― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

yanc3y,

you sent me a rip (and indexed, weee!) copy of the dfa colette No5 mix and a negroclash mix (which you identified with BALL POINT FUCKING PEN = skippy disc). yes, i am still in debt to you. how about huff for sweeney?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck! sorry about the negroclash mix. i will send you another, with other goodies *cough*cough*

AUBREY HUFF STAYS PUT!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

that's ms. drunk smartass american girl to you, gygax. i'd be a bit more polite to the holder of a copy of "twinkle echo" if i were you.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yanc3y, fyi: i like maui wowie or kona gold.

ms. lauren, you have my full undivided attention.

Is Echoes pretty easy to come across on Soulseek? I'd like to hear it, but getting Soulseek to work on a Mac looks like a pain (and thus prefer not to waste time)?

I'm still waiting to see if I'll get this one. Tom's spot-on about the LCD track, in my opinion. I'm liking LCD stuff about a thousand times better than the Rapture.

― nabisco (nabisco), Friday, 11 July 2003 17:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I just can't believe how long the Rapture/their label(s) have taken to put out an album. Seems like they really missed the boat on that dance/funk/disco-punk thing, as well as the "House of Jealous Lovers" hype.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 11 July 2003 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

So there's gonna be a grime remix of the rapture?!?! HEAVY

― sean g, Saturday, 12 July 2003 18:06 (twenty-two years ago)

maurice fulton remixed the rapture?! allRIIIIIGHT now we're talking - that MU single is brainmelting

whodat?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

gygax! dude speaking of which LCD Soundsystem and Casiotone here in NYC October 9th - are you going to make it out for it?

― hstencil, Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

as of right now, probably not. things can change though.

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:32 (twenty-two years ago)

dang, man. I'm not the only NYer who would like to see you there.

― hstencil, Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

mike piazza?

― gygax! (gygax!), Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

well yeah, his season will be over, maybe he'll invite you up to his place near Irving Plaza.

― hstencil, Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, the Mets were over by May, but technically yeah this is the last week of the season.

― hstencil, Thursday, 25 September 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I got my Rapture cd (Echos) in the mail on Monday from Amazon.co.uk along with the new Luomo.

I expected to like the Luomo more, but the Rapture cd is awesome. Sorry to be a typical hipster but it actually rocks funks and stops starts in a great way. The chilled out songs are good too.

For some reason the one that sticks in my head the most other than Jelous Lovers is the 2nd track.

Awesome.

DFA Compilation #1>>>>>>>Echoes

gygax!, come east!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 25 September 2003 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyone heard the DFA's mix of Chromeo? It's cool.

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 26 September 2003 08:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Awesome! Fuck, see, this is why I still read this board.

― Dan I., Friday, 26 September 2003 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i like the chromeo remix waaaay better than chromeo plain.

ps - gygax!,don't you think i look like a blockhead in that picture?

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 26 September 2003 09:12 (twenty-two years ago)

On a related topic... is there a compilation that has both LCD Soundsystem 'Losing My Edge' and !!! 'Me And Giuliani' on it? Anyone recommend similar?

― Mog, Friday, 26 September 2003 09:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Chromeo plain just as much (if not more). Veering b/w Cameo and Richard X - k cool.

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 26 September 2003 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

On a related note of my own, I STILL can't find the Muzik mix CD.

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 26 September 2003 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, the main reason this track is so cool is just cause it's something from Chromeo that's new to me. Some of the non-popular ones are the best. Like, I think "woman friend" is probably my favorite, and "Since you were gone"!! Are they ever going to, like, release anything on their own!?

― Dan I., Friday, 26 September 2003 09:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Ugh, vocal tics creeping into your typing, c/d?

― Dan I., Friday, 26 September 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, Chromeo aren't the same thing as the Martini Bros. are they!?

― Dan I., Friday, 26 September 2003 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

haha, disregard that, I knew that couldn't be right. Damn you glitchy turbo records website!!

― DAn I., Friday, 26 September 2003 09:40 (twenty-two years ago)

January 2004!!!

― Dan I., Friday, 26 September 2003 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

lauren: no, you do not look like a blockhead in that picture! is that Andrew WK next to you?

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 26 September 2003 15:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Chromeo are quite good aren't they, thanks for the heads up

― mentalist (mentalist), Saturday, 27 September 2003 08:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Dammit! Why isn't Beat Connection included on the DFA CD compilation??

― disgruntled, Sunday, 28 September 2003 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

The DFA are preparing a number of swank remixes this November, including mix-ups of Junior Senior's "Shake Your Coconuts" for Atlantic, a DFA-ified "In A State" for U.N.K.L.E. and Island/Def Jam UK, and a rearrangement of J.O.Y.'s "Sunplus" featuring Yoshimi from the Boredoms for Ape Sounds/Bathing Ape Japan.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 22 November 2003 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

mmmkay!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Saturday, 22 November 2003 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

It says on their site they're in the studio with Liquid Liquid OMG!!!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Saturday, 22 November 2003 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

the junior senior remix sucks. the unkle one okay, the j.o.y. one amazing.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Sunday, 23 November 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

what's going on w/them remixing Party of One, do you know? (I have personal reasons for asking this)

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 23 November 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

The Unkle mix is weird, I have my doubts that Murphy had anything whatsoever to do with it. It's quite epic in an old skool mo wax kind of way and at plus 2 or 3 it works for me.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 November 2003 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i love the unkle mix - one of the best warm up records of the year imo. can't wait to hear the j.o.y. - is it out?

― stirmonster, Sunday, 23 November 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i didn't hear a party of one remix.
every DFA remix of late has stripped off everything but vocals (j.o.y. has some of the bass).
LCD's "yeah" is SO ridiculous.

― Beta (abeta), Sunday, 23 November 2003 16:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Ridiculously great?

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Sunday, 23 November 2003 17:38 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah what's the deal?

― s1utsky (slutsky), Sunday, 23 November 2003 17:39 (twenty-two years ago)

i looooove "yeah." but ridiculous is totally the right word. no wave by way of mo wax or something.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Sunday, 23 November 2003 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

the junior senior remix sucks.

noooo! i was really looking forward to hearing that one :(

― geeta (geeta), Sunday, 23 November 2003 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

It says on their site they're in the studio with Liquid Liquid OMG!!!

I think my head just exploded.

Seriously, I saw them earlier this year at the DEMF and they were 100x better live than they were on their records. I cannot wait for this at all.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Sunday, 23 November 2003 21:46 (twenty-two years ago)

they completely cut the chorus, geeta, which is the best part!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Sunday, 23 November 2003 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

okay, i want dfa productions (aside from "echoes") to convince a non-believer

― mitch lastnamewithheld (mitchlnw), Sunday, 23 November 2003 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

I was doing a bit of research and apparently I was on the DFA's collective dick before I realized it -- "Blood Money", my favorite song from Primal Scream's XTRMNTR (what with it being an instrumental), had heavy input from Goldsworthy and Murphy. So my path to neo-disco-punk sycophant fanboyism quite possibly began with Bobby fucking Gillespie.
