Smilefight!
Smilefight!
My new guilty pleasure is Lily Allen. I can't get enough of that gorgeous voice of hers. But what's really cool is on the CD, they let you remix two of the songs. So I'm organizing a fight to remix her song "Smile." I posted the source audio, and you'll have a month to do it. Deadline is May 1. No exceptions, no extensions. I'll make a poll, and whoever gets the most votes gets a prize.
Rules:
- The remix must feature Lily Allen's vocals (though they can be chopped up or rearranged). You can use as little or as much of the other tracks as you want.
- PM me a link to the song. You have to host it yourself. If you can't, and it's really good, PM me and maybe I'll host it for you.
- Listen to the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZyTOROlo9E
- Get the source at http://www.csehak.org/src/
- The original BPM is 95.5; if you set your DAW to that, the clips should loop nicely.
- Submit as many different remixes as you like.
Deadline:
May 1st (but anything that comes in before May 8th will be allowed)
Prizes:
1st prize: Borat DVD
2nd prize: Mr. T Talking Electronic Keychain
3rd prize: Whoopee Cushion
Anyone who participated in my Lostfight will tell you, I'm good for it.

Yeah, I just heard Lily Allen for the first time early Feb and loved her right away. I don't normally like pop music, but she has a nice quality about her and a great band.
Although a good idea for a fun contest, I don't want to commit to this yet because I'm really busy right now. But I would like to grunge her up a bit and dirty up that big band sound (my answer to all music). Maybe things will change after I see what we have to work with.

Re: Smilefight!

Going up as we speak, should be finished by 10:00 EST. (It's 100 mb.) Point your browser to http://www.csehak.org/src/ and download the zip file. They're WAVs, BTW.
It occurs to me I should check my bandwidth limits...

Stupid webserver, not listing directory contents by default. Try it again, it should work now.
Also, set your DAW to 95.5 BPM and everything should fall into place. I trimmed each clip to start and end at the beginning of a bar.

Thanks Blue! I just checked though, and it looks like I get 250 gigs a month! (Which is pretty cool for $4.) Shouldn't be a problem.
Holy shit everybody, I've already got an entry submitted, and it's great!

Yup, you could've Googled it:

Man, I wish Eminem released an a capella version of "97 Bonnie & Clyde." That'd make for an interesting (if fucked up) juxtaposition.

Apparently they have more than one music vid for smile.
I love the old 80's FX they use on the vox and instruments. That must be what attracted me to her and her band in the first place.

edit:hmmm, I just went back to listen to show you what I meant, and you're right. Maybe it was the bleed over sound on the adlibs, I'm not sure. Never mind.
edit 2: OK, I just remembered where I felt the old school echo. It is in the Smile vi you posted up yahh ^^^
The part where she says, "when you were fucking the girl next door, what'd you do that for (ECHO)".
