ha Tim whenever I visit Rhythm & Soul i feel like i have a personal assistant grafted to my hip. and i do always leave with a few records.

ANY word at all about superpitcher in melbourne?

― jon dale, Thursday, 4 August 2005 06:51 (twenty years ago)

Cheers for the comprehensive reply Tim. Yeah.. Rhythm and Soul are indeed friendly as fuck. One bloke even gave me his phone number and told me to give him a call if i ever fancy a pint. How's that for service? I'm used to being crucified by record shop staff for not being able to name the first 50 Strictly Rhythm cuts.. so makes a nice change.

two weeks pass...

2nd September at Honkytonks, bitches!

Who's with me?

You're either with me or against me.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 21 August 2005 11:22 (twenty years ago)

So you're all against me then...

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 22 August 2005 07:09 (twenty years ago)

Australia is a little outside of my budget Tim!

seriously contemplating dropping into melbourne on 2nd sept on the way to sydney... maybe see you there tim?

― jon dale, Monday, 22 August 2005 09:06 (twenty years ago)

Definitely! Drop me an e-mail (or call if you still have my number) if you can make it.

Michael I'll forgive you just this once.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 22 August 2005 11:19 (twenty years ago)

Will do Tim. Can I give yr email to my friend Lou, she'll definitely be checking the 'pitcher and is well worth meeting up with...

― jon dale, Monday, 22 August 2005 12:10 (twenty years ago)

ha, if I didn't have to pay an outrageous bond at the flat I'm moving to, I'd jump the ditch to see him again.

― etc, Monday, 22 August 2005 22:13 (twenty years ago)

OMG Superpitcher is the most useless e-mail interviewee I've ever come across!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 26 August 2005 23:48 (twenty years ago)

elaborate boy, or are you just mocking his lack of elaboration?

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Saturday, 27 August 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

"elaborate boy, or are you just mocking his lack of elaboration? "

Well, exactly. He answered half my questions with e.g. "I don't really think about it much. I try not think too much. Don't think too much!" The self-referencing doesn't really make up for the total lack of elucidation. Ah well, I always resent having to include the actual interview in my articles anyway so it'll probably just make it easier.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 27 August 2005 05:49 (twenty years ago)

tim! report! did he really join the dancefloor near the end?
(+ link to yr article if you've a chance!)

― etc, Monday, 5 September 2005 08:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Tim what did you make of it? The Sydney set was brilliant. Was very impressed by his scarf-wearing capabilities (it musta been HOT up there.) Not so impressed with low attendance though.

― jon dale, Monday, 5 September 2005 08:59 (twenty years ago)

my mum's knitting me a total 3 scarf!

also: um, anyone want to throw out sad trainspottery what-he-played stuff out there? i've been k-piecemeal w/my microhouse &c listening lately & any chance to get myself up to date at the last minute'd be fabulous.

― etc, Monday, 5 September 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

i wasn't doing so much of the trainspotting but the mayer/aguayo "slow", mayer mix of "happiness"... umm... (it's all a blur... i flew into sydney earlier that day after a morning of marking essays, and had already gone to see birchville cat motel et al...) highlight for me was nathan fake's "dinamo" - shivers down the spine.

― jon dale, Monday, 5 September 2005 11:52 (twenty years ago)

Let's Get Blown

― A Viking of Some Note (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 September 2005 11:54 (twenty years ago)

His set in Melbourne was surprisingly straight-down-the-line tech-house (neither Speicher banging nor soft fluffiness and melancholy). The only tune I can remember recognising right now is the Dominik Eulberg remix of "Cosmic Sandwich".

I find it near impossible to remain energetic for sets that begin at 2am after working all week 8:30 - 6:30, so it meant that my enthusiasm was lower than it would otherwise have been - I ended up leaving at 3:30 rather than hang around depressed with my own inability to dance. It sounded good though!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 5 September 2005 12:37 (twenty years ago)

I wish it was on NOW I was just dancing like a live Jesus!

― A Viking of Some Note (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 September 2005 13:14 (twenty years ago)

PS Tim I read somewhere that the same ppl that brought Superpitcher down are also bringing Matthew Dear and Mathew Jonson out to Oz. Good news, but no-one in Adelaide is game so it looks like I will be doing a lot of travelling in the next while.

― jon dale, Monday, 5 September 2005 13:41 (twenty years ago)

Yeah Mathew Jonson is playing Earthcore I think! But is doing side shows in Melb and Sydney. Sign ov the times.

More evidence: The local dance music boards were bursting with people saying "OMG Superpitcher!!" And when I was last in Mighty Music Machine they were playing Alcachofa and talking about those Villalobos pill overdose pics, then the guy behind the counter tried to upsell me the last Lawrence album, and then we started talking about Steve Barnes and My Best Friend.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 5 September 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

"irre"! "knartz iv"! v.astute w/nz's general election next week "mandate my ass"! wb's "baby's on fire" (w/dance routine!)! finished w/the m83 remix! &c! I was an emotional wreck by the end . . . almost a religious experience, &c.

― etc, Sunday, 11 September 2005 21:51 (twenty years ago)

So other than Today and "Tell Me About It" on Total 6 and the M83 remix, what else has Superpitcher been involved with this year? Other than "Tell Me About It" he hasn't released anything that's not a mix or remix has he?

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 12 September 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

If you haven't heard it already, his remix of Hell's "Je Regrette Everything" is awesome.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:15 (twenty years ago)

Also the Tocotronic remix (with Wasserman) for Kompakt Pop, and the SuperMayer mix of Losoul on Playhouse.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Tim, did you check him at Sunny's on Saturday.. Brown Alley i think. Only heard he was playing about 30mins before set was due to start, rushed there just in time, but tequila wasn't conducive to the music, or my head, and i left v.soon after i got there... gutted. Any good?

― Django Chaz, Tuesday, 13 September 2005 05:53 (twenty years ago)

I didn't know!!!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

What are these villalobos pill overdose pictures?

― Jacob (Jacob), Tuesday, 13 September 2005 07:49 (twenty years ago)

They're just pictures of Villalobos looking particularly wasted and unwashed at some gig, is all.

I was in a record store the other day and one of the guys behind the counter was playing Alcachofa over the loudspeaker. He turned to the other guy working there and said, "Hey, this album is by the guy in those pictures." The other guy looked totally shocked, and I can't say I blame him!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

These ones?

he looks like a camel

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 08:12 (twenty years ago)

Hah, he just looks like me when I worked as a kitchenhand (or at least looks like I felt). Not helped by the backdrop which also looks like where I used to work.

This is how I choose to view him as:

I'm pretty sure there is a better picture of that floating around ILM.

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

hahahaha he looks great

Oh THAT's the snorting pig noise! Sounds more like a monkey wrench to me, but hey.

I think I have to buy Total 6 now :(

― fandango (fandango), Sunday, 16 October 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

OK, last night, Superpitcher, Ada, Metope were like so much fun. so so much fun. but one track someone said was by jake fairley and had lots of bloopy noises in it and superpitcher was very excited to have and carried around all night with him in a bag around his neck, but wow it was good but i dont know the name of the track? can someone help? its by jake fairley and has bloopy noises and sometimes causes hysteria on dance floor. plz advise.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 20 October 2005 16:37 (twenty years ago)

And how about a long-shot ID on this one: he played it two nights in a row, straight-up driving techno; the only thing that made it remarkable was the guitar line: echoey and feedback-filled, rise-and-fall, mybloodyvalentine-ish, dominating the song. Nothing else he played sounded like it. No vocals. anybody?

― jergins (jergins), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:40 (twenty years ago)

yess any sort of setlist whatsoever would be very very much appreciated (for Superpitcher especially). so much fun: otm

― lemin (lemin), Thursday, 20 October 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)
