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

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?

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!

These ones?

he looks like a camel

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.

A: I have no idea, but I'm glad you made me listen to this mix again.

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 16 October 2005 00:21 (eighteen years ago) link

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

― lemin (lemin), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

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

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:47 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

"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.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:25 (eighteen years ago) link

By the way, what was that Ada song last night with the epic-ish synth break in the middle? the break had the same sound as, to throw out a strange probably wrong point of reference that simply came to mind at the time, the end of Rydeen by YMO. I realize i could probably figure this out by going and listening to the Ada tracks on my computer at home i haven't listened to yet but i am not at home and ... uh it was really great

― lemin (lemin), Thursday, 20 October 2005 21:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi lemin, I was at that show last night! Did I meet you?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 20 October 2005 22:29 (eighteen years ago) link

"By the way, what was that Ada song last night with the epic-ish synth break in the middle?"

"The Red Shoes"?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 20 October 2005 22:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Tracer: I didn't meet anyone last night. You probably met my friend Joe, though - he posts here lots more often than i do and i think he went over and talked to yall

― lemin (lemin), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Tim, I'll look around for it. I asked Geeta, but she didn't know the title of the track, oh but it was so good. Maybe I'll go hitchhike to montreal to see them again.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:36 (eighteen years ago) link

jake's going to be at another wearerobots thing in november, phil. ask him then!

― joseph (joseph), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:41 (eighteen years ago) link

If Geeta doesn't know it, it's not "The Red Shoes"! I think that's her favourite Ada track.

I remember Ada playing this instrumental track with these stabby shimmery slightly out of time synth chord hits that just slayed me, but I don't know what that's called.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Actually i ignore that I'm getting lemin and phil-two confused now.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:44 (eighteen years ago) link

and yeah, last night was fun x a million. i made sure the first thing i listened to today on the way to class was that baxendale remix. and my ILXors I've Met in the Flesh List is now at a grand total of 1! (i think i saw tracer though, or at least had him pointed out to me by phil)

― joseph (joseph), Thursday, 20 October 2005 23:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I did go up and ask Ada if she was playing new stuff and she said yes, so it could have been something none of us know.

― jergins (jergins), Friday, 21 October 2005 00:35 (eighteen years ago) link

ooh that really complex organy line i'm talking about shows up a couple times in Who Pays the Bills but what she played wasn't that

― lemin (lemin), Friday, 21 October 2005 03:29 (eighteen years ago) link

i think i saw tracer though,

tracer is the one that looked like a french sailor.

anyhow, it was the most fun i've had out since, well, saturday i guess. but still. wow. the cielo gig was okay, but not nearly as fun as this.
