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

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

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 $$$$

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

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

lol I knew I had read that somewhere before, I thought it was in a magazine interview

Ladies' Man is a pretty good book

it was in the fantastic man article, i think.
so are the harvey at love events fun? thinking about going tonight. not sure if i am up for it

are they still at cielo?

no the Harvey at love events are at love

I just BOUGHT Notwave via iTunes. I'm liking it, I also don't think any of those tracks are really joy division/factory rips. The first two are certainly New Wavey, and maybe not far off from stuff like Colder or Lansing-Dreiden but still different enough and interesting enough to not be written off as a straight JD rip.
I like the sound of almost all of it, even if some of the songs I wish went somewhere...I love the Research track but kept waiting for a change.

Surprised Freddie Mas wasn't included.

what has he done since that ESG split like 5 years ago?

he has a few releases on a label called Run Roc, one is an itunes only release of like 60 1 minute songs, then there's this single, Pillar, which has it's own myspace page:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=223567737

and a great song called Painless that I don't think is out yet but can be heard on the Run Roc website:

http://www.run-roc.com/artists/fmaspage/freddiemas.html

On the Full Pupp Greatest Tits comp, I really dig all the Scando-acid-house stuff that comes off that label. Magnus International's remix of "Afterski" is really good IMO, but I have been listening to the Diskjokke "Cearadactylus" track on repeat. I posted it to my new blog last week. I like most of the tracks off the unmixed and while the mix CD is enjoyable, it's kind of a let down for PT, but then again maybe that's because he's contained within similar sounding tracks from his label.

Also has anyone else heard the Time And Space Machine Remix(btw anyone else think it of AMO1's Ride? Really feelin it right now, it will probably go up in a post soon.

...monday morning.

Has anyone else heard the Time And Space Machine Remix of AMO1's Ride? Really feelin it right now, it will probably go up in a post soon. Who else finds it funny that one of the kings of nurave has been moonlighting into beardo tracks lately?

hey did i sell that to you at Amoeba last Wed. or Thurs.?

nope, snagged it off of Piccadilly

Who else finds it funny that one of the kings of nurave has been moonlighting into beardo tracks lately?

time and space is richard norris. he's not very nu rave.

sorry, confused time and space with beyond the wizard's sleeve, which is richard norris and erol alkan, who is very nu rave. my bad.

the grid were very old rave, tho. :)

SF - sorry, thought i had met you. not to BSP but you can get 99.999% of the stuff we discuss on this thread (meaning beardo/nu-disco/balearic) at your friendly local Amoeba and i guarantee it will be cheaper than shipping from Piccadilly. AND you reduce your carbon footprint as well...
