ps: so glad the UNKLE mix has been rediscovered a bit, always wished people heard that for the great mix it is (and about 95% original music), it was a bit strange to spin out so it got buried when released. that box set is hilarious. they have like 65 remixes on there, no joke, and they EDITED ours?

"I'm up in ur remix
editing ur running timez"

Probably his slightly harder stuff like "Jimis (2006 Edit)" or the second half of his remix of Tosca's "Superrob".

b-b-b-ut .. the box is pink, really really pink.
surely that makes the pain easier to accept.

and yes - the full version (on the previously available cd single .. and the extra disc on the Never Never Land reissue 2cd set - ahem) is total quality

s'been a bit quiet in DFA land of late, i assume because LCD are touring. wonder when all this new stuff like 'still going theme' (!!!!!!), 'hold on' by holy ghost and that hercules & love affair track is coming out.

also: they're reissuing the first pylon record.

Yeah, and when's the Mock & Toof coming out?

Shocking Pinks 12" was released today with a Glimmers mix on the b-side.

are mock and toof on DFA? well i never.

They're on the Death From Abroad imprint...

At least, there's an ad in this week's NME advertising the Shocking Pinks single being released today. I can't find any mention of it on any online store, so who knows.

"Yellow Idjut Hoe Down Mix" is the future.

i kind of hate it.

I'm sure something like it has been done before, and I'm totally corning myself out here, but it's one of those things and hear and, y'know, SEE THE POSSIBILITIES. Filter country as hip style of 2008, etc.

i don't understand. is this a new band or something?

its a new sub-label signing European acts, if i'm correct. Three 12"s to be released in the next month or two.

I really like the other side of that Altz release, "Max Motion." Been wondering where to find it since hearing it on the Optimo Essentials mix from last year.

i started listening to the new Prinzhorn Dance School. only on like song 3. it's kinda weird. not what i'd expect from DFA. really minimal. lead by bass with drum accents (no real drum beats yet). maybe a bit Fall-ish? i'll listen to the whole thing before i make a full judgment.

That band made more sense to me when someone pointed out that they're named after Hans Prinzhorn, a German psychiatrist whose life's work was collecting and studying artwork made by the mentally ill.
Anyway, yeah, ultra-minimal Fall is definitely the reference point, it would seem.

I finally did get that Shocking Pinks 12" - it's pretty nice.

i like the glimmers remix.

the use of Prinzhorn in that same Optimo mix is pretty great, too.

Prinzhorn = very Fall, very good bet for America's many fans of getting yelled at by British people

Or, to translate that post into Prinzhorn speak:

very Fall!
very very Fall!
good bet!
for Americans and all!

shouted at by Brits!
shouted at by Brits!
shouted at by Brits!
hey! if the boot fits!

America's many fans of getting yelled at by British people

A+

I really like the Shocking Pinks new single too - it's got more than a hint of New Order but if all the lyrics were indecipherable and a little pouting indie.

The Arkityp remix is pretty great too.

This shocking pinks stuff is kinda reminding me of... the field mice? It's pretty good, but nothing's really grabbing me either. But it's at least a bit unusual for the DFA.

b. acarpenter (joakim remix)

the altz 12" was out only in japan last year with the same tracklist.

I am really liking all this Death From Abroad stuff. Thanks for that link.

loving the shocking pinks album

the prinzhorn stuff is trying to be the prats, not the fall.

Gucci Soundsystem and Bot'Ox tracks up on the new myspace now.

i take that back, this bot'ox track gets good towards the middle.

I really like the new Juan Maclean track Happy House (played on last week's Beats In Space). It's the one that goes "Excellent" a lot. Who is on vocals?

not really sure about the shocking pinks stuff - touches of new order are nice enough, but the vocals drag, and after starting out reasonably pretty, the songs don't really seem to go anywhere. the glimmers remix sounded quite nice though.

we talked about 'still going theme' yet? piano-house revivalism too self-conscious by half? i could see it working well in a set, i suppose, but as an exemplary example of retro-futurist perfection it's a little shaky, no? i think osborne's "outta sight" pulls off the same trick with twice the smooveness and none of the winking knowingness.

I like that Hercules and Love Affair track

alba: it sounds like nancy whang (who has done a bunch of female vox on the LCD and juan material in the past). it's a great track!

Ah right - I guess I'm used to her shouting more.

no disrespect but osborne's "outta sight" ain't got nothin on either side of the still going 12". heard the both the theme and on and on at horse meat the other night and the crowd went mad at each take... i'll take winking knowingness over a so called smooveness any day!

Still Going Theme and On & On are both great but I don't understand why they'd release it in September - it's such a summer tune.

Ha ha - I was just listening to the latest beatsinspace and just before Tim S played Happy House again there was another tune that sounded great and I thought "I'll look up what that was in the tracklisting later". Then I looked at this thread, got interested in talk of Still Going, so Googled them and their MySpace page had a news item about how Still Going Theme was played on beatsinspace. Turned out it was the very track I was listening to.
