S/D, C/D: 555 Recordings

Stewart Anderson's 555 label. One of the few labels that can pull off releasing both interesting electronica and yer standard bedsit indie.

Classic, IMO, although some of the more tuneless electronica (Jean Bach) and some of the more tuneless shambolic indie (Long Weekend) can be a bit trying.

bought 'gq on the eq' - kid 606. what a load of tripe. but 555 had its address as being in philidelphia...what happened to ls6??

cant see the excitement about remote viewer either. actually 555 woudl have to be one of the most boring electronica labels, along with tigerbeat, in my opinion.

you guys are nuts, Stewart's label is great, so are the Steward records. Others of note on 555: The Famous Boyfriend, Empress, Saucer, etc. And of course freakin' Boyracer. It really isn't an electronica label though. "Electronica" = boring, usually, this is more about bedroom pop, electropop, and punk. The reformed Boyracer was great live this summer/fall. 555 was located in Philly for a while, but I think after Stewart got hitched they relocated to Arizona (of all places).

Steward's Horselaugh On My Ex was my favorite record of 2000. Four track bedroom pop layered with cheap electronics and samples from 80's pop hits. The best noise pop record since the JAMC's heyday. Classic.

The Boyracer comp (Boyfuckingracer) is also excellent. Combine that with some better than average electronica releases (Cex, 606, Acceleradeck) and some perfect lo-fi pop (the Cannanes!) and it's enough to get the whole label classic status.

I like steward and the one remote viewer song I've heard.
