BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

my favorite rub-n-tug story...new years of 2001, maybe 2002? 2003? 4? Pianos had just opened and Larry, who now books Santos and only lasted about a week at Pianos due to frustration had booked me and Simonetti to DJ between bands, which was probably Ghost Exits and definitely James Chance and the Contortions (not the original line-up). Then Eric and Thomas were going to go on. Porkchop and Mikey were upstairs. James played right through new years and finished around 1 something, then the room emptied out. Eric and Thomas showed up around 2 and started setting up in the empty room, moving everything around, putting the dj set-up up where the soundboard was. I asked one of them how they felt about it since it was already 2:30 in the morning of new years and the bar was totally empty. Whomever I asked (I don't remember), said "Don't worry, we emailed our list" or something. By 3am the room was totally packed, there were no lights on and they were blasting the Cowley mix of I Feel Love. Oh yeah, they started with Wake Up and Make Love to Me, which they always used to do.

Before that, I heard them DJ a few times at 58 Canal st (59?) which was like some kind of illicit karaoke bar or something and those are pretty much among the most awesome dance parties I've ever been to.

^^^^ so jealous

i'm flying to LA for the Sarcastic party next Saturday, anyone going?

kinda funny we got on this though considering:

BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

need more stuff like meanderthals' "kunst or ars"! love the guitars and relaxed feel of it. please recommend some artists or mixes. i know there's a lot of them in this genre but i'm a newbie :) can only think of studio.

the new lindstrom & prins thomas, mudd/smith & mudd/anything on claremont 56, studio (esp. remixes), coyote...

dan138zig, sounds like you need the "balearic revival" thread.

for you NYers, Thom Bullock is going to be playing a looong set out at our Ft. Greene Treehouse party on the 13th of May. hit me off-thread if you want the email info.

BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

i originally meant rub'n'tug, map of africa, harvey, etc. i was trying to exclude "space disco" stuff like lindstrom. not sure why i put idjuts in the "not" section, except that maybe they were working in more of a deep house / faze action / nu disco / manchester soul / unabombers type vibe then and i wanted to keep this thread focused on the, uh, hairier, hippier side of things.

dan138zig, sounds like you need the "balearic revival" thread.

I actually have read the thread from the very first post to last. Quite a lot of stuff I acquired based on the recommendations there. One thing I don't get is what's the difference between the music on that thread and here? It seems the same to me..

this music ROCKS, that music is SMOOTH

also, most Balearic Music is Beardo, but not all Beardo is Balearic.

dan138zig theres a tim finney thread where he tries to figure out all the records that overlap between these two threads i just cant remember what its called

The balearic beardo beach hippie album canon

all the hype about rub-n-tug is totally deserved

i only saw tug, but i agree

not sure if anyone's mentioned it, but this beautiful swimmers 12-inch has two great beardo tunes, and they even made a video for one of them...

there it izz

ya new guys out of DC, they have a couple really great releases, i have beautiful swimmers, but their previous one is tough to track down

friendo over at plaidmusic recently posted this edit by the norwegian group
Västkustska Ryggdunkarsällskapet from 2007. record sells for $$$ but i would buy for this edit, i think it pretty much sums up beardo disco balearic rock into 5 minutes of bliss

http://plaidmusic.blogspot.com/2009/05/town-out-of-order.html

liking that beautiful swimmers track. it's like beardo new beat.

oh crap i have that vastkustska 12! didn't know that it's selling for $$$ now ... mozzarella morning on the a is my fave, though perhaps falling more on the balearic/ cosmic-y side. and the tom petty edit on no2 is really nice as well (i feel like i've probably said that before around these parts)

totally dig vastkustska, also the few tracks released by tiedye. wish i could find an mp3 of their dj kaos mix, i've only heard it on myspace but it is raddd

that Tiedye mix which is ace is out on junodownload the 26th of may: http://www.junodownload.com/products/1420511-02.htm

8. Maze - Twilight (Capitol)

been wondering why this doesnt get more burn

other than it being real hard to find

haha exactly as that track came on and I came back to this thread to check the tracklisting, since I *know* that one but couldn't place it...
is it actually tough to track down?

not tough at all by the looks of the internet sales of it. just depends on if you want to pay for british shipping.

looks like it was on GTA: San Andreas

didnt tim sweeney have something to do w/ the soundtrack for that?
if i remember right they also had bangers like 'cant live without your love'

yeah he picked the soundtrack.

xpost- i posted a link to that rub n tug remix on the DFA thread, but i have since also put it on my own (very new) blog

sooo psyched to have just copped a used copy of that Västkustska Ryggdunkarsällskapet 12" for a pittance, rather than 79 quid that it goes for on Discogs.

it's nice to see beautiful swimmers getting attention - really good dudes. one of them used to be in a group called manhunter, who i think introduced a lot of dc indie/punk folks to dance music a few years back. other manhunter dude now does stuff as rhythm based lovers (among other names) and it's every bit as good - snow drift is gorgeous

ha. is that jason/steve summers? he's in sf and is ilxor 69's brobrah

haha, yes, we're all brobahs!

brobrahs, even

nice. i've met him a few times.

house of house fabric promo mix is short but a lot of fun

does anyone know the track at minute 33-ish of mike simonetti's albuterol mix?

nevermind, it's the paul simpson connection's "treat me".

anyone heard the new dr. dunks/eric duncan mix? just noticed it on juno but it's already out of stock :(

Hah, I was just about to check to see where I could pick it up in New York. I guess I can try treking down to the aNYthing store and cross my fingers.
