New from the DFA...

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...

Also, plaxico, if you like the gayer-sounding end of DFA, check out the Canyons single IMMEDIATELY.

will definitely check that out, also gonna be in london in a week and I want to pick up some dfa stuff that I have been feeling a lot lately and that was top of my list (dnr it was not just a normal release, wtf @ the "for heavy rotation" bit in the video then?)

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but the video is a remake of New Order's Confusion- possibly from that?

yeah, i'm an idiot! : )

also, i'm giving this canyons a listen on their myspace, and it starts out not awesome, but then that changes very suddenly after the first minute and a half or so!

i guess i like the more rockist end of DFA, if that's still a thing :/

They're still doing that too- I think I night be the only person on this board actually excited by the prospect of a Free Energy album...

that canyons 12" is awesome! do u just not like that brief synth appearance there or what?

i also am interested in a free energy lp

ugh count me outt. free energy is the type of dfa i have no patience for whatsoever

saw them live in their infancy and let me tell you it was sub-!!!/outhud blargh.

anyways. are they ever planning on a DFA compilation #3? i think they're almost limiting the appeal of these singles by not compiling them in some way or releasing 12" material from the last few years on cd

do people buy CDs enough any more to make it worthwhile? i figure that anyone who's not grabbing the vinyl just downloads from itunes or emusic or somesuch.

i'd bet an online comp would do well too. and maybe i don't know shit about shit but i do think enough people buy cds for it to be worthwhile, dfa is a pretty big label right?

yeah and some of this shit definitely fall through the cracks

So, is spaghetti circus in stores already?

it's on the itunes store, haven't seen the 12" yet

how is this done? my firefox cache is encrypted so i can't get at anything

i know that if you're using safari and you go to view>view source you can find the file listed and double clicking it will give you the address of the file which you can use to download it (the only way i have ever figured out of doing this is making a link out of the the file and downloading source file, but i'm sure there's a less cumbersome way of doing this) there must be a similar way to do this with firefox?

yeah i used to do that but a lot of places (the bbc site for instance) have got wise to it and it doesnt work anymore. that trick doesnt seem to work on hype either - also when hype archives a track does it keep it at the original bitrate or shrink it?

It just appeared on eMusic. The soundscans are amazing.

Untitled Love is Balearic-sounding, which is sort of surprising for the DFA label?

YACHT dude
