Was this really James Murphy (or some other DFA guy)?
I think the DFA bands have gotten better and better.

Mr. Snrub is is right, but the older records have the power of so much nostalgia behind them (already!)

pulled out the HOJL 12" the other day and played the morgan geist remix (which i dunno why, but i'd never listened to before) and it's pretty hot.

No way is "WAYUH" better than "House of Jealous Lovers"

i remember people freaking out about "Yeah" liveblogging it as they listened for the first time. good times.
That's one of my favorite days ever on ILM.

Still listen to those DFA Compilation #1 and #2 collections a few times a year. Really great all around - LCD, Black Dice, Juan Maclean, Delia and Gavin/Black Leotard Front, the Rapture, Liquid Liquid, etc.

i think the real argument should be that since DFA isn't "hot omg meme" label anymore, people have been ignoring the good stuff they've been putting out: Shocking Pinks, Syclops, et al

I used to write for Idolator. I posted everything before anyone.I was there at the River Room in Harlem for the Merriweather Post Pavillion listening session.I was there at Brooklyn's Masonic Temple when Dan Deacon debuted his 15-piece live band.I woke up naked in a warehouse in Brooklyn in 2008.

this was v iconic but house of jealous lovers was really amazing mixed in with all the shit that people might have called electro or whatever before the name became tainted, it was so physical. no rock record will ever have that impact again.

But I was there! I was transcribing the lyrics to this song before anybody else did!
― Mr. Snrub, Saturday, 25 July 2009 03:14 (3 years ago) Permalink
before house of jealous lovers and before electroclash most people used the term electro to describe actual electro-funk i.e. Cybotron and Bam as well as the post techno electro revivalists like DMX Krew, Jedi Knights, Le Car, Drexcyia etc.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 25 July 2009 04:22 (3 years ago) Permalink
yeah no of course dan, but you know what I mean by using it to mean that stuff too, I dunno, like in that interzone where people were playing hojl and lots of other dfa stuff and then stuff like black strobe etc mixed together...there wasn't really a name for it I guess. I really loved that period of time.
now it's like a sort of maxed out version of that sound is the biggest thing on the planet.

I was young when it came out! I was one of them-there 'internet seekers'! With a playlist of every good song, by every good band, ever! I'm probably the same age now as Murphy was when it was recorded.

Wikipedia tells me that Murphy is 9 years older than me, so that was a pretty good guess.

always preferred the B side but then that's a classic indie tossbag thing that 'the kids' on the actual song might say.

Was just talking about this with a friend last night, but I misremembered this as having come out 2003. Now I feel older than I already did.
