Yeah, the Twitch from Mint Music.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 10:37 (twenty-one years ago)

October 4 - mark in your diary - Annie plays at Trash.

― marianna lcl, Tuesday, 14 September 2004 11:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know anything whatsover about the Mint Music Twitch, beyond "Chup this up" being ace. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.

― Tag (Tag), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 11:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoa, wait - this Trash? Or another place, somewhere else?

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 11:12 (twenty-one years ago)

This place, Matthew.

Who will answer my 'Heartbeat' question?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 11:13 (twenty-one years ago)

The midweeks... are not encouraging. However, looking at the rest of them, I'm really quite happy that Lex is doing the rundown this week...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 11:38 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, I'm getting the impression that 'Heartbeat' has never been officially released, despite floating around for ages. Is that right?

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Is No Easy Love a cover? It sounds familiar...

― JoB (JoB), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 12:13 (twenty-one years ago)

"Me Plus One" = "(Keep Feeling) Fascination"

thought that straight away too. nothing else to add to this thread really now that i'm finally hearing the album, except

Mark's right about 'Keep Feeling Fascination,' the vocal melody in the verses is just way too similar, but who cares am I joining in the love and effusive praise for Annie. The rhythm on "Happy Without You" is fun.

― Dare, Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Expo.

― Dare, Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah! You're right, it does remind me of "Fascination" a bit.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Also - the guitar bit on 'Me+1' sounds like it might have been sampled from Orange Juice's 'Rip it Up'. (Or Haircut 100 - the title might be a tip of the hat to 'Love+1'?)

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

'No Easy Love' IS a cover but who by i just can't for the life of me recall

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

'Me Plus One' is an RX-Hannah Robinson penned production too.

PS I envy all of you.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve, maybe you could forego that dance disc for an Anniemal plus previous releases disc instead.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

"No Easy Love" sounds like something by Trembling Blue Stars

― the todster (the todster), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 15:15 (twenty-one years ago)

i thought 'no easy love' is just very similar to something else though can't recall what. google-age turns up no other song with that title. it's really been bugging me though. it recalls a love unlimited tune i think (scratches head).

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 14 September 2004 15:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Ronan - I haven't got those remixes yet. No hurry though! Gmail can be as shit as Hotmail sometimes.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

can i make a request for those too?

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

(this is only vaguely Annie-related but when I try to send mp3s via gmail it tells me that the document I am sending contains no data. What Am I Doing Wrong? Annie remixes totally up for grabs to anyone who can help)

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I find I can only ever send one, maybe two mp3s at any one time. but it doesn't tell me stuff about no data, it just sits there vacantly and refuses to send.

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 16:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It is very much doing this too. If I bung it all in a zip file it does the same thing. THIS IS NOT VERY REVOLUTIONARY, GMAIL

― Alex in Doncaster (Alex in Doncaster), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Neither me nor my elderly, cantankerous computer can cope with zip files...

― The Lex (The Lex), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm having no problems sending or receiving mp3 via gmail

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Tuesday, 14 September 2004 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Heartbeat was (i think) originally released as "I Will Get On" on Telle 7". I have this 7" with foldout poster featuring the original version and a superb Doc L Junior Mix. Both versions are excellent. The discogs posting for this single says it contains elements of Heartbeat. I also have her collaboration with some bizarre male vocalist. Not her best effort but another piece of the story. I also have two copies of the Erot 12" on Discfunction titled Two Songs for Annie. Interestingly, neither feature Annie's voice but one samples that Pop Will Eat Itself song that goes "We Like The Music, We Like The Disco Sound". I'm dying to share my Annie collection for a copy of Anniemal. I have most everything encoded from original vinyl to trade. BTW, i have ordered both UK CD Singles and the 7" of Chewing Gum so i'm not STEALING MUSIC (as Mr. James Barth would say!)

Long Live Bergen, Norway!!!

Anyone on Slsk with Anniemal would let you leech till you die if you let 'em download those, I'd wager.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 01:55 (twenty-one years ago)

not on SLSK unfortunately.

― biznotic, Wednesday, 15 September 2004 03:39 (twenty-one years ago)

GET ON IT!

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 08:17 (twenty-one years ago)

like, uh, now

― frenchbloke (frenchbloke), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 08:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Biznotic, the "bizarre male vocalist" collab. is the Fredrik Saroea single, which is also on the Discogs page and I also referenced it upthread. Didn't know 'Song For Annie' was also a 12", but seeing as they're technically songs for her by her then-boyfriend, it's no suprise she doesn't sing, y'know?

PS, Affectian/SPACK is sharing just about everything Annie's ever done on slsk already, suggest y'all have a word with him.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah - thanks for that biznotic. I was wondering about 'I Will Get On'. So saying it contains "elements" of 'Heartbeat' is understating it, then?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 09:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Saw Annie DJ at the Bestival on Saturday. She was fantastic, really. She played This is Radio Clash and (I think) Lopazz feat. Alex Cortex: "I Need Ya Hi Time" and a remix of Chewing Gum as well as looking fantastic and having loads of fun - singing along and so on. Lovely.

― Jamie (Jamie T Smith), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone needs to find some dirt on Annie.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:18 (twenty-one years ago)

i found some, just below her left elbow. did you know below is an anagram of elbow?

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:26 (twenty-one years ago)

My sources tell me she's "lovely". Sorry, that's not dirt. Errr, she eats babies.

― Tag (Tag), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Isn't 'Heartbeat' a Royksopp production tho'? 'I Will Get On' was produced by Erot etc.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Barima, mail me

Done, Ste.

I didn't get what the fuss was about Chewing Gum till I saw the video last night and now I can't get the damn thing out of my head. It definitely takes a few listens to hit home.

― mms (mms), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

we like the music, we like the disco sound, riffs, yeah, can u dig it?

MAJOR reworking...looks cool as fuck

― manuel (manuel), Thursday, 16 September 2004 00:43 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean - http://www.anniemusic.co.uk

Just heard this album today btw - loving it!

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 16 September 2004 01:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Just listened to Heartbeat on the Annie website and can positively say it bears no resemblence to I Will Get On...not even close. Must be a diff. Heartbeat refered to on the discogs listing.

agree that the new site is cool...not cool as fuck but cool as a september evening.

― biznotic, Thursday, 16 September 2004 03:02 (twenty-one years ago)

WHEN IS HER ALBUM COMING OUT IN THE STATES?????????

― reo, Thursday, 16 September 2004 03:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't understand all the people on this thread who have said that Chewing Gum is a grower - it's like the most instantly catchy thing ever, I mean, that's kind of the point of it surely?! I think all these people might be joking.

― pete b. (pete b.), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:21 (twenty-one years ago)

It took a while to get under my skin. I heard it and thought "This is objectively catchy" (if that means anything) but I took a few listens to really appreciate it. I still don't love it nearly as much as 'Heartbeat', but 'Heartbeat' is rapidly becoming one of my favourite songs of all time, so that's not surprising,

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't understand all the people on this thread who have said that Chewing Gum is a grower

OTM.

The first things I thought - in order - where: This is good, sounds like The Tom Tom Club, This is REALLY catchy, who is it? Oh, so THAT'S the Annie that everyone's been talking about on ILM.

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 16 September 2004 08:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I got it about the same time as Heartbeat and preferred that for a while. Alba otm, I thought "this sounds catchy but it's not catching". I was literally about to post on this thread and say "I'm not really feeling Chewing Gum" then I thought about it and thought "well maybe I'll listen to it again, I kind of have it in my head now".

And well, the rest is history.
