Eulogy to DJ Harvey - unsung second greatest DJ of all times

thanks though, i didnt know about that!

xposts

the main thing I remember from that Rhonda show (other than the place going nuts for the Swiss' "Bubble Bath") was seeing some kid running around dressed up like Hitler

well that and the venue being UNBELIEVABLE

yeah that venue was awesome. insane multi-room VIP area w/ craze shit going on too

harvey always looks like the happiest guy on earth

"They know everything I'm involved in over there, you go into a shop in Japan and there's this box, 'RECORDS DJ HARVEY PLAYED LAST WEEK' and another box 'RECORDS DJ HARVEY WILL PLAY NEXT WEEK.'"

first record in the rack was Irene Cara - What A Feelin'

man, tickets for tomorrow sold out in hours.

tomorrow where?

san diego

turns out they didn't i just found out reaaaaally late

i think.... you just gotta go anyway, and get in somehow

i could go naked except for a cowboy hat

they'd have to let me in

maybe gr8080 has a password i can use

I'd go w/ the naked/cowboy hat routine.

Harvey has an appreciation for drag queens tho maybe show up in drag

anyone have an mp3 of the ps1 warmup set from like 06 or 07?

the link upthread is dead.

the '05 one? i can upload to dropbox

Harvey in interview is awesome. I remember thinking how sound he was when mentioning not wanting to play in London because it's full of beardo hipsters waiting for him to play the wrong song and when he mixes acknowledging fucking in such a laid back, off the cuff manner.

fucking up rather

yeah max i guess, the one that starts w/ the beatie boys edit, thanks

just shared with you

thanks for sharing.

'05 warmup set was what made me a harvey superfan. i know the sarcastic disco mix is more influential or w/e but for whatever reason sonic disco 1 was the one where his style clicked for me

want

i've had that "yeahh yeahh yeaaaaah, yeeaaah yeahhh yeahhhhhh" part in sarcastic disco stuck in my head for days. very annoying

don't u know don't u know who did it

essential mix from 98

and one from 99

can you share the ps-1 mix

the new resident advisor podcast is a triiiiiiip

:D

even with his warning that it's more of a psychedelic freakout dance kind of thing, I still wasn't quite prepared. Definitely wild. Is his "recorded at this gentleman's club with rare vintage equipment" shit for real? Mythbuilding?

take this with a huge grain of salt b/c, yknow, it came from the RA comments, but somebody was saying that they thought there was a 90% chance that "gentlemen's club" meant "harvey's living room". the only reason i even mention something from the RA comments is because of the mild possibility that this person actually knows harvey

ain't nothin wrong with a little harvey mythbuilding, of course

in all fairness, harvey's living room actually is a notorious LA gentleman's club with rare vintage equipment

of course

This coming weekend I'm playing at Terry Richardson's afterparty for his first LA exhibition at Oh Wow gallery.

D:

doing something in London soon too!

get OUT

i have a goddamn google alert set up for "dj harvey" and "london"

so do you have to be on a guest list to get into one of his LA parties, or

Then it's off to Europe. "The management" are cooking up something for London at some point and I can't wait.

photos from the terry richardson party (2nd photo is NSFW, rest are ok):
