― dr. nut & the night of joy (jed), Saturday, 19 March 2005 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

nu-huh me either.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 19 March 2005 01:26 (twenty-one years ago)

just a bit of fun!

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 19 March 2005 01:27 (twenty-one years ago)

except the bit about adam's babies, that's true.

― dr. nut & the night of joy (jed), Saturday, 19 March 2005 01:27 (twenty-one years ago)

ah my head will explode with such nice things you've both said! next month should be cool, I'll book this week hopefully.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 19 March 2005 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

this morning it felt like a hundred hungry dogs were barking in my head.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 19 March 2005 21:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Last night in London = awesomeness. Much fun was had and my friends loved it. Can anyone shed any light on that guitar instrumental version of The Model, though? I *need* that record.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 20 March 2005 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I wasn't there but it could well be the DJ Hell remix of Snakefinger's 1980 cover version. (Snakefinger = guitar player for the Residents)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 20 March 2005 01:59 (twenty-one years ago)

― stirmonster, Sunday, 20 March 2005 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Twitch, you impressed me (same goes for Johnny, obv). I had a great time.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Sunday, 20 March 2005 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Twitch -

I met you in BKLYN. I play in Kid's band. Did he ever give you a copy of our stuff?

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Sunday, 20 March 2005 21:09 (twenty-one years ago)

glad you enjoyed it barima.

jay vee - he didn't give me any of yr stuff but then i only saw him really briefly. i meant to hang out with him more but i was really ill while i was there. i really, really, really want to get you guys to play the club. kid knows that you have an open invitation to play. i don't need to hear it, i know i'm going to love it. tell kid i said hi and that next time we'll hook up properly.

― stirmonster, Sunday, 20 March 2005 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

right on.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Sunday, 20 March 2005 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

anyone have a tracklisting of what mayer played at the BRW?

I think I heard these:

ada, "maps" (some drawn out remix?)
ada, "eve"
closer musik, "1 2 3 no gravity (ewan pearson mix)"
frei / köhncke, "hot love (dj koze rmx.)"

... and then blank.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 30 April 2005 13:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Superpitcher - 'Happiness (M.Mayer remix)'
Baxendale (!) - 'I Built this City' I think

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 30 April 2005 13:56 (twenty-one years ago)

("Cashpoint Re-edit" of latter, possibly)

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 30 April 2005 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

also, has anyone heard the new eskimo thing yet? is it a mix or a comp? the tracklisting looks pretty great.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 30 April 2005 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

it's a mix

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 30 April 2005 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

mmmmmmmmmmm.

― mark p (Mark P), Saturday, 30 April 2005 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i think it's better than kil the dj.

― jed_ (jed), Saturday, 30 April 2005 14:03 (twenty-one years ago)

the other baxendale?

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 30 April 2005 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

There is no other. I was thinking of Hefner.

― Alba (Alba), Saturday, 30 April 2005 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

perhaps mayer has read this.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 30 April 2005 15:40 (twenty-one years ago)

any ideas ronan? RJG? hmmm?

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 1 May 2005 16:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I only have one.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 1 May 2005 16:56 (twenty-one years ago)

sock it to me.

― cozen (Cozen), Monday, 2 May 2005 13:02 (twenty-one years ago)

three weeks pass...

"One more choon! One more choon! One more choon! One more choon!"

What a fine thing to christen my new CD player with.

Mr Optimo, you should consider coming to the West Coast with your concern, and when I say the West Coast I mean "San Francisco".

― the blackest hand, Monday, 23 May 2005 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Also saw that thing about my babies above. Interesting!

― the blackest hand, Monday, 23 May 2005 17:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Anybody else have burst of noise occur a couple of seconds into track 14 (ie, second part of "I Walk")?

-- Jedmond (jedmon...), January 4th, 2005 11:56 AM. (Jedmond)

yup, 4999 other people. it seems the first batch of 5000 have this manufacturing flaw which wasn't discovered until after they had been shipped to the shops. tigersushi will replace any of the ofeending copies if they are sent back to them direct (which i can appreciate is probably more effort than anyone is going to be bothered with).

-- stirmonster (jd_twitc...), January 4th, 2005 12:24 PM.

crazy!! i just got this like 2 weeks ago and i guess i'm one of the 5000. i thought it was intentional.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 03:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i think when you say "san francisco", what you mean to say is "los angeles"

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

What's a "Los Angeles"?

― the black hand, Tuesday, 24 May 2005 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

Revive. Tell me about 1992.

― Masterdik, Monday, 1 August 2005 10:25 (twenty years ago)

I just want to say that I finally played the Psyche Out mix CD yesterday and it was outstanding.

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 1 August 2005 10:48 (twenty years ago)

Optimo are DJing in Brighton in a few weeks time, I can't wait!

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Monday, 1 August 2005 10:59 (twenty years ago)

one month passes...

Here's a question for anyone with the How to Kill the DJ pt 2 mix...just bought it today, and about halfway through the "one more tune" crowd chant at the end, there's a loud *POP*. Apologies for the trivial question, but I'm wondering if I've got a bum CD or if it's there in the mix- it's really quite startling.

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Saturday, 10 September 2005 20:46 (twenty years ago)

I think there were some problematic CDs in the first run, possibly mentioned on this thread at some point.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 10 September 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

It is mentioned somewhere up there. Second press is ok so return it and get that.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Saturday, 10 September 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

Thanks. Where would I return it to, though? Tigersushi and Kill the DJ are both in Paris, and returning it to Insound might be a gamble on getting the same pressing again. Is there a US distributor I could get in touch with?

God, I feel silly about this. But those POPs (found another one, in the "Dexter" segment) will haunt me to my dying day otherwise. I'm totally compulsive about this kind of thing...

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Saturday, 10 September 2005 21:43 (twenty years ago)

i've never heard of there being one in the 'dexter' segment before - odd. i'm not sure who the us distributor is but i know forced exposure did some distro on it. david day from forced exposure posts here so you could ask him. otherwise, i could burn you a cdr from the master (if i can find it).

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Saturday, 10 September 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

Looks like you were unable to OMIT POP ahahaha *dies of shame*

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Sunday, 11 September 2005 00:50 (twenty years ago)

*cymbal crash*

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 11 September 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

i think it's so funny that insound now carries the kill the dj comp. a few years back i recommended that they might start stocking tigersushi, as it seemed to be just the sort of "dance music" their indie buyers would lap up like warm milk -- and i got a really snide response from someone there that they just didn't have time to listen to all the "electronic music" out there. guess they found time.

― philip sherburne (philip sherburne), Sunday, 11 September 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

I really want to go tonight and see the Fire Engines, but I am very poor. Convince me, Glasgow.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 12:16 (twenty years ago)

it will be your last chance ever to see them and i promise they will be as entertaining as it is possible to be in 23 minutes. if you are very skint, i can put you on a half price list.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Sunday, 11 September 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

Arse, I forgot about this tonight. I'm not sure I am up to it. If I am not there, try to have fun without me.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 11 September 2005 17:29 (twenty years ago)

I put "psyche out" on in the car yesterday and it got shouted off cos it "doin [my mum's] nut in"

: )

― cozen (Cozen), Sunday, 11 September 2005 17:40 (twenty years ago)

not that stirmonster is going to see this in time, but thanks for the offer - I'm not going to make it now. Report back, someone.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 September 2005 18:56 (twenty years ago)

i shed a tear.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 12 September 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

haha, this really was great even if, like me (!!!), you had never even heard The Fire Engines before! tight as fuck and so fresh sounding.
