A New Fan Compilation Project - wpghipfan - 06-11-2007

Hey folks...

I've been in discussions with Chris on this project, and I'd like to propose it to the valued members of the Hipbase.
My compilation idea is inspired by the HipStory section of thehip.com. What if we had a compilation of favorite versions of live songs chosen by Hipbase members, with added introductions recorded by the actual person who chose the song? The introduction must include your Hipbase username (and/or your real name; that's optional), and could include reasons why you like that particular version, a road trip story relating to that particular show or a chance meeting with the band, or maybe you just love the recording or energy of the band, maybe a particular Gord rant....most importantly, though, at the end of the intro, name the song, the date, and the venue of the show. For example: "This is Courage, from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, December 3rd, 2000". Best if you were actually at the show that you picked your song from, but not at all necessary. Now, for the vocal recording: if you have the means to do it yourself, great! Do so, in .wav or .flac format, and upload it to Chris' FTP. If you have the song that you chose on your hard drive, upload that as well. If you have no means of recording your intro, I'll do it for you. Simply PM me your intro text, and I'll record it for you. If you don't have your favourite song on your hard drive, we'll provide it for you. So here's how it will work:
1. Starting today, PM me with your favorite live version of a song. One pick per person please. First to PM me gets the song of their choice. If someone PM's me with a song that has already been chosen, they will get a reply asking to choose another song. Either way, getting the song you chose or not, you will get a reply from me.
2. Once your reply has been received, record your intro. Once THAT is done, PM me again telling me that it's done, and I will reply with the login and password to Chris' specially set-up section of his FTP. If you have no means of recording your intro, then reply after you have received your song confirmation with the text of your intro.
IMPORTANT: Please name your intro audio file in this format:
tth2000-01-01-USERNAME-SONG_TITLE.FLAC
Insert the corresponding date after the "tth"
3. Upload your audio intro and your song to the FTP, and I'll take care of the rest.
THere is no cap to the amount of members that can submit entries. ONE SONG PER PERSON ONLY PLEASE. The entire compilation, when edited and finished, will appear on the HipTracker for all to enjoy.
OK, start listening to your boots, and PM me with your choice! Try to put your song choice, and which show it's from, in the subject line of your PM.

It would make a great road trip CD, hearing Hipbase members' favorite live songs, and to actually hear the person THEMSELVES give their reasons as to why they like it. I think it would give a personal touch to a unique fan compilation.

Cheers!

And for those without the means/know-how to do torrents, I'll put the compilation on thehundredthmeridian.com for web download.

Choosing one is going to be hard... But I will try my best!
This should perhaps be an annual thing if this all goes right.
Frig, what a kickass idea.
Touché boys, touché. I'm definetly in and I'll whip something up.

Wow, fantastic idea! I will definitely be interested in participating, though I don't have the means to record my contribution directly... I guess I can live with someone reading my intro for me. Rory, I will definitely PM you soon.

- worldpeace - 06-12-2007

This is a real good idea.

- wpghipfan - 06-12-2007

Thanks for all the encouragement on this project, folks. It needs participation from quite a few people in order to work!

Great idea...so many to choose from...this might be worse than the Hip 64.

- Billy - 06-14-2007

Great idea Rory...I hope the response is good thus far. I'll get something to you hopefully this weekend.

Just a quick update, folks. So far, I have five people contributing.

I'm all ready to go, Rory - Where do I need to upload the tracks to? The link in the first post doesn't seem to work.
