that Fire Engines comp. looks awesome

I've posted this about 8 times in the last half hour:

Hey-

For about 6 years the Acute Records website was just a single white page with a bit of text and the phrase "new site soon" up top. Finally, about a year ago, it had a "design", some sort of Acute house style, but was still just a tease. Then, after much work and with a great deal of help from Rob from Catsup Plate, we got a real website up there. But I didn't officially "announce" it because I was waiting to start the Acute blog. So after a few more months, and with a great deal of help from Max of artificeeternity.com, we finally set up the blog. And I still didn't say anything. I had posted an initial intro post, but wanted to wait until there was a more substantial post. Well now there is, so I'm here to tell you about it.

Consider the Acute Records website officially "launched"! You can see it here:
http://acuterecords.com

And feel free to check out the Acute Records Blog here:
http://acuterecords.com/blog/

Why a blog? Why not. You can read all about it in the first post, but basically the blog will be an outlet for the discussion of music, the stuff we're releasing, the stuff we want to release, the stuff we wished we released. Old music, new music, tours, radio, interviews etc. Like the original Acute geocities website, it'll mostly just be the rants of a fan, nothing too authoritative or academic. Hopefully it will be fun, maybe a bit informative and maybe a bit funny at times.

My goal is to have at least one post a week because I want to make sure you come back and keep checking it...I want to be in your RSS reader, I want to be in your blogroll. Most importantly, I want you to comment and take part. The first real post is up, an extensive and excessive summation of my appearance on the Beats in Space radio show. Don't worry, I'll probably never post anything that long again.

So please come check it out and let me know what you think. We're still working the kinks out but I'm pretty psyched about it. And look for the Fire Engines CD Hungry Beat on October 2nd and for news beyond that...well you'll have to join the mailing list and keep checking the blog!

Thanks,

Dan

Don't worry, I'll probably never post anything that long again.

oh, please do. you don't talk about music on ILX/Noize nearly as much as you should

there's probably a good reason for that.

unless you're being self depreciating, i think i understand what you're talking about. keeping yr precious little secrets to yrself. no?

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TURN OFF THAT LIL PENIS KID VIDEO!?

keeping secrets only because there's stuff I want to release and I don't want someone else to do it first, or worse yet, everyone to go download everything and get all bored and jaded "oh I can't believe you're putting that 20 year old record out, that's soooo last year". That and I haven't always enjoyed discussing music on ILX. Shocking, no?

Everyone has secrets.

those are exactly the secrets i thought you were talking about.

SECRETS AND LIES

You should put r@re tracks up without any identifying info on them.

I'm going to do that with some DJ mixes I think. I know some haters think that the elitist move, but I've always relished the mystery, it's fun. Most of the stuff I want to put on DJ mixes aren't that obscure, but I want to inspire that feeling when someone's like "oh man, what is that!". I still get that all the time. I think it's something that should never die.

Dan Selzer,

Could you email r✧✧✧@gunc✧✧✧.d✧ and put something together when you come to SF? kthxbye

Steve Shasta

hey you weren't upset that i "disappeared" sat? wasn't my intention.

You should put r@re tracks up without any identifying info on them

yeah I'm not too into that

I never go to 12AM Maternal blog anymore now that it's just "Mystery Trak #12," "Mystery Track #13" etc.

it's not that annoying on a mix tho

steve, you lost me on the address...

sanskrit, it's like you said, we were all ready to get frozen hot chocolates and you were like "i'm gonna bum rush this" and give it a shot. We didn't think you'd get in but figured you had. I just regret not getting on a VIP list...and even turning down a txt-ed offer I got at like 5. I really, stupidly thought we'd all just get in!

uh ryan @ gunclub.dj

sorry i was trying to be elitist and you have to guess the rest of the address AH JUST KIDDING SORRY BAD JOKE HAHA ahem.

i've been meaning to start an ILX thread on the idea of elitism, privacy, djs, blogs and "giving away stuff". i'm lazy though

jacque torres is amazing but those hot chocolates will destroy your colon. even half of one.

Oh this seems like a really GREAT idea!!

This annoying chick that was a friend of the folks I went with said I "HAD to try that iced hot chocolate OMG it's the best" etc.

Good thing I didn't have 77portapottieflushes.

I couldn't even finish one. That's saying a lot.

elitism, privacy, djs, blogs and "giving away stuff"

what a can of worms you opened there. Didn't I say something about not wanting to talk about music on ILX? I'm just here to talk about places like Upi Jaya, the Indonesian resteraunt I visited tonight.

plus, we've got geir on ilm anyway. he covers all your bases:

My DJ set would have consisted of 80s synthpop/new romantics, 80s Europop and 80s Italo Disco. The only dance music worth listening to. :)

I almost responded to that, make some kind of narrative from James Brown to Italo Disco, but I figured it wasn't worth it.

Ooh Thurs is tempting!

Joe Jackson-Stepping Out from Night and Day

YES!!!

it's true.

please spread the word about thursday. I've never been to 205, I know it's a pretty trendy place these days and people go and dance on weeknights, but I don't get out so often and haven't been to the type of place where people actually dance on weeknights in ages, so it's hard for me to believe!

I would dance on a weeknight...

I will def. go to at least one of these but not sure which one yet

buy one get one free

I don't know what that means

only one allows dancing
