'splain this one to me: Renegade Soundwave

His shitty rapping actually helps this line, makes it more unexpected. "Soundclash" is indeed v good.

Soundclash still the best record ever.

I wish I still had my copy of "Thunder II". I can't remember which b-side it was, but one of them was extreme dubby fantasticness.

FYI: I was thinking of "Manphibian" here

Manphibian and Mash-Up are both awesome. A great ep.

recently read the Murder Music was originally a Rema Rema song. (Or Mass?) Makes sense. I would kill to hear an original recording of it if there ever was one.

I am tempted to nominate these guys in the hip-hop poll

I purchased an album of theirs because Pop Will Eat Itself listed them as something they dug on "Can You Dig It."

I didn't.

you should try again, and then keep trying until you love them

RSW >>> PWEI

especially as PWEI went on; the Poppies had 2 albums that were as consistently good as the RSW material but they had to ramp up to it and they fell off relatively quickly after they hit their stride

This is the Day... and Cure For Sanity are amazing tho

I remember jjj picked up the "Biting My Nails" single as a result of "Can U Dig It?" and by the time we got to "Kray Twins" we both knew RSW fucking owned

PWEI>>>Ciccone Youth

?

just comparing the poppies to people they reference in Can U DIg It?

Ohh.

"Murder Music" is one of the greatest songs ever recorded

wait djp did you say upthread that you dont have a copy of thunder II anymore

pretty sure i do. i know i have that thinline cd maxisingle w/biting my nails and cocaine sex on it

and kray twins! apparently i have the one that enigma put out with 2 mixes of biting my nails, although iirc its just a vocal and an instrumental club mix so prob no great rarity there

i mean, it's kind of blowing my mind that other went through exactly the same folly of youth shit. and it wasn't an "album" i bought, it was exactly that thin-case maxi single. eventually came to like one of the songs, think it was the "biting nails" club dub.

^ this one

music > ac/dc > run-DMC > riffs > disco sound > "leader of the pack" > spinderella > "hit the north" > "into the groove(y) > "da doo ron ron" > renegade soundwave

listening back, i love the music on all three tracks, but hate the vocalist, no exceptions

enjoying this, but it seems more pop than club

The 12 with biting backed by kray twins and cocaine sex was my first purchase after soundclash I think. Bought it at sam goody in a nj mall.

i do still have thunder II and in dub. yay not loaning out cds like i used to!

Me = jealous @ u

I was about to post the playlist of my 2 CD set of RSW favorites with a "pop" cd and a "dance" cd but then I realized I did it already 6 years ago.

man listening through all of this and cocaine sex is just so much better than the title would lead you to think - i think this might be my favorite so far

whoa this biting my nails (sound system plays a renegade tune) remix on thunder II is kind of awesome

Ha, this is almost verbatim what you told me when you first bought this.

Awesome to see RSW get some love on the board. I love em. A friend of mine wrote them a long and analytical fan letter back in the day, and they wrote a long letter back that began, "Dear Daniel, Dance music has been with us since the dawn of time."

written by her husband Papa John Philips I think.

I had no idea. Awesome.

hang on. just watched that network clip.
they diss PWEI !
yet clearly they went on to change their minds when they got the offer to remix them later on.
[what a great chart : tackhead/pwei/woodentops/coldcut .. ]
and as per broom, i too had no idea biting .. was a cover.

double wow!

danny and gary were well moody. good hats though.

i'd forgotten that "cocaine sex" was promoed as "cooking sex". ha!

i also had no idea that "biting my nails" was a cover. the original is great! a little like a proto cristina.

I have a 7" on Rhythm King stamped "Cooking Sex". I always assumed that was the case but this is the first confirmation I've had that it was for real.

Reminds me of the recent run of SNL skits where they say something that's not dirty but make it sound dirty in context. Like the TV ads for "Sofa King". "Our prices are Sofa King cheap" etc. Similarly the earlier skit about "Cork Soakers" in a winery, where they soak the cork before bottling, and the old lady with no teeth is the best "cork soaker".

wait ppl didn't know "Biting My Nails" was a cover?

so that means you probably haven't seen... THIS:
