I like that track "Baby." It's not very beardo (more like Daptone Records soul revival) but some of the other stuff on their myspace sounds more discoey.

love love lovin the music go music tracks!! ikr just wrote whineys twitter review btw
― max, Monday, 17 August 2009 15:25 (sixteen years ago)
ay yo's, apologies if this is way too off topic for this thread, but i have some writerly advice to ask. i used to write for music magazines and alt-weeklies regularly 10 years or so ago, and i'm dipping my toe back in the pool by writing press releases for a well-known record label. anyway, last night i found a blog post that plagiarizes my most recent release, word-for-word, with a little intro and outro tagged on. should I be flattered or pissed off? should I say something? privately or in public? is this how it's regluarly done in the ol' blogosphere? i've had conflicting answers from some of my friends irl, so i thought i'd come here where there's are larger cluster of, erm, professionals. ;) what should I do?
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Monday, 17 August 2009 18:57 (sixteen years ago)
to be honest, i'm pretty flattered and while i think that said blog is a complete joke after this, i don't feel too compelled to out them or get all righteous about it.
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Monday, 17 August 2009 18:58 (sixteen years ago)
can't imagine why anyone would want to run a blog, where you're writing for pleasure and self indulgence iirc and just regurgitate press releases. I wouldn't bother outing them and just let their cold festering emptiness eat them alive tbh lol.
― ❊❁❄❆❇❃✴❈plaxico❈✴❃❇❆❄❁❊ (I know, right?), Monday, 17 August 2009 19:35 (sixteen years ago)
im not positive about this mike but i think press releases are considered public domain. dunno about the blogosphere but when i was writing press releases as a professional publicist (lol) it wasnt uncommon to see a fair number of phrases and sometimes even whole sentence groups or paragraphs lifted for news articles--i think its bad form on the part of the blog or newspaper because it feels like a dishonest suspension of what should be the relationship btw pr professionals and journalists, but who gives at shit at this point. in any event as a publicist i didnt really care as long as they were writing about my clients; as a writer i might feel a little mad, but given how press releases are used and distributed i cant imagine id care.
― max, Monday, 17 August 2009 21:52 (sixteen years ago)
that's what i figured. i wouldn't have even batted an eyelash if it was a sentence or phrase, but three whole paragraphs lifted verbatim? i was like OH NO U DI INT. i would guess the label is stoked since it's their "propaganda" in full, though. do you guys hear about this sort of thing happening regularly?
― mikebee (BATTAGS), Monday, 17 August 2009 22:51 (sixteen years ago)
I haven't seen it with blogs that I know of, but any website that *sells* music just seems to cut out phrases or entire press releases, it seems.Doing it on a blog is a little funny, cuz it kinda takes away from the whole uh 'blogging' part. It's a step up from just posting mp3s with no text though maybe? I mean in terms of getting information/positive promotional phrases out there... like at least the press release is doing some work/being read right?
― Chinavision (altair nouveau), Monday, 17 August 2009 22:57 (sixteen years ago)
ya from a publicity point of view its ideal to have the release copied word-for-word!!!!
― max, Monday, 17 August 2009 23:27 (sixteen years ago)
new son of sound on TIRK sounds incredible

anybody want to take a crack at this?
ID this sample
who sampled the intro to Brooklyn Dreams - Street Man? or have I just heard Street Man on a mix?
― dmr, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 13:28 (sixteen years ago)
Was it this Moxie one: http://www.discogs.com/Unknown-Artist-Run-Disco-Run/release/479094
You can hear it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?h1tp31j1ut2
― matt2, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 18:00 (sixteen years ago)
could be! I actually thought it was some big hip-hop song like Jay-Z or Beanie Sigel but I guess not, samples like that are pretty well cataloged on the web and I can't find any reference to it. maybe I just heard the original or the Moxie version on a DJ mix.
― dmr, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 18:22 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, I feel like you're right regarding being sampled elsewhere.
― matt2, Tuesday, 18 August 2009 18:53 (sixteen years ago)
it was also in dj harvey's 'essential mix'- http://www.djhistory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34678

for real? I guess I should hear the original then. never really liked Dr. Hook but the guitars on that thing are great

I'm just saying, I'm not familiar with all those songs, but I don't think I'd call any of them space disco!

PS Dan I wish you'd follow Part Time Punks up to SF this weekend!
Spaec Disco is one of those genres, that, when I hear it described, always seems like it is gonna be the most AMAZING thing I've ever heard, but is always slightly disappointing when I hear what seems to come under this term.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.
― ...and the wizard blew his horn (Masonic Boom), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
or space disco, even.
How about just disco tracks by the group SPACE? Cuz they're pretty unbeatable.

Kate, if this doesn't excite you, you should probably stop looking for Space Disco!
