while L&PT and beardo threads abound, this audacious album statement really deserves its own thread. i saw Lindstrøm DJ the album during SXSW, but nighttime there doesn't quite lend itself to critical faculties (much less remembrance of details like where you parked or how many Shiners downed or what was in that joint). i recall it being much like an extension of his previous DJ affair, epic and expansive yet taking it too far out at the breakdown and losing dancefloor momentum resolutely.
but as an album, it's a sweet suite, the logical extension of wishing that "Supernature" and "Oxygene" were the same song and that it took up a full album side. jokingly, i told a friend that this is the "Ys of Disco" but in retrospect it's the polar opposite of Ys. whereas i found Ys to be stiff, mannered, and decidedly cool, Where I Go is infused with some serious warmth and good vibes. a shame it's out at the end of summer rather than soundtracking it.

pet peeve--writers who do the following:
- they quote something clever an unnamed "friend" said - they quote themselves saying something clever to an unnamed "friend" - they quote something clever they overheard from an anonymous fellow audience member
all of the above occur as they're leaving the theater or venue

there's a big *big* world of context out there that's shaped how any number of acts are received, and Radiohead's a stellar example of one such act.
While I wouldn't argue that context plays no role at all, I guess I do feel pretty absolutely that there's no context in the world that could get me to enjoy or not enjoy the taste of a meal.
And thus with Radiohead, and thus with music in general.
My enjoyment of particular chord progressions and textures, etc. is far too visceral for that.

Flobots "No Handlebars"
Would the ting tings count as rock? If so their two singles 'shut up and let me go' and 'great dj' have been pretty big here in Spain and they're insanely catchy.

It's hard to write anything too soon about them because it takes so many listens for the layers, details and surprises to reveal themselves. My third listen on headphones on a train ride is what put it over the top for me. After finishing it I was wobbly with vertigo. It felt like the songs corresponded with the neighborhoods that whizzed by, each packed with years of memories and emotions. It's like traveling in an unfamiliar country with a lover, having an intense conversation, getting drunk, arguing, and ending the night at 3 a.m. exhausted from intense make-up sex.

But am I the only person who thinks it's amazing that Norman Cook was in The Housemartins (and Beats International; and The Mighty Dub Katz; and...) before he was Fatboy Slim? Even when "The Rockafeller Skank" hit, no one seemed to think it was a big deal.

I apologize for the brief answer before, but you have to consider Pop music in 2008 is too far away from what pop music was in the 60's. I just don't see Harpsichordes working on pop nowadays, perhaps in some sort of ironic hip-hop summer hit but I really don't see it working as a common tool in the studio.

But whatever the soundtrack, both songs possess a sexual subterfuge exemplified by a line in the 1996 movie Independence Day: “This could be our last night on Earth. You don’t want to die a virgin, do you?”

Do you know I heard a rap song that sampled the first guitar part of "This Charming Man" on this airplane I was on today...it was in someone's headphones. It tortured me to hear the first part of Marr's guitar line over and over and over against my will and without being able to hear the SECOND part and then some asshole rapped over it. Disgusting. What a way to sample a song and ruin the whole fucking thing.
