Yeah, I'm suprised that it isn't huge.

Dan's labels have never really gone for the promotional sledgehammer, have they? There's no good reason whatsoever why it doesn't have a UK release.

the cut copy record has been criminally slept on i think. in australia it's got a bit of press, and it was released

very, very little from what I can see.

cut copy shit all over phoenix.

I find this statement really funny because it's hard to imagine such an extreme TS opinion between these two rather similarly pleasantly poppy groups!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

other than 'too young' i've only heard the second phoenix album, which i found dreary as all get-out

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 21:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I think its probably a little too 'European sounding' to ever really take off in Australia, actually.

Does anyone know if Kitsune might pick the album up? I know they put out Future as a single from the Midnight comp.

― Mil (Mil), Wednesday, 24 November 2004 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

i dont know if kitsune really put out artist albums do they?

i've heard though that things may be tentatively starting to roll in the UK now..... would love to think so.

esoj, check out "If I Ever Feel Better" from United (also try "Funky Squaredance" which is wacky/not dreary at all), and see if you can track down "Heatwave".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 25 November 2004 00:49 (twenty-one years ago)

"(x-post:) I dunno, in a brave stand against rockism, I've only listened to the album a couple of times."

I love this.

Last week I recorded the Future and Saturdays 12"s to laptop so I can listen to them at work! THE WAR CONTINUES.

It's officially #3 on my P&J Ballot now. This is just a damn magnificent album, like an extended meditation on the Aerodynamic/Digital Love segue in Discovery. Exceptions: "The Twilight", which is what I imagine "Daft Punk is Playing at [James Murphy's] House" should've sounded like, and "Bright Neon Payphone" which oddly reminds me of the best imaginable Dinosaur Jr.

two weeks pass...

Kit, could you gmail the 12s?

― C0L1N B, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Btw, if you ever get a chance to see them live; DO IT.

― C0L1N B, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:20 (twenty-one years ago)

looks like this thread has been restored from a backup and lost the intervening weeks' conversations where I noted that I'm on a 46.6.connection and still have the files as .wavs not .mp3s but am making a CD compilation and am up for trading blah blah

particularly annoying as I listed everything I already have

might go and see them in a pub on NYE

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, okay. Thanks anyway.

They're playing at the Hopetoun with the Presets on NYE, right?

― C0L1N B, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

That's the one.

― kit brash (kit brash), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

still hasn't been released in NZ. their "dutch boys" rmx of love of diagrams "no way out" is pretty good.

― etc, Wednesday, 22 December 2004 03:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I went on a mad spree this afternoon with my Christmas bonus money and picked up an import copy of 'Bright Like Neon Love' purely because of what I'd read on this thread - which I only read because I liked the name - and it sounds fucking outstanding.

Thanks everybody.

I'm sure that if can just stroll into a record store in London and pick up a copy off the shelf, then somebody - Beggars Banquet maybe? - must have signed it up and are preparing to push it with a 'proper' release sometime in the new year?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Friday, 24 December 2004 01:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i bought myself bright like neon love for christmas a couple of weeks ago too, i've been giving it a thrashing, especially at my clothes shop job, i'm convinced it's making my customers spend up. i think i'll have to ration myself now though or i might get sick of it. it is a great album i think, i love the gradual change of pace from start to finish.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 24 December 2004 03:38 (twenty-one years ago)

also good in this vein if not quite as fantastic is the two EPs by the Presets, who are Cut Copy labelmates. i lurve 'girl and the sea'..

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Friday, 24 December 2004 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

The Presets were really bad when I saw them live, but I'm willing to believe the record is better. Especiallu if they're on Modular.

― C0L1N B3CK3TTT, Friday, 24 December 2004 04:38 (twenty-one years ago)

first Presets EP was pretty disappointing except the last track which is like the gothtacular dancefloor killer my teens wish they'd gone out on

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 24 December 2004 07:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I now have mp3s of all the remixes if anyone else wants them...

― C0l1n B--KETT, Thursday, 6 January 2005 06:19 (twenty-one years ago)

have you got Hunder Twasser or the remixes they've done of other people question mark question mark exclamation mark

― kit brash (kit brash), Thursday, 6 January 2005 11:00 (twenty-one years ago)

[email protected] (Remixes *by* Cut Copy only please, "no" to 'The Light Brigade', which I have). Thanks.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad this got resurrected tho', because I listened to the album again last night, and I'm still in love with its magic.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Thursday, 6 January 2005 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I just have the 12" remixes, sorry to confuse.

― C0l1n B--KETT, Thursday, 6 January 2005 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

(i.e. the Zongiman, !!! and Chromeo mixes of "Future" and the Kingroc "Saturdays" mix)

― C0l1n B--KETT, Thursday, 6 January 2005 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

If the Kingroc mix is any good, send it over! I'm debating whether to delete all the Future mixes off my iTunes, tho'.

― Captain GRRRios' Giggletits (Barima), Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:15 (twenty-one years ago)

cut copy's getting an official UK release on Modular UK early this year......hopefully bust on through to a whole new bunch of people

― glenny g2003 (glenny g2003), Thursday, 6 January 2005 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Swank, I can vote for it on my '05 P&J instead

― What's this place, Biblevania? (natepatrin), Friday, 7 January 2005 02:05 (twenty-one years ago)

one month passes...

Live at Cargo next Tuesday with Wolfmother! Dan and the boys RIGHT! HERE! IN LONDON! WHO'S WITH ME?

― BARMS, Friday, 4 March 2005 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm against you.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 March 2005 11:43 (twenty-one years ago)

i can do this i think

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Friday, 4 March 2005 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Rev up the Mystery Machine, Scoob.

― BARMS, Friday, 4 March 2005 11:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Bollocks, I'll be working.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Friday, 4 March 2005 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve, please do come. It's well cheap and you can meet my new "acquaintance". 7-12, first band onstage at 8.30. Apparently, they are good live.

'Saturdays' is out March 14 in the UK, and I'll make a far bigger effort to chart that than Annie.

― BARMS, Saturday, 5 March 2005 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Their also playing a few shows in the USA this month!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 5 March 2005 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

is he touring with a band or what?

― cutty (mcutt), Saturday, 5 March 2005 23:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Cut Copy = four-piece band these days

― kit brash (kit brash), Sunday, 6 March 2005 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve, see above: first band onstage at 8.30. The fucking football, man? Anyway, I thought you spoke to Cargo yesterday, Wolfmother are the headliners, so I guess Dan and co. are on first? Just meet us at the tube and we'll find a bar to watch it in for a bit.

― BARMS, Tuesday, 8 March 2005 10:39 (twenty-one years ago)

actually = three piece band these days

http://homepage.mac.com/mcutt/cutcopy.html

― cutty (mcutt), Sunday, 13 March 2005 07:28 (twenty-one years ago)

So, cut copy then.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:13 (twenty-one years ago)

A sexier, skinny, indie-looking boy than you'll ever be.

― BARMS, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 14:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I am too old to be an indie boy these days, sexy or otherwise. He can have my crown, and if he's skinnier than I am, the contents of my fridge too.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:25 (twenty-one years ago)

THIS HEART IS BREAKING

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Really, it's OK.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

how well stocked IS your fridge tho?

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, right now I have some humous, some salad, some Jackhammer (or whatever it's called) Scandinavian pretend Swiss cheese, milk, half a packet of fresh tortellini, some fancy pesto and various condiments. Not a great haul, I admit, but he can have my flatmate's stuff too - she's got loads of fancy shit.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I forgot the asparagus tips.

Yeah, has its moments but nothing special. Even so, the group is really good live. Also noticed they're offering discounts for people who buy tickets as a group of four.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 4 November 2025 23:45 (seven months ago)

Didn't they also release a greatest hits album recently? I think they would be a blast live but haven't seen them.

― Bee OK, Wednesday, 5 November 2025 01:58 (seven months ago)

they are a sold live act for sure

― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 5 November 2025 01:59 (seven months ago)

i saw them live like a decade ago and they were decent but the bass was way too loud

current tour they're playing most of in ghost colours so it probably would have been better

― ufo, Wednesday, 5 November 2025 03:34 (seven months ago)

Playing a non-seated venue here. Unless there are four of you and you pay $5 extra each for a table.
