Le Tigre "TGIF", I don't know why I do these things to myself

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

14 mins of thriller!

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I shouldn't repeat myself

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

The end of TGIF is pretty good, actually, but picking the good bits out of a Le Tigre record is kinda depressing after the first one

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)

It's kinda funny that Michael Jackson decided he could make movies after making a couple of crappy LONG videos, "Moonwalker" is pretty much exactly the same Michael goes SUPERNATURAL crap but for 90 mins

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I really don't like even thinking about Moonwalker.
shudder.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Smells like Teen Spirit FINALLY

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Well done

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you get "Praise You"? And was there much else good in the rest of the 100?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:55 (twenty-two years ago)

A-Ha were number three, I have no complaints about that. Aphex Twin was in the Top 10 as well (Come To Daddy). 8 Foot Sativa's presence in the Top 20 is a good argument against the democratic process, mind you.

― Damian (Damian), Sunday, 5 October 2003 09:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Why this is no more accurate than the bFM Top 10!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Btw it's the Human League "Love on the Run" now, much better!

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep I got Praise You AND Waterfalls! And some other stuff, the Aphex Twin etc.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Did 8 Foot Sativa organise some kind of mass voting? That was so fuckin stupid.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:25 (twenty-two years ago)

They have loads of friends, lucky them

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I just put Outkast on because of that new video

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I have Devo's first album on now, things are really looking up

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Ol' Dirty Bastard now, there ain't no father to his style

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 11:09 (twenty-two years ago)

it's not totally my choice - the new belle and sebastian dear catastrophe waitress, which came out here before it has anywhere else, not that that makes it any better to listen to.

― Clare (not entirely unhappy), Sunday, 5 October 2003 11:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't you feel exclusive, tho? Not that there are legions of slavering B&S fans to be jealous of you anymore, I guess

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 5 October 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

on cue! i was waiting for that (and from you - it's not cause i'm gay is it? heh heh) no i really don't feel exclusive, haven't since i was at school, actually.

this is something i have been thinking about for a while, really.

i read the situation of the album's early release here differently. i thought if that came out here first i may get to hear music i want to hear quickly and with special japan-only frills, over and above the beautiful nihongo lyric sheets too. yah!

getting to hear what you want is good in a culture that's otherwise, however good your language skills and however friendly and excellent, fundamentally inaccessible. and these small finds - in a place where most of what's written is impossible to decipher, even if you can read katakana, hiragana and kanji (i can't much) - are treasures, however unpopular or too popular, or erstwhile popular or just no longer and never were cool. also, recently japan has developed legions of slavering B&S fans and, for someone with a culturalist materialist 'eye' like myself, it's interesting to try and work out why. no, it's not cause they are deeply suggestible consumers to whom almost has-beens run, though quite a few have toured recently. i think it's related to the number of french bakeries here and is quite recent (cf nz circa '99ish). the types of japanese youth who like b & s are curious cause they don't appear to be wolfing them down as the 'latest' band to hit nihon, like they do many other sorta similar bands. have you lived in a country that doesn't speak english - that doesn't even use the roman alphabet? it's real empire of the signs stuff and has a demoractising effect on your tastes, that's well, quite liberating!

i also read the early release as further proof that, unlike in nz, some of the bands i like will certainly come to japan. these in part include those groups that make up the oldies who influenced the newies (television most recently), who were so recently in vogue in this very forum. really mate, the fact that i mentioned b & s should, to the attentive reader, register the very ordinariness of the cultural reference to me, or that it might mean something else, which as i've mentioned above, is the case here.

late for work now, but very good exercise.

the holly golightly record i got in wellington

oooh you are back??!! are you going to introspect opening tonight?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 5 October 2003 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I was listening to Hitch a Ride by Boston, but my walkman was too loud and I got asked to turn it down. Oops.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Sunday, 5 October 2003 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to that psychic guy on tv.

Listening to that psychic guy on TV is probably better than listening to Psychic TV.

― Damian (Damian), Monday, 6 October 2003 08:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Now I'm listening to Vampire by Sebadoh (it's part of the playlist for a mix CD I am making for someone in some place far away, which is coincidentally where Mr. Snrub comes from).

― Damian (Damian), Monday, 6 October 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

No, B&S are pretty ordinary to me too

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 6 October 2003 10:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I was being "matily" sarcastic btw, do be attentive

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 6 October 2003 10:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I have actually known about Japan's differing release schedule thing for a fair old while. Expensive Japanese Cds w/exclusive bonus tracks have been around for years, and they were always released weeks/months before the US/Europe versions. Actually, stuff'd often come out in Europe before the US, too. Record company crap, big deal. Are Mouse on Mars besieged by screeching fans when they tour?

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 6 October 2003 10:58 (twenty-two years ago)

AFX 'Analogue Bubblebath Vol 3', it sounds fantastic

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 6 October 2003 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Cat Power "Dear Sir", this sounds great too.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 6 October 2003 12:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Outkast "Stankonia", mostly cos "Hey Ya" was so great today. Also listening to this is always a pleasure, man.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 6 October 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

9-noon on national radio. they play such bad bad music that it reminds me of lite music club. i like it when linda clark is off sick.

― ducklingmonster, Monday, 6 October 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

"Hey Ya" is soooo great. shake yr polaroid.

― ducklingmonster, Monday, 6 October 2003 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I put some Stankonia on too, and Hey Ya's still stuck in my head.

― Elisabeth (Elisabeth), Monday, 6 October 2003 21:30 (twenty-two years ago)

As in the first record, then I'll play the second.
