BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

i like his blackdisco release (as talked about upthread as well) but thanks for the heads up, i saw lee douglas last weekend and he was great

(did he do the italians do it better 12" sleeves?)

Johnny jewel, of glass candy, does the ITALIANS sleeves

oh and special disco version in LA ruled

i yelled "beach boys!" @ sdv in SF when they played "here comes the night", but got cold shoulder from DJs. but everyone should know about that tune!!!

man, wish i had heard about lee douglas... love his rong 12s..

there seems to be a big disco contingent in sf/bay area, no?

what about some real bearded stuff now, though? i've been listening to a lot of early steve miller, earth wind and fire, fleetwood mac, stuff like on harvey's freshjive mix. what are some heavy bongbastic deep rock/soul records like this? fusion-y, of course, is good too

it seems that there oughta be plenty of disco around here. I did go to Aunt Charlies a while back for Tubesteak... er, at least I think it was Tubesteak. It was Thurs. night and they played the right kind of music for it... but the latest reference I can find for it online is from '07.
in any case it was a bunch of disco/italo/"pre-rave urban dance music" and the drinks were cheap and it was fun. I was entertaining some friends from Seattle and we all had a blast.

"here comes the night" is great! is there a non disco version of it? i only have the 12"

bummed i didn't get into the special disco version. waited in line forever listening to assholes and burners everywhere not have any idea why they were there - pretty sure that people just go to mighty to go there - and then finally got to the front and they raised the price to $20!

there's tons of disco going on in SF. here are some DJs and clubs to watch:
my buddy andrew (blackshag) does the beatelectric blog and has been doing a monthly at Elbow Room called Body Heat. has had Juan Atkins, Quiet Village, Morgan Geist, Sorcerer, Beat Broker.
http://www.myspace.com/316bartlett

Ryan Poulsen does a semi regular event http://gunclub.dj/

DJ Pickpocket does Donuts & Club Internationale

i've seen the Honey Sound System play some great stuff, but not sure if they have regular things.

the aforementioned Tubesteak Connection at Aunt Charlies is a sleazy gay pickup joint with amazing music.

winston, self promotion alert, but i post tons of that beardy funk rock at my site http://robotsinheat.com/

check out the (Jan) Hammer track up there right now. so fucking sick.

here are some favorite rock & fusion beardy tracks:
check out the (Jan) Hammer track up there right now. so fucking sick. also his Melodies album is ridiculous pop/funk/fusion. "Who Are They?" and "You Don't Know" are so amazing.
Rolling Stones "Heaven", "Too Much Blood", the entire Emotional Rescue album
Weather Report "River People"
Suzi Quatro "Primitive Man" & "Skin Tight Skin"
Roger Chapman & Streetwalkers
Doors "Peace Frog"
anything by Steve Hillage or Eberhard Shoener
Chilliwack "Seventeenth Summer"
CS&N "Dark Star"
Bob Welch "Don't Let Me Fall" & "Outskirts"
the entire Don Cherry Hear & Now album is funk rock.
Jan Akkerman has some AMAZING stuff.
Mother's Finest
Johnny Wakelin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNRqfpIQYjs

and the ultimate beardy disco rock = SUPERMAX

oops. forgot to delete a c&p

and the ultimate beardy disco rock = SUPERMAX

truth, jaxon... truth

and SDV was filled with some real assholes, the party in LA was way more legit

Suzi Quatro "Primitive Man" & "Skin Tight Skin"

gah I saw two Suzi Quatro records the other day and was thinkin about gettin em. had too much other stuff I wanted so I put em back.

the self titled Suzi Quatro album is great. it has those two songs, but i've picked up another album of hers (If You Knew Suzi) and it's not very good.

Gene Clark Disco

wicked site, jaxon; great stuff! looks like the jan hammer link is gone, but i'll have to check out those tracks; i've got a "best of the early years" thing which has a couple of tracks from melodies.. it's pretty awesome over-the-top... i really dig his stuff with jeck beck as well; (wired, there and back, and was he on blow by blow??) though it's far more straight-up (but super funky) instrumental rock fusion shit.

elsewhere, just picked up brass construction III which is mighty awesome; sick grooves and gnarly ernie isley style guitar leads

I dunno but nothing screams, "i'm a twit and i need a good punch in the cock" like people using genre tags like "beardo disco"

well kindly fuck off then

inlikeflint otm, what a dumb idea for a thread, lets cancel ilm

winston, the jan hammer song is with his group called just Hammer
http://robotsinheat.com/trax/BlackSheep.mp3

Forgive me, Father, for I now somehow quite enjoy most of The Eagles' The Long Run. Also, Robots In Heat and Beat Electric rule hard, but anyone curious about facial hair and its lazy relation to music selection could also check out where Jaxon and, uh, many other (mainly Cali) noids reside--Dream Chimney.

(Also xpost, Just attended Special Disco Version in Toronto--very consistent and fun, and I remain drenched from the sauna-like climes.)

THREE new releses on WEWW this past week. piccadilly is sold out but phonica has copies $$$$

is altair nouveau this guy?

http://www.altairnouveau.com/

been enjoying his stuff

i played a track from The Eagles' The Long Run ("Those Shoes" beastie boys sample) at dan selzer's dazzleships!

Dan Selzer's... Dazzleships!

DAZZLE SHIPS

featuring Dan Selzer

coming up we've got Frank from the old Vampyros Lesbos party playing nothing but African music he dug up while traveling around Africa for 3 years.

Yeah that's me! Glad you enjoy the music! Supposed to have some 12"s at some point.
I pretty much lurk on ilm for certain threads like this one.

has anyone heard anything on Lovelock? Their tracks have been showing up here and there and i know/can find nothing

and has anyone heard this prins thomas version of ricardo villalobos' fizpatrick?!? it's on the RA podcast this week by Gerd Janson

haha they are already on sale at discogs for 35-50 pounds. the laughing light of plenty one sounds good.

Dan Selzer and the Dazzleships

i scored two of the three, wasn't really feeling the Bobbie Marie

can't get enough of Cole Medina - Love You Inside out (The Pinches Mix) today

The Mungolian Jetset Remix Aeroplane played was probably the remix of They Came From The Stars I Saw Thems Moon Song out REAL SOON!

http://www.myspace.com/mungolianjetset

Comes with Holy Ghost Remixes which Aeroplane have also been playing.

has the DFA actually become the same level of commercial juggernaut as astralwerks or fabric, that they are subject to knee-jerk diss?

long way of asking why "notwave" is getting the unfair shake from reviewers.

just read the late 70s Richard Price book Ladies' Man -- turns out that's where the name Map of Africa comes from

when the protagonist Kenny finally gets some there's a line about "a wet spot on the dark brown sheets the exact shape of the continent of Africa"

I roffled

xpost weird, you beat me to a revive

is notwave any good? I asked about it on the supersoul thread and a couple ilxors dissed it too. so it ain't just critics ...

yeah i was on the supersoul thread too. i got the compilation sampler with some records the other week and i like a few of the tracks

some of it is so-so but the core of it is **killer**

i think just about every review i've read so far is guilty of not recognizing its strengths

strengths = two amazing tim love lee tracks (one very no wave, one balearic in the style of the police), a great tussle remix by sal p, an astounding mr chin track that one-ups the tussle track by blending disco punk with 808-state-style acid house (think "yeah (pretentious mix)" meets "let yourself go"). and a bunch of other good stuff too.

i guess its easy to ignore the strengths when we've been enduring a glut of good new disco and edits

i guess to reiterate what vahid said, this is from the supersoul thread

Notwave is Notgood

notwave's not terrible, just not up to dfa standards.
first few songs sound like factory/joy division rips.
tussle song is rad (tribal dance).
Mr Chin song is fantastic (sounds like some long lost rapture remix).
circuits sounds like the police w/o stings vocals. near the end sounds like animal collective vocals.
The Welcome Strangers sounds like a chicago house version of peter gunn.
the rest are half baked noisy nonsongs

ysi the good traxx suckas

when are you gunna start buying music you lame

but i think even the "bad" tracks are not so bad that they take away from the good tracks. like people are saying that the free blood track is "disorganized non-music" or something like that, what about some love for the peeps that listen to us maple

did we already talk about

prins thomas' "full pupp presents the greatest tits" comp
rong music "promo only" comp

i think i already posted this here, but:

a friend asked harvey what "map of africa" meant. he said it was "the wet spot left on the mattress after lovemaking."

dmr - have u heard the idjuts edit of "for your love" on the phantom slasher LP?

smokin.

;)

also- re: "greatest tits"-- Full Pupp is Norwegian slang for Big Tits

GIS for "full pupp" looked very different when the label only had a few releases 3 or 4 years ago
