heh, i thought of the primaries thread on that line too.

I think I have read the primaries thread once or twice but to be honest I kinda made up that comparison on the spot.

I'm amazed that a mongrel would click on the primaries threads, let alone follow them closely!

I certainly didn't follow them closely...

i'm amazed that a mongrel knows what a soccer mom is! don't they have rugby moms down there?

Australian Football League moms or soccer moms (or rather "mums") where I am - rugby isn't very big in my state.

The "Balearic" moniker really confuses me. I mean - I have a track on that "Nu Balearica" cd that just came out (yo. I'm broke) but my shit sounds nothing like Gypsy Kings or has sun-kissed-beachy-guitar-jangle/congas/swoops-on-E. What is this "Balearica"?

Will balearic help us gain a better appreciation of teh Gypsy Kings?

Teh Gypsy Queen would be a good name for a is the name of my balearic remix/edits outfit.

I listened to this album (+ Yearbook One tracks) during the coach trip from Roma to Firenze. Perfect.

I can't see this album working well while travelling, but I'll try it next week when taking the train to Marseilles.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 15:03 (4 years ago) Permalink
wow really? i can't think of anything but travelling with this music, or at least certain locations, landscapes, destinations (not as specific as the album title and imagery suggests). the Balearic tag is obv a big factor in this...but other than that it's progressive, atmospheric, rhythmic music generally - how's that not perfect for travel?
― blueski, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 15:13 (4 years ago) Permalink
I see it more suited to open spaces. Maybe playing on a small boombox poolside or on the terrasse of a rented house somewhere in the South of Europe, very late or very early.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 25 June 2008 15:16 (4 years ago) Permalink
i would listen to it en route to said rented house. and then again in the rented house. and then again on the way home. it transcends environs.

i can't find the long version of Self Service anywhere! loving absolutely everything i've heard from these guys. really hope their live show is as good as it looks on those Studio Palooza clips on YouTube.

Dan Lissvik of Studio produced The Embassy's new single "State '08" and it's ace. Blissful indie-pop with a balearic touch. It's topping my summer jams right now.

You can get Studio t-shirts from Phonica at the minute. They're 30 fucking quid though.

I just absolutely love the fact Pitchfork never reviewed West Coast. They've been on a hot roll lately, reviewing "it" bands (mostly honestly very good ones, like Fleet Foxes). Similar to Cutty's thread, the inner hipster in me is frustrated by people who only use Pitchfork to listen to new music. However, it seems Pitchfork has been quick to spot (or influence) the newest trends, and finging West Coast on my own is a rare victory.
I'm lame.
― skygreenleopard, Thursday, 26 June 2008 16:04 (4 years ago) Permalink
I think a review of the rereleased West Coast after having already reviewed Yearbook 1 would probably have been a bit redundant though.

i don't really see the difference between finding out about a record on pitchfork and finding out about a record on ILM.

i went to their studio in göteborg today. i don't know what the published interview is going to look like, but before i forget everything they said when i wasn't recording...
-that Fact magazine info about scrapping tracks for a live studio album in 2009 was either never true or no longer true. they're working on one new remix, overseeing fontän's debut album (who play live instruments; i got the feeling that studio were going to tour vicariously through them).. they don't have any definite album release plans, although they have three albums worth of material 'in the can.' they're unsure when or if they'll release any of it. (west side was culled from material that dates back to 2003)´ -vahid: they had to edit self-servce to fit it on cd. -'balearic music' is any music played while wearing a sailor hat.
for the record, these are some of the coolest, nicest, humblest dudes i've ever met. i even got some t-shirts haha

nowhere, really. a friend of mine is starting a small culture magazine (Futureclaw) and asked me if i wanted to write something for it, and it turned out to be an interview with studio. i was going to sweden anyway to visit some friends, so i did the interview in person. and i just e-mailed air france because i was in town.. g-burg is really cool. great time of the year to visit.

I hope it went something like this: Studio: Ja, ve have tre albums already, how you say, in the can. poorteater: ysi?
