Herm said:I haven't heard anything other than the singles, but my guess is, with most of the songs being 7-8 minutes long (as I've read), this album will live on through numerous radio- and club-friendly remixes scattered throughout Soundcloudland, …

coolchris said:I have watched this nearly 500 times. Never fails to put me in a good mood. That track kills in the club too. I think somebody might have done one of those smack-house/slo-mo-disco re-edits of it as well. I seem to remember hear…

First impressions; it's kinda boring. Too many of the songs seem like weak or half-decent ideas stretched out for far too long. There's a serious shortage of memorable hooks, let alone killer ones - for a dude whose lingua franca is, essentially, po…

I can't believe I've never seen that video before. I've wasted my life. I now want to do a remake of this around Potsdamer Platz.

Jonny_Paycheck said:the idea, advanced in that Times article, that poor wittle M/D couldn't stop the gravy train long enough to get clearances because they don't have a proper legal/admin dept is laughable, though. Couldn't agree more. If you …

Actually, this is pretty sound advice. Some of the Euro festivals are a much more attractive proposition for many than the same tired old posts on the UK circuit. Benicassim springs to mind. My brother works for one of the big promoters during the t…

Try and find out a little about the topography of the site beforehand if possible - is it flat or hilly, are there natural basins, etc. It's not essential, but it'll help you avoid pitching your tent in low-lying areas where you may be at the mercy …

SP 1200 said:New Harry Fraud mixtape, haven't listened to it yet but should be good. http://www.datpiff.com/Harry-Fraud-Adrift-mixtape.463242.html I didn't realise at the time, but the new Danny Brown cut I posted a few days ago is fro…

Coldplay didn't "steal" anything from Kraftwerk - that use of Computer Love was cleared legitimately, well in advance of the track coming out. I know this for a fact. The LCD one is interesting, though. I don't think I've ever read anything that com…

JATX said:Also, the Dionne Warwick record Dilla sampled is eluding me. I know it's not rare, but why do I see every other album by her but that one? I had a beat-up copy for maybe ten years before finally copping a cheap clean one in the closi…

Jeremy Clarkson unveils his new power-trio, The Lesbian Aunties.

Nothing too surprising here, and certainly nothing that's likely to change anyone's mind about Danny Brown, but this is pretty good.
-
Gleefully indulging in schadenfreude simply because you can just doesn't have the appeal it once did. I couldn't have cared less if United had won or lost last night, and I certainly couldn't care less about United feeling hard done by concerning th…

This whole thing is one incredible build-up.

There's also this, by the ex-lead singer of Josef K.

These pictures are terrific.

Eggplant Xanadoo said:So good, just descovered them after reading Patti Smith's book. Crazy Springsteen did a cover of them. State Trooper from Nebraska is a total bite of Suicide. Everyone jocks the first album on Red Star, but …

batmon said:Are they the only Hip Hop artists to rock the hidden double track with the Brainwashed Follower joint? Nah, the UK 10" of LL's Going Back To Cali was a double-groove joint with Jack The Ripper.

Ricky Forcefield said:could a strand of this be 'diggers' who were turning up a lot of mfp cheese from charity shops and decided to have a bit of revisionism? Some of that MFP cheese was pretty good, though.

sticky_dojah said:Does this fit in somewhere in the discussion? Yeah. Matt Bianco was a spin-off of Blue Rondo A La Turk, a much-hyped, short-lived early 80s band fronted by London scenesters like Chris Sullivan and Christos Tolera, …

batmon said:Swing Out Sister. Two-thirds of whom were Andy Connell (ex-A Certain Ratio) and Martin Jackson (ex-Magazine), so there's the post-punk thing once again.

bassie said: Do Scott Walker and Julee Cruise belong in this conversation? Yes, esp. Scott Walker. As far as the Brit post-punk thing goes, the compilation Julian Cope did for Zoo in the early 80s, The Godlike Genius Of Scott Walker (pr…

Dean R said:Not so sure about the others, I think Sade and Weekend were coming more directly from the UK Soul / Jazz scenes. Sade definitely was. Weekend was more post-punk/indie-pop meets jazz - Alison Statton had been in Young Marble Giants,…

If some of my friends knew how old I was when I heard Forever Changes end-to-end for the first time, I'd never be able to go back to Liverpool again.
