"i'd skip Jus 1 Kiss or Get Me Off"

b-but Get me Off is clearly the standout track. you silly billy.

I skip the pauses between songs because I'm greedy like that

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 23:40 (twenty years ago) link

hopefully the "crazed stomper" doesn't follow in the footsteps of "do your thing".

and will we be treated to another singles collection? (how much longer can i go without a copy of "acid life" or "i live in brixton"?)

"get me off" was the one they tried to give to janet!

also it is the centerpiece of the mid-album triumverate of uber-greatness.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 01:25 (twenty years ago) link

its an okay track but i rarely have the desire to hear it - gimme 'All U Crazies' any day

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 01:26 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah everyone was always hatin' on "All I Know" but Me & My Mitch are the champion defendas!

Finney ur forgetting someone

― Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 01:34 (twenty years ago) link

yeah i love all i know too!! and gett me off is okayish but sometimes jus 1 kiss is like the high point of their entire career!! i just listened to remedy and my fav song is still yo yo, i wish it was actually f yo-yo though instead of that lame singer

― trife (simon_tr), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 01:37 (twenty years ago) link

I am firmly in the "All I Know" camp--sounds like a Prince & the Revolution B-side

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 04:17 (twenty years ago) link

oh suddenly everyone's an "all i know" revisionist eh? i was there at the beginning, man.

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 06:49 (twenty years ago) link

I said what I did about Prince in my Blender review, motherfucker!

New Basement Jaxx single-Acid Love

Did any of you ever get that EP? Acid Luv is such a good track, I played it yesterday after reading this thread. It's like the teletubbies making pop acid house. definitely one to irritate people with on the acid house thread.

I've always loved Yoyo, maybe more than any of their other tracks. I do prefer Remedy to Rooty though. But Get Me Off was such a good record, I really liked the Superchumbo remix which basically just beefed it all up even more and added a few e snare rattles and made it a bit more frantic if that's possible. The original has the delicate touch though, the breakdown where it's does the call and response thing with the melody and the first one is all buff and airy and then that big ignorant bass comes back. Classic.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 07:18 (twenty years ago) link

I hope people get the part I'm talking about otherwise that reads extremely weirdly.

Sorry I should also stress that link's from their EP last year, never was a full single release.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 07:19 (twenty years ago) link

i'm a bit late to the party, but HOLY FUCKING CRAP gibber gibber etc etc etc.

― Ess Kay (esskay), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 09:26 (twenty years ago) link

there is no Jaxx track i actually DISLIKE of course

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 10:43 (twenty years ago) link

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Wednesday, 13 August 2003 18:13 (twenty years ago) link

OK... just gotta say...heard it tonight... it's their best album, I think. Totally hardcore. Operatic stomp. Made me wanna gush.

― minna (minna), Thursday, 14 August 2003 03:21 (twenty years ago) link

hey yeah, how can i hear this lovely album too?

― adam west (adamwest), Thursday, 14 August 2003 03:32 (twenty years ago) link

It's harder, Princier, and unhousier than Rooty. Heard it at a bar w/ really cruddy sound and lots of people talking (!) so it's hard to say precisely how great it is. But it's great. Dizzee sounds more and less weird w/ a thick background behind him. Can't wait to get a proper copy to play around in.

― Andy, Thursday, 14 August 2003 05:19 (twenty years ago) link

ben if youy ever feel like dumping this on slsk, i'd be more than happy to kill anyone you wished.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 14 August 2003 06:23 (twenty years ago) link

― nnnh oh oh nnnh nnnh oh (James Blount), Thursday, 14 August 2003 08:12 (twenty years ago) link

the bellrays chick gave me a copy. it realy does rock. it warrants the attention of this thread. no copy minna as it's copy-protected and fucks up my computer when i play it.

― st cool kids of death, Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:22 (twenty years ago) link

thanks for trying anyway

― minna (minna), Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:24 (twenty years ago) link

how do you take copy-protection off? all the cds i've been getting are copy protected and i listen to 80 percent of cds from my computer.

― st cool kid of death, Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:26 (twenty years ago) link

there was supposed to be some trick you can do w/ a black marker...
there must be info out there on the web

― minna (minna), Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:32 (twenty years ago) link

My computer won't play ANY CDs any more :( It's particularly painful since a highlight of my day was going to be listening to the new Broadcast and I've forgotten my walkman.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:33 (twenty years ago) link

"Controversial copy-protection mechanisms on CDs could be negated with something as simple as a marker pen.
According to one German geek who sent the tip to technical magazine Chip.de, a variety of copy-protection systems, including Cactus Data Shield and KeyAudio, which also stop music CDs being played in CDRom drives, can be circumvented with a felt-tip pen.

Copy-protection systems work by adding a corrupt data track to the outside edge of a CD. This track is ignored by common audio CD players but prevents copying, and sometimes playing, in the more sensitive PC CD drives.

By covering up a portion of the dividing line and outside track on the CD, without touching the last audio track, it is possible to fool the CD player into thinking that the extra corrupt data track does not exist. The marker pen line can easily be wiped away afterwards with a soft cloth.

A similar result was also obtained by sticking bits of a Post-It note along the edge of the CD, but this is not advised as the paper may come loose and damage the drive. "

― minna (minna), Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:34 (twenty years ago) link

I'll give it a go, Minna. But I did the market trick with the Alfie cd and it still read corrupt. I hope Lisa goes ballastic with the Bellrays after the Basement Jaxx is released. Her track along with Dizzee's are hot. The Bellrays are releasing their new album around the same time as Basement Jaxx. I think the world needs a big, beautiful and black soul singer ... her track ... is, well, probably the best electro northern soul stomper I've ever heard.

― st cool kid of death, Thursday, 14 August 2003 09:48 (twenty years ago) link

copy protected CDs can at least be recorded via phono out and line in to pc

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE DO THIS! :)
