Beats In Space host totally sucks at interviews, right?

so does he choose the guests are are they chosen for him?

sorry the interviews suck. maybe I'll just cut them out of the archives from now on.

I liked that superpitcher interview though!

as for this:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Nobody in this thread could conduct a better interview. Be thankful he does what he does.
-- cdwill (use...), September 21st, 2005.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Let me say. HA! "Be thankful he does what he does"? Yeah, i wouldn't know about Superpitcher or Linstrom if they didn't appear on B.I.S. What service is B.I.S. providing that isn't already flooding the P2P networks? I can download hundreds of hours of killer DJ sets anytime i want whether Beats In Space hosts them or not. I'm quite certain having a 5 year old ask Superpitcher what his favorite toys were as a kid would be just as interesting as the interview at the end of his B.I.S. set.

to follow up my last point, there aren't a ton of radio stations in the greater NYC area playing this kind of stuff. Actually, there are two, WFMU and WNYU, and maybe Barnard. Not sure what the status of Columbia's station is. So having live DJ sets by the likes of superstars such as Lindstrom, Optimo, Superpitcher, Crazy Rhythms etc is quite a service.

I will state here that i have overwhelmingly enjoyed listening to the B.I.S. sets i've downloaded and look forward to exploring more sets (Recommendations Here please!) in the future. I just wish Tim would capitalize on the opportunity and ask some good questions of his guests.

also judging by BIS setlists (I don't always get to listen to the show live), and the Our Disco set, and the Backlash set he did for ourselves in Dublin, Tim knows his music plenty.

And I mean, on further reflection that Superpitcher interview pretty much was the first time I ever heard him talk, and it felt very like his persona, so if the main skill of interviewing is getting the subject to relax then Tim did fine.

(while we're here, anyone know what the techy track Superpitcher plays that samples "Plastic Doll" by Dharma is. it's not DJ T, though I know there are probably a few electrohouse tracks that sample that tune)

you don't. unless someone has you at gunpoint, forcing you download the sets and praise tim loudly. is that what's happening? that's fucked up.

Tim and I (and James Friedman and Jon Santos) are djing a performance tonight where Brion Paul gets drunk for the first time ever. First sip at 11pm.

I was standing outside Love that night with some people and we couldn't figure out how the hell to get into the fucking place. They muttered and went on their drunken way and I stood there for a second more like a jackass before I realized what the damned arrow was saying. But, that crowd was pretty decent considering the cover price.

uhoh. i was trying to not go out tonight.

(maybe not in Dublin though, we are still getting over catholicism)

that chris carter track at the start is so so nice, what record is it from?

oh no worry, google sez it is from his mondo beat lp

looks great dan, can't wait to listen.

thanks for the kind words people. The Carter track is from a CTI comp...the real shock of the evening is that I forgot to bring Carter's The Space Between CD, which was something I'd discussed with Tim some time ago that got us talking about this stuff.

the chris carter is also on his 'mondo beat' lp. i'm really looking forward to downloading this. tim told me about it a few weeks ago and was super psyched. glad to see sweeney played 'sun flight' - that's one of my desert island discs. good work mr. selzer.

Great mix, Dan!

XD

where can i find this mysterious 'crashing'

I know I'm late to the Simonetti Kraut mix but this shit is mindblowing ! Also, the Mark 7 mix is an awesome blend of obscure disco edits and some deep house, great mixing skills by this DJ from Sweden.

11. Raiders of the Lost ARP - Crashing - Final Frontier

still would kill to find this

yeah this tracks is a banger. no info on discogs or pigna's site, must be on the shh shh.

isnt that a lindstrom alias?

RotLA = Mario Pierro (sp?)

wow that dude was super belligerent

I know I'm late to the Simonetti Kraut mix but this shit is mindblowing !

Oh, fuck yes. The flanged guitar track at 37:00 just kills me.

so is it down for everybody?

i had to disable the podcast cause it wouldn't work right

Todd Terje this week. killing it maaaaan.

yeah. wasn't feeling strangefruit tho

and yeah he totally sucks at interviews. isn't he a writer or am I getting tims mixed up

yeah hes a writer. youre prolly confusing him w tim goldsworthy. i confuse those guys all the time

agree about strangefruits set, shit was whatevz.
but when terje played this:
SIMON BAKER - Plastik (Todd Terje Türkatech remix)= money

couldn't separate finney/sweeney, i know finney is a writer

ur trapped in my web of banality

finney posts on ilx dude

yeh i know but seeing his name so much made me think of him when i see tim sweeney's name. let's explore this.

haha. finney, sweeney, goldsworthy. finsweenygold.

crusaders-spiral
hooray for funky jazz disco with rhodes lines that seem to never end.

By the way, WNYU is in fact a college station, and it takes a special kind of moron to get a show there.

I know this was two years ago, but still. hey now.

fancy new website! dj harvey set!

love love love the maft sai mix, and the bim marx one from last week

First post on this thread/title is very harsh! Yeah the Maft Sai mix was great, also the Afucan Sound System which was old Turkish tracks, made a nice change

looking forward to the Mike Simonetti show from last night being uploaded as well

Last week's show looks great. Downloaded but haven't listened to it yet.

The week before's with just Tim was stellar too, especially the second hour with that Henrik Schwarz Jackson 5 remix and KiNK tracks

^^haha that episode was fuckin great

seeing Tim DJ tonite, super fuckin stoked.

technically i've seen him once before but he was opening for The Juan Maclean at a weird out of the way Chicago venue on a Tuesday nite as a blizzard had just hit, so it didn't really count

ha I saw he was posting Hawaii pictures on Instagram and thought "I wonder if Grady will see him DJ"

I've seen him three times, always fun

the new BIS 12" by Secret Circuit (Ed Ruscha from Laughing Light of Plenty) is pretty awesome, think it comes out in February

http://vimeo.com/35346951

I liked Parfait Tirage all right but this one is huge

man, this thread starter was such a douchebag. and he went missing with no explanation.

the thread starter's not missing, he phones in to the show every week calling himself "Victor from Washington Heights"

lol

that ivan smagghe from last week was great. didn't think i'd enjoy it as much as i did for some reason

the new BIS 12" by Secret Circuit (Ed Ruscha from Laughing Light of Plenty) is pretty awesome, think it comes out in February

this is out, I got one at Other Music. it's fuckin great

lol @ that local garda post

a good friend of mine/occasional ILX lurker has a mixtape series he got Tim to do one for:

i got to see him play while he was in town, super fun!

i took this photo:

http://i.imgur.com/EarPg.jpg

listening to the latest bis with juan maclean and it is hilarious , they got the guy from washington heights to call and juan gang-up with him against tim. also, great song to start the show even if it gets instantly derailed. house comedy podcast!

Victor seems like a combination of a real person mixed with one of the fake callers from the Best Show On WFMU. I don't doubt he works on Wall Street and all, but the constant bragging about himself (I make millions! I have parties every week with a 100 people!) combined with the death threats and the insults is a bit too much.

Really interesting/surreal show though.

i couldn't deal with the juan maclean bla bla, too annoying, didn't end up listening to that one.

really loved the latest with mika snikars and hnny, minimal talk thank god.

you know what would be ideal is the music stays the same and the show is hosted by fred rogers (r.i.p.)

ok i think the deal is he talks to people like they're release schedules? workaholic

i don't mind

when did you last play new york, when will you next play new york, where did you last play new york, where will you next play new york, when were you last on the show, what label will you next release on, ehhhhhhhhhhhh, deep inhale into the mic, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

he is laughable sometimes, but his show is still awesome and he is a great dj and i'm sure a great guy.

yeah he sounds really great!

i always google these parties that people play in like phoenix or denver and get jealous.

(daniel avery playing in phoenix ffs)

the music is the absolute best though. it has annoyed me for ages that nobody here ever talks about it despite the fact you hear the best tracks way before anyone mentions them here.

god yes. i was so into the mika snikars set last week, reminded me of a cos/mes mix from last year i think. hnny might have been better even. new one sounds great so far (though it's late and i'm inattentive).

tim is def a great guy!!

did you meet him when he played hawaii? that sounded good when he mentioned it on the show.

i met him in dublin years ago and he was really nice.

yeah he came out twice last year actually. i didn't really get to spend any time with him but friends of mine were hosting him and he played the club I used to be a resident at.

met him once in Chicago early 2006 once too

I don't know why, but I still sometimes imagine he has long hair.

Like, I see him, and don't recognize him, 'cause Tim ca. 2006 is all my mind's eye knows.

>>the music is the absolute best though. it has annoyed me for ages that nobody here ever talks about it despite the fact you hear the best tracks way before anyone mentions them here.<<

Completely OTM

Really enjoying this Honey Soundsystem set.

club i was at the other night played this twice, and why not.

Mo Morris mix is the business.

^^

I'm on tonight. I'm going to play techno, italo, some new wave and some pretentious NYC art music.

probably.

Excellent, can't wait to listen in..

http://danecdotes.com/post/103699412159/9-years-after-my-first-visit-and-7-years-after-my

Cool set Dan! No Paul Haig though? ;) Never heard Frederic Rzewski or Repetition before. Also awesome to hear Meredith Monk fit right in with all the beat-driven stuff.

dan your set was really good!

currently listening to the 15th anniversary mix, the classics disc starts off with victor from washington heights of course.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it came out. The second half is a bit spotty and I missed playing certain stuff I wanted to get to, but Tim was kind enough to have already given me a ton of time.

1000th show this week and a great selection of tunes from the last 20 years played, many of which I'd completely forgotten about (like KZA and Sidwho?)

— Tim Sweeney (@BISradio) January 30, 2020

well that sucks

Shame!

nooooooo :(

He should just move it to The Lot or the like. 99% of his listernship is online and he carries his own archives via patreon support.

good news - he's getting to keep the slot after all!

The End ☹️

oh no

21 years! The show itself is old enough to graduate college.

Maybe not the end as Tim says it's just a break at the end of the show (but doesn't specify how long)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FR0thRsgMY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rtZhLBtVj8

Anyone know what this one could be? From his 2008 mix CD for RVNG.

Wow! Great song, but no idea on the ID--Neu! '75 meets Roxy downtown

yeah sounds like a band losing themselves in a La Düsseldorf/Eno wormhole

Sounds like a Conny Plank production. Where’s Julian Cope’s Krautrockshazampler when you need it.

no idea but it's so good!

Has anybody asked him?

found it!!

The Mickey Bliss Band - Trapezoid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7w1lxC3fvI

I asked him if it was a song vahid thought it was and he said with the name I’d this thread he wasn’t going to help.

Excellent work xp

I was also searching for "trapezoid" as the title and guessed early 80s.

Can't believe the thread title finally made Tim Sweeney go off the inernet because of you 16 years later.

I grabbed the 12” off Discogs already. Almost Ready in Brooklyn had a copy

12" ?

Sorry single. I didn’t think I even noticed what size it was.

Good news

https://ra.co/news/76328

"Sweeney, as well as guest DJs, will be paid, and the artists whose music appears in DJ mixes will also be paid out from the streaming service."

This seems like a good development.

I've already offered my guest DJ services
