
04 Applesauce -- Gavin, Leeds
05 Wide Eyed
06 Father Time -- Mark G
07 New Town Burnout
08 Monkey Riches -- n/a
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita -- AlXTC from Paris

I bags Wide Eyed

I call Wide Eyed

Mercury Man!

Wait, no - Moonjock. Please! The Moon is more spacerock than Mercury. Thanks.

they are both space rocks iirc

Okay, B-Boy Bualdah called "Wide-Eyed" first but if we do a second one, Adam has it there, unless he wants to claim another track here. So we're at:

01 Moonjock -- White Chocolate Cheesecake
02 Today's Supernatural
03 Rosie Oh -- Stevie D and boyfriend
04 Applesauce -- Gavin, Leeds
05 Wide Eyed -- B-Boy Bualadh Bos
06 Father Time -- Mark G
07 New Town Burnout
08 Monkey Riches -- n/a
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita -- AlXTC from Paris

i'd like to do Pulleys

Sounds good -- that leaves "Mercury Man," "New Town Burnout" and "Today's Supernatural."

i have ideas for Today's Supernatural! put me down!

ned, chris and i will reunite to do "New Town Burnout"

"Today's Supernatural" sounds like a great power-pop song title, I actually kinda hear the chorus in my head! Would it violate the rules if I made it more of a GBVy guitar pop tune?

xp beaten :/

what's left?

if "mercury man" is left i'll take that!

If it flips over to a two volume version could I bagsy one?

If MaresNest doesn't want 'New Town Burnout' on Vol. 2, can I have it?

Sorry folks, got distracted here! Okay, so Volume 1 is complete:

01 Moonjock -- White Chocolate Cheesecake
02 Today's Supernatural -- sarahell
03 Rosie Oh -- Stevie D and boyfriend
04 Applesauce -- Gavin, Leeds
05 Wide Eyed -- B-Boy Bualadh Bos
06 Father Time -- Mark G
07 New Town Burnout -- upper mississippi sh@kedown/Chris B.
08 Monkey Riches -- n/a
09 Mercury Man -- get bent
10 Pulleys -- ciderpress
11 Amanita -- AlXTC from Paris

Volume Two!

01 Moonjock
02 Today's Supernatural -- V79
03 Rosie Oh
04 Applesauce
05 Wide Eyed -- Adam Bruneau
06 Father Time
07 New Town Burnout -- snoball
08 Monkey Riches
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita

I sorta bumped up snoball for "New Town Burnout" there but MaresNest gets whatever song he likes next otherwise.

Applesauce please!

Applesauce is the new Pumping Blood.

I'll allow temporary claims until MaresNest picks up a song specifically! Then we'll figure it out. MaresNest, say something ASAP here...

Can I do Father Time on Vol. 2?

Okay allowing for MaresNest here somewhere:

01 Moonjock
02 Today's Supernatural -- V79
03 Rosie Oh
04 Applesauce -- dog latin (conditional)
05 Wide Eyed -- Adam Bruneau
06 Father Time -- Z/S (conditional)
07 New Town Burnout -- snoball
08 Monkey Riches
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita

Awesome thanks, I like the sound of Moonjock.

cool i get to be on vol. 1 this time

Done! So we're at:

01 Moonjock -- MaresNest
02 Today's Supernatural -- V79
03 Rosie Oh
04 Applesauce -- dog latin
05 Wide Eyed -- Adam Bruneau
06 Father Time -- Z/S
07 New Town Burnout -- snoball
08 Monkey Riches
09 Mercury Man
10 Pulleys
11 Amanita

actually, i see that white chocolate cheesecake called "mercury man" before i did, so i'll do the one on the second disc.

That leaves five songs left to claim for Volume 2.

Get bent -- she changed to "Moonrock!" "Mercury Man" is still yours on 1.

Moonjock rather. But Moonrock works too.

w00t!

Are there track lengths for this or do we have free reign in that department?

Free reign, but I like the idea of some sort of formal requirement otherwise. Any suggestions?

all songs have to be wistful psychedelic examinations of childhood

i figured the formal requirement was that it bears a vague resemblance to actual AC tracks

Hmm. Monday night would be better.

Ok

just sent it over

About to send mine over too.

Ned me & chris got ours done tonight

Gonna give it a quick listen tomorrow morning & send it your way

I really tried to make a track that sounded how I imagine AC's new record to sound, but I just couldn't get it sounding quite icky enough, and it all went a bit Stars Of The Lid in the middle instead, sending over in a little while Ned.

ned i sent the MP3 your way -- i think i forgot some of the info tag on itunes though but i guess you will probably do them all the same?

All good. Again, I'll start sorting through everything properly tonight after work!

new youtube account has been created.

so glad you are unbanned in time for this gr80!

its a pretty busy week for me so i'm not making any promises, but i just wanted to be prepared should i have the opportunity to offer my services

looking forward to this, you guys

Just sent my one there. Animal Collective sampled the Grateful Dead on their last EP, so clearly the next step for Fake Animal Collective was to sample noted Dead influence and jam band faves Herman's Hermits. Twas nearly an instrumental - voice is shot with a throat infection, but had enough lemon, honey, and Merocaine to squawk something out. The cover above looks amazing. Looking forward to this.

Okay, am doing some sorting out now. To tide everyone over, Dan provided the lyrics for his "Pulleys" so a gift for you, the expectant listeners:

Take a break from being wiser

Don’t be in control tonight

When I’m here, you’ll find your eyes are

Seeing suffering with delight

I have all the things you need

To make you happy, satisfied

Just sit back and let me lead

Lose yourself to the ride

Magnify the force exerted

Let me take control

Follow me as I play with

The pulleys of your soul

Happiness is not an option

If I say it isn’t one

Every thought is by adoption

Something that I’ve already done

Taken to a lower level

Trusting me to see you through

People say I’m like the devil

But you know that is not true

(Don’t you?)

Magnify the force exerted

Let me take control

Follow me as I play with

The pulleys of your soul

Come to me, my little pet

Dance for me, my marionette

Tell me all your hopes and fears

Feed my lust with your sweet tears

You should know that I’ve decided

Things should get a little rough

When you bleed, I get excited

I know you can’t get enough

Questioning is not an option

If I say it isn’t one

Every thought is by adoption

Time for me to have some fun

Magnify the force exerted

Let me take control

Follow me as I play with

The pulleys of your soul

In terms of what I have received, this seems to be it:

So remaining contributors, get something in! I know a couple of people flat out dropped out so I don't think we're totally complete but we're close...

Also please reconfirm your nom de plumes of choice, otherwise I'll go with your ILX handles; I have a few of yours already, I realize.

Crap, life got away from me here. Sorry man, I didn't mean to be a flake.

OUT or something.

I am done, and sending this gesamtkunstwerk your way

so what are we gonna do with the missing tracks ?
do we all agree on the dogs cover (which is so great I want a t-shirt of it) ?

I could retrieve a couple of my instrumentals..

Feel free to send them along!

i'll take a look through my scrapheap this evening and see if there's anything polished enough to fill in for a missing track

does this need a track list / back cover? I can toss one together once there's a final list, assuming people actually are into the one I made or at least don't totally hate it or something

are we sure those missing will not show up ?
regarding the back cover I don't think there was one for the previous ILX volumes but why not improve the product !

ILX/Bucket had one, although you'd only know if you had a hard copy

I think it doesn't hurt to have backups that can plug holes; obv I think any claimed submissions that come in should have first dibs

Of course.

yes of course, but I meant, do we have news from those missing ? Ned said some had officially dropped out but the others ?
we want the truth about our MIAs !

Sarahel's is in and I think that was the last 'for sure' one at this stage.

I can't remember now, on LULU did I go by HI DERE or DJP

whichever one I used, please use it again

Will double check tonight.

Oh and just AlXTC for me, you can drop the "from Paris" !

sorry to ask this again but when is our release date ?

Kinda hoping for Wednesday at this point -- honestly if we don't get 'complete' tracklistings I'm not too bothered.

Having heard everything so far it's good fun!

Can't wait !

Ned, I could maybe cobble together something a la my sound effects track for 'Today's Supernatural' by the end of tomorrow - that seems to be the only track that doesn't have a version down. But if nobody else cares, then... uh, I guess I won't.

Sarahel has her version in so please contribute yours too if you'd like!

Aha, I didn't realise that one was hers - I'll see if I come up with anything, but I was more concerned about us having a version for each track, and if that's done then it's less urgent.

Hey Ned, instead of ZS please use vveinventvou for mine. thanks!

(those are double v's for the w, and v instead of y, as i plan on chiseling this name onto courthouses across the country in the near future)

I don't remember what I tagged mine but I would like it to be credited to KDT.

Thanks, will do!

(the full name obv not the initials. p sure I did tag it like that)

ned you can credit our to me & chris's full government names

"Joe and Joseph Josephfreson. Got it."

Okay, I'm going to call time on submissions as such, just so we can get this out the door. We have a 'complete' version for the first volume thanks to a ringer from DJP, plus most of the second volume, so we can call that the fake remix disc or something. Anyway! Final tracklisting:

--

MoonJock (Croydon Bass Mix) -- Karen D. Tregaskin
Today's Supernatural -- sarahell
Rosie Oh -- Mystery Meat
Applesauce -- Gavin, Leeds
Wide Eyed -- B-Boy Bualadh Bos (ecuador_with_a_c)
Father Time -- Charlie H
New Town Burnout -- (Matt and Chris's full government names)
Monkey Riches -- Scare Quotes
Mercury Man -- Grannykart
Pulleys -- ciderpress
Amanita -- AlXTC
Moonjock -- MaresNest
Rosie Oh -- Da Croupier
Wide Eyed -- Adam Bruneau
Father Time -- vveinventvou
New Town Burnout -- snoball
Pulleys -- DJP
Amanita -- Confounded

DJP's ringer track is credited to Mystery Meat, in that I assumed he would be pleased to have such a pseudonym.

Will post this here early tomorrow morning my time as a mediafire download.

hahaha perfecto

Anyway just completed my final proper listen on this thing -- very amusing/listenable. I think our LULU effort was one in a million but this is another fine contribution to the canon.
