dont get this post

will challops never cease:

'hearts on fire' >>> any lcd song

that's arguably the most sensible thing you've said

I want to like "Hearts on Fire" but it does absolutely nothing for me :/

i played out the cut copy album today while driving around -- so perfect

cut copy album better than any lcd album but they have done nothing near as good as the early lcd singles

Absolutely amazing last week on the second of two nights @ Barrowlands. 90+ minutes of joy, dancing & wonder...

cut copy sux

^^^^^

One of the few times you'll see the Rev and I agree, tbh.

why do you want to like it if it does nothing for you? the c/c record was shit in spite of tim g who is amazing and john maclean always seems like such a prick tbh.

"So Haunted" > "Hearts on Fire."

All My Friends >>>>>> So Haunted

i like that song going nowhere off their first album the most.

"All My Friends" is a piece of shit.

All your friends are pieces of shit?

The Cut Copy album is all about Far Away for me, such an amazing chorus.

xp: you really, REALLY need to stop trying so hard

Didn't know I was "trying so hard" when my post took about 2 seconds to think up, another 2 to type out, and a fifth second to click "Submit Post"...

^^^ (xp)

One of the few times you'll see the DERE and I agree, tbh.

LOL U R FUNNEH

anyone know anything about the cover of Throw? Is it being released on iTunes?

DFA forums say it's on the iTunes version.

right, only iTunes by the look - can preview it through the iTunes store.

finally listening to this now. so far the songs on this that aren't "Drunk Girls" are awesome and even that one is ok

agreed, this is my 10th time thru it right now and it's really their best long player. i kinda like how he treats 12"s, eps and albums as three absolutely distinct entities.

"So Haunted" > "Hearts on Fire."

so haunted is the one that sounds like an off-key, off-kilter elo? great chorus on that song -- and yeah, it's better than hearts on fire.

awesome

I'm pretty sure that "Pow Pow" contains elements of one of the middle sections of 45'33"... having trouble isolating which parts. Gonna A-B when I get a chance...

think this is it:

Pow Pow (6:45 - 7:48) = 45'33" part IV (6:25 - 7:33)*

*"You're out in space/You feel so good... nananananana"

maybe everyone with a boner for cut copy can go to the cut copy thread and we can continue talking about how awesome this album is.

funny thing tho about gavin russom playing with them now... i'd like to know the "custom synth rigs" he built for them. he has an interview and new mix up on FACT.

the interview feels a little cliche to me, the whole "i did LSD at a party and it opened my mind to all the different types of music that i could play together..." i mean like, cmon

that said the crystal ark is RAD

I sorta burned myself out on this album due to the fact that it was the only thing on my work computer

but it's still 100% awesome

lol burnt out on an unreleased album

i had the range of emotions w/r/t this album. hated it, tolerated it, enjoyed it, loved it, don't care to hear anything off it again. will now sit in the balcony with my buddy waldorf and discuss it.

I played this once through at work, it was decent. Really liked some songs, really didn't like a few others... it's a mixed bag. One listen's enough for now, though. Waiting for the album release so I can crank dat in the car.

my buddy waldorf

whoa

live footage here - nicked off the DFA forums

Could someone work some source code magic and post a direct link to 00532_h264_m.mp4?

*attempts magic*

*admits defeat*

*defers to 1337 hax0rz*

plug-ins are the key

4 Mac: http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/
4 Windows: http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/rtmp.html

...those seem to be plugins for watching the stream, not for saving the mp4 source file?

^ IANAM

jeez guys, you can lead a horse to water...

"As of 2.1 there are two additional server programs, rtmpsrv and rtmpsuck.

rtmpsrv is a stub for a server; it logs the connect and play parameters from a regular client that connects to it. It then invokes rtmpdump with those parameters to retrieve the stream.

rtmpsuck is a transparent proxy; it intercepts connections from a client and then makes an outbound connection to the real server. After all handshaking is complete and encryption keys with both sides are negotiated, it records the cleartext stream data into files while relaying the data from the server to the client. "

^ text doesn't exist on the Windows page fyi

Jesus, they're terrible on this tour. The first 4 or 5 songs on this live show are awful, especially Daft Punk Is Playing..

Looks like they're saving it with Tribulations, but damn, what an awful start to a show. It's time they just did an album for Nancy.

Where did you see them?

I'm hopeful once the album is actually released they'll start playing a few more songs from it, going from that live footage.

i'm watchign the vid linked above. The crowd started getting into after Tribulations and Yeah, but if this is any indication, i'm gonna pass on this tour.
