just got jockey slut, since my christmas present from brother of a sub to them finally arrived.

it has "i need your love" by the rapture on the free cd and this dancer is very impressed, the chorus sounds like my doorbell though which will cause problems later when I have my friends in for a few drinks.

I like that Rapture song more than HoJL

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Or should I say Ratpure

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, that tune is VERY good. I love the dub Voltaire too...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 April 2003 15:57 (twenty-three years ago)

(andy: email me ASAP. i'm heading to the post office soon and i lost yr addy...)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree, and I loved HotJL.

Just in case I'm not the only not-in-the-know person:

Colette

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:17 (twenty-three years ago)

this colette mix is killing me now as well...

is this available on vinyl worldwide?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:10 (twenty-three years ago)

don't tell anybody but the rapture track is my least favorite...

:-(

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:36 (twenty-three years ago)

the plink plong mix/intro into "baby it's you"....

sigh.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 16 April 2003 22:43 (twenty-three years ago)

tonight i got the new rapture! hurrah!

(i haven't listened to it yet)

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:07 (twenty-three years ago)

the new album? ooh

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:21 (twenty-three years ago)

it's a six-track sampler, actually.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 02:25 (twenty-three years ago)

only heard "I Need Your Love" from the new Rapture so far, but it's fantabulous -- microhouse meets new wave. If the Kompakt comps continued to embrace pop along their current rate, this could be the opening track on Total 6.

― scott pl. (scott pl.), Thursday, 17 April 2003 03:15 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah I Need Your Love is fucking super, I reckon it's going to be interesting seeing the different responses on either side of the Atlantic, to me it's peculiar because it starts off pretty housey and then the usual rent-a-diva is replaced by this hysterical lunatic.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronan = 100% OTM. I was thinking the EXACT same thing this morning about "I Need Your Love." So the sampler has "I Need Your Love," "Olio," "House of Jealous Lovers" and three new tracks. And after three listens, I think those three new tracks are the best cuts on here. "Sister Savior" is funky disco-electro -- very laidback, smooth and the vocals are amazing. Unhurried, sassy and great. It's got those same keyboards as "I Need Your Love" along with the "HoJL" clangy guitars. "Killing" is maybe best described as punk-house. A heavy beat and a cutting guitar over a bass line that should be booming from a tricked-out Honda's trunk while two vocal lines weave in and out, intersect and mutate above it. Stunning stuff. The last song, "Heaven," is my favorite. It starts off with an acapella two-part harmony of "1,2,3,4,5,6,7/I'm floating in a constant heaven," and then kicks into a really, really funky, broken Gang of Four gait. Several times all the music drops out, returning to that opening refrain. It's like Queen meets Gang of Four!!! It's killing me. A good remix of this (it's the least dancey of the cuts) could be the song of the year.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 13:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Collette is a lifestyle store in France. their CDs are notoriously limited, but they sell them at the shop. it's not a promo. I think other music had [have?] some of the new ones [2 many DJs, DFA]. My company [forced exposure] is looking to import some but Collette, for good reason, is reluctant to give up their 'buy it from us' exclusivity.

did you check the Ceramic Hulk on Collette? thing is massive!

― david day (winslow), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Colette is spelled with one "l" heh.

― david day (winslow), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:11 (twenty-three years ago)

come to think of it, I think the only place I've seen the Colette cds is at Colette itself...that would be great if fe got some in stock.

― disco stu (disco stu), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:21 (twenty-three years ago)

Other Music in NYC carries the Colette discs. $36 a pop.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 17 April 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Life must be awesome.

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 17 April 2003 17:46 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

Life was meant to be awesome.

Hey Yancey, is that the complete tracklisting?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 May 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

one month passes...

I got another DFA package last night -- another copy of the Black Dice 12", and a split Rapture-Juan Maclean 12". The Rapture track is "Killing," which is on Echoes, but the Juan Maclean song, called "Give Me Every Little Thing," is fantastic -- very New Ordery with really good, half-chanted sinister vocals. I'm digging this song A LOT.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:35 (twenty-two years ago)

YANC3Y HAVE YOU EVER HEARD "COKE AND MIRRORS" BY SIX FINGER SATELLITE

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

YES I HAVE GYGAX! WHY DO U ASK?

I have four or five SFS records, though I rarely listen to them anymore.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

THE CHINESE STARS R GOOD

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Send me your spare copy of the remix 12", plz.

― Ian Johnson (elmo oxygen), Friday, 11 July 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I was really into By The Time I Get To Venus by the Juan Maclean, alot more than the first big song whose name escapes me.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

So Black Dice:

Catsup Plate 12" (repackaged Tigerbeat6 3")
Eye Remix 12"
Cone Toaster 12" (With Eye)
New LP (with Eye?)

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:28 (twenty-two years ago)

YANC3Y BTW IT'S 6FS NOT SFS

JON WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND THEY ARE ON TOUR WITH THE LOCUST SOON

IAN NO WAY YANC3Y ME FIRST PLEASE

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

GYGAX! I ALREADY GAVE YOU A COPY I THOUGHT?

SORRY FOR THE MISACRONYMING GYGAX! I WILL NOW BEAT MYSELF SILLY (BMS)!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I also wish the Rapture would start flinging around tracks for remixes.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

When I first heard "I Need Your Love" I thought it was a remix. Rapture songs are remixes to START WITH considering how the DFA works... But yeah, I know what you mean, Ronan.

The beat and bassline from the new Juan Maclean song are very fucking close to ODB's "Got Your Money."

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

So the new annoying comparison: the Liars produced by the Neptunes.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:37 (twenty-two years ago)

the new black dice lp is produced by the dfa, no eye involved as far as i know.
"give me..." rules!!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, and so far there are finished rapture remixes by maurice fulton and the ends.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

the cindy adams of ny rock, everyone! kisses to lauren, as always.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

LCD's "Tribulations" is great! Proper weedy indie-dance, num num!

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

The Ends as in R U Really From The Ends?

― sean g, Friday, 11 July 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

The Chinese Stars probably have some mp3s on

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:45 (twenty-two years ago)

yes, those ends.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

and speaking of dfa things, is anyone going to be at the lcd show at fabric tonight? i'll be there - look for the drunk american girl. no one else in london fits that description, right?

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

"drunk smartass american girl"

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

yanc3y,

you sent me a rip (and indexed, weee!) copy of the dfa colette No5 mix and a negroclash mix (which you identified with BALL POINT FUCKING PEN = skippy disc). yes, i am still in debt to you. how about huff for sweeney?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck! sorry about the negroclash mix. i will send you another, with other goodies *cough*cough*

AUBREY HUFF STAYS PUT!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

that's ms. drunk smartass american girl to you, gygax. i'd be a bit more polite to the holder of a copy of "twinkle echo" if i were you.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yanc3y, fyi: i like maui wowie or kona gold.

ms. lauren, you have my full undivided attention.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Is Echoes pretty easy to come across on Soulseek? I'd like to hear it, but getting Soulseek to work on a Mac looks like a pain (and thus prefer not to waste time)?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still waiting to see if I'll get this one. Tom's spot-on about the LCD track, in my opinion. I'm liking LCD stuff about a thousand times better than the Rapture.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I just can't believe how long the Rapture/their label(s) have taken to put out an album. Seems like they really missed the boat on that dance/funk/disco-punk thing, as well as the "House of Jealous Lovers" hype.
