Ha! This is great, party-in-your-bedroom-cuz-we-ripped-off-the-kitchy-80s stuff. 3:28 minutes of pure joy. This video is just the best...

what else do you expect from the mightly Shynola?! is the sign of a good video when it makes you like the song more or even think the song is better than it probably really is? well all i know is the video is a million times better than the song (as with many other songs) and Shynola are gods

four months pass...

revive!

hearing this a lot - on Radio 1 for example, have come to love the track itself a lot more but perhaps this is just the influence of the video

do you think the track itself is good?

It's cheesy as hell of course. But somehow, after all those months of being overplayed to death it still sounds fun. I doubt that'll be the case with Lemon Jelly "Nice Weather For Ducks"...

i hated 'nice weather for ducks' from the moment i heard it! why isnt anyone else talking about Junior Senior tho?

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 29 January 2003 17:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

The Djosos Krost remix has a slightly better drumtrack, but otherwise quite similar - I used it in my 2nd yearmix. But what is there to talk about - two dodgy looking Danish producers, very campy and a great video, that's pretty much everything.

ha, thats a lot more than the subjects that generate 300-post threads sometimes

They were fantastic on ToTP on Friday (incidentally, it was the best ToTP in living memory)- like Orlando, if they had been forced to earn a living on the European cabaret circuit for 20 years.

Yeah just downloaded it, very good. Is the album good? Kind of like a big beat Disco Tex.

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 10 March 2003 14:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

i heard the album suffers from 'samey syndrome' and they spend it trying to make every other track sound like 'move your feet' - i doubt this makes them any worse than Andrew WK in this respect tho

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 10 March 2003 14:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

i love it!

The album's great - another early summer record!

When I was recently up at Resonance FM, Edwin Pouncey was on before me and he was playing cuts off the Disco Tex album (hurdehur 30 years' pseudo-camp ironic distance but Resonance shd be playing J Senior NOW and it should be the lead review in the next Wire if I had anything to do with it which I don't, sadly). But yes, definitely worth a Mister CD tenner.

― Marcello Carlin, Monday, 10 March 2003 15:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone confirm to me that I did just imagine/dream Ian Duncan Smith choosing a Disco Tex and the Sex-O-Lettes cut on Desert Island Discs?

No Disco Tex. But the song by Suzy Lyon - who I think his sister - was absolutely fantastic! Like the Young Marble Giants or something!

Hooray it is I who is mad and not the world.

(I mean Junior Senior, not Ian D-S's DIDs)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 10 March 2003 17:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm not so sure about it, it's good but not great, the voice reminds me of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers which is offputting.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 March 2003 20:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

i just can't get over the video - thats enough for me, just having the song being associated with it makes me like the song

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 10 March 2003 20:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is wonderful!! Wish I could see the video. I wonder if it'll be a hit at all in America? Oh, and you HAD to mention the RHCP thing, Ronan, damn you. I'm trying not to hear it.

VIDEO =HERE

This show was grate! they were evidently quite proud of "Move Your Feet" as they told us its current chart placement right before they did it, though it was atypically discoish, everything else was a little meaner.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 11 March 2003 17:57 (twenty-one years ago) link

Meaner like how, Tracer? Like "Where's Your Head At"? Or like, "Give It Away" or "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe", or something?

Thanks for the link, Nick, but it didn't work for me. Must be some Mac thing.

― Arthur (Arthur), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 06:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

were it anything like whatever "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" sounds like I'd be a groupie already! best song title ever by FAR! mmmmmmmm Where's Your Head At is closer, but they're a lot more rock n roll than that. the guy who plays guitar can do an amazing husky almost-blown howl that's a dead ringer for Lennon - they did a mashup at the end - "Push It" and "Twist and Shout" - and his "shake it up baby now" was SUPER-spooky; the guitar parts are fast and dirty and can sound like metal or almost thrash; most everything they played was more aggressive and restless and up-tempo than "Move Your Feet"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 06:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

also i want to stress to you how fucking tight they were. their type of sound is loose let's-go party music, but they were all expertly on-point. one time the guitar player fucked up, ONCE, for like 1/2 a second; if you were a music-hed it was pretty obvious but it was nothing terrible and nothing was stopping them last night - my point isn't that they fucked up but that i NOTICED! can you imagine going to a rock show and noticing the one time somebody momentarily slipped up! that's tight! also NOBODY sat around tuning fucking ANYTHING! it CAN be done!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 12 March 2003 06:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Album of the year so far!

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 17 March 2003 17:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

heh, everyone talking about a big cheesey house record for once and I don't like it, fucking typical!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 March 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Consolation for Tastemaker Ronan - same time I bought JS I finally found a copy of Our House In Montmartre!

― Tom (Groke), Monday, 17 March 2003 17:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

wahey! it's good old cd alright. obviously now you can feel the dj falcon la mouche remix vibe.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 17 March 2003 17:44 (twenty-one years ago) link

nine years pass...
