I want that Linstrom & Prins Thomas remix of Locussolus SO MUCH

anyone see him in SF last weekend? & how was it?

never leaves my record crate

argh you have that. I passed it up when it came out and have never been able to find it.

i obsessed over finding it back in 06 after hearing it on that rub n tug mix

i called every record store in chicago asking if they had the original cause i didn't know about the cole medina edit. then found it the next day while looking for something else.

I know I saw it at least once at Turntablelab but didn't know what it sounded like until later. It's pretty nondescript looking.

Just listening to this DJ Harvey interview - http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast-episode.aspx?exchange=41

Around 30 mins in. Him on homophobia and sexuality, just hilarious.

He was just on Beats in Space this week, too, talkin about playing in Japan and why he doesn't play in London -

I always wondered why he never plays London. Gonna listen and find out. I see it as a personal slur.

It is!

lol at 'we're all dj's here'

Im pretty sure he played at disco bloodbath back when it was still at visions. But he is spot on, a fun party is so rare here to the point that I only really enjoy myself at cafe bloody oto on my own

Didn't get to see him when visions was still a thing. I know he spent a lot of time in the states in order to deal with visa/residency stuff.

a fun party is so rare

so true, there's been nothing for ages that's excited me in these parts.

i went to a few disco bloodbath parties at visions but i never heard abt him playing...

"They know everything I'm involved in over there, you go into a shop in Japan and there's this box, 'RECORDS DJ HARVEY PLAYED LAST WEEK' and another box 'RECORDS DJ HARVEY WILL PLAY NEXT WEEK.'"

i loled so hard at that in front of strangers at the gym

haha. I almost loled at work listening to it just now.

"Well I'd better pick some of these up then!"

pirate radio mix from 1989 -

so awesome, thanks for posting

I saw him play after Aeroplane at one of the Rhonda parties last year - it wasn't that great but I would imagine his stuff would go down about 100000000000x better in a smaller setting

i was at that party! so was ilx poster san frandisco.

i snuck backstage and surprised him right before he went on.

sound system at that venue is one of the best i've ever heard, but yeah he's more fun in a more intimate setting

i know ppl are sorta lukewarm on the locussolus album but i for one am willing to rep for it, i think the only seriously bad tracks are that andrew weatherall remix and "throwdown". that 20 min emperor machine remix is really pretty fucking great spacey/beardy disco, it might be the only thing i hadn't heard before but it was well worth the price of admission imo

so is the Soul Clap remix still unreleased aside from showing up on the DJ KiCKS mix?

it's out

whoops wrong soul clap + harvey thing! soz

thanks though, i didnt know about that!

xposts

the main thing I remember from that Rhonda show (other than the place going nuts for the Swiss' "Bubble Bath") was seeing some kid running around dressed up like Hitler

well that and the venue being UNBELIEVABLE

yeah that venue was awesome. insane multi-room VIP area w/ craze shit going on too

harvey always looks like the happiest guy on earth

was record shopping today and saw this (lame camera phone pic)

http://i51.tinypic.com/2luce3b.jpg

first record in the rack was Irene Cara - What A Feelin'

man, tickets for tomorrow sold out in hours.

tomorrow where?

san diego

turns out they didn't i just found out reaaaaally late

i think.... you just gotta go anyway, and get in somehow

i could go naked except for a cowboy hat

they'd have to let me in

maybe gr8080 has a password i can use

I'd go w/ the naked/cowboy hat routine.

Harvey has an appreciation for drag queens tho maybe show up in drag
