Could anyone who grabbed JD's gay space disco I feel space vocal version repost or email it to me pleeeeeeease?

― simon.thisisnotanexit, Monday, 13 February 2006 13:06 (twenty years ago)

Susan, what is this "Feel PM" you speak of?

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 13 February 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

yikes, didn't realize it hasn't been released. it was posted upthread...i'm backtracking. all three songs are great. L&P are indeed the shit.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 13 February 2006 17:38 (twenty years ago)

yeah, it's gorgeous. that three tracker (the "mighty girl" single which is coming out in a few weeks) encapsulates what i love about them.

― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:06 (twenty years ago)

are these Can covers then, per Willem??? i have no idea what Can sounds like.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:17 (twenty years ago)

So is this a new Eskimo single? And what's the full tracklist?

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:39 (twenty years ago)

heywood, do you have any idea when/if you're getting it in?

its titled Mighty Girl. tracks are 1. Mighty Girl 2. Vrang OG Vanskelig 3. Feel PM

I can't make heads or tails out the Eskimo website.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:46 (twenty years ago)

I downloaded mighty girl a couple of weeks ago - however, only have the title track on ipod, need to get the rest on there!

― Dominique (dleone), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:48 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, and I can't get a single Eskimo release. Even Forced Exposure can't help me out.

― matt2 (matt2), Monday, 13 February 2006 18:51 (twenty years ago)

this music speaks to whatever is wrong with my soul...

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:01 (twenty years ago)

the version i originally downloaded had those track 2 and 3 titles as being parenthetical mixes of the original track, which according to HP Lindstrom is a cover of an obscure Can jam from a 1972/3 Peel session. a friend who is a Can scholar says he's going to burn me the original so i can check it out - will report later about this (and YSI), unless you can dl it yourself off slsk/etc.

Eskimo, from what i understood, has just finalized a US distribution deal with Forced Exposure -- although the fruits aren't yet available to the public. i do NOT think this applies to vinyl though. I've still got Turkish Delight in stock on 12" here at Amoeba SF, and i've just re-ordered the L&PT full length on vinyl. haven't heard anything about CDs yet, nor have I been offered the new single from any of my distros yet. will keep yas posted.

susan - glad to have found someone who feels the same way. my gushing posts upthread (including the original post) are a result of just FEELING everything i heard from these guys. check out that country clonk remix if you haven't - it's in a homemade remix comp you can dl on Oink if you're hooked up like that...

― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:09 (twenty years ago)

in fact, it's kind of funny. when i first started the thread my apt had been robbed at the very beginning of the month, and a record bag with all my hot/new/promo shit was stolen. i think the VERY first things i replaced, and within a week or two, was the L&PT stuff in my bag. everything else almost didn't matter.

― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:10 (twenty years ago)

btw a good indicator of when stuff is coming out is picadilly records (www.picadillyrecords.co.uk) online. their shit is super up to date!

― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:12 (twenty years ago)

heywood. so far there's alot of stuff i don't feel or just mildly, but when its on, its very very on to the point i feel the way you do - beginnings of serious fandom. I don't have oink unfortunately. i would love a ysi of the Can original you speak of --when you get it. sorry to hear your apt. was robbed.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 13 February 2006 19:27 (twenty years ago)

hi susan (and everyone else). yes, it's a can cover. the other tracks on the 12" are l&pt originals, as far as i can tell. release date is feb21. yes, the can original is quite rare as the only version i know is on the peel session cd. and it's quite an anomaly in the can discography, but a very pretty one at that. (susan, do check out can, i am sure you'll love quite a lot). here's a ysi i sent to someone, it should still be active: Can - "Mighty Girl"

(btw susan, you're totally otm on the roxy music you hear. can't wait for their roxy music remix that's supposed to come out later this year...)

― willem -- (willem), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:18 (twenty years ago)

awesome, thank you! excited too!

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 13 February 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Some dude on the internet writes in a Peel Sessions review: "... "Mighty Girl," which I believe turned up on "Out Of Reach" as "November" (I don't have my LP collection handy, so please forgive my uncertainty)."

― JoB (JoB), Monday, 13 February 2006 22:53 (twenty years ago)

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but you can grab the full length on the iTunes music store. It's been up there for a while...

― Pharmaceutical Executive, Monday, 13 February 2006 23:17 (twenty years ago)

That some dude is right, JoB. Haven't got that lp myself, but found the mp3 on slsk. It's turned into a too busy late-era Can track, I'd say after one listen. The gorgeous piano is there, but not so upfront. The guitar is too fussy (not fuzzy) and loses much of its edge, compared to the Peel Sessions version. (ysi doesn't seem to work at the moment. maybe later)

― willem -- (willem), Monday, 13 February 2006 23:36 (twenty years ago)

the remix of magnet rules, especially the instrumental.

simon, here's the track your after.

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 13 February 2006 23:50 (twenty years ago)

'feel pm' might need some dirty mick jagger vocals on top of it.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 04:11 (twenty years ago)

clearly i would ruin this, but i might do a mix!

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 04:23 (twenty years ago)

Thanks for the repost Stir - appreciate that.

― simon.thisisnotanexit, Tuesday, 14 February 2006 12:21 (twenty years ago)

maybe there are more who'll like to hear "November" by Can, as mentioned upthread

― willem -- (willem), Tuesday, 14 February 2006 14:21 (twenty years ago)

okay, i can clear up the confusion a little bit...

straight from forced exposure:

L&PT album is released domestically (US) on 3/7/06

― something less threatening (heywood), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 02:19 (twenty years ago)

Major Swellings, if you're still in the house, I salute you.

I hope Feedelity continues the relationship with ClickGroove (or Beatport or one of the high-bitrate stores) despite going on iTunes so impoverished laptop jocks like myself can continue to support. The 128K AAC files from iTunes sound pretty rough on a sound system.

― jeffery (jeffery), Wednesday, 15 February 2006 04:56 (twenty years ago)

omg mighty girl

― jergins (jergins), Friday, 17 February 2006 08:37 (twenty years ago)

can sounds very much like fleetwood mac if the boys were allowed to take completely control. although, i know not much about all the bands of that era and prior to recognize common denominators to sound.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 17 February 2006 08:54 (twenty years ago)

i shouldn't just say the boys, but maybe everyone but 'ol Stevie.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Friday, 17 February 2006 09:07 (twenty years ago)

L&PT's remix of Brennan Green's "little ease" on Chinatown Records is fucking outstanding. out now. "mighty girl" next week, plus a remix of Alexander Robotnik on Creme...

― something less threatening (heywood), Thursday, 23 February 2006 22:20 (twenty years ago)

ooo, L&PT + Creme sounds like a good match

― Dominique (dleone), Friday, 24 February 2006 00:22 (twenty years ago)

(xpost) What's the Robotnick remix? Is it "Dark Side Of The Spoon" from the (awesome) Rare Robotnicks Vol. 2 ? Hope so, coz that's a gorgeous track I'm sure L&PT would do justice to.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Friday, 24 February 2006 05:07 (twenty years ago)

I believe it is Dark Side of the Spoon - cannae wait to hear L&PT's remix of it!

― simon.thisisnotanexit, Friday, 24 February 2006 11:00 (twenty years ago)

ALEXANDER ROBOTNICK
DARK SIDE*LINDSTROM/BANGKOK IM (CREME) 12
More advanced electro-disko pressure from Mr Robotnick aided and abetted by some fantastic remix action from current hot duo Lindstrom & Prins Thomas as well as Bangkok Impact. In its original form "Dark Side Of The Spoon" is vintage Robotnick disco with a pumping housey edge. Lindstrom & Prins Thomas' mix sports guitar riffs straight outta Black Science Orchestra's "New Jersey Deep" with a strutting disco b-line that simply KILLS. Bangkok Impact's mix is just as infectious and adventurous and features his own impressive analogue synth arsenal in action.(CR1222)

Bought this today and it sure is.

― Jay Vee (Manon_70), Friday, 24 February 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

I know this thread is all about the shock of the new, but I was listening to Prima Norsk 3 again yesterday and thinking that it really is an astonishing compilation, I probably should have put it in my top 10 last year.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 24 February 2006 21:58 (twenty years ago)

I got a sampler 12 from it, but not the whole thing, and like you kind of forgot about it but everytime I play "Truger" by Kohib, like last night, I remember how good it is.

Did any of you get "Another Station" yet?

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 24 February 2006 23:31 (twenty years ago)

i feel spaceships crashing is great. i feel very depressed now.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Saturday, 25 February 2006 05:22 (twenty years ago)

― Dominique (dleone), Saturday, 25 February 2006 05:26 (twenty years ago)

but it would be nice to go out and bypass the usual euphoria and have a whole night of these club winding down and you're left with nuthin but rubber legs and ugly lighting evoking tunes. :)

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Saturday, 25 February 2006 05:39 (twenty years ago)

"I got a sampler 12 from it, but not the whole thing, and like you kind of forgot about it but everytime I play "Truger" by Kohib, like last night, I remember how good it is."

Yes! That track is amazing, and so is Olav Brekke & Sideshow Jogge's "Gul Boss". The non-L&PT-related stuffreally holds its own.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 25 February 2006 06:10 (twenty years ago)

one of my picks from that comp is also "gul boss". it makes me laugh plus it has breakbeats and it samples hall and oates. it's a great track to play around with in the mix too...very versatile.

― breakfast pants (disco stu), Sunday, 26 February 2006 01:18 (twenty years ago)

SF folks - both "mighty girl" and the Robotnik remix are in stock at Amoeba. we got a bunch of the Robotnik, but we got shorted on Mighty Girl and only have ONE left. come n git it!!

― something less threatening (heywood), Sunday, 26 February 2006 22:29 (twenty years ago)

i probably should come get that. can't you save it for me?

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 27 February 2006 00:58 (twenty years ago)

consider it done, susan. held at the front registers under your name.

― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 27 February 2006 01:00 (twenty years ago)

thx! i was half joking. but i'll pick it up tonite!

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 27 February 2006 01:01 (twenty years ago)

amoeba - biggest lindstrom section on the planet?

― stirmonster (stirmonster), Monday, 27 February 2006 02:35 (twenty years ago)
