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

Anyone going to his Meltdown show next week?

Not too keen on the new album tbh.

kinda played

eulogy elegy

Interviewed him last night, top bloke.

Apparently the Cirque de Bend thing tonight is a "super gay disco experience". So that'll be fun.

Lyrics to the new record stolen from Bowie and the Tibetan Book of the Dead if he's to be believed.

This documentary on Tonka was posted on Youtube last week, featuring a very young Harvey

He looked genuinely sad last night when he said "ahh, fuck, I'm 50, who cares what I think any more" lol

wildest dreams sounds pretty hard like he bought another copy of fragile. i'm cool with it, except for "pleasure well", because look, harv, we've all heard "riders on the storm", OK?

when i saw him shortly after he turned 50 he remarked "it's not really the beginning of the end, it's just the end of the beginning"

Fantastic set last night. I'd say 95% of the crowd were over 40.

If you were there and can ID the track he played at about 10pm that had the INCREDIBLE 'I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I loooooove you' chorus then I'll paypal you a quid.

How well did it work in a concert hall setting?

It was in the Spiegeltent rather than Southbank Centre/RFH - really weird atmosphere in that inside the tent it literally felt like 2/3am peak time stuff and the second you stepped outside it was still light. Mildly disorientating.

The "super gay disco experience" extended to a bloke wearing a veil waving flags about for a bit btw.

Cheers - what a record!

Did he play the original as he's played this Vandervolgen edit in the past?

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/takes-one-to-make-one/395344-01/

Yeah, was the edit actually. Just fucking phenomenal.

does someone have a link to the 1xtra mix from '98? I want it!

er surely 1xtra wouldn't have even launched until the '00s?

essential mix iirc

thats what i meant

new album is streaming on NPR

http://www.npr.org/2014/07/20/331353776/first-listen-wildest-dreams-wildest-dreams

loving it so far, not as good as map of africa but way more fun than locussolus

teaser video is amazing but also NSFW

"405" is a fuckin jam

otm, probably my favorite after my first few listens

i quite like the opening track "rollerskates" too. reminds me of some song i can't think of.
some style tips from Harv in T magazine: http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/07/29/dj-harvey-man-of-fashion-on-high-waisted-pants-and-international-hair/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

"Yeah, I’m just sitting around, waiting for hippies to die.”

yes!!

lmao i love that the monkees' theme from HEAD is in this

Seems to have disappeared now (it was a private track anyway).

I did take a shitty 128kbps rip before it vanished though if anyone wants a copy.

(Assume that's ok mods as it's not commercially available anywhere)

quickly before they say no

:-)

hopefully the mix is better than the new album ..

Rollerskates is about the only one I'm reaaallly into, 405 is ok but kinda silly? idk

Interviewed him again, this time for Thump:
http://thump.vice.com/en_uk/words/dj-harvey-interview-on-touring-the-uk-international-fame-and-his-vices

Anyone catch the UK tour? The Fabric set was a bit...sluggish.

was going to go but they switched to a worse venue & it was ~£25 which seemed v high risk so went to see daniel wang who was super high energy for £7 which seemed like a superior good times economy. apparently the harvey crowd was old but I'm not against that

i like the hyperbolic intro but fyi the venue he was involved with in Honolulu was not on the beach and wasn't a hotel (though it had the word "hotel" in its name) and he didn't run it

His full Boiler Room set from last week (audio):

ah looking forward to checking this out. if any of you happen to be in ibiza i can't recommend the ibiza rocks residency he's doing enough. i had liked his mixes well enough until seeing him live but he did a six-hour set and it was absolutely perfect. didn't recognise a single track except for club tropicana, which i guess he played since the venue was where the video for that was shot.

wtf is going on here http://www.harveysarcasticdisco.com/

wtf

Earlier this year, Skrillex launched his very first studio album by the name “Recess”. The album was released in March 14 2014 with a total of 11 track listings. Since its release, the album has performed quite well in various billboards making its best appearance at number three. The album has received its fair share of criticism as well as praise.

yah wtf

my guess is the domain expired and was snatched up in auction by an opportunistic idiot

(happened to me not long ago)
