New from the DFA...

that explains things.

I like the idea of bands as concepts and the members aren't relevant. They should keep evolving till there's been dozens of lineups without the original members.

Can't wait for the Ray Mang 12" on DFA.

Have a listen: http://www.myspace.com/raymang

sounds like "look into my eyes" is an edit of "love on a real train". didn't somebody just do this?

Williams did it recently with a great remix by Studio

and ARP. And the host of the new party Street Waves every last saturday of each month at Tandem in Bushwick, next one is setp 26th with guest dj....DAN SELZER.

for those who have been counting down the days with their little advent calenders...this has been cancelled/postponed due to a private party. Or at least that's what I was told.

Looks like someone reviewed the mislabeled leak.

wait a minute...

ridiculous

what was the mislabeled leak?

Yeah, those linked on the second blog are wrong. There is a version of this circulating that is mislabeled. The one labeled as the Theo Parrish remix on the second one is the Padded Cell remix. The version I downloaded had the actual Theo Parrish remix labeled as the Runaway remix. Over on DJH I think someone mentioned that the initial batch of promos sent out had them mislabeled.

The surefire way of checking if you have the right labels, is that the Prince Language remix sounds a lot like the original ("your love away from me, you can't hide..."), all the rest are quite different from the original version.

Pitchfork reviewer seems to have the right copy? "Prince Language throws on some dub wobble, but you've got to A/B the two versions closely to even gauge what he's added or subtracted, the "playing with the levels" school of remixing at its blandest."

yeah but then he confuses theo parrish with padded cell, etc

who is this guy anyway

probably some chick

sounds hot, do u have digits

its why ive always said dont let chicks review music

they always get mislabeled promos

somebody should invite her to ilx

that's weird if that's a review of the leak since by now the actual dfa-distributed promos are out

women!

somebody should invite her to ban her from ilx

Just posted on Facebook re LCD Soundsystem:

to respond to stuff: i think new album in march. so there. in studio as we speak (type) waiting for something to get edited and got an email that i can now access this thing. so there. thanks for the niceness, etc. blah j

And there's more:

will totally tour next year also. as many places as we can. places we've been to a bunch (hello, dearest glasgow!) and hopefully places we've never been (mexico? serbia? china?) with what i think will be the best version of the band yet. there will most likely be a single before the new year, and the new 45:33 remixes are coming out right now.

should be a certain number of free downloads of the new single when it's ready. i must say, though, that we're trying to make the vinyl include a free download, so i recommend that. mainly because we worked really hard on the art and the mastering, and we're proud of it.

the art is photos by ruvan Wijesooriya and graphics by dfa superdesigner mike vadino of bureau. the mastering for the vinyl (and digi) is by my engineer hero, original mentor, and best vinyl cutter ever, bob weston of shellac at chicago mastering. i'm honestly really excited.

and you can start the tour in Atlanta, having skipped it for the past 4 or 5 years

Where the hell does James Murphy get his record clamps (see above photo).

does jacques renault do awesome sets? because he's coming to my town..

Couple of his mixes here and here

this one is also dece

I like this one too (can't find a download)
http://www.discogs.com/Jacques-Renault-Mystery-Mix-1/release/1120467

never seen him spin live, probably good I think

there was a set of his online with me on the second half but I can't find it.

that mystery mix was the first "release" on Italians Do It Better, or was supposed to be. Jacques made CD-rs with silkscreened covers I think and MIke sold them or was going to or was going to release it or something. Jacques gave it to me when he used to come to the alldisco parties, he had my at Mya + the MIrror.

i have one of those! got it with the first three IDIB 12"s.

^^^^ same here

dan, is it this one?

http://slapyouinpublic.com/MUSIC/MIXES/PDDNM-NYC-NOV07.mp3

that mix is awesome.

this too is good: http://www.dfarecords.com/radiomixes/summer2009.html

yeah, that mix. I start about 36 minutes in though.

Jacques and I are both djing in LA this saturday, but not together.

LCD Soundsystem will release a new 12" single through select record stores on Record Store Day's 'Vinyl Saturday', November 7; the digital release will follow on November 24.

The track isn't taken from the forthcoming LCD Soundsystem album, which is due out in March. Nor does it offer any great clues to how the album will sound: it's a cover of Alan Vega's 'Bye Bye Bayou', rendered in the jam-style of LCD circa 2003-4, with that signature rolling bass and galloping drum sound that we all know and love, and Murphy doing his inimitable spoken vocal thing over the top. On the flipside of the 12" is an acapella.

The original 'Bye Bye Bayou' appeared on Alan Vega's eponymous 1980 solo debut.

lol, another record store day!

Amazon listing says NEW PIXELTAN 12"! Oh shit yes. Called "Yamerarena-I."

lejospopo @HolyGhostNYC I will come back is the single of the year imo, when's it gonna get a proper physical release?

HolyGhostNYC @lejospopo limited full art vinyl will be available exclusively through turntable lab soon, then a dfa pressing later in the year.

well i'll be!

anyone hear the yura yura teikoku on death from abroad?

The Yura Yura Teikoku album is decent, although not as poppy as i thought it was going to be. Some nice sax action. Also, in a welcome turn of events, DFA have a proper website again now!

in a way i had loads of fun this summer tryna work out what was gonna get released an the theories ppl had here and also it was a gr8 year for them impo

more dfa-related than strictly dfa, but dj kaos' "kosmischer ruckenwind" single is tremendous

enjoying the ray mang single too, though it's not blowing me away just now

the beginning of the end of a rather wonderful partnership ?

that's a damn shame

goldsworthy responds:
"I haven't left. If that was the case then, well, Murphy's never there, cause he's always touring or in the studio, so that would mean he left, I don't know, nine years ago or something?"

lol
