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

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:

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

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...

San frandisco is hideously ugly and never leaves the house, mike

And i do a lot of meth!

Mikebee, bonerfaceheadface(max) actually mentioned to me that you work at Amoeba when I first moved up here to SF, but I haven't had a chance to swing by yet because I'm still looking for a place in the city. Thanks for the tip though, I am looking to reduce the carbon footprint, and I will try to stop by soon.

Oh and some shameful self-promotion of my blog. Just posted the new Time & Space Remix of AMO1 if anyone is interested, don't mind the header, I'm workin on it.

Could you post a link to your blog? I'm a fan of the Fontan mix of AMO1, but the snippets I've heard of the Time and Space rmx sound even better (and I'm enjoying the Time and Space album, too).

i put it in the last post as "my blog," but here it is more explicitly.

Disco Horror

Cheers - couldn't see the hypertext link on my 'puter.

who has heard the new Jacques Renault edits on RVNG, they are all incredible

bad skinned is up on 20JFG

yeah that song is dope, that's the best one on there imo

definitely the best, the laser effects are amazing. does anyone know what the original is?

they sold out of them in like a week. :(

Anyone heard Food of the Gods?

just came to post this

17 bucks for a 12" is too pricey for me so have at it

you can probably resell it for 50 in two months

or maybe that's all a myth. i see them for sale at ridiculous sums, but do people really buy them?

LOL!

can i hear this anywhere

this japanese site has a sample (I can't get it to work)
http://www.newtone-records.com/index2.php?id=n_t0033129

miho hatori was (is?) in cibo matto

yeah, they broke up. who is tim koh?

I asked Jacques what "Bad Skinned" was but he wouldn't dish. it's from Eastern Europe, it's a really shitty record, and it has nil web presence.
Food of the Gods is alreet, but it's no Laughing Light of Plenty.

who is tim koh?

plays bass for white magic and guitar for ariel pink
http://www.timkoh.com/releases.html

$17? faaaaaaaaaaaaaack off. what a bunch of elitist bullshit.

fyi SF heads - Bumrocks LP in stock now!

just deleted an email saying something about discount Whatever We Want releases being sold at the next No Ordinary Monkey party.

Bumrocks LP release party at Dazzle Ships...sometime in december maybe.

Bought that Bumrocks LP from Phonica the other day. Have yet to listen....

so does anyone know if some nurave-y/french filter house type of band has sampled the part from like 4 seconds to 20 seconds? i have the 12" and it sounds just so familiar. put it on last night before i went out to get ready to see daniel wang and funnily enough he played it :D
