hoping for ‘jenny ondioline’, anything else is gravyThat pretty much is their "Stairway to Heaven"/"Freebird" so you won't have to worry.

They didn't play this when I saw them and kept screaming for "Jenny"!

Um, as a song I'd love to hear. Not as an expected stand out or anything

I just remembered this song that samples "Crest."

I may have an extra ticket. Check back in september I guess. My wife really doesn't like Stereolab. It's a problem.

I saw them there 20 years ago, they closed with the last track on Cobra, lights were low and the disco ball was spinning, amazing experience

probably as good a time as ever to post this again, not sure if I ever shared it before. Just after finishing the sessions for ETK, John McEntire returned to Oberlin and gave this tape to the guys who ran the record store there, who'd been an influence on him. I worked at the store at the time and they gave me a copy. At the time ETK was just "Idful Sessions" and all the songs were listed under working titles based on some of the primary influences at work.

Nice! I'll have to share that.

the most obvious one is Tomorrow is Already Here is Steve Reich Pop. It's essentially Four Organs.
― dan selzer, Friday, 24 May 2019 17:56 (five years ago) link
With every other marimbafied Reich piece kicking in 3/4 of the way through.
― dan selzer, Friday, 24 May 2019 17:57 (five years ago) link
the title track is the Ono

I get what they mean, but "Tony Conrad Bass" makes me LOL. Like it's a tribute to all the tasty bass licks on those funky Tony Conrad albums.

Go for it.

JMc's engineering contributions to the finished product were: Les Yper-Sound, Tomorrow Is Already Here (he also played vibes & guitar), Monster Sacre & Anonymous Collective.

All this chatter inspired me to do a big update on my Stereolab Origins playlist. Lots of stuff has been added to spotify since I last updated, so I was able to add about 2 dozen more tracks.

hm I actually meant to post that pic to the other Stereolab thread. I just did a quick search.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 25 May 2019 00:30 (five years ago) link
I thought "Metronomic Underground" was the Ono tribute - the bass line, drums and tambourine remind me of "Mindtrain" on "Fly".
― ernestp, Saturday, 25 May 2019 16:10 (five years ago) link
My vote is "Melancholy Chords" = "Monstre Sacre"Good call on "Faust Rhythm Pop" = "Motoroller Scalatron" upthread. I hadn't noticed before, but now I think they were adapting the rhythm on Faust's "So Far" - both songs are in 7/4 time.
― ernestp, Saturday, 25 May 2019 16:23 (five years ago) link
Oh wait, just saw the exhaustive Ono discussion on the other Stereolab thread, sorry for the duplication. And I agree with "ETK" = Ono's "Why"! Hadn't noticed that before, also.

Looks pretty nice.

"John Cage Bubblegum" is a deep cut?
Hoping they stuff have the Cliff tees when they come here, definitely something I'd pick up.

Pleased to see some of my favorite Sound Dust tracks on there, particularly 'Double Rocker.' I wonder who sings Mary's bits. There's one little Mary vocal on that track that slays me every time...

I like the ring tee, but they'll probably only have small and XXL sizes by the time the 'lab train rolls into Austin

i feel like stereolab is like MBV where their song titles have such a same and particular aesthetic that even as a fan i cant always keep the tunes straight
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 29 May 2019 17:36 (five years ago) link
I can't get over how amazing that setlist is

Planning on stocking up on Tees, if I can. My remaining Stereolab shirts are barely holding together.
