idjut boys: s/d

let me know if you want a copy of "the u-star daze", gaz.

idjut boys are like the progenitors of the revival style that chicken lips is currently getting props for. (i know, it's weird to say that someone's a progenitor of a revival style)

i think i'm going through some weird phase. i just listened to akwaaba and really liked it.

hello vahid!

'Dave's not here!'

hahaha ... like food and shelter or music??

"beatin' on dave" isn't just funny, it's one of the fucking heaviest deep house tracks ever.

everyone who is feeling the idjuts go to slsk and get dj harvey's "sarcastic disco" mix. he did it as a promo for an LA fashion label. it's great. while you're there pick up the "maddog chronicles" mix he did for freshjive to promote their tony alva documentary. it's more rock than disco but it hits that 70s stoner boogie vibe perfectly.

i wish maurice fulton was still rocking this style instead of noo-vaw no-wave nonsense. mutsumi = yoko.

(ok just kidding i love late lennon and i'm sympathetic but MU sort of blows compared to boof! or ladyvipb or even stress...)

hey! you owe me an idjut boys disc vahid.

Also, this mix is just so up her street.

mullygrubber, did i give you Plantlife cd? their cd has really been growing on me. my wife was listening to and loving it, but she thought it was from the 70s until the monie love sample came in mid album.

i'm not feeling the new mix at all, i must say.

xpost: wait, what?

what's up with PHANTOM SLASHER and MAJOR SWELLINGS?

i just picked up phantom slasher's "PUDDLE & SPOUT" lp for $5 and i really like it! is this an idjut boys side project? is it dj harvey? somebody else entirely?

how about major swellings? is that any good? is major swellings related to lindstrom / prins thomas?

side note: i had a hell of a weekend! i picked up

phantom slasher - puddle & spout
faze action - plans & designs
akwaaba - too shiny
jhelisa - galactica rush
chateau flight - puzzle
i:cube - 3
all of the kelley polar EPs
dj food - jazz brakes 5

it is all bongos and jazz beards over here.

a few weeks ago i got their "MORE OR LESS" mix from the year 2000, on u-star, from tower's clearance bin, and i'm just now listening to it!

it's missing the first CD but who fuckin cares, my lord!

it sounds like ... it sounds like ... uh ... a cross between faze action and motorbass??

feedbacks appreciated

the last mix is just embarrassing ... i got distracted and suddenly realized the record had run out ... so i threw on the next one but forgot that i still had the reverb turned all the way up and the pitch turned down from "oochie coochie"

i should go back with audacity or something and throw in a sound effect or something to cover up the silence

also got completely carried away with the delay on "sweet gerry dynamite", hope nobody gets a headache

what is original for this: phantom slasher - i got my love

i know it, but since they cut most of vocals i'm lost

have people already trainspotted most of these? somewhere on ILM? should we if not?

so using my fantastic detective skills (been watching the wire a lot lately) and my impressive knowledge of music, i've come up w/this

GRUBBLE

Lasagne For 10 - Chilly "For Your Love"
Size Doesn't Matter - "Whole Lotta Love" (sounds like tina turner)
Eat Them Jeans
Staying Noid - Richard Ace "Stayin' Alive" (??)
Backwards Is The Best Way Forward. Baby
Satchell On My Door Step - Roxy Music "The Main Thing"
Your Wistful Sigh
Love Ranger

KEY TO THE TRIPOD

Oxymoron - some weird mashup of "genius of love" and "fly like an eagle"
Poxymoron - Boys Town Gang "You're The One"
Tripod - Warp 9 "Nunk"
Le Cock Noir
Blow Me Slow - Hot RS "Slow Blow"
Noid Life - Spandau Ballet "Lifeline"
Nicoteen Five Sinners "Magic"
Una Bella Donna - Junior Byron "Woman"
Tent Pole
Bethlehem
I Got My Love (i NEED to know what this one is. it's killing me)
Sax & Violence - Leroy Hutson "Love The Feeling"
Going Greek - Demis Roussos "I Dig You"

Tent Pole - Class Action "Weekend"

wait damn these shifty titles i think it's Tripod that's "Weekend" actually

Tripod AKA Skull Volley

Size Doesn't Matter - definitely Tina Turner

Eat Them Jeans - Peter Tosh "Buk-In-Hamm Palace"

I Got My Love - Front Page "You Got My Love" (also edited as "You Got Love Song" on c.o.m.b.i.)

did anybody like my miiiiiiiiix???????

i thought major swellings was just prins thomas?

d/ling mix now.

Staying Noid - Richard Ace "Stayin' Alive" (??)

is this the same track sampled for jess & crabbe's "in your eer"? bassline sounds identical..

anybody know the original for "sheen" off the phantom slasher "puddle & spout" CD? sounds like something off CTI maybe??

dan & conrad never apologize for reverb & delay

seriously, criticizing idjut boys for their use of echo is in a way like criticizing hendrix's use of fuzz or zapp's use of talkbox

thanks to the recent horse meat disco comp, we now know "furry whiplash" is a re-edit of "disco jam" by eddie drennon

http://www.factmag.com/2012/03/15/after-20-years-in-the-game-the-idjut-boys-release-their-debut-album

yay!

WTF?

they must mean "first LP of original exclusive productions"

because by my count they've released

noid long player
life: the shoeing you deserve
puddle & spout
gruble
key to the tripod
desire lines

and

more or less / the u-star daze

which admittedly is an early "greatest hits" comp and mix

so which would be the best place to start?

U-Star Daze.

i've got that one, it is..... jam after jam

“What we’ve tried to do is make an LP, four tracks a side on vinyl. You stick it on your stereo, have a cup of coffee and read the paper. When it’s finished you stick the other side on. So we’ve made an LP in the traditional way.”

<3

wasn't too impressed with "One For Kenny" til that piano break came in, then it was pretty great. very much looking forward to drinking coffee and reading the paper to this.

meanderthals was my soundtrack for that on a lot of sunny weekend mornings last year

my favorites is actually "life: the shoeing you deserve"

"more or less" is a 2cd comp w/ a mixed 2nd disc, that mixed 2nd disc was re-released in the US as "the u-star daze"

i would go with any of those, and then move on to puddle & spout, gruble, etc etc which tbf are basically i guess just elaborate re-edit comps

second Meanderthals, sublime balearic dub bliss.

Since those early albums seem impossible to find at a reasonable price, I've got stuck into Press Play and Night Dubbin. Really enjoying the track selection on Press Play, but I feel like as a mix it kinda crashes with the cover of Word Up and doesn't really get itself back on track, like the section from there to the end should have been at the start to warm up instead. Night Dubbin is great though, I love the sense of dark queasiness hanging over it, and both mixes are so impressive with the way they eschew traditional beat-matching yet putting together transitions that seem to flow naturally.

not sure if this URL is going to work:

Idjuts mix disc on the first Claremont 56 compilation!

oh awwwesome.

i am not really loving cellar door :-/

is that a good label? i didn't get into the first smith & mudd album, it had that same-y mush-y vibe that a lot of rong releases seem to have.

but maybe i'm just not listening close enough

wish they continued w/ their droid series

compile already

body so jelly-ish

http://www.catapult.co.uk/resources/cache/resize_box_it_-resources-product-images-28077-DroidThreejpg.350x350.jpg

dancefloors gone all wobbly

c56 is pretty much my favorite label, but I'm horribly biased.

i am feeling cellar door!

im not :-/

i have just listened to it twice and enjoyed it both times

think i've abandoned using non-basic words to describe instrumental music though, oh well

just to say again, probably, but Smokin' Balls is a fantastic track.

oochie coochie / ten minutes of lasagna are my enduring faves
