As far as I know it's not mutual; Gottsching got pissy about being cited as an influence and about the resemblance between the covers of 45:33 and E2-E4. I dunno, I love Gottsching but it's kind of hard to take his side here.

that site has gotta be a joke, right? i mean:

23 years after its first release, the famous "E2-E4" design exists not only on CD and LP covers, but is sold worldwide on all kinds of merchandising such as bags, jackets, shirts, towels and coffee mugs - in several color variations, but always with light and dark squares just like on a chessboard (the title of Manuel Goettsching's album "E2-E4" is a reference to one of the most popular opening moves in chess)

c'mon now...

jermainetwo, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 08:12 (sixteen years ago) link

it is a chess move.

g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 09:04 (sixteen years ago) link

That press release is dated April 1, 2007.

g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 09:10 (sixteen years ago) link

Thas ashra press statement is so completely idiotic. It's freaking hommage and Gottshing is going to sell a lot more records thanks to this.

dan selzer, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 11:36 (sixteen years ago) link

agreed, but it was probably an april fools joke.

NOT FUNNY.

g®▲Ðұ, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link

the japanese seem to be particularly e2-e4 crazy. last time i was there i saw all sorts of e2-e4 merchandise. the scarves were particularly popular.

someone write a press release from the makers of chess & checker boards telling dude to step off his high horse. (unless it is a joke)

jaxon, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 17:29 (sixteen years ago) link

does anyone remember when andreas vollenweider was pretty much universally loathed?

sure, I do. but on the other hand (correct me if I'm wrong) the dude has like a hundred records and only two or three of them are godd ... right? or have I been passing up tons of great stuff at the thrift stores?

I got that Mock & Toof rvng record. the Wire edit is kind of useless imo but the other two are great, esp. the southern boogie rock space jam. track 3 is like afro-beat but I don't know the original of that one either.

dmr, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:37 (sixteen years ago) link

two or three of them are good, that is

dmr, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:37 (sixteen years ago) link

re the checkerboard beef, nike used the checkerboard back when in their logos. i can't find a pic, but my tennis shoes circa '85 or so had the board on the tongue. so...

andrew m., Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:03 (sixteen years ago) link

fuck nike, gottsching needs to go after VANS!

BATTAGS, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

i agree with dmr on mock and toof 12".

i just ordered their new 12" on Mule Music: online shop samples sounded pretty good.

alexander robotnick friday in SF (not really beardo but not sure where else to put it)

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 22:01 (sixteen years ago) link

The map of Africa album is out and it is fantastic.

It was described somehwere as "Dire Straights meets Sting" which not totally wrong if you include Zappa and Blueshammer into that mix.

The Macallan 18 Year, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link

"Black Skin Blue Eyed Boys" and "Bone" are red hottt

The Macallan 18 Year, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:05 (sixteen years ago) link

'breakwind' by lee douglas coming soon on wurst edits is surely thee beardo freak out tune of the year.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 18:12 (sixteen years ago) link

is it an edit of Mike Theodore Orchestra - Cosmic Wind ? I think I heard it on beats in space when he was on.

dmr, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link

i wasn't sure what i was gonna think about the Map of Africa album. most of the songs i'd heard were on the pub-rockier side (Thin Lizzy, Pato). but after the first 3 or 4 songs, it gets into that smoothed out, balearic rock style that i was hoping for and i think it's pretty rad.

jaxon, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 18:51 (sixteen years ago) link

it is indeed dmr.

x post

stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 19:04 (sixteen years ago) link

the most annoying thing about the map of africa album is that it's pressed so quietly.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 19:07 (sixteen years ago) link

TRU

g®▲đұ, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link

g®▲đұ, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

mike b, do you guys have A Mountain of One releases at amoeba? they're ridiculously absent from soulseek.

jaxon, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 19:45 (sixteen years ago) link

we've got EP2 but not the first one. i got them both from o!nk...

i think if 16-year-old me found me enjoying this map of africa record as much as i am he'd disown me

strongohulkington, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link

haha. omg (The Internet)

i was joking w/my friend before i started my site that i wanted it to be sorta like bumrocks and lovefingers and i was gonna call it BumFingers

jaxon, Thursday, 24 May 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link

jaxon, Thursday, 24 May 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link

speaking of bumrocks. Lindstrom is guest hosting it for a week.

I think my favorite track on Map of Africa is "Freaky Ways" (and Dirty Lovin' but I heard that a long time ago)

some of the lyrics are pretty cringeworthy .... I guess that's what they were "going for" at times but my wife laughed out loud at the title track

gonna make a map of africa
all in your pretty head, babe
gonna make a map of africa
as I already said, babe

dmr, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 23:25 (sixteen years ago) link

oh and whoever talked about Chilly's For Your Love (selzer I think) big-time THANKS, I found it over the weekend and it's awesome

dmr, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 23:28 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah but "map of africa" (the song) is yoga flame for all time just for gonna find out where your delta lies

also make sure you get "for your love (suite)", it's waaaaaay better than the 4-minute version.

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 29 May 2007 23:30 (sixteen years ago) link

I got some german comp. lp that has the 9-minute version

dmr, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link

i think i already posted this here, but:

a friend asked harvey what "map of africa" meant. he said it was "the wet spot left on the mattress after lovemaking."

dmr - have u heard the idjuts edit of "for your love" on the phantom slasher LP?

smokin.

g®▲đұ, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 01:34 (sixteen years ago) link

i haven't - any chance you could up an' email me that?

BleepBot, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 02:19 (sixteen years ago) link

nope I haven't heard phantom slasher

dmr, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 02:27 (sixteen years ago) link

another key line from Get Outta Bed:

OH, BLESS MY SOUL
BLESS MY MUTHAFUKIN ASSHOLELELELLOL

dmr, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 02:28 (sixteen years ago) link

bleep & dmr:

check leo thread. i tried to rip the whole thing, but a few tracks on my copy skip :(((( maybe v4hid has a decent version?

g®▲đұ, Wednesday, 30 May 2007 06:17 (sixteen years ago) link

^^^whole thing meaning whole PS LP.
