just heard another sample source from the album. the original to Gold Rush is 'Buffalo' by Writing on the Wall.

Isn't something like June 8 2008 3:45A more realistic for the End Up?

i don't like that place. the doorpeople took my weed TWICE (not joking)

if you're hating on 'pacific rhythm' you're nuts. vocoder parts are awesome.

patrin review on pfork is characteristically terrible

it's blatant Tarantino bait that sounds like Hendrix's Band of Gypsys after developing some kind of Italian soundtrack fetish,

^^^writing very much in character

i was more offended by the way "i only loved this cheap and tacky 80s schmaltz when i figured out it's actually the o'jays" was rubbing up against "no wait, i really really do like this cheap and tacky 80s schmaltz, it's like having jodie foster blow crack smoke up my ass while we watch miami vice reruns"

pick your lazy cliches carefully and make sure they don't negate each other

i walked into the record store today looking to buy a copy of silent movie and instead i walked out with a used copy of "STEPPENWOLF: GOLD". can you smell it?

moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 15 May 2008 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link

loving this. for some reason i missed all the WEWW singles - only heard the remixes - so it's all fairly fresh.

v, do steppenwolf really have enough good trax for a two-disc compilation??

haitch, Friday, 16 May 2008 01:46 (sixteen years ago) link

not really!

moonship journey to baja, Friday, 16 May 2008 05:04 (sixteen years ago) link

LP arrived in the mail from !K7 yesterday.

only liner notes: "All songs written and produced by Joel Martin and Matt Edwards"

gr8080, Monday, 19 May 2008 02:12 (sixteen years ago) link

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? did they not license *any* of it?

BATTAGS, Monday, 19 May 2008 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

i know right? i loled.

gr8080, Wednesday, 21 May 2008 17:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Am I stupid for not going to the record release party tonight because I had some friends at my house?

Tobias Rapp, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 23:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I thought we could listen to it at my place. Which we didn't. And now I'm having second thoughts.

Tobias Rapp, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 23:44 (sixteen years ago) link

O SHIT

quiet village RA mix!

moonship journey to baja, Thursday, 29 May 2008 06:19 (sixteen years ago) link

RA mix pretty dull. :(

Raw Patrick, Thursday, 29 May 2008 10:09 (sixteen years ago) link

haha isnt quiet village's schtick "hip dullness"? or do you mean dull in another way

max, Thursday, 29 May 2008 14:42 (sixteen years ago) link

i went to see the live gig in mtl the other night just expecting a laptop gig, but it was actually a really lovely audio visual set. can't really tell if they do anything to the tunes themselves (don't have the record yet), it is definitely laptoppage but they've put together a series of visuals (spliced movie scenes) to go with the songs. my advice if you go to see this is stand at the front . also they've added more gigs to their myspace ... think they are at cielo in nyc tonite.

jaime, Monday, 2 June 2008 14:17 (sixteen years ago) link

nice, they'll be in SF this saturday. thanks for the heads up

mutek cheaped out on the screens a bit. the focus is totally on the visuals and sound. matt and joel sit off to the side.

jaime, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 06:57 (sixteen years ago) link

(^^^ all that other stuff on stage was for the next act)

jaime, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 06:58 (sixteen years ago) link

no idea what they'll do at the End Up, it's a tweeky dance club

jaxon, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 07:01 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, i mean, i think that as qv those guys might still be figuring out exactly what the best way to present themselves is, in a 'live' setting. i guess where the focus has been on radio slave as producer/ remixer/ dj and on joel martin as a dj (very straight forward things) ... this sample based creation is totally different. i had no idea what to expect going into it but i left thinking how they did it made total sense. it was a splice and dice soundtrack to a splice and dice movie, and i found that presented in that way it was more engaging and absorbing than listening to just the tracks themselves. (then again, other than the 12 i have i've just been streaming them off myspace)

jaime, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 07:37 (sixteen years ago) link

(hmmm i just reminded myself that this is quite similar to what in flagranti does with those little vids on the codek site, which i also like)

jaime, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 07:44 (sixteen years ago) link

let me guess they used jodorowsky and kubric and bunuel and ... who else?

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 08:03 (sixteen years ago) link

They used those but claimed that they'd shot the films themselves.

Raw Patrick, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 08:08 (sixteen years ago) link

mutek cheaped out on the screens a bit

that doesn't look like "cheaping out" compared to what I saw, Cielo had one teeeny teeeny screen going

let me guess they used jodorowsky and kubric and bunuel and ... who else?

xpost

you would think so wouldn't you? clever people. hehe. the 2 that i know of are sort of funny actually, not art school at all.

jaime, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 08:19 (sixteen years ago) link

ouch bummer. i said cheaping out just cuz it was like, some big pieces of bristol board cobbled together

jaime, Tuesday, 3 June 2008 08:21 (sixteen years ago) link

neat mix ...

spotting has already started at djh if anyone's curious about the tracklisting

jaime, Friday, 6 June 2008 03:30 (sixteen years ago) link

can't really tell if they do anything to the tunes themselves

I think it's pretty much just playing the record, I didn't notice any differences

at the same time I'm still glad I went to the "show" because I had never been to Cielo and the sound there is pretty sick and the movie was funny/cool

also it inspired me to get the record and there's some really nice stuff among the non-early-leaked bits namely the vocoder on Pacific Rhythm and the vocals on Keep On Rollin

dmr, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:07 (sixteen years ago) link

also I had never heard Francois K dj before and it was pretty cool! the Quiet Village thing was kind of the "opening act" at Deep space

dmr, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:09 (sixteen years ago) link

he does that

i tried to check out radio slave there last year and missed his set cuz i didn't realize he was opening

jaime, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:12 (sixteen years ago) link

although qv opened at mutek too and i was totally expecting them to be on at like, 4:30 or something

jaime, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:13 (sixteen years ago) link

somehow I timed it pretty good, I was paying to get in and the first part of victoria's secret came on

dmr, Friday, 6 June 2008 05:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I walked in right as they were starting as well. QV was cool, but I also had never been to Cielo and had a great time during Francois's set.

> They used those but claimed that they'd shot the films themselves.

ZING!

BleepBot, Friday, 6 June 2008 23:49 (sixteen years ago) link

I am going to see them tonight at Elbo. They are playing The End Up tomorrow, but I don't think that club is the proper setting for them.

oscar, Saturday, 7 June 2008 00:06 (sixteen years ago) link

that joel martin mix is amazing. it almost sounds like if harvey had been commissioned to make a mix of new-wave done balearic. this one's a keeper.

oscar, Saturday, 7 June 2008 03:46 (sixteen years ago) link

reports from the field:

Dude you didn't miss anything. Somebody was djing some awful slow jam when I got there, then suddenly someone said, "Hello, we're Quiet Village. Enjoy the movie.". Then they walked away and there was a reel of film clips playing and the album played from beginning to end. Seriously, like off a cd. They never did anything. I can't believe they advertised as "Live". So lame.
