I am waiting for Chout's input. He told me he's almost there. I gave finals today too. I'm done for 2/3 of the exams. Killer. I had to mix a version of EYE OF THE TIGER.

piece of cake. :)

Nic, should I pm you our data?

I did the bass (first take) today for our SS cover, and a gtr track, though I may go back and redo it... I should have my parts done by the end of the weekend, MAXXXXXXXXX!:D

Yep pm me everything max+chout, I still have to figure out the best way to make the tracks easily downloadable and set up contributors' profiles, I guess I'll need a couple days (maybe a bit more) to get everything going, your track will probably be the one we need to finish vol.1 's tracklist. If somebody else finishes in a "short" amount of time just pm me infos+link to the song.

ha ha , I kinda "robbed" a background from some site and now the blogpage looks better, yeah! danny go have a look, the url is still (mostly, I gave it to a couple boarders to have some feedback) secret, don't disclose it yet!
woah, great bump, huh?

Hah, stolen goods!

It looks great, my friend.

I finished my parts for Max and I's Screaming Skull, but forgot the recorder at the space dammit...I'll have it for you tomorrow nite Max!

No prob Chout, I'm still working on the site and stuff, plus I need to hear the song to decide the tracklist, rename and tag the files and up them.
On a side note, I still need some infos from ruefbomb, porkmarras and Everyneurotic. Pm me you lazy boys.

Okay, I started doing it now, recorded a draft version of it, but I'll still do a final one. I need to shape up my tone, its kinda scooped and it's kinda too loud for my mic so its starting to fuck up. Gotta get one part in time its kinda strange and out of place but i think i'll manage.

We still need a bass, so come on someone join.

alright maaaaaaaan! let's do this... can't wait to mix it. tomorrow it's final part of the exam... orals!!! :cool:

I've still got to do my version of She Is Not Alone, so I guess it'll be on Vol. 2. I'm having trouble procuring some quality recording equipment. if I don't have something better by the end of the week, I'll just record it to my cassete recorder and remove the noise with Audacity

I'm downloading CHOUT's trax. fucking PANDO is fucking slow.

Update for Max and I:
I recorded on the wrong drum traxx and redid my parts today...to be sent to max tonight...don't feel bad max, if I was paying more attention, I probably wouldn't have messed up, since I think you had sent me that other drum loop.

this is to prove we do care about getting this done, despite all of the fuss in the press. we don't rush things at all, no. that ain't true.

Sendin' tha stuff yr way, Max.

I am sooooooooo excited.

tell me about it.

Yayyyy, I'm kinda excited too. I like how the blog thing looks, actually I have some problems direct-linking the mp3s, I'll probably make a link to a page where you can just "right-click + save as" the files if I can't have it work properly on the blogspot page.

How do I get in on this tribute album? Haven't got time to read the whole thread now, I'll read it later, sounds interesting though.

There's everything you need to know right in the first post! :)
Choose a song, record it, send the link to danny himself, and you'll most likely end up on vol.2 . Just a quick resumme, we decided to put a "sort" of deadline that has nothing to do with time, but rather with "running time", we'll divide the submissions in 40-45 minutes "volumes". Vol. 1 is nearly completed (chout+max screaming skull should be the last for it), but there are a few guys working on their tracks, so a vol.2 will probably be in the works in a near future.

Oh, danny, if you had a tracklist in mind pm me/send a message with msn, so we can exchange ideas on the subject.

OK, cool. I'll do that.

Nic, awesum avatar man. Long live Purcell!!! Did you receive my pm? Chout should send one to you to, since I just listed his band's myspace to that info and probably there's more to be added (his personal page or the GOOD ENOUGH RECORDS)...
Chout also had to redo everything and I think this time we'll get the real deal done in about... 20 hours?

Keeping you posted.

Hey, yep, I got the pm. Still tweaking things on the site, I have some ideas but I suck using html so I need to proceed through tries and errors, but it's fun. As soon as I get your track, however, I'll up all the files so you guys can (yeaaaaah!) hear the tracks, then I'll prepare those little profiles with ilnks and stuff. Using IE you won't have problems dling the mp3s directly from the blogspot page, I'm experiencing problems trying to "right click+save" with firefox (any ideas on this, guys?)...So, to sum things up, songs will be up soon, all the little nifty things will be updated step-by-step in the next few days. Ok? Or you'd like to wait more and see the "perfectly tuned page"? naaaaaaaah, I say, listen to these songs and then care for the rest.
Oh, and that's Ron Gilbert, not Purcell ;).

okay, someone do a bass track for Mildred, doesnt matter who, just do it now!!!!

hey Nic all cool! I got the file almost ready, Chout has to listen to it and tell me his impressions. Can I send it over an email address? It's mp3 on 192 kbps. I have higher res if needed. And as for Gilbert + Purcell,

"Steve contributed to the background work and animation for several LucasArts adventure games in the early 1990s. The most popular of the games he worked on were the first two Monkey Island games."

Wiki strikes again! :)

Ill do it, where is it?

where's what? I'll give you the file with only drums that Neongod played, if you can be arsed to some noise shit at the end, and then I'll get the guitars down. I'll send it when I get home, dont have it now...

Yeah, I can be 'arsed' to lay down some shit, punk. I just 'can't be bothered' is all.

move on move on! Less talks, more work !!!

Cooool.
Send the file to nicfittest[at]gmail[dot]com

damn wiki ;) . But come on, the creator was Ron Gilbert, no matter how much purcell "contributed to the background work and animation". I win. HA!
Chout pm me/mail me the links and maybe a pic you want me to up in your "profile".

Ha ha, _slavo_ always complains :p, but he's one of the very few chosen to give me some feedback on the blogsite. I promise I'll up all the songs as soon as:
1. Danny sends me the tracklist he's thinking about.
2. Chout+max send their track.

3. Buzzo, guess you+chout+neongod will end on vol.2 , unless everything goes REALLLLLLYYYYY fast.

Got the last song for vol one.
Question for all you guys involved:
I think I'll leave the files just like they are, no "normalization" to make the volume even on all tracks and stuff, ok?
Now I'll just put the tracklist together, tag the files and up them In a few hours you will all have the vol.1 mp3s available, for the finely tuned site it will take a bit longer, but have faith. Mkay?
Danny, if you can come on mns, thanks.

sounds cool to me. If you need help to do a proper master / normalize session for all of the files involved, count me in.

I'm upping the archive with all the songs on badongo, so you guys will have a link to all the things while I take my time putting together the "site", I'm adding a few links on there, for now just one for each contributor (some of you have more than one) as soon as I finish preparing the "profiles" I'll add there all the infos + image if needed. Plus, I still have to work on the "real" cover , I added a little temporary one in the zipped folder. As soon as I finish upping it to badongo, I'll up song by song on my webspace, so the files will be donwloadable directly from the blogspot page, and I will add a player to "preview" the tracks (think I'll reencode them in a more streaming-friendly format) on the site too. YEAH! ;) . Lots of things to "tweak" , but eventually everything will be fine and GREAT, keep the faith, ha ha!

Oh, max it would be great to have all the files "properly" normalized, actually... guess I'll wait for the "definitive" version before putting them in the site or giving the archive link to the "wide audience" of the board? Any input/comments on this are welcome.

...Well, I put the link to the archive on there, so here we go...
Sonic Youth Gossip Tribute Albums Blogspot page Grand Opening!
as I said, some more nice things will be added in the next few days, till then
comments are welcome, paypal donations are more then welcome. ha ah.

It looks great nic! killer work! I'm down for that. It would be great to have this one turned into a sticky...

BTW if we can't get official support on this, I think we should just get together the $$$ for a .com site and put everything in there. Just my proposal.

Yeah baby!

We should all give our infinite thanks to nicfit for getting the blogspot work done and uploading all of the files to the internet matrix. He's done a hell of a lot of work.

that is awesome, its taking so long to download, btw

good job everyone.

I'll be taking so long to download because about 3497249752 people are eagerly downloading the sonic goodness right now.

I updated the first post of this thread, if you can all check it out.
