New from the DFA...

http://www.emusic.com/album/Pixeltan-Yamerarena-I-MP3-Download/11721724.html

well i'll be!

anyone hear the yura yura teikoku on death from abroad?

The Yura Yura Teikoku album is decent, although not as poppy as i thought it was going to be. Some nice sax action. Also, in a welcome turn of events, DFA have a proper website again now!

in a way i had loads of fun this summer tryna work out what was gonna get released an the theories ppl had here and also it was a gr8 year for them impo

more dfa-related than strictly dfa, but dj kaos' "kosmischer ruckenwind" single is tremendous

enjoying the ray mang single too, though it's not blowing me away just now

the beginning of the end of a rather wonderful partnership ?

goldsworthy responds:
"I haven't left. If that was the case then, well, Murphy's never there, cause he's always touring or in the studio, so that would mean he left, I don't know, nine years ago or something?"

lol

Smells like sour grapes from here

still going's robbie williams remix is alarmingly good

if a little *cough* in debt to new order

is this ^ online anyplace?

on the SG fb page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Still-Going/90834114716

rad! i think i prefer the dub but i guess the original isn't bad either... guess i'm not always in the mood for a robbie williams

Black Van's "Yearning" sounds like a lost Discovery album track.

so tell me abt peter gordon then.

his wikipedia page tells me that lawrence wiener has made albums(?)

might start an rfi thread

at 7.30 ish mark when those girls start singing <3 also

there's some talk of him & the lolo on the arthur russell thread iirc (arthur guests on one of his/their songs- "that hat"). i've liked pretty much everything i've heard by the guy but i only have one album, i think jaxon knows more

obviously stirmonster knows something about him too ha

o shit. album on DFA? crazy.

i've got this http://www.discogs.com/Love-Of-Life-Orchestra-Extended-Niceties/master/204817

don't know that much about him but that he's worked w/tons of people and apparently still makes music for TV shows and movies and stuff.

played sax on and produced some arthur russell stuff.

man. just looking at the discogs of the stuff he's worked on is crazy. so much cool stuff. downtown ny in the early 80s was so cool

I was just listening to that track this evening, its great. There's some stuff on Peter Gordon in the (fantastic, easy to recommend) new Arthur Russell biography. Seems an interesting guy, into shit like ray charles&schoenberg growing up, had some student band that "morphed top 100 chart songs into freeform improvisations", hung out w/ don van vliet and played w/ chuck berry once. Played on Kiss Me Again w/david byrne, henry flynt and others.

holy shit how did i not know henry flynt was involved with "kiss me again"? i think i need more henry flynt albums

that line up was sick. bit of a one-off for flynt, but I love a lot of his stuff

into shit like ray charles & schoenberg

ah.... shit like that ;)

lady miss keir's vox and lyrics on that ray mang release are excruciating.

bit of a one-off for flynt

flynt is pretty much my favorite dude to turn to for blissed out droney music but i never got around to checking out that nova'billy stuff he was working on around this time pd, or even his stuff with the insurrections from the 60s. whatever it sounds like i'm sure it's nothing remotely stylistically similar to "kiss me again"

I'm also currently engaged in tracking down what I can find of the LOLO/Gordon/van Tieghem/Zummmo/etc axis after reading Hold on to Your Dreams. Makes sense that DFA are compiling Gordon now that his profile is marginally higher than it's been for a long time.

Peter Gordon also runs Thirsty Ear, where Matthew Shipp has been A&Ring the Blue Series for a fair bit now:

"Star Jaws" is a great P. Gordon album to look out for, esp. "Intervallic Expansion" (4th stream bar down at http://www.squidco.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=10951)

ady miss keir's vox and lyrics on that ray mang release are excruciating.

aren't they just. the black van single is also horrible.

peter gordon is a super interesting character. i have quite a few of his solo records which range from the amazing to the super dated sounding. he has played on everything from the dinosaur l lp to koyaanisqatsi to the fame soundtrack (or so i've been told). i've been looking forward to the dfa retrospective for a couple of years - is there a release date?

I'm also currently engaged in tracking down what I can find of the LOLO/Gordon/van Tieghem/Zummmo/etc axis after reading Hold on to Your Dreams

peter zummo's "zummo with an x" lp is one of my all time favourite records and features one of arthur russell's greatest collaborations - the incomparable "song iv". i believe it is now available on cd and digitally.

i have bought a few van tieghem records over the years but have yet to find one i wanted to hear more than once. i'd be interested to hear if there are any that are highly recommended.

Tiegham is so good as a band member but the albums (the two I had, Safety In Numbers and These Things Happen) just seemed to lack songs or sharp definition or something... but he plays great parts on some of my favorite records ever!

not to derail from this Peter Gordon thing, who I have never heard of but sounds interesting.

i've got 2 David Van Tieghem albums. i think These Things Happen (from 84) is pretty great. weirdy cosmic w/great percussion. i used the song "Remote Viewing" for one of my mixes (at 38 min). here's another track from that album.

Safety In Numbers (from 87) i wasn't really a fan of. i think he got into fairlight synthy stuff and it just sounds too digital to me. i accidentally played the whole album at 45 one time and imo, it sounds way better.

Guys, the Mang/Kier thing is a George Clinton cover. Fair enough on the vocals but the lyrics really aren't her fault.

I haven't really lived with the Black Van single long enough to form an opinion (and now I don't have access to most of my music while I try to de-virus my computer) but the version on DFA's website mixed with "I Will Come Back" is nice enough.

since when do they have a website again

That Fait Accompli track is nice, thanks jaxon. Super LOLO footage:

Xpost Since mid-january, I think. You can also dl the limited Holy Ghost remixes cassette that came out last year.

dunno if these are "new" but they are streaming for free

Really liking the Shit Robot tracks.

'Don't Don't' = classic

srsly dying to hear this

a1, a2 start and finish James/Pat's Fabriclive mix. - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/285817-01.htm

Will be great to have don't don't

"Will be great to have don't don't"

you don't get that on this single and the "version" of don't don't is pretty poor. i either have a horribly corrupted file of this or the transition from heartbreak to don't don't is one of the most bizarrely clumsy things i've heard on a record.
