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

i understand all the disappointment in cosmic balearic beats. it was quite a letdown to me, especially cuz I hyped it upthread back in august or whatever and the lineup looked so promising. i still like a few of the tracks though. the computer incarnations for world peace comps were 100x better and the first was obviously better being a comp of old stuff, but i agree with psychgawsple here. i dig quite a few of the tracks on there.

i think i mentioned this on the pilooski/betty botox thread but the bonar bradberry mindless boogie is really workin for me right now.

figured i'd put this here since the thread is being ignored.

Fan Death

erol alkan remix. sweet video. kinda chromatics/glass candyish

sorta surprised to see no mention of golf channel records on this thread. only three limited-edition 12"s have been released, so i guess that could have something to do with it. and they're sorta mysterious and have no official myspace site or anything. but ya. this stuff is awesome, especially the holy jungle 12" by ghost note. mark e seems to be the only artist i recognize associated with the whole thing...

http://www.discogs.com/label/Golf+Channel+Recordings

some of these seem to still be available for purchase- i picked up 'try to find me vol. 1' at amoeba last week (could've been the last copy though)

san frandisco posted a mix recently with 'try to find me' in it. great track.

http://discohorror.blogspot.com/2008/11/gobble-gobble.html

ooh there's a lot of good stuff in that mix. i dig that golem edit; the "eden rock" track they released this year is all kinds of catchy/awesome.

also- it's odd that noid released multiple edits of "slow blow" by different artists. i'm not sure the version on the phantom slasher disc i mentioned above is better than that major swellings one

i have a copy of the original slow blow 12" coming in the mail :D

re: golf channel

i think we did talk about r&b drunkie a bit. but then nobody really heard the ghost note release ... i think it was noted somewhere because i'd made a joke about making a whole album using the same titles as don cherry's "holy mountain" soundtrack, and then these dudes went and made "pissed and passed out"! and the new one just came out, right, so maybe nobody's heard it? but "sir mr dr to you" is pretty great.

yeah i guess it depends on your tolerance for cheesy vocal samples, but i am seriously smitten with that "pissed and passed out" track. and it gets bonus points for involving actual musicians and not being a remix or edit or anything. and RA is right when they call it pretty much the most "beardo" thing ever- those guitar lines!

this has been getting much play in my apt. highly recommended esp if you like the Pilooski psych edits, or any psych edits really.

anyone have the quiet village ra podcast? archive.org page for it does not load
thanks

that BtWS disc is missing some of the best tracks? where's "space"? where's "let it shine"?

(obviously they didn't want to fuck around w/ the legal repercussions of a shatner sample)

BTWS cd includes 'light years' which is a stones edit so sampling mustnt have been an issue to them, arent mick n keef usually pretty tight about this sort of thing?

perhaps they have relaxed on that score since in the last couple of years they have handed over tracks to people like fat boy slim and dj shadow for those official remixes ?

hadnt thought of that, the dr dre & neptunes ones were both official remixes as well. i wonder if things like the in flagranti edit of emotional rescue was officially Ok'd by the glimmer twins

that BtWS disc is easily in my top 10 this year. still stand by my earlier comment, though, that "let it shine" and "space" are the best things they've done.

i agree, it's a superb compilation. there's a couple of live sets by them on erol alkan's website as well that are almost as great

There's no way the BtWS disc is licensed; it's out only in a few indie shops and is based entirely around re-edits of recognizable, mostly major label material, which screams "unlicensed." I'm forced to conclude they left off "Let it Shine" and "Space" because they felt other tracks were a better use of space on the disc, which is clearly insane, but their prerogative.

As for the In Flagranti edit, it's on Mindless Boogie, and I don't think they bother licensing their stuff either (not that I blame them, licensing costs for one track would probably wipe out most of the money from the entire runs of most of their 12"s).

By the way, according to Alkan's mailing list, there's a compilation of BtWS remixes coming out in early 2009. Here's Discogs' list; there's some great stuff, especially the Late of the Pier and Midlake mixes.

Late of the Pier - The Bears Are Coming (BtWS Reanimation or whatever) is awesome, easily one of my favorite remixes this year

yeah i dont even like LOTP & i love that remix

mikebee, if you're reading this, are there copies of "fistful of ferrets" at amoeba sf?

indeed, does anybody know where to get a copy in the US?

http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=44204646&blogID=459834100

Prins Thomas posted a 6 hour set he did in Thessaloniki on December 22nd...

i ordered copies of both Vol.2 and Vol.3 from Amoeba 3 or 4 weeks ago. still prefer vol.1 to both of those but DC Recordings has quietly put together a great set of releases over the last few years.

how does one mail order from amoeba?

forget it, i figured it out

yeah vahid, dunno if you saw my message on the other thread, but amoeba sf is the exclusive carrier of 'fistful of ferrets' in north america and we still have some left. for mail order, just call the store...

new stuff from the revenge and 6th borough project are particularly good!

http://www.discogs.com/Revenge-Night-Flight-Unfinished-Edits-Are-Out-Of-My-Hands-Savin-The-Day/release/1526679

http://www.discogs.com/6th-Borough-Project-Part-One/release/1547540

finally revenge is getting some ilm love! i said this on another thread, but they post a lot of exclusive/awesome edits on this site: http://ooft.blogspot.com/. i think most of them may be expired by now, but there are still a lot of mixes and it's where they put the new stuff, so it's worth checking out.

i especially liked the christmas ones

when you said Revenge I thought you meant http://www.igetrvng.com/

have to check some of that stuff on the OOFT site

RVNG is partially based in philly...the "6th" borough.

no ordinary monkey has some more whatever we want stuff for sale

just bought House of House and the Laughing Light of Plenty repress

yay

I did the same but I ordered also the Food of The Gods ep.
Whooo

RVNG is partially based in philly...the "6th" borough.

are you trying to confuse people? we were talking about "the revenge", based in glasgow, not the label you do mixes for selzer.

btw i have some of those expired OOFT edits bundles if anyone is interested...

I did 1 mix, but I'm just agreeing w/ DMR about the confusion. When I first saw that I thought it was some Dave P. and friends project.

pssst

^^^^ I posted "the rose" on my site http://discohorror.blogspot.com/ back in sept, up for a short time, get it quick!

thanks mizzell on pointing out no ordinary monkey

i really like that dr. dunks track, too. wish they'd get some more copies of that one.

what's the deal with this house of house?

laughing light of plenty is so amazing. best dance record of 2008, no contest imo.

House Of House is the New York City-based dance music duo of
Saheer Umar (Super Family) and Olivier "Liv" Spencer (Still Going, DFA,
Manthraxx). Not content with the zeitgeist of the city's sagging dance
music scene, House Of House was formed to inject a grandiose and soul-searing bit of drama onto the dance floor, a lost element that once made legends of the great clubs of yesteryear. Influenced by the classic sounds of New York and New Jersey Deep House, seminal Techno outfits like Basic Channel and Underground Resistance and the soulful sounds of Imagination, Womack and Womack and Sade.

This winter House Of House releases their debut 12", Rushing to Paradise (Walkin' These Streets), on Brooklyn-based cult label, Whatever We Want Records (Quiet Village, Map of Africa).

OUT 01.21.2008 ON WHATEVER WE WANT RECORDS

you weren't so bad yourself, stir. my top two singles on Pazz & Jop ballot were:

1. "Beginning of the Heartbreak (Betty Botox edit)" Love of Life Orchestra (Endless Flight)
2. "The Rose" The Laughing Light of Plenty (Whatever We Want Records)

aw shucks. thanks beta blog!

also, another undermentioned disco editing force within the beardo community is Loud-E, I know Y.O.Y. popped up on a few threads but these two off Ambassador's Reception are rawking me right now:

http://www.discogs.com/Loud-E-Drums-Dutour-II/release/1561992/

http://www.discogs.com/Loud-E-Robolove/release/1384988

he also has a new album coming out, has anyone heard?
http://www.discogs.com/Loud-E-Loudefied/release/1577210

so this "repress" of the Rose....is it legit?
