Or, much like this one, don't call it "Vol. 2" just make it the next in the line, with a different idea than the "Going to ___" songs behind it.


ETA: Speaking of which, what are we calling this one?

Whatever happens with the extra tracks, be it reassigning them or some kind of collaboration thing, I'd like to get in on that too.

Also, Nigel, I totally forgot about the questions! I'll have them to you today.

Here's an idea: doing a second volume where everyone collaborates, so at least two tMG forum members per song. Perhaps doing a random draw thing as to who you'll be assigned to work with, as well as the song you'll be doing.

i really like this idea, but as far as we've gotten so far, i think what might happen is that we are going to take the submissions we've gotten thus far and release it as the first part, and release a second part later. this will give the late-bloomers the freedom to finish what they're doing and contribute but still have something to be able to pass around at dates on the upcoming tour. dual-contributee contributions can definitely be something that takes place in the "second volume". we're definitely open to feedback concerning this, as we all want to get something done ASAP.

thanks,

this is something else that's been coming up frequently 'behind the scenes'. since we are contemplating two volumes especially, any input is appreciated.

If anyone wants any accordion parts recorded for any collab, let me know.

mostly done minus vocals... some stuff is a little arhythmic, but I hope it's okay. torn between enthusiasm and sheer terror; I've never recorded anything before and it's rough to say the least. but we'll see!

So is any re-assigning going to happen soon? I get the idea behind splitting the thing up to give more time, but people who've had months already and never responded to nutopia once are no sure thing to be doing so in another month. Maybe we should try to get what we can onto this one in the meantime.

word. If people that are slacking aren't at least on here justifying their lateness, as myself and a couple other did/are doing, then I'm pretty sure they're just scrapping the idea... I'm about to start on a few more without even knowing. call me Nostradamus, but thinking ahead my be the key to actually completing this project. if possible can we get an update of songs that have yet to be completed?

I'm by no means in charge of this project, so I can't really make major decisions as to how we should proceed. But I do know that over 50% of the total songs have been submitted. I suggested that we reorganize things, release the first half of the collection right away, and reassign the remaining songs. I haven't heard back from either Danielle or Chris (nutopia) regarding this idea...

So I'm making an executive decision to go ahead and post the list of songs. This is the most up-to-date copy that I have. Have at it, friends.

do I have to hit you over the head with it?

What happened to Mr Glass? He posted a few songs in the covers thread around the time this was underway. It's really surprising he didn't submit one.

I was really looking forward to hearing his Bridlington!

For this cover I literally went to Wisconsin.

oy. my "Utrecht" is all done with the notable exception of vox. will be tossing it your way before you know it! scout's honor.

I could imagine theres anywhere from 5 to 10 people that have completed their songs on that list, that just haven't shown up in an update. I for one come up as incomplete but i have given my song and been confirmed by nutopia last week. as far as executive decisions do go, danielle and and nutopia: if you read this, we could really use a recent update and dare I say song reassigning. At any rate, we could save up to a month and reassign songs NOW and give the others around a week or so to finish, before it becomes ours. We could simply draw names out of a hat again, of people who are willing to do another cover. we were aiming for mid/late January and were headed right into march already. time to start cracking the whip.


EDIT::: I think I'm just personally going to cover queens for myself, in my own time... and if you need it by the time you want it from the other person, you could just have mine. I wanted queens to begin with. but again, that list isn't too too recent, so for all I know it may already be completed

Whew, "Going To Georgia" made it!

Why's everyone in this thread a f***ing Mountain Goats fan?!

Hey Blankwave, I covered Going to Queens, and I've sent it to Nutopia. Not quite sure why it hasn't shown up on the list, but it has been handed in.

EDIT: Also, hi everyone.

EDIT 2: I actually sent the track in before I sent the description, so I'm a little concerned it hasn't come up on the spreadsheet. I've had quite a few things not go through lately.

I think we could keep waiting indefinitely and never reach completeness; I just want to hear people's songs already. Plus the spring tour is coming up pretty soon, if physical distribution at shows is going to happen. I'd say that giving a final cut-off point of, say, one week's time, wouldn't be untoward given that the original tentative deadline was a month ago.

Put me in the "Release what we have now; reassign other songs as collaborations" category.

Also, does anyone have a clever name for this project? Last I checked we were lacking, and that will help this get out the door.

The name that Nutopia, Nigel and I were kicking around was "Going to Zoop" since that is where the proceeds would be going in the end.
Now, that being said, I have a few hesitations since not everyone will get to go to Zoop and I don't want this to seem like some sort of exclusive east coast club.

What do you guys think? HWNTMG: Going to Zoop
