Is there a similar thread, or anywhere to talk about Permanent Vacation records?

Is that this label? Waht is good? (n.1)
_________________________ (n.1) I don't see a thread for that label in the search engine, so you may have to start one.

Thats the one. Waht is good? I'd start with this, especially the Holy Ghost! remix,

and I like this too.

Maybe it would be better covered by the Balearic thread?

So, turns out I was broke because I was spending all my money on rent for an apartment I had long since vacated due to not fucking cancelling standing order. I am now due 1200 from my ex-landlord. Which is nice. This might be a sign to splurge.

Well I'll wait till then to buy, obv. I've got a paper trail of emails and they're a well known auctioneers, so if they fuck me over, I'll just ring a daytime radio show. That's how we do things here. I think.

admittedly both groups are hit and miss live ... but i never felt the lifeless and inert thing from gc and chromatics, in fact it's quite the opposite. 04 era gc demo of "life after sundown" is still one of the most swoon-worthy and vibrant songs for me.
there used to be a fansite which had an article that expressed it nicely ... i still have a quote ...
"... (they) take signifiers of feelings and abstract them into pure textures ... Glass Candy give the impression of not believing in love, but they still //bleed// it."
― jaime, Wednesday, 16 July 2008 06:46 (fifteen years ago) link
so nite jewel has a split with glass candy on IDIB and an album on Human Ear coming out. I really like the two demos on the Human Ear page. Fuzzy and pretty and cool.

I liked the Invisible Conga People 12" at the start of the year - particularly Dazed Cable. Anyone know if they've got anything coming soon?
― Treblekicker, Thursday, 25 September 2008 22:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think I "get" Nite Jewel
As influences, she has cited Chris Barbosa -era dance floor greats Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Sa-Fire and Debbie Deb
I guess that makes sense. I was gonna say the 12" sounds like a freestyle track at the wrong speed (sloooowwww)

Friends of IDIB releases, I would like to share with you your new favorite song
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
has anyone picked this glass candy comp that they talk abt here? http://vivaitalians.blogspot.com/2008/10/ton.html
― t_g, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:19 (fifteen years ago) link
not yet - but soon will
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Hmm... I like it, but I feel like it's too clean in some way. I like the imperfections - for lack of a better word - in the IDIB stuff: The fact that the Glass Candy singer is kind of out of tune a lot of the time; the creepiness and dread in a lot of the Chromatics tunes; the lo-fi-ity of the Nite Jewel and a lot of the After Dark stuff. I even like the fake vinyl crackles they bust out - and normally I would absolutely hate that kind of affectation.
I really can't seem to find anything out there that's like the IDIB stuff at all, really - snatches of score from old Italian horror movies, maybe, but that's about it. Someone told me to check out Zombie Zombie, and I thought it was okay, but it was too clean too. I liked that Salem "Yes I Smoke Crack" ep - that was as close as I've gotten to something similar with that really unsettling, haunting vibe.
― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, I've got that Deep Gems disc - it's very cool. Lots of Beatbox remixes with some curios in there, like the one called "Geto Boys," which is the old Iko Iko 12" vocals over a "My Mind's Playing Tricks on Me" loop.
― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:27 (fifteen years ago) link
that "unsettling, haunting vibe" you are referring to seems to work for the invisible conga people, as well. As far as non-idib acts go, I think that john maus and tickley feather fit that bill, too.
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 15:45 (fifteen years ago) link
Ah, yes - I love that John Maus album. I think I've played "My Whole World's Coming Apart" more than any other song this year. Haven't heard Tickley Feather but will check it out - thanks for the tip.
― Savannah Smiles, Wednesday, 19 November 2008 16:40 (fifteen years ago) link
also, like 50% of what's posted on 20 Jazz Funk Greats fits your description. specifically, stuff like throbbing gristle's "hot on the heels of love" and chris and cosey, which they obsessively namedrop (almost as much as those italian horror soundtracks you were mentioning). tickley feather works if only because she's very similar to nite jewel.
don't forget about john carpenter, beppe loda/daniele baldelli and original afro-cosmic music in general (check out the loda mix here)

Just hearing Cable Dazed by Invisible Conga People for the first time, what with it's frequent end of the year ratedness.
Either way, woah.

hope you got yer tickets, dmr.simonetti was just in here all stressed out cuz it's sold out and people are bugging him for guest list action.

!! really ?? no clue they were that popular!
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Saturday, 7 March 2009 23:55 (fifteen years ago) link
I got tickets at the door, but yeah, there were tons of people there. Left after Nite Jewel cuz I had a birthday party to go to and there was still a line around the corner.
― Chesney Freemanwater Revival (maciej recognizing trill), Sunday, 8 March 2009 20:38 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah i was there--small venue, long line, etc.
thought nite jewel was great & i liked the new stuff. didnt stay for glass candy but dmr said they were really good.
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Sunday, 8 March 2009 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link
they can come off a little serious on their recordings sometimes but live they're a total party band, really fun set. first or second song I think was Digital Versicolor and the stage filled up with people dancin, the bouncers came and cleared them off afterward but the band was into it. they closed with a weird hip-hoppy version of Iko Iko using the Isaac Hayes loop from that Geto Boys song
at one point toward the end of their set I checked the time on my phone and was like 3:48AM WHAT THE SHIT but I forgot it automatically shoots ahead for daylight savings. lol
― dmr, Monday, 9 March 2009 03:17 (fifteen years ago) link
also it was cool to hear House of House loud. can't remember what else Mike S. played except Hall n Oates "I Can't Go For That" right after Nite jewel got done
― dmr, Monday, 9 March 2009 03:18 (fifteen years ago) link
i thought the bottin track w/the video (no static) was just ok. pretty good, but didn't blow my mind, but then i heard the other tracks on his myspace and damn. really great. especially Horror Disco makes me appreciate no static way more and i'm totally looking forward to his album.

yess. he played this out in sf too, and i officially lost my shit. not sure i was 100% coherent, but pretty sure i remember lots of acid house tracks being played as well
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Sunday, 15 March 2009 09:15 (fifteen years ago) link
did i already tell this story? when sweeney was in sf and played house of house, i typed into my cellphone and handed it to simonetti and it said "tell tim house of house is played out already"
― (jaxon) ( .) ( .) (jaxon), Sunday, 15 March 2009 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link
haha, played out in online mixes/podcasts maybe. hearing it in a club and dancing to it was fun/new for me.
but yeah, it was sweeney wasn't it?
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Sunday, 15 March 2009 18:18 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, it was all jokes. i was so stoked to hear it loud.

I ordered that Desire CD and just got it. I love it, but I think I'm a blind IDIB fanatic.It's got bits of Chromatics, Glass Candy, and Farah (there's some 'spoken word'-y bits that sound exactly like her, really) - all the Johnny Jewel stuff. I still hope they put the Twisted Wires and Bottin songs out digitally; I haven't heard them yet. What else do they have coming out?
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:59 (fifteen years ago) link
another nite jewel 12" i think?
