Simian Mobile Disco - Attack Decay Sustain Release

christ how much does cheap booze cost in that socialist nightmare you call a country?

Arranging hi-fis on trolleys and managing circulation systems and creatig content for library plasma screens is buying me a house. Writing about music bought me some headphones.

damn u people i wanted to snigger at LJ's post re 'not liking KOC'

re fatal booze, bottle of Windowlene is only about £1.89

i never pegged dom for a booze snob

Wow. Non snobbier.

i'm surprised you got the whole KOC thing, stevem. it's mentioned once as an in-joke on a facebook group description, truly this is stalking internet knowledge retention at its most acute.

online music writing DOES occasionally change something, viz. NS' 65DOS revelation. plus, i wouldn't have half the music i do if it weren't for reviews!

he still thinks online music reviews have the power to change the world

Nicholas knows what's up. You can't go around wearing a scarf and then drink any old shit, kills the image.

Tomorrow night I'll have a ten-year-old rioja.

I'm gonna go to that poncey as shit cocktail bar on Kings Road where they serve "ethically sourced" spirits next week.

It's Mayweek and I can't drink booze because I'm on penicillin for severe tonsilitis, now how crap is that?

I'm calling Dom as a cognac drinker. It's good stuff.

you are funny little men, you lot

we learned it by watching you, dad

OK that last little exchange is all kinds of weird.

nick srsly stop with this bourgeois "ten year-old rioja/hand-sewn headphones" bullshit, bro.

Admittedly that's a cheap bottle and my less-expensive headphones...

haha. excellent work w. the orbital poster.

i have sony phones, sipping on lean.

I bet Nick secretly fills his wine glass up to the top. And pours as soon as he's opened the bottle.

Hahahahaha; my girlfriend hates how little I pour into a glass at a time.

this thread is more ILE than ILM

i.e. it's vaguely disturbing and fully incomprehensible?

surely we're splitting hairs about the boards at this point in that case

too chummy. come on, this is supposed to mean something, you're fighting for your generation's soul here.

baja thinks that online music forums have the power to change the world

he is the small cat

umm.
no talk of the extra disc that comes with the initial release of this album. the cover gives no tracklisting of the remixes.
are they crap, or should i be getting the limited version for more goodness ?

i bought the album because of this thread.

it's OK. it's not given me the immediate OMGZ steamrollering that i got from 'cross', but a good few tracks i can see becoming favourites.

wow, that stylus review is on some next level of idiocy. NS be kicking against the Machine, maaan. i mean, i'm certain (i'd like to see some hard proof already, fuck this kaffeklatsch shit) more people listen (and dance) to SMD/Justice/... than minimal or whatever irrelevant coccoon-like form dance gatekeepers like to retreat to.

also, fuck an audiophile. nick, are you absolutely sure you don't hear any depth or detail or whatever compared to other dance stuff? or are you just hallucinating due to some OMG THEY CAME UP IN INDIE POO POO UNWASHED UNDISCERNING MASSES HACK HACK kneejerk reaction? plz let me know.

see ILM passim

that's what i'm seeing. its like groundhog day. and anyway, sorry about these outbursts. i just thought nick was a bright lad and was above this kind of lame strawman-burning. my world is falling down here.

seeing=saying

i can sympathise with Nick's review quite a bit myself, even tho I like the odd SMD thing (but prefer Justice)

omg wait i just saw this:

It didn’t just get me into music outside of guitars and gripes; it completely changed my worldview. The saving grace of a seventeen-year-old shithead.

indie guilt-tripping much? 17 is laaate teens, btw.

i mean, i'm certain (i'd like to see some hard proof already, fuck this kaffeklatsch shit) more people listen (and dance) to SMD/Justice/... than minimal or whatever irrelevant coccoon-like form dance gatekeepers like to retreat to.

Maybe where you live.

well i dunno jim, where do you live?

i can see how you might think no one cared about minimal if you only went to indie nights in crappy dives or some shit

Well minimal isn't hugely popular where I live but even so the biggest minimal night is still far bigger than the biggest indie-dance night (Villalobos plays bigger venues than Ed Banger).

But you know, some things are more popular in some places than they are in others and you'd have to be a fool to state "no-one dances to this shit anyway" about any kind of music without some in-depth knowledge of global nightlife.

i know right? even in london, which is where smd and a lot of people in this scene are based...they play fabric and so on occasionally, but villalobos, allien, ananda, mayer et al are the bigger nights. and a sjim says, this isn't even taking into account global minimal popularity!

don't see the connection...

tsk, i thought we'd established that measuring a scene's popularity by club attendance/queue length was as silly as measuring it by record sales.

I hoped we'd established that a scene's popularity is moot in discussing the merits of said scene but maybe I'm too much of an optimist.

i wuz gonna say, like

bonus disc tracklisting:

1. I Got This Down (Instrumental Version) 4:10
2. It's The Beat (Dub for Annie Mac) 6:36
3. Hustler (Club Version) 6:36
4. I Believe (SMD Space Dub) 6:10
5. Hot Dub 6:46
6. Wooden (Uncut)

i've not heard it. i've not heard the album, either, though due to this thread i'm considering it.
