Gestures of rock in the vocals, the rock gesture in the production, the manipulation of sound, sound being the manipulator in terms of cool versus sound being a manipulator in terms of your body.
What does this mean? It's very interesting. I'd like to talk to him myself, it's not as if I make music right now and could do anything with it, but I'm just curious. Like his way of thinking about music makes sense to me and then there's a side of my brain that says if I had a band, it should sound like Big Black. There's some weird tension between hating a lot of things about rock and thinking there needs to be a canon. I guess that's often the space where the most interesting work gets done.

that's so wrong and, even if it wasn't, what's wrong with that? The writer seems a bit of a dick, at least give them some respect if you're going to rip off their idea.

Jeez, Spencer... is that sarcasm I detect?This is Nick Sylvester we're talking about. It's not like he's one of those shallow, superficial L.A. people.

it made me think almost the opposite, like the problems i have with some ompakt(ish) tunes...well, sometimes they do sound like just the beginning. there's no there there innit. DFA tunes tend to go through stages as if there's this dance telos moment they wish to achieve. like, Hasn't anyone learned anything from what we learned about making disco tracks, making disco edits that just get better and better and better? made me really excited. do that! i'll do it as long as i can dance to it!

James: That sounds good. This has to be you and your friends.
Pitchfork: It is. Will you remix it?
James: I'm not sure. I really--
Pitchfork: It's about my ex-girlfriend.
James: Okay, that's--
Pitchfork: She dumped me for an LA type who graduated from Harvard-Westlake. Now I hate Weezer.
James: I don't see why that's--
Pitchfork: I want to crush him with boats.
James: So East Coast.

otm. perhaps Michael Mayer should make more song based music, which goes somewhere. bah this is just the usual DFA real band bias thing which always comes through.
I wonder how much further this masculinisation of disco can go!

stir I was being facetious a bit I guess, that's what seems odd about the comment aswell, and probably makes it not specific to Mayer really, not much of his stuff is based on total repetition. Even Kompakt as a label, relative to other dance labels, are quite song based, I'd have said.

Murphy's "you turn that up and down for 7 minutes and mute shit, go fuck yourself" typifies this.
If I want an egomaniacal record once every 7 years I'll come back to you dude.

And there's no programming/synths in DFA productions...
And explain how "song-based" equates to "real band" while you're at it.
