Kelley Polar - Love Songs of The Hanging Gardens (Environ CD05)

WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE 21 AND OVER

NOT FAIR

my criticism seems unfair above. what i really want is a Kelley Polar Quartet LP with full on instrumental house/disco/italo jams.

Oh my God, that is hands down, the greatest flyer of all time.

@ WRONGBAR 1279 Queen W (Toronto Canada)

$10 before 12/ Adults Only

ps i think there's a free kp download at itunes this week (for those of you not going off promo/ leakage)

those dudes should come to montreal after.

guess it's too late for that.

ooh i have tix to the studio b . or my bf got them and i told him i would probably go. i guess i will!?

sadly, no live kelley polar

or me, sadly.

yes, very sadly! you played mtl not too long ago right? unfortunately i only just recently made dave's online aquaintance, otherwise we could've orchestrated some mtl/ to co-promotion action.

Mtl was fun, if cold. Dave hooked me up with the most awesomest record spot I've seen in a long time, Nice.

death o vinyl!

i still regret not going to that night at zoobiz. i had some excuse.

Remixes coming soon, according to the Environ mailout:

Kelley Polar "Entropy Reigns" (Ewan Pearson & Al Usher Remixes)
Kelley Polar "We Live in an Expanding Universe" (Caribou Remix)

Pearson!

refix plzz

The Pearson remix can't fail to be spectacular.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(i don't see how it can be impoved though, if they do they deserve another imaginary medal. i'm excited for this.

Bedouin Soundclash a big influence according to EYOE site.
has anyone been to the indig02 venue yet? whats it like? is it early doors or will i have to spunk out all my cash on cabs?

I was at the Toronto event. I really wanted to go up to Morgan and personally tell him how amazing that bar-mitzvah flyer is.

hah. so ridiculous. hope it's gonna be on all the pop radio stations.

is there going to be an environ briss?

that's awesome. i like that you guys don't scrimp on the promos.

is there going to be an environ briss?
pfffft, that's after 8 days.

I don't know if I've ever publicly admitted my desire to DJ a Bar Mitzvah party (as a real set, not as one of those hand out prizes and play 50 Cent cd's type DJ's), which is why after a month that remains the funniest thing ever (although in all fairness, this is the same desire to DJ at: baseball games, in class, on some sort of omnipresent set up which is audible everywhere in the world, and at bars/clubs).

Should be a fine party I'd say.

Environ Bar Mitzvah reminder...Studio B tonight...I'm going on first so get there at 10 sharp, or wait if you're trying to avoid me. You may also want to show up early because we've got some serious jewish knishes with mustard and they're not going to last. Oy vey. Details, including Tedwards amazing radio promo, at my blog:

I was there and KP was kickass! Surmounter, did/do you wear glasses? I think I saw you, and I know I saw Dan and JW . . .

Being at a club drunk with a 3 year old glasses RX is very stumbly. Drew was nice and v v pretty.

thanks to all that came. I know I saw Sanskrit walk by about 5 times but I never was quick enough to say hello. It was a fun night and by all measures, a success. The most popular aspect of the evening had to be the knishes I brought. We went through over 200, and 1 and 1/2 bottles of mustard.

Damn my friends for deciding not to go last minute and me for being too lazy to get my ass down there from the Bronx alone.

what exactly does kp do live? i talked to him briefly last year and i think he mentioned doing an all strings show. what was it like?

He had two keyb players, Claire De Lune on vox for a couple of numbers, drummer, bass player. He sang, used a sampler (Kaos pad?), played viola (sounded like a viola). I thought they put on a good set. Too bad about crappy Studio B mix all over the place. The DJ sets were really great as were the knishes. Most fun I've had at Studio B. I also got a Star Of David maraca thingy (what's this called, Dan?)

I know there are shakers for Purim with another name, but those were basically maracas.

My favorite detail were the blow up keyboards morgan threw into the audience in prime Bar Mitzvah fashion.

Kelly Polar's first shows a year or two ago had a full string section but this was a smaller band. While the mix was a bit weird, it was loud and they benefited from Studio B's club sound system as opposed to the Knitting Factory, which was more of an indie crowd more inclined to stand and watch then dance.

btw, Kelly Polar closed with a secret cover of Metro Area's Caught Up.

That was great! Dear lord I wish there was a recording floating around with that...

PS. I loved the death metal bass player with the hood!

Stream the record and have Kelley walk you thru the album: http://www.paperthinwalls.com/listeningparty/index?id=59

/plug

yea i was wearing glasses! dancing like a fool the whole time =P

i went up to some DJ and asked if he was dan and he was like NO :-) oops

fun night!! really fun. completely HOT outfit on kelley

hahahah i had a friend make knishes for a party once! wishg i coulda been there.

it was crazy packed. great turnout. dude from junior boys played boz scaggs in his dj set <3 <3

and yeah the metro area cover song was pretty cool

Jeremy played Boz as his closer, even though I specifically told him I brought Careless Whisper on CD and he should play that instead.

I didn't even see you there Dave!

It was nicely crowded, I've seen it more crowded, times when it's impossible and uncomfortable. This was definitely crowded but I didn't want to stab anybody, which is a good thing because I was walking back and forth from the DJ booth to the knish table with a serrated knife.
