I'm feeling, I'm feeling... Hang on, what's that?...

Ooo, cheeky!

Peace is the Law... War is a path... etc..

"This is the end, beautiful friend, the end..."

what if you all suggest the same song??

That is an interesting question.

Fortunately Barbelith is full of such diverse individuals that it hasn't happened yet.

Maybe it would be like Ready Steady Cook, where someone brings in a bag full of apples?

"Apple sauté, apple flambé, apple juice, apple pie, slap around the head..."

Although I think it would be more a case of remixing the song fourteen different ways and seeing who can be the most imaginative.

Also, any feeling of Otway love will resort in the police being called.

-

Also, I have a track for the War mix but not the peace mix. This should show what state of mind I am in currently. There Will Be No John Lennon.

-

Anyway, I'm going into town today to get the blank CD's, then I'm going to spend the afternoon sorting through all this, then I will post another update.

Feverfew: Also, I have a track for the War mix but not the peace mix. This should show what state of mind I am in currently. There Will Be No John Lennon.

As long as it's not that blood Cola endorsing "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony" song, over and over, I have no problem with the idea of having a "One Song" themed CD collaboration. Nice idea, I reckon. I'll go and post it in the "other" thread... in a bit.

Feverfew, again, nice one, comrade. I don't know if you're in the UK, but if you are could you let me know the how £ it costs for a new spool of CD's? I have ten spare, but I might need to use them before it's my turn to oversee one of the Barbe-mix-projects.

Oh, and in the midst of such mixey chaos, one might always remember,

"WE'RE DOOOOOMED!"

"DON'T PANIC!"

In case anyone was wondering; the last three songs are in hand and should be here by the weekend; I have the CDs and jewel cases (cheaper, it seems, to buy them separately) and, most importantly, I have a vague sense of ennui.

Too late to suggest a very stern bespectacled Tenth Doctor as cover art?

Okay, okay, okay, jeez.....

FFew, did you get my track/mp3?
 
 
Feverfew
16:26 / 28.09.06
Indeed!
 
 
Feverfew
20:16 / 28.09.06
Perhaps that was taking Brevity to be the soul of wit to a rather over-the-top extreme.

Update - twelve of fourteen tracks received. The last two should arrive over the course of this weekend, and I will spend Sunday putting everything together in some sort of order, then one day next week, sending out will happen.

Oh yes. It will happen.

Meanwhile, keep the scientific faith. Wait... What's that noise?

Dammit, Balthazar - how did you get out of your ca-
 
 
Feverfew
17:26 / 29.09.06
Update!

Thirteen of fourteen tracks are here and ready. The fourteenth should hopefully (everyone cross but one set of fingers, two is unlucky) be here tomorrow.

Once all the tracks are in I am going to put them into order; then I will see if our patient reservist's choice (thanks Kay!) will also fit in, then finalise the running order, then begin burning the CDs and addressing the envelopes.

Working plan is to send these out on my day off some time next week; but further updates will follow, mark my words.

Now, does anyone happen, just happen, to have a harpoon gun and a giant mesh net? Why, you ask? No reason. No reason at all.
 
 
Feverfew
16:49 / 02.10.06
Update;

Slight delay, I'm afraid. What I thought would be here Saturday is not here yet, but will hopefully be here by tomorrow. (Cryptic, much?)

More updates as and when, but for now, keep the (scientific) faith....

Wonderful to hear, Feverfew!

I´m sure, our project will turn out to be a 100% success, as long as Igor doesn´t forget to flip that switch on time.
 
 
Feverfew
17:57 / 02.10.06
Obscure reference time; Rarg, from the eighties;

"Flip the switch! Flip the switch!"

Anyway, I'm very happy with the way it's come out and I'm just slightly annoyed with the delay, because it's mostly on my part, unfortunately. Whoever picks up the reins for the next mix, I have one piece of very important advice that I'll share when it comes up.

Also, I think there's a pleasant surprise in store for a lot of people. But if I said what it was, it wouldn't be a surprise...

... you all did pick the same song!! and it was 'stairway to heaven'!!


will you post a track list later - say a month - when everyone who participated has had a while to savour the fruits of their arrrrduous toil? good idea, btw!
 
 
Feverfew
16:41 / 03.10.06
Might do, Astrojax, Might do.

Speaking of Stairway to Heaven, though, why is the word "glisters" not used more? As far as I'm aware the original Shakesperean was "All that glisters is not gold", and yet the 'lady' knows that 'all that glitters' is gold, according to Messrs. Page, Plant et al. And they're not the only culprits. Scoundrels and rapscallions, all.

I just like the word glisters, is all.

Anyway.


All
The
Tracks
Are
Here!


So I'm going to put them all in order and start burning CD's tonight and tomorrow. Using the Scientific Method.

Feverfew, you complete sweetheart, thanks for obtaining my track via *sources unknown*. I was, frankly, a bit crap.
 
 
Feverfew
18:35 / 03.10.06
It is nothing. Although my secret sources must stay just that... secret. No flying monkeys were... But I've said too much already.

I'm just burning the first trial copy to make sure that a) the burner works and b) the track order works. Then tomorrow I'll start up properly, most probably.

It's actually been more entertaining to bring all this together than I would have expected.

But then, once this is all done, don't forget that there is Voting! Yes, My Lab Partners, Voting!

And then Prizes! Most probably in time for a scientific samhain!

I promise all concerned that this has turned out to be a little more of a labour of love than I predicted, but that it's all good.

There's one slight, odd, hitch, in that one of the participants has unfortunately managed to get themself banned since this began - but all I can say is that a copy will still go out to the party concerned. It is sad, and unfortunate, but this seems to be the best way to do things.

More updates to follow.

A more comprehensive update;

Journal Entry of Philip Grance, Assistant to J.Robert Oppenheimer, July 15 1945

Professor Oppenheimer has been acting strangely ever since a young man in a button-down blue striped shirt drove out to the testing area yesterday, at Los Alamos, and handed him a vinyl recording. Prof. Oppenheimer was secretive as to the nature of the recording, and retired to his quarters for two hours, a singluar occurrence. Varied and strange noises were heard from inside his house, which could not be made out.

He then appeared for the evening meal yesterday slightly distressed. What was on that vinyl, we can only speculate. But he was heard by another laboratory assistant who had been shipped out here to utter "Science... Science Mix... Therapy... Collide... 'New Age Bullshit', among other confused ramblings. We were concerned as to his level of worry.

However, this morning, Prof. appeared bright and cheerful at breakfast, speculating on tomorrow's test. I will corner him later and politely ask about the vinyl record, as it is driving the rest of us crazy with speculation.


-

All the tracks are in place, and burning is ongoing as I find the time over tonight and tomorrow. I would hope to be posting these out on Saturday morning, although, disctinctly unscientifically, I would not want to jinx it.

Next update will most probably be post-posting...

... Or might have been. Anyone sense that I'm being very ambitious with the timings of this? Anyway. The last of the cd's is being burnt as we speak, (and not in a salem-witchy fashion).

Thank you for that, Mist.

The CDs are made.

The covers are prepared.

The envelopes are addressed.

All that awaits now is... The Sending.

Which will take place on Wednesday. Also, there will be a great revealment, mark my words, as to the longer timeframe; someone in the shadows will introduce themselves! But for now I thank you all for your patience.

I had to fight many urges to submit one of my things to it. Because, well, science.
 
 
Feverfew
14:58 / 11.10.06
Everything has been sent out today.

UK Lithers should have the cd by the weekend;

Worldwide Lithers should have it by the end of next week. Hopefully.

(Aside; why is it I want to say lithards rather than lithers? I think we're all mostly warm-blooded...)

Anyway. You all know the drill. Post here when you've received it, then when everyone has, voting commences!

Lithards? YIckes!
 
 
Feverfew
20:10 / 11.10.06
Oh... dear... Kay...

Although I supposed there had to be an Icke joke in there somewhere.

I don't know... "Lithers" makes it sound like mood-stabilising-drug addicts, "Lithards" makes it sound like internet reptiles... "Lithians" is too science-fiction...

Some nice choices here, i'll have to wait til i get back from work this eve to have a listen, but

Got mine too, and will be spinning the bugger this evening also.

LOVELY cover. Just showed it to one of my best friends (she guessed instantly which was mine!).
