New from the DFA...

haha ronan. she obviously didn't know with whom she was dealing else she would've been the shy one ;)

Had I heard that Holy Ghost song on it's own I would have forgotten about it before it even got to the chorus, but now I'm singing it in shower, all because of seeing that video first.

that automato flyer on nancy's bedroom door gets me every time

wish baker would have given them a usb stick w/RAER mp3 on it

should have been Murphy delivering it to Baker in the DJ booth :(

i'm really feeling about half of the songs from the new YACHT album

the cotai mundi single mentioned above is ace.

fully. so into it

oh, i'd seen that holy ghost! video on another blog a couple weeks ago and dnr that was nancy whang and thought it was just pieced together from some Downtown 81 type thing

have enjoyed their remixes, they have an album coming?

Supposedly. And one of the tracks has lead vocals from whatsisface from the Doobie Brothers.

I'm really feeling the new Shit Robot including the remixes. Up there with "Rushing to Paradise" as contenders for the piano jam of the year.

Absolutely loving that Justin Miller DFA mix posted upthread.

If I don't find out the name of the song being played at 56:00 - 58:40 of that Justin Miller DFA mix, then I will be totally depressed forever. HELP!

Found it! It is called "Simple Things (Work It Out) (Serge Santiago Remix)" by Shit Robot and it will be released on July 14th. Awesome!

^^^ SINGLE OF THE FUCKING YEAR!!!

"happy house" of 2009

holy ghost track is prolly gonna be a year ender for me

even though it reminds me of as much stuff i'm eh about as enthused about

imo the classixx remix of the holy ghost track is better than the orig--i think it sort of achieves what (i think) hg were trying to get at

The second, yearning "I will come back!" in the chorus certainly works better in the classixx mix. Can't say either version has me bowled over, but that video generates a lot of goodwill.

nah I still think its great, its just that its really muted I guess

I have an mp3 of that remix and it just makes me want to hear the orig tbh

It pains me to say this but I kind of can't stand the James Curd single. It's just so dorky! Maybe it'll grow on me, I kind of see what it's getting at, but it leaves me totally cold.

haha i love it probably because it's so dorky

The James Curd single is the one with that awkward "rap," yes?

Maybe no quote-marks needed. It is kind of dorky. Can't decide if it's kind of charming, too.

it's totally awesome is what it is. It also a thing or two to this song...

otm!

I even threw this on a techno/house mix I recently made, just cause it has that (cheesy) charm.

I can't get past the "ground control to major tom, I see you up there, you're getting it on" line. The idea of watching astronauts have sex just doesn't mesh with me.

Just downloaded the Canyons 12"- I do like this, very much so.

Well, maybe not "Dancing on Silk," but "Fire Eyes" is great.

the world needs more rapping dorks imo, especially if they've got italo beats

i like the walter jones & still going singles a lot more than the holy ghost one, which is just ok to me (the video made me like it more than any remix)

"Spaghetti Circus" leaked and it OWWWWWWWWWWWWWNS

also like 'spaghetti circus' & the walter jones one more than any juan maclean singles from this year

a touch late to the party obviously, but i just got some new and old DFA stuff from their webstore and that walter jones one is superb, a real standout. anyone who's had a listen to online shop samples and dismissed it should think again. perfect modern take on that post-disco boogie sound.

new still going single = A+

also, good work, ilx's own altair nouveau!

what is the Coati Mundi single?

btw "Spaghetti Circus" is amazing

coati mundi is 'no more blues' on rong

(psst: v v cheap from here: http://amiestreet.com/music/coati-mundi/no-more-blues-12/ )

someone link to an mp3 of spaghetti circus

can't find a live d/l, but you can hear it here

http://hypem.com/#/track/886924/STILL+GOING-Spaghetti+Circus

the Shit Robot/Serge Santiago joint is great, too

If you use Firefox it's fairly simple to "download" songs direct from Hypem by playing the track and then copying it from your cache.

also hype machine will link you to the blog where you can download it.

sometimes those are timed out tho

Holy Ghost! will release their debut early 2010

http://www.dazeddigital.com/article/4377/1/HolyGhostRecommends

Their new single 'I Will Come Back' as remixed by Classixx and DJ Mehdi is out now, whilst their debut album will be released early next year.

really must pick up that holy ghost I THINK I HAVE MENTIONED THAT I LIKE IT A LOT even though I can see why a lot of people would think its nothing special, can't wait for that album.

maybe i'll change my mind since i've only heard a few tracks on myspace & blogs, but it doesn't sound like anything special

spaghetti circus is good but untitled love is even radder

maybe I just overdosed on the DFA aesthetic around the time of sound of silver, or is a lot of awesome stuff coming from them lately?

i wish more DFA bands sounded like 'sound of silver'

naw, I'll take dope 12" after dope 12" DFA over srs album is srs DFA
