Haven't heard a Lulu James song yet in 2013 that I don't like.

i was fairly surprised that 'step by step' seemed to fall through the cracks... got a couple of radio plays but no one really ran with it
http://soundcloud.com/walter-ego/sets/lulu-james-step-by-step-walter/
walter ego's mix very much worth checking also

i definitely ran with "step by step" on a personal fav level

not that anyone here will likely give a monkeys but black butter associate coco cole has a show on fake 1xtra, standardish selection on first squiz

feel that black butter is a salient vector into the debate about the fall of choice fm/commerce/interzones/marginalisation/"blue collar" conservative defensivism blah blah
lulu james too in a way perhaps

dunno if this fits in the thread but I'm kinda faded and my roomie was playing this over and over last week and now I'm obsessed

that annie mac mix really is just...hit after hit, totally shameless and necessary for every house party this winter
(obv remember to delete the james blake though, don't want that nasty surprise at the end, no sir)

do you like that cyril hahn then! i like that cyril hahn. ~ i'm so tongue, tied ~
i would mainly be wanting to hear 'bassline' this winter. someone should make a whigfield style dance for it in fact
now i'm flicking thru it again 'the renegade' sounds bizarrely way more xmas festive than it was summery
― r|t|c, Monday, 28 October 2013 19:12 (ten years ago) link
actually no i posted before the hahn, on the second half now and actually i think that's where it all started to tail off. it's not as terrible as i expect from him i guess, it's adequate. new-to-me amazing were "bassline", "the show", the breach/triana one...actually in the second half the new kidnap kid and lulu james ones are v sweet
"the renegade" made me irl lol, just...of course
― lex pretend, Monday, 28 October 2013 19:19 (ten years ago) link
while we're on the subject of hahn and his ilk, and because he happily doesn't get actual traction on ilx, i'll just say this here: BUN RYAN HEMSWORTH
a friend described them both as "dance game macklemore" to me at the weekend, lol
― lex pretend, Monday, 28 October 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link
These Ben Pearce lyrics are pretty rapey:
It was drinking time, getting out of lineAnd I'm taking you back to your placeAll is well and all is coolStay in your place, don't be no foolGet along alrightYou look like the type that would try to fightBest off being a friend to meYou don't want to offend meBetter play it cool, don't know what I might do
(Grabbed these online, so I can't vouch for their absolute accuracy, but this sounds about right.)

the zinc's been around for a while but it's a totally underrated grower... a lot of this sort of stuff can seem like its smoothly on rails (bom bom bom shadow child drop fatigue prevented me succumbing to the gorgon city mnek for some time) but whoever that vocalist is has a real ragged winsome need that cuts through to the heart ("I WANT YOU SO BAD" startlingly grabbing you by the lapels just when you assume it's looping back round)

post clean bandit prim popjustice comfort zoning is prob the great trap with this stuff now basically, unabashed urgency required

it's a dialectic!! and i feel like hannah wants is the bellwether for it.

i bought a box of neurofen plus and a box of alka seltzer in a pharmacy a couple of weeks ago that was completely empty and the woman behind the counter was standing really still and quietly listening to this song at full volume
― plax (ico), Sunday, 9 February 2014 21:25 (ten years ago) link
see if i had any real faith in ilm i'd ask for a thread of suchlike circumstantial poetics
fwiw this week's effort from myself is i was in a pub (again but poncy this time) and boc 'roygbiv' soundtracked a bunch of thirty something girls having a post-work pre-friday night festivities natter about whether they should go home and get changed first. felt unprecedentedly correct of course

i have an experiment for the above haplessly enthusiastic tracer hand
http://youtu.be/4BQjK2jS7jE
iyo does this track, taken from a recent hannah wants mix, fit into the remit of this thread
― r|t|c, Sunday, 9 February 2014 21:43 (ten years ago) link
maybe superficially but there's a kind of outsider witch-house broken feeling to it that makes me say no.
lol @ "haplessly enthusiastic" - my epitaph, if ever i had one
fact fans will have noticed that clean bandit is No.1 in the uk pop charts for the third straight week now. CLEAN effing BANDIT. i mean..!
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 10 February 2014 10:05 (ten years ago) link
and i have to say that "rather be" is a mite prim but i do like it. it certainly doesn't feel like a No.1 to me though, more like an unexpected side D cut from a back to mine album that temporarily cuts through the murk.
