Anyone know the lyrics from "Run Into Flowers"? I can't remember if it's in the booklet and I don't have it here at the office.

Let's run,
Let's run,
Let's run into flowers.

It'll be fun,
It'll be fun,
It'll be fun when we run into flowers.

(repeat)

what about the chemicals bit

― sleep (sleep), Monday, 25 April 2005 20:35 (nineteen years ago) link

How were the recent shows?

― Ian Christe (Ian Christe), Monday, 25 April 2005 21:26 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost, that's the part I'm curious about. Whether he even says "chemicals" at all...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 25 April 2005 21:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Are M83 the musical equivalent of sherbet dips? enjoyable in small doses but too sickly to consume everyday.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 25 April 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

The show I caught was pretty impressive, although I missed the first half of their set. It made a lot more sense, the way that the sound surrounds you in a live venue. I guess their most recent album helps for that grand sound too.

― jellybean (jellybean), Monday, 25 April 2005 23:31 (nineteen years ago) link

x-post: no. they are the musical equivalent of oxygen, ie vital for the continuation of life.

as for what the gigs were like ... well, i can die fulfilled and happy now.

*Stunning* set on KCRW this morning - especially the last track - wow!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 17:57 (nineteen years ago) link

ooh. is it saved for posterity anywhere?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Yep!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Nice, I must investigate...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Is it worth picking up the 2 singles from "Before the Dawn"...? They each have remixes (Superpitcher and Boom Bip do "Don't Save Us From the Flames," and Montag does "Teen Angst") and one has a b-side I think. Worth getting?

― On a Strict El Cholo Diet (Bent Over at the Arclight), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

spencer, you fucking rule. thank you. i shall try to set up some kind of audio-hijacking before i go to bed.

as for the singles: the remixes of "flames" are astonishing, particularly superpitcher's.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Ooooh, if you could isolate that last track...

Also, I missed their Coachella performance, but I heard a lot of very good things about it. The drummer is excellent.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:44 (nineteen years ago) link

There's also just plain real audio, maybe it would be of higher quality?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 3 May 2005 21:46 (nineteen years ago) link

The audio-only stream does sound a lot better than the audio+video.

"A Guitar and a Heart" is indeed mindblowing when they do it live. When I saw them, that song alone was worth the price of admission. But I don't understand why they mix the synth so low in their live setup. Songs like "Run Into Flowers" should be drowning in it.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 04:24 (nineteen years ago) link

hurrah, have recorded that. won't get a chance to chop it up into individual songs for at least a couple of days, though ... i shall return here when it's done.

thanks again for the heads-up, spencer.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 07:07 (nineteen years ago) link

they don't look at all how i expected them to! good!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:36 (nineteen years ago) link

The Luciano remix of "Teen Angst" is terrific.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Barry is right - the last track is "A Guitar and a Heart" from "before dawn...". It doesn't sound particularly different from the album version.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:47 (nineteen years ago) link

. But I don't understand why they mix the synth so low in their live setup.

because at least when I saw them, no-one played the synth, it was a DAT or something.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:47 (nineteen years ago) link

Stop all this musician talk and discuss the fucking Luciano mix!

― X-PAT (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:50 (nineteen years ago) link

m83 remixed Hey Luciano by the Fall????

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

that was a joke

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Stop all this musician talk and discuss the fucking Luciano mix!

it's really good. i like it alot.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:54 (nineteen years ago) link

i can't understand what he's singing.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:56 (nineteen years ago) link

LUCIANO!

― X-PAT (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:57 (nineteen years ago) link

where does one find this remix? Is this on the don't save us... single?

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I think that it would be great to be Luciano. What a decadent-yet-relaxed Swiss sort of a life he must lead!

― X-PAT (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:58 (nineteen years ago) link

i asked on the ysi thread but could anyone post that mix or the montag one?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:58 (nineteen years ago) link

so handsome and a perlon t-shirt!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 18:59 (nineteen years ago) link

(oh yeah!)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:42 (nineteen years ago) link

can some kind soul explain why the bloody hell i can't download anything from yousendit? the !!! track (y'know, the one from the other thread) ... i got 29% through and it stuck. i now can't seem to connect at all. this: 1% and it's stuck.

i mean, it works as a web download. surely there aren't firewall issues. are there?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:48 (nineteen years ago) link

(sorry: confusing wording. it's *meant to* work as a web download.)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:50 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't know, seems unlikely though. i could send you the track, can your inbox handle 16.5MB?

― willem (willem), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:51 (nineteen years ago) link

that's very kind of you, willem, but don't go to any trouble. i should really buy it anyway ;)

i'm just kinda puzzled as to why i'm getting nowhere with what should be a very simple download. is anyone else having problems? is this just a bad night in yousendit world?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 20:53 (nineteen years ago) link

riiiight. i think it's working now. a logout seems to have helped. i think it's a firefox-related problem of some kind, but i've no idea what. ach well.

thanks again, willem. i assume you have the "don't save me" remixes that i mentioned upthread?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 21:09 (nineteen years ago) link

jesus christ. 67% and it just decided to stop for no reason. tits!

safari now seems to be doing a much more stable job than firefox. perhaps it's time i re-migrated :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 21:17 (nineteen years ago) link

i have the cd-single, yes. bliss.

(x-post: it works for me on safari)

― willem (willem), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 21:21 (nineteen years ago) link

yup: it's worked perfectly via safari. weird, eh?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 4 May 2005 21:29 (nineteen years ago) link

sorry to hijack this thread with technical stuff (although, as M83 are my absolute favourite band in the whole world ever right now, i'm glad i'm keeping it active) ... anyway, i asked my big techy mate about the YSI/firefox thing and he gave me an astonishingly detailed explanation involving wonderful metaphors about trunk roads and trucks. but the upshot is: mozilla derivatives with their multiple-connection ways confuse the fuck out of YSI's servers, and firefox doesn't.

coo ur, the things you learn. i'm going back to wget from now on, anyway.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 5 May 2005 08:20 (nineteen years ago) link

Works fine with Windows Firefox...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 5 May 2005 08:49 (nineteen years ago) link

[angry noise]

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 5 May 2005 08:51 (nineteen years ago) link

mozilla derivatives with their multiple-connection ways

But... Firefox is the prime Mozilla derivative! Maybe you mean Mosaic. I was having some weird connection issues to YSI when you were, I think that they were having problems.

Anyway, this Luciano mix is crazy long! I think it's another one of those where I feel a little shiver every time I hear some element of the original song come in, just because it's so gradual.

― mike h. (mike h.), Thursday, 5 May 2005 12:23 (nineteen years ago) link

that's the other problem: after having spent so long fucking about to get the thing, i didn't have time to listen to it or put it on the iPod! but i know it's waiting there for me tonight, hurrah.

which reminds me. i ordered the first M83 album from gooom the other week and it hasn't turned up yet. hmm.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 5 May 2005 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

ok funsters, decent-quality isolated MP3s of that KCRW show here. if anyone can identify the third song, i'd be much obliged.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Sunday, 8 May 2005 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

(nb: i haven't listened to it all the way through myself, so if he IDs the songs during the interview bit then, er, sorry for being a mook.)
