BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

i don't think anyone is getting too worked up about it, but the album does have its charms ("snake charmer" being a new favorite)

anyhow- this new q&a thing on dfa with alexis from arp and quinn from the phenomenal handclap band is also great, same with the phcb remixes by prins thomas and the glimmers

Prins Thomas miks of PHCB is pretty boring to me. first one where I'm like "ok really this is TOO LONG"

takes forever to get going and the part before the vocals come in is pretty flat. imo.

I like the miks. But then again, I'm a dirty dronerock girl for whom 12 minute songs that take forever to get going are really kind of par for the course. (also, I like the original song so much that I want it to go on forever and ever and ever.)

CFCF, however, I could not get more than two and a half minutes into. Too much Botox Disco in the mix. Do not like the synth sounds.

Agreed, those synths have no place in this thread... Let's stick to the topic- more Jeremy Spencer Band, a lot less Jackpot. In that spirit I wanna mention how great The Stallions are gonna be. That's Lovefingers AND Lee Douglas together making 'western style' disco. 'Stallion's Suite' is a total epic. Can not wait to see these guys next month, expectations are very high.. Also, Map of Africa has an LP due soon-ish, anyone know when?

i think "you'll disappear" is easily the best thing on the phcb album, so like kate i appreciate the massive extended miks. i never was very into the original "15 to 20" tho, so i'm a lot more excited about actually being sold on the glimmers mix- which is a lot less flat and adds a nice tom tom club sample (i think?) and is about 10x more fun. iMo

the 2 stallions tracks on their myspace are fantastic, but i want a physical release! isn't that supposed to happen soon?

does musiccargo belong here? i'm not sure where else we could talk about them- their recent remix of grackle is pretty infectious, but has anyone heard the album ('hand in hand') yet?

i just don't really get how people could be getting all 'oooh' over a guy who's doing middling beardo shit, including fleetwood mac covers

lol, this just sent me straight to his myspace btw

also this:

Too much Botox Disco in the mix.

is a draw imo

gott damn im loving this mix:

Anybody else been trawling through the Aletti Disco Files book for hairy grooves? Came across this recently...

oops..

i picked up the aletti files, but haven't gotten into flipping through the charts. most of what i saw looked pretty typical. ^^^^ this rad though.

i'm finally hearing this kza album, and i (predictably) dig it quite a bit. "transaction" is an early fave

maybe it's a lil more bobbins than beardo tho

finally hearing the cfcf cover of FM's big love and all it does really is make an amazing song kinda boring

this however i am a fan of
http://vimeo.com/3166070

drums on that are from this Ersen song

xp

need to get that kza album. just got "z" in the mail and it's great. and it helped me finally trainspot a tune from a prins thomas/blackbelt andersen live mix from like two years ago! "capricorn."

"capricorn" is great- no idea it had been around for so long. and i guess some of my mp3s were mixed up and i meant to say my early fave on the album was "routine" (still is, fwiw)

also that ersen (& Kardaşlar?) track is ridiculously cool and i'm kicking myself for never having checked out any full lengths by that dude. the songs i do have from comps and such are all killer

supposedly Tommy Boy (of 20JFG and ARAWA.fm) directed that CFCF video. it's pretty amazing.

new mix on Golf Channel, Try To Find Me Vol. 2 is fucking incredible, all edits by justin vandervolgen (perhaps the dude behind the first volume of try to find me?)

ya. it's him. listened to his BIS and they claimed (along w/tons of people on DJH) that this was perhaps the greatest mix ever made! :-/ his other one was ok, but a lil too campy gay for my tastes.

huh that guy used to be in !!! and Out Hud ... didn't know he did those mixes too

is try to find me vol. 1 a mix? i thought that it was just this ep/12"- http://www.discogs.com/release/1403729... and i thought it was mark e that was responsible for those edits.

can't wait to hear this new thing regardless

he's also in TBD with lee douglas

this is the mix i was referring to. he talks about all this stuff
http://www.beatsinspace.net/playlists/487

here's the djh thread i was talking about
http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49115

there's another great mix by him on Lovefingers!

xpost

try to find me vol. 1 was just the 12", the only reason anyone thought it was Mark E was because he was one of the only dude's releasing on the label at the time, other than ghost note, but tbh, vol. 1 doesn't sound anything like Mark E so it makes sense.

thanks for the tip on the BIS mix jaxon, will listen immediately

only reason i thought it was mark e is because "make dance" is labeled as "mark e - make dance" on the unofficial playlist for his ra podcast. but it's 100% possible that it was simply a mislabel

i dig all the TBD stuff i've heard- "what is this?" has a ridiculous build/breakdown in the middle, pretty awesome track

another mix with tons of amazing stuff that i do not know is Lovefingers new mix I found on Disco Delicious.

seriously, this guy is my favorite american DJ, any help with the song IDs would be appreciated.

second track (maybe ELO or something? complete stab in the dark) and the one at 57min sound really familiar to me.

"baby i'm a caveman, baby i'm a caveman, won't you be my cavewoman"

co sign on the lfingers love. dude has incredible taste

to be fair jaxon, those "tons" of people saying that is actually only one man, phil, who incidentally runs golf channel. not that he's wrong...

dont have time to scroll up to see if this has been posted yet but damn this track is something else. so many sections. beautiful stuff...
http://soundcloud.com/italic/sets/von-spar-hybolt-italic-085

harvey played that on this weeks BIS, but he didnt' really know what it was (he didn't really know what anything he was playing tbf) and said it was by prins thomas or lindstrom. he wasn't sure. i guess there's a prins remix on that soundcloud link though.

wow that Von Spar is pretty good. I liked their last one too but it was really different from that. more like krautrock/post-rock/metal

I mean this is pretty krautrocky but in a differnt way. the other one was way more aggressive

perhaps it's not beardo but i diggg this von spar

lovefingers is ending the daily site, fingertrack 999 is followed by a "that's all folks!"

I haven't kept up with lovefingers daily tracks since bumrocks ended. Bumrocks was better and missed.

Lugnet presents VED and his ep SPELEO. SPELEO is the name of a greek society for cave-exploration. The inspiration comes from, among other things, greek mountains, found cassettes, and underground art in Malmö. Tiaz brought out the abyss from “The anointed word”, Sture Johannesson and Martin Theander transmitted the energy for “Sture external” and the TV-repairmen of the seventies created the philosophy behind “Din egen spegelbild”. The ep will be in selected stores shortly but visit Soundcloud and get a preview.

really digging these greek cosmic/kraut vibes.

the melody from Von Spar was used in a track in the Rub-N-Tug Fabric mix. I lost my music, so i don't know which it is, but it's on there.
