The ILX Christmas compilation is still on!

Believe it or not.

We have a number of submissions in place -- let me know if you still want in! And we need cover art!

Blimey, that was quick!

Crüt promises me that he has been working on our track. I don't know if I believe him.

remind me the deadline?

It was going to be December 1 but given the temporary shutdown that seems ridiculous. Let's aim for December 10.

still want to contribute. mine might be short. and terrible.

Surely the temporary shutdown means that people had more time to be hard at work recording. Yes, I am impatient.

still want to contribute. mine might be short. and terrible.

That's the spirit. I'm sure I can manage something short and terrible too.

OK, I've realised I already have something that could be suitable, what do I now?

From the original thread:

And yes before anyone complains we can change the title, we just needed something for now.

Deadline November 30th, no limitations, originals, covers, whatever. MP3, AIFF, WAV, whatever format is best (I use Apple, FWIW), file size not an issue. E-mail files or links to me at ned at kuci dot org when you're done. We'll need cover art as always. Post if you're in.

Ta

bump.

Yes, sorry, busy couple of days here. Thanks to folks who have sent in things recently!

Repeat it again -- COVER ART. Someone do something!

I dunno if J3ff is still on here but here is the mariah carey song just waiting for some
cookie monster vocals:

Well, if he isn't: http://speedy.sh/tcHQn/XmasLouLou.mp3

revbump.

great vox, MarkG! i'm dreaming of a whitehouse xmas...

4 days left!

Is it too late to sumbit?

um, no...

Gotta say, Paul, that's one bemusing post in context.

2 days.

So stoked for this.

Getchyer final contributions in -- and if nobody's doing artwork, you're leaving it in my hands. Be warned.

mine & emil.y's will be coming soon.

I'll need to review everything tomorrow to make sure I have whatever band names people want in place.

Okay, all tracks received and I'll have this up and ready here in a couple of days (busy times w/holidays and work).

yay!

""

Neither ignored nor forgotten, but last night was derailed and tonight I might be busy helping out a friend's family (she's going through some elaborate surgery today). So probably Wednesday...

*bump bump buuuuuump*

I might actually be able to do this tonight. Maybe possibly perhaps.

And behold!

More of a compilation EP but hey.

that is not the elf with wound track I submitted I don't think!

no "Xmas loulou" (link above)?

for one thing it's supposed to be 9 minutes and 42 seconds

I think it's a mix.

(my orig track isn't 21 secs but hey)

Is there a downloadable zip?

well, none of the track sounds anything like what was submitted.

how strange

I think there's been a mistake.

;_;

Wow that IS weird. Maybe this can be the promo clip version. :-D Okay folks, send me replacements/proper tracks and I'll correct them tonight. Probably shouldn't've tried to do this at the end of the year when I was crazy busy!

Mine is correct!

Right, so my original e-mail, I shall retrieve it and resend.

The other track as above, I'm not sure I have dominion over its release as I am merely the 'guest vocalist', but I shall send it regardless.

SHORT-LY!

xp Mine is correct also. It's 'snoball' with a lower case 's' though.

hope it's not too late to add another one (sent)
xp, you sure do have dominion (pray mariah carey discovers nothing)

Okay an update here on things -- so I have the proper Elf With Wound set up as well as the Mark/Phil Mariah thing but I'm still missing Mark's full "Xmas Gifts"...

Hopefully now received happy.

Indeed and now reuploaded so once again:

Should now be ten songs total and hopefully everything's finally settled! I'll be creating a YSI link for direct download as well shortly.

And here we go:

Thanks Ned! Listening now. DJP's and Tom D's are both really pretty.

It's all pretty and sparkly so far. I'm liking it. Though I have realised that both KRAMPUS and GÄVLEBOCKEN are missing as subjects of any songs. We'll have to do another one next year to rectify this. At least me and crüt shoehorned a bit of my obsession with Nuclear Winterval into the comp.

currently playing some of this on outloud

It has been hampered by the ILX outage, true.

We should do a 'revised reissue' next year (might actually find my 'session tapes' and remix It for next year.

The loulou track should be 'philip nunez and friend' really, soz all.

If Bernard Snowy's story is true, can he post a link? If it's not true, he'd better go and make it so.

bump.

This was my track from IMM Song Challenge week 2

it's true I swear! even the part about the listener writing in!! but sadly it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and I don't have a recording (I think this was just before the radio station started digitally archiving all broadcasts?)

I can tell you that the next actual song to emerge from the glorious echoing wreckage was Elvis's version of "Silver Bells", because it was the most pleasantly cheesy christmas song I could think of and I am addicted to dramatic contrasts

We'll have to 're-issue' this next year with more tracks and remixes and so forth....
