BEARDO DISCO (finally fixed for vahid) - not idjuts / lindstrom - harvey, rub'n'tug, map of africa

LA people please try and check out Christine Renee. No beard, but she knows how to rock a party.

yeah, what's her deal? i get emails from her. she musta taken my email from the blackdisco/lovefingers list or something?

I used to DJ Christine's parties at the Coral Room. Really nice person.

She was out here last weekend. She mentioned you, Dan!

She's the real deal. Great DJ, lovely lady.

oh stop teasing.

I may have a gig in SF next weekend. Still hoping to get something mid-week in LA.

let us LAxors know if youre coming to the city of angels, dan!

middle of next week I think but haven't pinned down any kinds of DJ gigs. I did buy the book We've Got the Neutron Bomb and am making a mix CD of The Doors, X, GnR, Love, Mamas and Papas, Beach Boys and the Byrds.

shit im going to be home in NJ. maybe next time.

dont forget the germs and WAR

the guys at aquarius really are clueless when it comes to anything dealing w/hip hop and electronic music unless it sounds like aphex twin or company flow.

LINDSTROM It's A Feedelity Affair (Smalltown Supersound) cd 15.98
Beardo Disco? That's a term we have heard bandied about lately when referring to the new wave of mutated house/electroclash/indie dance-rock sounds of acts like Ratatat, Justice, and Norwegian duo Lindstrom and Prins Thomas. Whatever it means, we've been digging it a lot lately. Here Hans-Peter Lindstrom has parted ways with his former collaborator and given us a compilation of solo 12" singles from the Feedelity label released between 2003 and 2006. Arranging with maximal effect without overdoing it, Lindstrom takes cues from Italo Disco, Morodor electro, and Loft-era party mixes to give us a set that will keep us bopping through the holidays. Recommended!

hahaha, christ.

hey, for those who own 'it's a feedelity affair': is the version of 'the contemporary fix' on there the version with the banjo and the acid-y breakdown, or the 'serous syntoms' mix?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I AM BEARDO LIEK JUSTICE. I WILL PLAY YOU MY ELECTROCLASHES NOW.

haitch: The version on my (CD) copy is the Serious Syntoms mix.

that's a shame, the other one is way better!

uh, not totally on topic but the edit of the talking heads song here is porbably of interest to people :D

haitch: The version on my (CD) copy is the Serious Syntoms mix.

are you sure? there's no mention of 'serious syntoms' on my cd and plenty of banjo..

I'm just comparing it to the Serious Syntoms mix on itunes and, since itunes will switch track names on 12" releases distressingly often, Beatport- it matches on both. Listening to the original, it's much more banjo-y- the banjo part in the Serious Syntoms version is manipulated somehow to sound much more clear and metallic, with none of the drone quality of a banjo. I'm going to have to check out the original in full now, I think I may like it better...

And as far as it not mentioning that on the CD packaging, that is annoying (though more than made up for by the Wong Kar-Wai thing). But then again it kind of fits in with the release; for instance "Further Into the Future" is a Prins Thomas co-production (indeed, the b-side of the 12" is "Run" as featured on the L&PT album), "Arp She Said" was released as Six Cups of Rebel, etc. It's maddening for someone as anal about these things as I am.

not "with none of," should be "with less of." There's still some, just not as prevalent.

Actually, does anyone know what happened to the "Contemporary Fix" rerelease? There was supposed to be a CD-EP and 12" release out in early August with remixes from Bjorn Torske and EYE.

i didn't know about an EYE mix! the other one cropped up in the L+PT essential mix though, really deep, heavy take on it.

It's maddening for someone as anal about these things as I am.

have you gotten to The Studio - West Coast yet?

LOS ANGELES PEOPLE: DEVELOPING!

http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/wp/original/crime/siren.gifGARTH & JENO: BACK2BACK HOLLYWOOD & OC THIS MON & TUES http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/wp/original/crime/siren.gif

Garth & Jeno's one way trip to the other...

<< BACK2BACK >>

taking the on the road for the first time... down south for 2 nights of musical mayhem.

Mon 13th: MONDAY NIGHT SOCIAL @ NACIONAL,
1645 WILCOX HOLLYWOOD
(10-2)

Tues 14th: FOCUS @ TAPAS,
4253 MARTINGALE WAY NEWPORT BEACH
(9:30-1:30)

we'll be playing all night at both parties in an effort to represent the true spirit of our Back2Back parties in San Francisco, now 2 years strong.

expect a full spectrum of sounds... cosmic rock, dub disco & classic house.

join us. good times ahead!

have you gotten to The Studio - West Coast yet?

No, I mean to as soon as possible though. I'd been aware of them for a while from the Prins Thomas mix of "Life's a Beach!" and was driving myself crazy trying to find the Yearbook 1 CD. As far as confusion goes, though, very few things have driven me up the wall quite as much as Future Sound of London's Dead Cities. 15 songs! 13 tracks! WHY DO YOU TORMENT ME, SILLY CONCEPT ALBUM, WHY

You're right about the C.Fix version on the compilation (just heard the original on smalltownsupersound's myspace) - not crediting the remix is pretty lame, indeed. Both versions are great though. There's another version (disco) on Lindstrom's myspace, using "Do ya think I'm sexy?"..

Does anyone have the Crue-L records singles comp?

New Woolfy may be a little too smooth and clean to be beardo but its fucking great.

Vahid - how does it feel to know you may have coined a dance music subgenre term?

i was wondering that this morning. was this the first place that term was used? it's kinda everywhere now.

so the DJs in the chillout area of APT last friday were doing a pretty damn beardo set, very good and nice to relax to.

here is my question: anyone have a copy of Suzy Q's "Tonight" that they can up for me? that track was a standout of the evening, and i must be able to listen to it repeatedly.

That "Beard Science" project has a myspace:

and look who's in thier top friends:

I don't think I used the term "beardo" but was often referring to "beard" type music when making the analogy that started this discussion, well before I posted that comment vahid quoted above.

This looks interesting, if maybe a bit opportunistic:

Listening to this now. Pretty good, although definitely a Greatest Hits and not a beardy digger affair.

I really liked Opus Alienum. Would like to hear more like that.

Coincidentally, I have a beard.

it looks like the djhistory mafia is the crew behind that Beard Science thing:

This video makes me very nostalgic. Sure I was only one year old when this was released, but that eagle flying in front of video footage of NYC just does something to me.
