xpost - thanks; enjoyed reading that interview
this bit = !! wow!
VD: We shouldn’t say this, but we actually sent it to a blog: “You can have this.” I think 25 minutes and that fucking remix was everywhere. And the label really liked it, even when she turned it down. We were like, “Can you listen to that remix properly, like in a studio with a big sound system?” So they played it to her fully, and she said OK. And she actually called me in the middle of the night. I didn’t get the phone, like, “Who the hell is that? I’m not answering it.” And in the morning I hear the voice mail: “This is Grace Jones ….” I was like, “What?” I fucked up.
Also, to the comments they make about their attitude to blogs/etc makes me feel more at ease with throwing this up again for the weekend.

"We Can't Fly" is on Spotify.I am underwhelmed!
― mike t-diva, Thursday, 1 July 2010 09:52 (thirteen years ago) link
The track or the LP?
― du mein bestie (micarl), Thursday, 1 July 2010 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link
i was also underwhelmed. it sounds like a cheap imitation of aeroplane. that synth sound that comes in a third of the way through is sort of horrible.
i'm...not sure their forte was ever producing their own material? "whispers" apart, and it was kathy diamond who made that...

Nonsense - Caramellas and Pacific Air Race were both brilliant, and the best bits of most of their remixes were their own, as well.

xpost: Two versions of the track. In its favour, it's all a bit Summer 1981/Compass Point/Alex Sadkin/Sly&Robbie, which always plays well with me - with a touch of 1982 Swain/Jolley/Imagination squelchy bass for good measure - but it lacks that subtly intense and blissful OOMPH that they normally do so well.
― mike t-diva, Thursday, 1 July 2010 12:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm sort of thinking of it as a prolonged intro to the album really, it's nice and breezy and does its job pretty well.
― Vulvuzela (Matt DC), Thursday, 1 July 2010 13:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Not to mention "Aeroplane"!!

naming your lead single/album the same thing is a good way to thwart people searching for a leak to the latter

they were playing toronto thursday night, two hours after i got into town and i was so exhausted from the trip that i forgot until two hours after their set was done.
:(
^^^ only canadian stop on the tour.
― Alex in Montreal, Monday, 19 July 2010 23:45 (thirteen years ago) link
I personally made a split second decision to not go to that.
Here's hoping their set was a dud that night!

It hasn't leaked but there are promo copies doing the rounds.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 20 July 2010 09:25 (thirteen years ago) link
I've heard the phrase "Rocky Horror Show" applied to the album, so am in the process of revising my expectations downwards.
that's how i figure someone would describe the mungolian jetset album, but as much as i dig that album.......
― de jong and the restless (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 20 July 2010 09:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Album has finally leaked...thoughts later today

sounds really quite terrible so far.

Is this the real thing? Maybe someone made a fake like they did a few years ago with the Daft Punk album. (Sadly, I know it's not true.)
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 24 July 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
what's with the waling guitar over stuff?
i had hoped "Without Lies" would be the nadir but another vocal track has just come on that is possibly even worse. i feel quite embarrassed to be listening to it. maybe it's supposed to be stupid but i'm not sure if that can excuse it.
― jed_, Saturday, 24 July 2010 19:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Most of this sounds like demos the Scissor Sisters would've thrown in the dumpster behind the studio. Maybe the Aeroplane guys were waiting back there and grabbed them.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 24 July 2010 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
ok this is a car crash.
― jed_, Saturday, 24 July 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
more like a plane crash

what i'm listening to right now sounds like an elaborate prank.
sorry, i really don't want to ruin it for anyone else but i actually just lol'd at some abomination called "Fish in the Sky".
― jed_, Saturday, 24 July 2010 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link
that title alone cannot prepare you.
ysi?

why have they done this. :(
― Merdeyeux, Saturday, 24 July 2010 21:52 (thirteen years ago) link
If this is the real version, omens weren't exactly good with the declining quality of mixes and 'We Can't Fly' the song.
― Davek (davek_00), Saturday, 24 July 2010 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
last.fm indicates there is more than one Aeroplane. Maybe this is one of the others masqerading as the Aeroplane we know?
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 24 July 2010 21:56 (thirteen years ago) link
For real, this album is not just a disappointment, but a legitimate contender for WORST OF THE YEAR.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 24 July 2010 21:57 (thirteen years ago) link
WTF
― al gore vidal gore (s1ocki), Saturday, 24 July 2010 21:59 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah. Can't think of a worse song this year than 'I Don't Feel', and 'Without Lies' is narrowly behind.
― Merdeyeux, Saturday, 24 July 2010 22:00 (thirteen years ago) link
guys i need to hear this
