he never her daughter
― blueski, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
It really does sound nothing like "your dating my daughter". I suppose if she had suddenly developed a weird American accent just for the word "daughter", and had some weird speech defect that meant she couldn't pronounce the the syllable "ing" it might be possible, but I have looked into it and this is not the case.

you're dating my daughter my sister my daughter my sister
― Jordan, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
it's on all the lyrics websites as "dating my daughter". is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that? even if that is the case i'm baffled as to how someone could hear it as that in the first place.
True. At first I heard the data line too but after googling it, now I can only hear the daughter line. :-(
― stevienixed, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link
But even if you accepted a bizarre pronunciation of "daughter", it would still only say "your data my daughter". There is no way you can hear it as "dating" even if you try!

Well, English is my 5487th language.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, after being initially underwhelmed by this, it is slowly growing into one of my singles of the year. Fits well with the dark-italo stuff that's coming out lately. I hope the album is in that vein too.
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 08:34 (sixteen years ago) link
When is the album coming out anyway? And what dark-italo stuff would you recommend (alongside this ep)?
― nathalie, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 08:36 (sixteen years ago) link
The whole 'After Dark' compilation that got featured on Pitchfork a few weeks ago is really really great
― baaderonixx, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 09:28 (sixteen years ago) link
great track. love the video too. really psyched for this record.
― ^@^, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 09:38 (sixteen years ago) link
think this ended up charting at about #132
― blueski, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 09:45 (sixteen years ago) link
i think it's "you're dating my data".
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Friday, 10 August 2007 10:54 (sixteen years ago) link
like adding the year of release to ID3 tag info
― blueski, Friday, 10 August 2007 12:05 (sixteen years ago) link
i do that.
but it kind of makes sense, her data is her "dna data" or something?
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Friday, 10 August 2007 12:07 (sixteen years ago) link
amazing artwork... the next single & the album art:

I bet the Coca Cola logo will be gone by the time this becomes an album cover.

you could do a good 'spot the difference' contest with it

This album is great. Really hits the sharp beat shiny spot, innit.
― Matthew H, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 12:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Promos already? I thought it wasn't out until - oh wait, beginning October, wasn't it?
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 12:07 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, 8th Oct I think.
A ruthlessly sealed promo with dark DO NOT RIP THIS CD warnings arrived late last week.
― Matthew H, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 12:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Isn't this album crying out for a one word review: "Overrated" ?
not that I have heard it or anything, it just seems cosmically appropriate.
― The Real Dirty Vicar, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 12:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm definitely excited about this.
― baaderonixx, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 12:41 (sixteen years ago) link
The new single's clip on myspace certainly has me anticpating, I like the Groove Armada guy's remix of it too, christ.
― Alex xy, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 12:50 (sixteen years ago) link
lol@ Geneva's Batie festival naively asking me to stream her gig online in 10 days w/out having negotiated any rights. Like I'm gonna set anything up just to have to take it down 15 minutes prior to the concert.

I have only one question: do pubs usually have chimneys inside or is it part of her headdress?
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link
that is not a pub
― blueski, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:00 (sixteen years ago) link
ok, but I the only other word I could think of was "diner" and that felt too american

KAFF
― blueski, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link
oh! thanks. ("café" is the word we use for pub in dutch, which is probably why I didn't think of that)
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link
what is Dutch for 'greasy spoon'?
― blueski, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:10 (sixteen years ago) link
In Dutch? 'snack bar' :-)
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:37 (sixteen years ago) link
i meant literally!

Oh. "vette lepel" or "vettige lepel"
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 17:06 (sixteen years ago) link
the new single sounds more like Sophie E-B, in the good way.
― blueski, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 12:33 (sixteen years ago) link
i wasn't knocked out by 'overpowered', music-wise.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 12:52 (sixteen years ago) link
album has some serious highs and lows. on balance i think herbert's absence is pretty obvious.
― ^@^, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Hmm she canceled over here at the last minute, something about the bass player cutting his finger off (ouch).

Overpowered

So, definitely uneven, but I'm thinking this could be commercially successful. There's a Timbaland rip-off, which turns out quite gorgeous.
― baaderonixx, Sunday, 7 October 2007 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
you dont say...is this actually out next week?

Could it be that the album should be alot, lot, lot longer? Her free mp3, modern timing, is as good as anything off the new album, and Sweet Nothings is pretty awesomely wholesome. Dear Miami, however, is simply fantastic. Conveniently topical

I believe the main producer is Eddie Stevens, who has worked with Murphy since Moloko days.
