I forgot the asparagus tips.

indie boy

This is how I'm going to lose all my ILM friends - because they can't read:

indie-looking boy

I'd like the fridge contents though before we start fighting.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I read it as "indie-looking boy" ok. I just thought I'd deliberately misrepresent you.

Not that there's much difference between the two in most people's eyes. You look indie = you are indie = cut copy are indie.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I just thought I'd deliberately misrepresent you.

Yeah, there's a novelty!

PS. You = indie.

― Deerninja B4rim4, Plus-Tech Whizz Kid (Barima), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:20 (nineteen years ago) link

That's not important. Are they indie hipsters?

― Stupornaut (natepatrin), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:21 (nineteen years ago) link

If I am indie then so is Dan Whitford. I'm fine with that. I don't think I'd ever make an indie song as bad as 'The Twilight' though.

live tonite at tribeca w/ wolfmother

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Cut Copy are indie, at least they are live. Good though. But they should take Cassius on the road to immediately remix the music as they perform it.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:03 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm very excited to see them in LA next week.

Tim, have you been to Brains? They canceled the L.A. one a while ago, and I'm very jealous.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:07 (nineteen years ago) link

"Tim, have you been to Brains? They canceled the L.A. one a while ago, and I'm very jealous."

??? I don't understand.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:12 (nineteen years ago) link

Tim, while other people have your attention, and we're talking abt indie dance, have you heard the out hud album? i have a feeling you'd like at least some of it.

― jermaine (jnoble), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Tim, the Avalanches wild soca DJ party tour they did last month in Australia??? Maybe it was when you were in Erp?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

0h yeah they used to do this quite a bit and I always always missed it! It was at St Jeromes - a cafe/bar that opened about a year ago and went from totally chic and hip and secret to massively overexposed and overcrowded within about four months (this is a particularly Melbourne syndrome), so I'm not sure if they'll do any more.

I always wanted to go but somehow it never worked out.

Re: Out Hud, I haven't heard it. Generally speaking I'm like an angel of death that passes over the doors of indie-dance until someone draws my attention specifically to a particular example.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Tim, I really like the new Out Hud, it's indie dance but without the hangups (i.e. it doesn't sound like they're saying "we're a real band" at all). It sounds to me like a house-ified Tom Tom Club. I find it far more "danceable" than most DFA stuff. Check out "It's For You" and "One Life to Leave."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Will do!

I think there's still a lot of scope for those sorts of acts to venture out further beyond The Rapture's "I Need Your Love". Although maybe that's what remixes are for, I dunno.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 23:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm hoping that they all venture out further a la New Order in the mid-80s!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 01:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Well yeah exactly. But hey download DJ Xii's mix! It's all like that!

Spencer, I saw Brains and Cut Copy togehter in Sydney and CC was def. the highlight.

shit i forgot to go tonite.

They're playing an instore in NY later this month, Phil!

― BARMS, Wednesday, 16 March 2005 09:08 (nineteen years ago) link

ugh. i heard the cutcopy/wolfmother party at tribeca last nite was "really really really fun.. and trashy". that coming from my jaded hipster friends, it must have been pretty damn good. damn.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 19:34 (nineteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

so there's talk that their last lp is DSICOVERY esque. is this true?

― piscesboy, Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago) link

No. I made it up and now it's gone around the internet. Me am funneee.

― BARMS, Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:28 (nineteen years ago) link

well the nme is saying it now.

― piscesboy, Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Is there a review? What exactly does the piece or short copy or whatever say?

― BARMS, Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:38 (nineteen years ago) link

"On ILM a rather handsome fellow by the name of Barima drew prescient comparisons to Daft Punk's 'Discovery'. Obviously we at the NME wouldn't know about that sort of thing but we think B is hella cute though a scag addiction wouldn't go amiss."

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 31 March 2005 12:50 (nineteen years ago) link

I've kissed a man, though...maybe? Perhaps licked a face or two, I dunno.

― BARMS, Thursday, 31 March 2005 13:45 (nineteen years ago) link

it's just a great big beer-fuelled haze

― Sven Basted (blueski), Thursday, 31 March 2005 14:12 (nineteen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

they were very very good tonight! melbourne indie kids in "actually dancing for once" shockah!! apart from some squally feedback bits here and there, I think they're a bit less indie-sounding now that they're a trio. (Dan only pulled the guitar on for a track here and there.)

that said, the support set from Pnau (who have a live drummer now) might've just shaded them.

― haitch (haitch), Saturday, 23 April 2005 19:01 (nineteen years ago) link

new Pnau kit-type-drummer or the old bongo/percussionist brought back?

― kit brash (kit brash), Saturday, 23 April 2005 23:12 (nineteen years ago) link

the new guy had a full kit, yes. this was no weaksauce "afro-cuban" bongo thing!

― haitch (haitch), Sunday, 24 April 2005 01:06 (nineteen years ago) link

i wasn't so into pnau.
started off nice, but just got too heavy and loud and i was selling merch and people were asking for earplugs.

cut copy were fantastic.

― glenny g2003 (glenny g2003), Sunday, 24 April 2005 05:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I kinda wish Pnau would turn to the sound of their first album in its initial incarnation - the most lush phased house ever.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Sunday, 24 April 2005 21:54 (nineteen years ago) link

i totally agree, i havent enjoyed anything they've done nearly as much as sambanova since then

― glenny g2003 (glenny g2003), Sunday, 24 April 2005 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

what about the revised edition of Sambanova or the re-revised edition of Sambanova ha ha er

(glumly regrets not buying the original Peking Duck sample-packed issue when he had the chance)

― kit brash (kit brash), Monday, 25 April 2005 01:45 (nineteen years ago) link

one month passes...

Is it true that they've got a new album coming out soon? Or is it just (another?) re-release of 'Bright Like Neon Love'?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

That's the UK release of Bright Like Neon Love. Haven't heard anything about new material.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 01:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I heard the Virgin Megastore on Tottenham Ct Rd in London playing 'Saturdays' and I was super elated.

CC are playing Trash on Monday, so I have to revive the London dancing thread on ILE now.

― BARMS, Tuesday, 21 June 2005 07:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Holy. Shit.

Gear!, jaymc, gem: I've been listening to Cut Copy recently, and... Jesus Christ you guys are SO RIGHT ON. This band -- amazing. Wonderful. Beautiful. Not enough accolades could I give for this wonderful, wonderful band. Bright Like Neon Love is an album's worth of lovely, swooshy, groove-y musical comfort food, and I am wolfing it all down. This band. My GOD. I'm really shocked to hear this album's about a year old (!) and that this band's been a going concern for three full years (!!) -- in a fair and just world this would be the very beginning of this band's surge in popularity, to the point where they will sell out arenas in a couple of years.

Damn. Cut Copy are GOOD.

it's just one guy, I think, not a band! that's what I've heard, I don't know much about 'em/'im

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 01:00 (eighteen years ago) link

why is the french house sound getting so big with indie kids? so sick of the endless following, when do we get electrohouse album acts that suck, 2009???

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 01:10 (eighteen years ago) link

they're good songs ronan

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 01:11 (eighteen years ago) link

nothing on the cut copy album (or the mylo album) or any other indie french house record is in the same league as the second wave french house it is not just ripping off but absolutely gutting, ie archigram, braxe, together etc.

fact. I am fairly convinced if I actually made a cd-r for the indie kids I know who are all about mylo they would like it more, this isn't one of these "x is ripping off y" things where x is actually far poppier and more accessible, it's just crappily produced versions of the y, in this instance.

zdar makes the cut copy record tolerable, I'm fairly sure the few good tunes on it wouldn't exist without him but even still, the alan braxe retrospective thing is ten times better, but presumably vocals and whining a good album make.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 01:16 (eighteen years ago) link

you don't even have to make a cd-r. just put together a list or whatever for downloading purposes.

(note: i don't doubt what you say, i just wanna hear what you come up with.)

― john'n'chicago, Wednesday, 29 June 2005 01:23 (eighteen years ago) link

alan braxe-love lost
bangalter/falcon-together
mateo-fat phaze
we in music-now that the love has gone (les rythmes digitales mix)
shakedown-at night (alan braxe remix) or the original
the paradise-in love with you
archigram-carnival (or doggystyle)
lacquer-behind
linus loves-the terrace
bangalter/falcon-together

even the assertions upthread that Cut Copy are superior to Phoenix just seem absurd, how can they be superior at doing the same thing about 5 years later on anything other than a really minor personal level?

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 01:27 (eighteen years ago) link

am i the only one that finds bright like neon love colossally overrated? the guy can't sing!
