I generally find those Tims Listening Parties irritating (they have a habit of taking over one's timeline) but these are wonderful insights into an amazing album.
This stuff seems to be getting a lot of traction in non-music-nerd settings, at least in my neighbourhood? Twice in the past few days, I've had to go by ~trouble spots for environmental sound~ (a builders' site on my road where they serenade the whole street with their music choices; an incredibly loud pumping exercise class that meets on top of the Common) and kind of bracing myself for the sensory onslaught and how bad it is going to be...
...and both spaces have beeen playing Roisin Murphy tracks the last times I have walked by? Which has been a really pleasant surprise when it's turned into music?

I've only gotten to the end of this once because I keep playing the first three tracks over and over

Hairless Toys finally clicked for me today. It was always my least favorite of her albums but today it sounds really damn good

Haven't followed Murphy closely but Narcissus > Jealousy bowled me over
― Indexed, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 15:53 (three years ago) link
I see now Narcissus was a 2019 single and that they pushed the strings to the intro (to get this onto dancefloors?). Brilliant track.
― Indexed, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 16:02 (three years ago) link
yes. i managed to play narcissus at the right moment in a set and it was all hands in the air.

i'm increasingly of the opinion that the maurice fulton collabs are easily the best things she's done and that i want to like her 2020 more than i actually do (sorry to be that guy itt).
― ffolkes (map), Monday, 21 December 2020 18:56 (three years ago) link
that's where I'm at too. I love her as a popstar personality but I wish she'd make another "Plaything" or "Let Me Know"

I wonder how cool Murphy's golden dove badge was before Lady Gaga ripped it off?
― Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Thursday, 21 January 2021 04:06 (three years ago) link
There was a big compare/contrast blog post circa 2009, showing various Roisin fits and later Gaga ones.

i'm trying to find out who played the piano on the cosmodelica remix of murphy's law.
i'm just finding out that cosmodelica is one colleen murphy, who has what looks like a high-profile radio show. i wonder if she played it. anyone know?

almost certainly Darren Morris

remix album crooked machine out in a few weeks.
dangit now I have to retitle my compilation of the 20-50 minutes per single of crooked mixes
(nb Crooked Man topped 50min of remixes on his own 2016 single Happiness, including a 14-minute "24-inch" version that plays like a classic disco arrangement with natural builds and peaks) BTW there was a third part to those "live, up a tree in Ibiza" videos, uploaded a week later:

"Crooken Machine" is actually titled "Crooken Madame" so that would be SHELLFISH MADEMOISELLE

so, these are all brand new, not previous mixes/versions?
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Wednesday, 7 April 2021 19:46 (three years ago) link
ta josh!
none of these have the same names as previously-released mixes, and it's very on-brand for Parrot to remix the entire album again.
Narcissus with the RTE concert orchestra
She managed another couple of live TV appearances between lockdowns last year too.
Murphy's Law on the Graham Norton Show:

i was kinda underwhelmed by the album after how much i liked "assimilation". certainly not bad or anything just not anything to be excited by either

thanks to the whole st. vincent stuff I had a dream I did an absolutely awful interview with her in which I screwed up to an extent that there was open hostility

Xpost: ditto “assimilation” was even better than the album version but the rest of the remixes leave me lukewarm. I still think it’s a great remix album but I wouldn’t play it over the original.
