New from the DFA...

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

saying this as someone who loves Sound of Silver

rev i love you but i have no idea what that post meant?!?!?

also max is def telling the truth wrt still going

rev i love you but you're bringing me down

ha yeah max is otm but the banger is the banger

wish the bass and drums were less boring on spaghetti circus. i know, lol dance music.

plax, what I'm saying is I prefer DFA when they are making awesome dance music with bass and drums that Jordan might find boring than accomplished but not as fun post-punk statement music

Free Energy: dudes who really wish they were Cheap Trick?

or thin lizzy. but they're such shittier lyric writers than either of those bands

i like the dfa when their discoisms sound faggier than crate diggerish

^^^

I didn't really bother with sound of silver, to be honest but I for one am support DFA's dope 12" after dope 12" policy, and am proud of it!

will look to buy the new still going today. Also, is there going to be proper release of I Will Come Back?

I know there was some super-limited vinyl release through Green Label Sound, but those were all given away.

uh what? is there not gonna be a proper release?

cos like, i really want this.

I would be surprised if there wasn't a proper release later this year or in early 2010 to coincide with the album, but who knows...
