Was this really James Murphy (or some other DFA guy)?
I think the DFA bands have gotten better and better.

Mr. Snrub is is right, but the older records have the power of so much nostalgia behind them (already!)
― myndbloom, Thursday, 23 July 2009 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
pulled out the HOJL 12" the other day and played the morgan geist remix (which i dunno why, but i'd never listened to before) and it's pretty hot.

No way is "WAYUH" better than "House of Jealous Lovers"

yeah this song is great

it is, but I have no desire to listen to it anymore
― Rostam Batmang (The Reverend), Friday, 24 July 2009 05:35 (fourteen years ago) link
Still listen to those DFA Compilation #1 and #2 collections a few times a year. Really great all around - LCD, Black Dice, Juan Maclean, Delia and Gavin/Black Leotard Front, the Rapture, Liquid Liquid, etc.

Isn't a little early to be having DFA nostalgia guys?
― hipster brünoff (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 24 July 2009 13:27 (fourteen years ago) link
man, you guys remember Siltbreeze and lo-fi? Remember when everyone was twittering about Condo Fucks? I love the early 09s!
7 years is a long time
― julien schNAGL (s1ocki), Friday, 24 July 2009 13:29 (fourteen years ago) link
i think the real argument should be that since DFA isn't "hot omg meme" label anymore, people have been ignoring the good stuff they've been putting out: Shocking Pinks, Syclops, et al
― hipster brünoff (Whiney G. Weingarten), Friday, 24 July 2009 13:30 (fourteen years ago) link
but we weren't arguing we were just like hay this was a good song

it is a good song.

I used to write for Idolator. I posted everything before anyone.I was there at the River Room in Harlem for the Merriweather Post Pavillion listening session.I was there at Brooklyn's Masonic Temple when Dan Deacon debuted his 15-piece live band.I woke up naked in a warehouse in Brooklyn in 2008.

this was v iconic but house of jealous lovers was really amazing mixed in with all the shit that people might have called electro or whatever before the name became tainted, it was so physical. no rock record will ever have that impact again.

But I was there! I was transcribing the lyrics to this song before anybody else did!
― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 25 July 2009 03:14 (fourteen years ago) link
before house of jealous lovers and before electroclash most people used the term electro to describe actual electro-funk i.e. Cybotron and Bam as well as the post techno electro revivalists like DMX Krew, Jedi Knights, Le Car, Drexcyia etc.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 25 July 2009 04:22 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah no of course dan, but you know what I mean by using it to mean that stuff too, I dunno, like in that interzone where people were playing hojl and lots of other dfa stuff and then stuff like black strobe etc mixed together...there wasn't really a name for it I guess. I really loved that period of time.
now it's like a sort of maxed out version of that sound is the biggest thing on the planet.
