Yeah Tim what did you make of it? The Sydney set was brilliant. Was very impressed by his scarf-wearing capabilities (it musta been HOT up there.) Not so impressed with low attendance though.

― jon dale, Monday, 5 September 2005 08:59 (eighteen years ago) link

my mum's knitting me a total 3 scarf!

also: um, anyone want to throw out sad trainspottery what-he-played stuff out there? i've been k-piecemeal w/my microhouse &c listening lately & any chance to get myself up to date at the last minute'd be fabulous.

― etc, Monday, 5 September 2005 09:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i wasn't doing so much of the trainspotting but the mayer/aguayo "slow", mayer mix of "happiness"... umm... (it's all a blur... i flew into sydney earlier that day after a morning of marking essays, and had already gone to see birchville cat motel et al...) highlight for me was nathan fake's "dinamo" - shivers down the spine.

His set in Melbourne was surprisingly straight-down-the-line tech-house (neither Speicher banging nor soft fluffiness and melancholy). The only tune I can remember recognising right now is the Dominik Eulberg remix of "Cosmic Sandwich".

I find it near impossible to remain energetic for sets that begin at 2am after working all week 8:30 - 6:30, so it meant that my enthusiasm was lower than it would otherwise have been - I ended up leaving at 3:30 rather than hang around depressed with my own inability to dance. It sounded good though!

I wish it was on NOW I was just dancing like a live Jesus!

― A Viking of Some Note (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 September 2005 13:14 (eighteen years ago) link

PS Tim I read somewhere that the same ppl that brought Superpitcher down are also bringing Matthew Dear and Mathew Jonson out to Oz. Good news, but no-one in Adelaide is game so it looks like I will be doing a lot of travelling in the next while.

― jon dale, Monday, 5 September 2005 13:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah Mathew Jonson is playing Earthcore I think! But is doing side shows in Melb and Sydney. Sign ov the times.

More evidence: The local dance music boards were bursting with people saying "OMG Superpitcher!!" And when I was last in Mighty Music Machine they were playing Alcachofa and talking about those Villalobos pill overdose pics, then the guy behind the counter tried to upsell me the last Lawrence album, and then we started talking about Steve Barnes and My Best Friend.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 5 September 2005 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

"irre"! "knartz iv"! v.astute w/nz's general election next week "mandate my ass"! wb's "baby's on fire" (w/dance routine!)! finished w/the m83 remix! &c! I was an emotional wreck by the end . . . almost a religious experience, &c.

― etc, Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:51 (eighteen years ago) link

So other than Today and "Tell Me About It" on Total 6 and the M83 remix, what else has Superpitcher been involved with this year? Other than "Tell Me About It" he hasn't released anything that's not a mix or remix has he?

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 12 September 2005 14:42 (eighteen years ago) link

If you haven't heard it already, his remix of Hell's "Je Regrette Everything" is awesome.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Also the Tocotronic remix (with Wasserman) for Kompakt Pop, and the SuperMayer mix of Losoul on Playhouse.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Tim, did you check him at Sunny's on Saturday.. Brown Alley i think. Only heard he was playing about 30mins before set was due to start, rushed there just in time, but tequila wasn't conducive to the music, or my head, and i left v.soon after i got there... gutted. Any good?

― Django Chaz, Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't know!!!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 07:22 (eighteen years ago) link

What are these villalobos pill overdose pictures?

― Jacob (Jacob), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 07:49 (eighteen years ago) link

They're just pictures of Villalobos looking particularly wasted and unwashed at some gig, is all.

I was in a record store the other day and one of the guys behind the counter was playing Alcachofa over the loudspeaker. He turned to the other guy working there and said, "Hey, this album is by the guy in those pictures." The other guy looked totally shocked, and I can't say I blame him!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 00:47 (eighteen years ago) link

These ones?

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 08:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Hah, he just looks like me when I worked as a kitchenhand (or at least looks like I felt). Not helped by the backdrop which also looks like where I used to work.

This is how I choose to view him as:

I'm pretty sure there is a better picture of that floating around ILM.

Oh Perfect! Thanks a lot Fezaffe!

Oh THAT's the snorting pig noise! Sounds more like a monkey wrench to me, but hey.

I think I have to buy Total 6 now :(

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 16 October 2005 00:28 (eighteen years ago) link

OK, last night, Superpitcher, Ada, Metope were like so much fun. so so much fun. but one track someone said was by jake fairley and had lots of bloopy noises in it and superpitcher was very excited to have and carried around all night with him in a bag around his neck, but wow it was good but i dont know the name of the track? can someone help? its by jake fairley and has bloopy noises and sometimes causes hysteria on dance floor. plz advise.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 October 2005 16:37 (eighteen years ago) link

And how about a long-shot ID on this one: he played it two nights in a row, straight-up driving techno; the only thing that made it remarkable was the guitar line: echoey and feedback-filled, rise-and-fall, mybloodyvalentine-ish, dominating the song. Nothing else he played sounded like it. No vocals. anybody?

― jergins (jergins), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:40 (eighteen years ago) link

yess any sort of setlist whatsoever would be very very much appreciated (for Superpitcher especially). so much fun: otm

i just remember hearing I BUILT THIS CITY FOR YOUUUU I BUILT THIS CITY FOR YOUUUU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU, and this jake fairley song i must have

jergins: wurz & blosse?

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll check it out. Thanks cozen.

― jergins (jergins), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:04 (eighteen years ago) link

track 4 on that beats in space set is isolée's "my hi-matic"

This almost sounds like Nathan Fake's "The Sky Was Pink".

oh that is track 3 and I see the qn's already been answered

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:07 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe adam but I wouldn't call it 'straight-up driving techno' by any stretch of the imagination, whereas wurz & blosse hinges on the fact it's straight-up driving... even tho it's not very MBV

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:08 (eighteen years ago) link

anyway going to iron my jumper and listen to today

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't really know what "straight up driving techno means" , other than indicating a sort of sparseness or harshness?

― Jazz Funeral in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I think driving is the operator... "the sky was pink" is kinda listless and even incorporates a u-turn... "wurz & blosse" (keep saying the name cs I love it) knows where it's going and tries to get there

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Is that the one that's on Speicher and Today?

― Jazz Funeral in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Speicher 2.

― Jazz Funeral in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:13 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah...

a pleasure as always, adam

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:14 (eighteen years ago) link

oh no, after you.

― Jazz Funeral in the Chinese Quarter (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:22 (eighteen years ago) link

"its by jake fairley and has bloopy noises and sometimes causes hysteria on dance floor. plz advise."

This sounds like a lot of Jake Fairley tracks! Probably the one that gets played out most often is "Cold World", although that's pretty old. I can heartily recommend his "Going Down The Road" 12 inch on Sender from a few years back and about half of last year's Touch Not The Cat album.
