IRCMT 2008 (Day 15)

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Hi all, I have this bonus song that Owl recorded a little while ago and I think it’s great and you need to hear it! As B said right below, we’re doing an early version of this mix tape for our wedding; feel free to make suggestions or do something yourself!

Additionally, I really am someday going to get a wrap-up post for 2008 (I know, we’re almost half-way through already) and I am still going to print some covers for this. I mean, I have them already and it’s just a matter of settling on a design and breaking the gocco out and pressing them. In any case!

Enjoy!

IR Collective Mix Tape: Wedding Addition.

Monday, May 11th, 2009

(The title is [sic], i.e. an intentional malapropism.)

We are soliciting submissions for a mid-season Infinite Regress Collective Mix Tape, dedicated to Tsal and Owl on the occasion of their wedding. There is a possibility that we’ll be pressing the songs onto vinyl, but we’re only allowed 36 minutes total, so the sooner you submit, the more likely your song will appear on the vinyl. We’ll collect all of the songs and release them as .mp3’s as well, so submit as much as you want.

Some “rules”. Unlike the year-end IRCMT’s, you have your choice to cover whatever song you want. In fact, if you want, submit your own song. It doesn’t matter. The deadline to get on the vinyl is July 15, since I’ll need to gather the songs and send them off to the pressing company. They require something like a month to do the testing and pressing and such, which is why the hard deadline. You can certainly submit songs all the way up to August 29, if you want. Really, just do whatever. I’m cool with that. Preferred format is .mp3, but really I can deal with anything. In fact, you can even send me a Garageband file, and I will gladly mix it down for you. Finally, if you plan on submitting a song, and if it is a cover, and if you want it to possibly go on the vinyl, you have to tell me what song it is sooner rather than later. There are some licensing issues we have to deal with if we want to use other people’s songs, particularly if these songs were released on major labels. I suspect that any songs released on independent labels are fine, covered over Collective Commons or something like that (or perhaps because they don’t have money for litigation – that kind of thing).

Let me know what you’re planning on doing in the comments or by email: “pedenb”, gmail account.
