Not enough beats.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:34 (twenty-one years ago)

wait for the remix

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but it's MY album, punk. And I'll be damned if I sound like a Chris Martin Unplugged album.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

what ever happened to that kylie cover?

― m. (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

not enough:

Hurrah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I like the implication of a Ned Raggett "solo album" that he's currently occupied with a band.

Well, there ARE the spoken word efforts...but those are fairly minimal.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

So what's the deal with MoM?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

they're touring and junior boys (yay!) and ratatat (boo!) are opening

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

mitch - Kylie was very excited by their cover.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

ooooh

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:30 (twenty-one years ago)

not sure her enthusiasm would be shared by EMI, they didn't care what paul mccartney thought when he spoke up for dangermouse.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:40 (twenty-one years ago)

an interview i haven't read but which has a nice picture of the boys

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:44 (twenty-one years ago)

also recently - Omar wrote an interesting piece

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:51 (twenty-one years ago)

That first interview is pretty bad.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 12:32 (twenty-one years ago)

According to the Domino website, their version of Last Exit will have a second disc. Having tantalized me with this tidbit, Domino then fail to publish the tracklisting of the second disc (they are consistent; they've not listed what's on the Ulrich Schnauss bonus disc, either). Does anyone have info about the tracklisting of the second disc?

― paul c (paul c), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Jesus, you guys sure are enthusiastic bout these fellas.
Could anyone drop me a track in my inbox? I'm curious.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 19:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, MoM = Mouse on Mars = I R an idiot (but even more excited about this show).

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

"Teach Me How to Fight" is really amazing. It's the most New Order-y and the chorus synth line sounds a bit like "Elegia".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Great interview, http://www.usounds.com/mt/archives/000309.html

― Frenchie, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost:
...and of course the chorus-ed bass toward the end.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:29 (twenty-one years ago)

er, sorry, in THIS emailbox. if you could please.
Thanks ever so.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 August 2004 01:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm very happy this tour is coming to my humble town.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 26 August 2004 01:29 (twenty-one years ago)

"Elegia"

I love that song..

― hector (hector), Thursday, 26 August 2004 02:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I like these guys. One or both of them went to my University, but I think it was years after me. A couple of Hamilton boys making good, it's nice to see.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Thursday, 26 August 2004 05:56 (twenty-one years ago)

forksclovetofu - there are still hi-quality audio streams on the site if you need to hear some.

― nick.K (nick.K), Thursday, 26 August 2004 06:05 (twenty-one years ago)

v. good j-boyz q&a:

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:23 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

sorry zem, but this is really really good.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 11 September 2004 18:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Congrats Junior Boys - "Birthday" is on Sander Kleinenberg's new Renaissance mix This Is Everybody Too - which should introduce the band to a whole new fanbase of prog house heads! (too be fair, Sander always seems to have been surprisingly open-minded and wide-ranging)

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 24 September 2004 12:53 (twenty-one years ago)

The US release of the album apparently has a bonus disc with all the bsides from the singles on it.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 24 September 2004 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Those bastards.

I still don't know if I'm going to see them tonight.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 24 September 2004 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

they were in town on Wednesday and i couldn't get anyone to go with me :(

― Dave M. (rotten03), Friday, 24 September 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

You are wise and good.

this is the line i always use when making fun of NR but until now i wasn't aware he had actually used it!

in any event, the JB are amazing

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

"I'm gonna wash my hands real slow"

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:41 (twenty-one years ago)

hell, I'M even a fan now. Beats Sade.

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Am: do you want to go see them with me? They're playing Oct. 29 at Logan Sq. Auditorium with Mouse on Mars.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I find that this is the perfect soundtrack to going home kinda tipsy on a night bus/tram.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

that's the night after i take the gre's. we'll see how i'm feeling.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

OK!

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

what will i think of mouse on mars? i always confuse them with modest mouse

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

did I tell you that Kyl1e is a now major JBz fan.. she fell for their 'slow' cover, but I'm not sure EMI would feel the same way.

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't know what modest mouse sound like either

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Mouse on Mars is generally categorized as IDM, although they've had a pretty varied career, from early ambient techno to glitchy drum-n-bass to pretty acoustic stuff. I've heard the new record once and wasn't that fond of it -- it's too spastic (although I like the single, "Wipe That Sound") -- but I just saw them do a short set at the Hideout Block Party and they totally brought all sorts of fantastic energy.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Whereas Modest Mouse is a generic US alterna-rock band.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:04 (twenty-one years ago)

The Moon and Antarctica is actually a pretty good album -- like taking the interesting guitar lines and fractured songs structures of their early material (but without as much shouty) and the developed melodic sensibility of their later material (but without the boring).

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:11 (twenty-one years ago)

re: MOM. Here's a photo of andi from Mouse on Mars, scrutinizing the vinyl and hearing the junior boys for the first time. Did I already mention just what wonderful people MoM are..

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 3 October 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i'm very excited about when this tour comes to mtl

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 4 October 2004 00:07 (twenty-one years ago)

this is the line i always use when making fun of NR but until now i wasn't aware he had actually used it!

And now that means you were merely following in my path, like a fine cultist. Thanks!
