New from the DFA...

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?

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

Smells like sour grapes from here

still going's robbie williams remix is alarmingly good

if a little *cough* in debt to new order

is this ^ online anyplace?

on the SG fb page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Still-Going/90834114716

rad! i think i prefer the dub but i guess the original isn't bad either... guess i'm not always in the mood for a robbie williams

Black Van's "Yearning" sounds like a lost Discovery album track.

so tell me abt peter gordon then.

his wikipedia page tells me that lawrence wiener has made albums(?)

might start an rfi thread

at 7.30 ish mark when those girls start singing <3 also

there's some talk of him & the lolo on the arthur russell thread iirc (arthur guests on one of his/their songs- "that hat"). i've liked pretty much everything i've heard by the guy but i only have one album, i think jaxon knows more

obviously stirmonster knows something about him too ha

o shit. album on DFA? crazy.

i've got this http://www.discogs.com/Love-Of-Life-Orchestra-Extended-Niceties/master/204817

don't know that much about him but that he's worked w/tons of people and apparently still makes music for TV shows and movies and stuff.

played sax on and produced some arthur russell stuff.

man. just looking at the discogs of the stuff he's worked on is crazy. so much cool stuff. downtown ny in the early 80s was so cool

I was just listening to that track this evening, its great. There's some stuff on Peter Gordon in the (fantastic, easy to recommend) new Arthur Russell biography. Seems an interesting guy, into shit like ray charles&schoenberg growing up, had some student band that "morphed top 100 chart songs into freeform improvisations", hung out w/ don van vliet and played w/ chuck berry once. Played on Kiss Me Again w/david byrne, henry flynt and others.

holy shit how did i not know henry flynt was involved with "kiss me again"? i think i need more henry flynt albums

that line up was sick. bit of a one-off for flynt, but I love a lot of his stuff

into shit like ray charles & schoenberg

ah.... shit like that ;)

lady miss keir's vox and lyrics on that ray mang release are excruciating.

bit of a one-off for flynt

flynt is pretty much my favorite dude to turn to for blissed out droney music but i never got around to checking out that nova'billy stuff he was working on around this time pd, or even his stuff with the insurrections from the 60s. whatever it sounds like i'm sure it's nothing remotely stylistically similar to "kiss me again"

I'm also currently engaged in tracking down what I can find of the LOLO/Gordon/van Tieghem/Zummmo/etc axis after reading Hold on to Your Dreams. Makes sense that DFA are compiling Gordon now that his profile is marginally higher than it's been for a long time.

Peter Gordon also runs Thirsty Ear, where Matthew Shipp has been A&Ring the Blue Series for a fair bit now:

"Star Jaws" is a great P. Gordon album to look out for, esp. "Intervallic Expansion" (4th stream bar down at http://www.squidco.com/miva/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=10951)
