yeah stirmonster otm, that superpitcher interview was great and mr pitcher sounded totally at ease and as if he was enjoying himself, which for me is more entertaining than hearing him discuss who his influences are or whatever the textbook thing is.

also judging by BIS setlists (I don't always get to listen to the show live), and the Our Disco set, and the Backlash set he did for ourselves in Dublin, Tim knows his music plenty.

And I mean, on further reflection that Superpitcher interview pretty much was the first time I ever heard him talk, and it felt very like his persona, so if the main skill of interviewing is getting the subject to relax then Tim did fine.

(while we're here, anyone know what the techy track Superpitcher plays that samples "Plastic Doll" by Dharma is. it's not DJ T, though I know there are probably a few electrohouse tracks that sample that tune)

Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 21:00 (twenty years ago)

hah, I emailed Tim asking him that and never responded. I couldn't remember the context enough to sort it out in the playlist.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

the superpitcher interview was so cute. it made me love aksel even more. so so adorable.

phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 22:44 (twenty years ago)

i realized that like all my ilm posts are "xxxxx is so cute!!! omg so adorable!". i should probably just stick to ile. sorry.

phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

what ronan & phil &c&c said - keep on keepin' on, BiS!

etc, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

xpost-ilm needs more cute and adorable topiced posts.

Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 23:04 (twenty years ago)

i think the interviews are great

Nick Sylvester, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 23:12 (twenty years ago)

xpost-ilm needs more words like 'topiced'. LET'S MAKE A DICTIONARY

jergins (jergins), Thursday, 22 September 2005 00:06 (twenty years ago)

If i can't pick it up on the radio and can find sets as enjoyable or more so through other outlets, why do i have to give thanks to Beats In Space?

you don't. unless someone has you at gunpoint, forcing you download the sets and praise tim loudly. is that what's happening? that's fucked up.

lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 22 September 2005 00:17 (twenty years ago)

lauren is so cute!!! omg so adorable!

phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 22 September 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

!!

lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 22 September 2005 00:45 (twenty years ago)

!!! sorry outside smoking

phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 22 September 2005 00:57 (twenty years ago)

I loved the Trevor Jackson interview. He's pretty spiky and irascible, but he's great fun to listen to.

Telephonething (Telephonething), Thursday, 22 September 2005 01:05 (twenty years ago)

I'm 99% sure the track that samples "Plastic Doll" is "Odyssey" by Steve Barnes & Riley Reinhold. It's much better than the DJ T track I'd say.

Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 22 September 2005 01:27 (twenty years ago)

but why not just play Dharma?!??!

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 22 September 2005 02:22 (twenty years ago)

because it wouldn't be electrohouse if it wasn't gutting old italo records!

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 22 September 2005 08:09 (twenty years ago)

hey, I'm a real renegade, I play the vocal version of Plastic Doll!

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 22 September 2005 11:38 (twenty years ago)

I used to play it all the time but with how big electrohouse is here now, italo has got very very big and so so many 19-23 year old guys I know, who DJ, play all the sort of bigger italo tunes all the time.

Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 22 September 2005 21:01 (twenty years ago)

goddam those 19-23 year olds!

stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 22 September 2005 23:03 (twenty years ago)

19-23 year olds in ny are hip enough to know italo-disco is "cool", some even talk about actual records, but god knows I'd be delighted to see more then 5 people dancing in the same room! Hell, Alexander Robotnik performed live a few weeks ago and by all means it was a success, but it wasn't exactly crowded, you know?

Tim and I (and James Friedman and Jon Santos) are djing a performance tonight where Brion Paul gets drunk for the first time ever. First sip at 11pm.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 22 September 2005 23:14 (twenty years ago)

no idea who brion paul, is but with james friedman present, god help him!

stirmonster (stirmonster), Thursday, 22 September 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

Hell, Alexander Robotnik performed live a few weeks ago and by all means it was a success, but it wasn't exactly crowded, you know?

I was standing outside Love that night with some people and we couldn't figure out how the hell to get into the fucking place. They muttered and went on their drunken way and I stood there for a second more like a jackass before I realized what the damned arrow was saying. But, that crowd was pretty decent considering the cover price.

whoops and roy dank

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 23 September 2005 00:11 (twenty years ago)

that was interesting. It was fun and unique for a while, then kind of sad. I thought it may be a put on but well, if he was faking throwing up he's a hell of an actor.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 23 September 2005 05:19 (twenty years ago)

and why'd he have to go throw up when I was djing? No, god forbid somebody throw up while Tim Sweeney or James Fucking Friedman are djing, heavens no! But let Dan Selzer on the turntables and its a freaking vomitorium.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 23 September 2005 05:20 (twenty years ago)

that's what happens when you play those crazy rhythms, dan ;-)

willem (willem), Friday, 23 September 2005 06:30 (twenty years ago)

the vomitarium would be a good name for a club.

(maybe not in Dublin though, we are still getting over catholicism)

looks great dan, can't wait to listen.

g®▲đұ, Friday, 1 June 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

thanks for the kind words people. The Carter track is from a CTI comp...the real shock of the evening is that I forgot to bring Carter's The Space Between CD, which was something I'd discussed with Tim some time ago that got us talking about this stuff.

dan selzer, Friday, 1 June 2007 21:25 (nineteen years ago)

the chris carter is also on his 'mondo beat' lp. i'm really looking forward to downloading this. tim told me about it a few weeks ago and was super psyched. glad to see sweeney played 'sun flight' - that's one of my desert island discs. good work mr. selzer.

stirmonster, Friday, 1 June 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

Great mix, Dan!

Capitaine Jay Vee, Friday, 1 June 2007 23:38 (nineteen years ago)

dan your set was really good!

currently listening to the 15th anniversary mix, the classics disc starts off with victor from washington heights of course.

electric sack butt (haitch), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 05:42 (eleven years ago)

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The second half is a bit spotty and I missed playing certain stuff I wanted to get to, but Tim was kind enough to have already given me a ton of time.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 15:16 (eleven years ago)

1000th show this week and a great selection of tunes from the last 20 years played, many of which I'd completely forgotten about (like KZA and Sidwho?)

Wow! Great song, but no idea on the ID--Neu! '75 meets Roxy downtown

Kangol In The Light (Craig D.), Friday, 21 May 2021 14:23 (five years ago)

yeah sounds like a band losing themselves in a La Düsseldorf/Eno wormhole

willem, Friday, 21 May 2021 14:26 (five years ago)

Sounds like a Conny Plank production. Where’s Julian Cope’s Krautrockshazampler when you need it.

Michael F Gill, Friday, 21 May 2021 20:54 (five years ago)

no idea but it's so good!

donna rouge, Friday, 21 May 2021 21:23 (five years ago)

Has anybody asked him?

dan selzer, Saturday, 22 May 2021 02:57 (five years ago)

found it!!

The Mickey Bliss Band - Trapezoid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7w1lxC3fvI

donna rouge, Saturday, 22 May 2021 21:05 (five years ago)

I asked him if it was a song vahid thought it was and he said with the name I’d this thread he wasn’t going to help.

dan selzer, Saturday, 22 May 2021 22:05 (five years ago)

Excellent work xp

I was also searching for "trapezoid" as the title and guessed early 80s.

Noel Emits, Sunday, 23 May 2021 10:52 (five years ago)

Can't believe the thread title finally made Tim Sweeney go off the inernet because of you 16 years later.

Noel Emits, Sunday, 23 May 2021 13:00 (five years ago)

I grabbed the 12” off Discogs already. Almost Ready in Brooklyn had a copy

dan selzer, Sunday, 23 May 2021 15:53 (five years ago)

12" ?

Noel Emits, Sunday, 23 May 2021 15:57 (five years ago)

Sorry single. I didn’t think I even noticed what size it was.

"Sweeney, as well as guest DJs, will be paid, and the artists whose music appears in DJ mixes will also be paid out from the streaming service."

This seems like a good development.

MikoMcha, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 13:08 (four years ago)

I've already offered my guest DJ services
