dr nut & the night: jed.

he will never talk to me again now.

my niceness has the excuse of being drunk.

sweet regret, court me now.

haha

i didnt mean any of that stuff

nu-huh me either.

just a bit of fun!

except the bit about adam's babies, that's true.

ah my head will explode with such nice things you've both said! next month should be cool, I'll book this week hopefully.

this morning it felt like a hundred hungry dogs were barking in my head.

Last night in London = awesomeness. Much fun was had and my friends loved it. Can anyone shed any light on that guitar instrumental version of The Model, though? I *need* that record.

I wasn't there but it could well be the DJ Hell remix of Snakefinger's 1980 cover version. (Snakefinger = guitar player for the Residents)

http://www.urbanized-records.com/e/search/vinyl_detail.cgi?vinyl_id=1729

it wasn't snakefinger. i meant to ask the wonderful rory what it was. i shall ask him and report back.

Twitch, you impressed me (same goes for Johnny, obv). I had a great time.

Hey Twitch -

I met you in BKLYN. I play in Kid's band. Did he ever give you a copy of our stuff?

glad you enjoyed it barima.

jay vee - he didn't give me any of yr stuff but then i only saw him really briefly. i meant to hang out with him more but i was really ill while i was there. i really, really, really want to get you guys to play the club. kid knows that you have an open invitation to play. i don't need to hear it, i know i'm going to love it. tell kid i said hi and that next time we'll hook up properly.

right on.

anyone have a tracklisting of what mayer played at the BRW?

I think I heard these:

ada, "maps" (some drawn out remix?)
ada, "eve"
closer musik, "1 2 3 no gravity (ewan pearson mix)"
frei / köhncke, "hot love (dj koze rmx.)"

... and then blank.

Superpitcher - 'Happiness (M.Mayer remix)'
Baxendale (!) - 'I Built this City' I think

("Cashpoint Re-edit" of latter, possibly)

also, has anyone heard the new eskimo thing yet? is it a mix or a comp? the tracklisting looks pretty great.

it's a mix

mmmmmmmmmmm.

i think it's better than kil the dj.

the other baxendale?

There is no other. I was thinking of Hefner.

perhaps mayer has read this.

any ideas ronan? RJG? hmmm?

I only have one.

sock it to me.

"One more choon! One more choon! One more choon! One more choon!"

What a fine thing to christen my new CD player with.

Mr Optimo, you should consider coming to the West Coast with your concern, and when I say the West Coast I mean "San Francisco".

Also saw that thing about my babies above. Interesting!

Anybody else have burst of noise occur a couple of seconds into track 14 (ie, second part of "I Walk")?

yup, 4999 other people. it seems the first batch of 5000 have this manufacturing flaw which wasn't discovered until after they had been shipped to the shops. tigersushi will replace any of the ofeending copies if they are sent back to them direct (which i can appreciate is probably more effort than anyone is going to be bothered with).

-- stirmonster (jd_twitc...), January 4th, 2005 12:24 PM.

crazy!! i just got this like 2 weeks ago and i guess i'm one of the 5000. i thought it was intentional.

i think when you say "san francisco", what you mean to say is "los angeles"

What's a "Los Angeles"?

Revive. Tell me about 1992.

I just want to say that I finally played the Psyche Out mix CD yesterday and it was outstanding.

Optimo are DJing in Brighton in a few weeks time, I can't wait!

Here's a question for anyone with the How to Kill the DJ pt 2 mix...just bought it today, and about halfway through the "one more tune" crowd chant at the end, there's a loud *POP*. Apologies for the trivial question, but I'm wondering if I've got a bum CD or if it's there in the mix- it's really quite startling.

I think there were some problematic CDs in the first run, possibly mentioned on this thread at some point.

It is mentioned somewhere up there. Second press is ok so return it and get that.

Thanks. Where would I return it to, though? Tigersushi and Kill the DJ are both in Paris, and returning it to Insound might be a gamble on getting the same pressing again. Is there a US distributor I could get in touch with?

God, I feel silly about this. But those POPs (found another one, in the "Dexter" segment) will haunt me to my dying day otherwise. I'm totally compulsive about this kind of thing...

i've never heard of there being one in the 'dexter' segment before - odd. i'm not sure who the us distributor is but i know forced exposure did some distro on it. david day from forced exposure posts here so you could ask him. otherwise, i could burn you a cdr from the master (if i can find it).

Looks like you were unable to OMIT POP ahahaha *dies of shame*

*cymbal crash*

i think it's so funny that insound now carries the kill the dj comp. a few years back i recommended that they might start stocking tigersushi, as it seemed to be just the sort of "dance music" their indie buyers would lap up like warm milk -- and i got a really snide response from someone there that they just didn't have time to listen to all the "electronic music" out there. guess they found time.

I really want to go tonight and see the Fire Engines, but I am very poor. Convince me, Glasgow.

it will be your last chance ever to see them and i promise they will be as entertaining as it is possible to be in 23 minutes. if you are very skint, i can put you on a half price list.

Arse, I forgot about this tonight. I'm not sure I am up to it. If I am not there, try to have fun without me.
