a year or two late, but what did we all think of chicken lips' "making faces"? i can't find the thread that jaxon (???) started, but i finally got it and i'm not sure what to think. already wishing i'd bought the japanese version with the dancey dubs on the end ...

i'm not sure where it falls on the spectrum from chromeo (wack) -----> scissor sisters (hott)

i honestly never fell in love with it. it had a nice idea (sorta soft rock disco) but couldn't pull it off with great songs. Peter Brown is a great example of this working.

the other night a local SF group opened for Fujiya & Miyagi called Sugar & Gold (http://www.myspace.com/sugarandgold). wasn't too stoked on them. definitely pulling the soft rock disco (sounded like Player) but a bit too soft and a bit too gay (there was a dude dancing on stage the whole night with a Kermit the Frog mask on and barely any clothes. really ruined the show). kinda reminded me of Scissor Sisters

i thought 3 or 4 of the songs were pretty decent

ALAN PARSONS PROJECT: S/D (beardo edition)

should i just grab the best-of? it seems like only the instrumental tracks really match the vibe.

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:32 (nineteen years ago)

is the end of that track clipped for anyone else?

― artdamages, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:39 (nineteen years ago)

this one seems like all you'll ever need

― moonship journey to baja, Sunday, 18 March 2007 19:50 (nineteen years ago)

Equip - XXXO
http://www.discogs.com/release/861406

This track is pure orgasmic one of the finest tracks i have ever listened to in my life. A true lost classic - a spacey electro track from the 1980s that was just released on 12" vinyl in December 2006

produced by DJ Greg Wilson

massive pulsating synths !, drum machines, futuristic spacey-electro music that grooves and flows

This blog has a link to a download: JUST DO IT NOW !

Equip- XXXO (Manchester England 1983)

― djmartian, Sunday, 18 March 2007 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

Greg played that for me and my then co-alldisco djs in his hotel room when he came to ny last year. Awesome.

― dan selzer, Sunday, 18 March 2007 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

new Kathy Diamond record (produced by Maurice Fulton) seems tailor made for this thread

― Dominique, Friday, 23 March 2007 21:04 (nineteen years ago)

i bought that Equip record at Halcyon right around christmas-- been blowing me away ever since. it's a fantastic track to use to bring out more house and techno, coming from disco...

great recommendation, dom. lovin' it

agh so mad i missed that sakamoto/wilson thing

look on noise board

what's the story w/maurice fulton's myspace? it has this as it's tagline: "U Have Tigersushi, You Will NOT Be Added"

― jaxon, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:45 (nineteen years ago)

former label beef i assume

― strongohulkington, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

wasn't there a mu track that ripped into tigersushi?

― strongohulkington, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

longstanding record label beef

see Mu's "Tigerbastard" etc.

there's a thread where people talk about it, I'll try to find it

― dmr, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:54 (nineteen years ago)

lol xposts

― dmr, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:55 (nineteen years ago)

i think stirmonster talks about it on this thread.

basically, his beef isnt with joakim, its with the guy who handled the business side of things.

― g®▲Ðұ, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

marissa's beef is with joachim.

― g®▲Ðұ, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:58 (nineteen years ago)

seems like fulton's going a little overboard with the beef since the shit happened years ago and the guy in question doesn't work for the label anymore

― dmr, Saturday, 24 March 2007 19:59 (nineteen years ago)

ok, so its not on this thread.

fwiw, i added MF while having Tigersushi as a friend.

ya srsly want to hear.

― the table is the table, Thursday, 29 March 2007 00:13 (nineteen years ago)

the quiet village toby tobias is pretty cool

http://www.discogs.com/release/890884

not very beardo really

― dmr, Thursday, 29 March 2007 00:16 (nineteen years ago)

^^^i like that one. not crazy about the gorillaz remix.

I am loving all the new Rong stuff. thier website may never come to be but the recent stuff is really great, if not really that beardo. Tim Sweeney played what I assume is a forthcoming Lee Douglas track on his show last week that sounds great. Deep and disco-ey like the last one.

I think Rong should get its own thread.

― g®▲Ðұ, Thursday, 29 March 2007 00:50 (nineteen years ago)

The Rong 2cd comp is pretty solid.

Quiet Village remixes are becoming increasingly samey tempo/texture wise, although I guess the quality control hasn't dipped so much. I think I still prefer their "original" material at the moment.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 29 March 2007 01:25 (nineteen years ago)

they might be samey, but the tempo/texture is so lush & good that i don't really care. i think that this quality can be attributed to lots of DJs' and producers' remixes... i've almost never heard a Carl Craig remix that i couldn't tell was a CC remix pretty quickly, but for the most part they're good. yknow?

― the table is the table, Thursday, 29 March 2007 02:24 (nineteen years ago)

my housemate pointed out that the drums in the quiet village mix of ''DAVE'S SEX BITS sound like 'africa' by toto.

― haitch, Thursday, 29 March 2007 02:51 (nineteen years ago)

lol at the weirdo re-edit of "Walk The Night" over at http://www.keyboardmasher.com/

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 29 March 2007 03:56 (nineteen years ago)

funny that site doesnt have lovefingers or bumrocks on its links page.

don't forget dream chimney

wow, that edit is really retarded

― jaxon, Thursday, 29 March 2007 06:11 (nineteen years ago)

I should send him/her my re-edit of "wheel my out" where I loop the first 2 bars over and over.

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 29 March 2007 06:59 (nineteen years ago)

funny grady...just emailed the same comment to michael before seeing this here.

― dan selzer, Thursday, 29 March 2007 09:46 (nineteen years ago)

that johnny mathis disco track on robotsinheat sort of exemplifies a lot of music on these cosmic/easy pop/disco blogs, taking those one or two bizarro piece from well known artists catalogue and giving it some new cratedigger life.

here's an imaginary mixtape i would make out of this kind of stuff:

paul mccartney - temporary secretary
paul mccartney - let 'em in
johnny mathis - gone gone gone
something from chubby checker's psych record
osmonds - i, i, i
the who - eminence front
alan parsons - mammagamma
greg kihn - jeopardy (instrumental)
cat stevens - was dog a doughnut?
frankie valli - beggin'
neil young - computer age

― Michael F Gill, Thursday, 29 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

there's a really good "d-i-r-t-y edits" of beggin'

by these guys from France ... they've done a bunch of cool ones

http://www.d-i-r-t-y.com/edits.html

the most recent jj cale is good too

this kathy diamond is pretty great

― deej, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:31 (nineteen years ago)

i'm kinda torn on that kathy diamond. i really like it, the music's really great and some of the textures are fab, but every once in a while, and maybe it's her voice, i feel like i'm listening to some mid 90s trip hop. kruder or zero 7 type stuff.
