lol i love how this never ceases to be a point of confusion with this band

fyi, new Windsurf 12" with Studio remix forthcoming on Internasjonal....

I should note that description doesn't apply to the full glory of "Origin (Shake You Down By The River)" on Yearbook 1.

Wait a second!! I didn't realize they had 2 songs with the same title, and it's very possible this is the one I'm thinking of.

So, the biggest difference between the 2006 LP and the 2007 2LP is Self Service. The version on the 2006 LP is longer and has more of a baggy Stone Roses beat, riding a little bit more of a consistent groove, whereas the 2007 version is a bit more pop-song-structured, with the steel drums more prominent, calling a bit more attention to its different parts. Definately two completely different recordings. This song also falls into different slots in the track order on the two versions of the album. Love them both; the 2006 version would work better in a DJ set.

The 2006 version of Origin is really only the last two minutes of the 2007 version. The 2007 version is a re-recording of a song on their third 7", Shake You Down By the River, which is why it appears on Yearbook 1 as Origin (Shake You Down By the River). Yet the same version appears on the 2007 2LP as just Origin.

Indo is great on both versions, albeit 4 times as long on the 2007 version. The two sound like they could both be from the same recording.

As far as I can tell, Out There, West Coast, and Life's A Beach! are the same.

Like I said, confusing.

So, while Tim's take upthread is spot on, he was really listening to a different album than most of us are listening to now.

Okay .. my mistake.. it's the one from Yearbook One.. I love this song. LOVE!

Thanks ♪☺♫☻. I'm still confused though.

if you scour this thread... you will find a link to the 2006 LP, courtesy of me.

commencing scour.

yeah if someone wants that d lissvik full length i can pm?

err, email. not sure how ilm works yet apparently

ay psychgawsple hit me up-- m4xr34d at gmail, except with As instead of 4s and E instead of 3

yessssss, i am totally jammin d lissvik. i'm glad i was expecting to be kinda disappointed, so now i'm pleasantly surprised. i love how one-man-jammy it feels, that video posted upthread was really appropriate and funny.

psychgawsple, i've sent email via ILX service. have included lovely gift in email. thx.

is this offer still happening? if you can send a link to t1mgr00mbri✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧ that would be so rad (1s and 0s in place of i and oo)

i'm trying to send out that first one still, gmail is taking forevvvvvvvverrrrrr

Hey cutty thank you, the 8:16 version of Self Service sounds like the best track the Happy Mondays never made

requesting 2006 version of "self service" and "no comply" vinyl re-release plzzzzzz

oh my email up there is t1m gr00mbridge at gmail

It's upthread grady, under the "Santana" link

no no no i have the mp3s-- i'm just saying its shitty that the only way i can get those two songs on vinyl is by paying over $100 on ebay/discogs

Oh yes, my reading comprehension was off due to giddyness of finally having the mp3s.

it's being uploaded as we speak, i can't believe i was trying to straight email that zip. like i said, i don't know how this stuff works yet

you all better buy it from mike b, btw

I tend not to talk up the long "Origin" as much as the long "Self Service", perhaps partly because talking up the long "Self Service" confers dorky music cred points. The long versions of both sound a lot more like each other than the short versions, so they're... not interchangeable, but they stand at the centre of the record as twin attempts to totally marry the group's pop song side with tantric longform grooves. Both kinda veer off into the latter completely in their second half with marvelous results.

The long Self Service has that great trancey synth hook that pops up about half way through and is absent from the short one.

Yes. It's the key moment in the song! I was kinda shocked to hear the short version. It seemed decadent to bury such a great idea.

xpost

lol srsly!

pretty sure i'll have LP & CD by next tuesday. if not then the following tues.

thanks pyschgawsple! and yeah i have ordered it, i'm just impatient

still awaiting my yearbook 2 poster

damn we give them so much bizness

i paid like 60 scheckles for yearbook 1 when it came out

why did u buy in israel

tax loophole, you wouldn't understand

those posters are super dope, i would buy one if my gf wouldn't kill me upon delivery. my apartment is music memorabilia overload. i just need a new, bigger apartment so i can put up my uk subway posters of the Technique and Pills'n'Thrills album covers ;)

wow that poster.

lol i just ordered the new cd and poster from the site, and one of those expensive studio tshirts (the white one) (altho the out of print one is obv the best). proud to be a sucker.

i was at a party on friday and wore my no comply black tee and it was recognized for the first time! proud to be a sucker as well though as i bought the above poster as well

but did it get you laid?

recognized = zitty music nerd saying "sweet shirt, great album" = not laid

just came back to thread to say i've also purchased cd + poster (35 USD) but then i saw Whale Wars' mention of t-shirts! FUCK!

i want one of them permanent vacation ones dan's got on in that video

this is a little old now, but here's the short interview i did with them. starts on page 60: http://www.futureclaw.com/

good interview.

haha were they kind of talking shit on the embassy/tough alliance/air france/boat club guys?

great interview, and it does sound like they were hassling those dudes! 'ppl getting up, singing into a flower with a cd playing'

anyone know where in nyc i can buy the fontan 12"?

doubt you're still looking for this but I found a copy at Etherea on Ave A a couple weeks ago

lol @ that interview. "If you wear a sailor hat, you're balearic."

thanks dmr, i found one at Kim's not long after. now I have to keep my eyes open for the lissvik album.

glad you guys like it. i don't think they were talking too much shit. whatever they said about the scene there, they seemed to really admire embassy, and they're buds with tough alliance (who they called during the interview to see if they wanted to drop by; their studio is down the street). boat club isn't really on the map.. the AF guys are also friends with TA (and good friends with Boat Club) but they only know studio dudes as acquaintances. no one said anything specifically, but i think if there is any sort of artistic rivalry, it's between studio and air france. the week i was there, the only tracks outranking studio's on the (something like) swedish iTunes was the entire AF ep. but, again, no one said anything, and that could all be over now... everyone i talked to when i was there thought the world of jens lekman, as a person and a performer.

Yeah the comment about "singing into flowers with the record playing" sounded like the kind of shit you talk about your friends.

Now I'm imagining Gothenburg gatherings where everyone's friends with everyone else except Studio and Air France, qwho kind of circle eachother awkwardly, knowing that only one of them can occupy the mutually desired structural position in the friendship circle.
