AKA DO MY EYES DECIEVE ME OR IS DIZZEE RASCAL GOING TO BE ON THE NEW BASEMENT JAXX ALBUM?!?!

*head explodes*

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:37 (twenty years ago) link

this looks fuckin' fantabulous and amazing. i can't wait.

― H (Heruy), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:39 (twenty years ago) link

haha the sioux inclusion is going to have simon reynolds doing that little sideways-walking-on-the-floor thing homer did when he was the union leader

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:40 (twenty years ago) link

eh ive been waiting forever for a new basement jaxx but why this rock punk electro stuff, i was hoping theyd continue more in the janet jackson rnb thing, this seems kinda like bandwagon jumping... id also like them actually having rappers and not dizzee rascal, and could they not get justin instead of jc??? im sure i will like the album but i dont like what theyre going for

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:55 (twenty years ago) link

haha b jaxx have done nothing BUT bandwagon jump for their entire career!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:56 (twenty years ago) link

remedy was a major sell out move at the time

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:56 (twenty years ago) link

And that is why they are so brilliant, surely.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 15:57 (twenty years ago) link

no dont get me wrong i adore bandwagon jumping but this is 'punk funk' indie bandwagon

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:00 (twenty years ago) link

i actually like the rapture - house of jealous lovers but what if it all sounds like that : (

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:01 (twenty years ago) link

e, they only talk about electropunk in reference to one of the tracks! no worries!!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

Quite!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

the very idea of this record is going to give me an all day boner today

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think it is going to - "Where's Your Head At" was much beerier than anything the Rapture etc. do. It's their big beat album obviously!

(Yes I am excited btw)

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:03 (twenty years ago) link

i hope that dizzee song is like calypso handbag grime or summat and not just straight bwj

― sean g, Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:04 (twenty years ago) link

like, i'm gonna guess the dizzee track is going to be something along the lines of "fly life" or "jump'n'shout" with more of a garage edge; "good luck"...disco dnb? so = "i want u"??; the Meshell Ndegéocello track will be along the lines of "red alert"; and hopefully the JC track will sound like "get me off"!!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:04 (twenty years ago) link

ha that's good tom because i've been listening to nothing but music from the late 90s this week.

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:07 (twenty years ago) link

: ) ok!!! i cant wait to see the album art too

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

I keep thinking of all these people in a room together. Didn't happen, I know, but I'm still thinking about it.

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

and the jc track, 'r&b sex-up meets rave anthem that is Plug It In', it will sound like babyface 2 unlimited!!!!!!!

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

if basement jaxx did an album with rappers i think i might die....the missy remix omg

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

I'm with Trife, they should have tried to get JT instead of JC.

― Larcole (Nicole), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:13 (twenty years ago) link

'new from basement jaxx, a hip house rap opera concept album f camron, sean paul, lil flip, chester from linkin park and b2k'

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

for real nicole it wouldve made up for their shitty like i love u remix too, most disappointing remix ever!!!!!

― trife (simon_tr), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

trife did you hear the "like i love you" remix?!

haha X-POST

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:15 (twenty years ago) link

They should have tried to get Abs from Five.

(Not that you'd need to try very hard, granted.)

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

The Basement Jaxx "Like I Love You" remix was the only good thing about "Like I Love You".

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:18 (twenty years ago) link

this album has turned me into trife!

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 12 August 2003 16:18 (twenty years ago) link

every time i'm usually this excited for a record it turns out to be total shit, but the dizzee album wasn't and the rapture album wasn't, so maybe i'm all turned around on this!

People's love of Basement Jaxx on here never fails to make me surprised. (It's the same with Daft Punk, though I can kinda 'see it' more with them.)

Headlining that Alex James/Jamie Oliver festival, aren't they? The one where the former will be photographed with Cameron and Clarkson and the latter will play drums for Toploader.

― djh, Thursday, 8 August 2013 23:13 (ten years ago) link

Mind you, they could redeem themselves by playing a conceptual show about the wonderfulness of the NHS.

― djh, Thursday, 8 August 2013 23:14 (ten years ago) link

ha well, that's kind of what happens when you suddenly become super terrible

didn't this happen circa 2001?

― the late great, Thursday, 8 August 2013 23:18 (ten years ago) link

No results found for "Amish Techno Fan".

― Tim F, Thursday, 8 August 2013 23:20 (ten years ago) link

I sort of feel like they've forgotten how amazing a vibe and friction you can generate just by looping a few carefully selected elements over one another.

remember house music?

― the late great, Thursday, 8 August 2013 23:57 (ten years ago) link

Yes, but the greatness of "Same Old Show" (my favourite BJ tune) and "Flylife" are not antithetical to the greatness of Rooty and Kish Kash except for an insane prince of false binaries

― Tim F, Friday, 9 August 2013 00:20 (ten years ago) link

so what you're saying is i'm insane to dislike rooty and kish kash

not sure what the false binary is here, i mean i guess "basement jaxx were good when doing house music and not so good when not doing house music" is sort of a binary but it's more a matter of taste than a matter of logic

― the late great, Friday, 9 August 2013 03:01 (ten years ago) link

so what you're saying is i'm insane to dislike rooty and kish kash

jokes bruv.

I feel like what we see with BJ's development is much more of a typical arc where an artist comes up with a distinctive take on genre X, then gradually detaches that which is distinctive from the specific genre form such that it can be deployed in a variety of settings, but it's like from that point onwards a clock starts ticking and the shelf-life of the production aesthetic is limited when trying to survive out there all on its ownsome.

So, sure, in Kish Kash (less so Rooty which is still mostly house and barely less genre-loyalist then Remedy) you can see the seeds of their subsequent deterioration, but to describe everything after Remedy as super-terrible seems to me the equivalent of dismissing all techstep ever because it got super-boring after a while.

― Tim F, Friday, 9 August 2013 07:11 (ten years ago) link

three weeks pass...

Feel certain that if Cameron is seen boogying to Basement Jaxx with Alex 'n' Jamie 'n' Clarkson that should be enough to finish him off.

― djh, Sunday, 1 September 2013 22:45 (ten years ago) link

eleven months pass...

I know there hasn't been a good Basement Jaxx album in a decade but this new one... isn't bad at all. It's like all the developments in British dance music over the past two years have given them license to jump back on their own bandwagon rather than just churning out another aimless pick-and-mix record.

Only halfway through, mind, it may yet fall off a cliff.

― Matt DC, Wednesday, 27 August 2014 19:34 (nine years ago) link

It does fall off a cliff, unfortunately.

― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 19:49 (nine years ago) link

What's the News is pushing my buttons in a good way. How much longer before I get to the cliff?

― Everyone's a closet ned. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 27 August 2014 20:25 (nine years ago) link

You're right on the precipice.

be that as it may, i am deeply infatuated with mermaid of salinas which gets stuck in my head on a nearly daily basis

The first half of this album feels like they took every song on Scars that didn't work and woodsheded them into something good-to-awesome

Nothing new, afaik, but I was listening to "Kish Kash" and one of my kids said "this sounds like flying monkeys crossed with Bollywood," and I said OTM, and she said that was not a compliment.

― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 31 August 2020 00:02 (three years ago) link

But are your kids at least using words like "OTM"?

― MarkoP, Monday, 31 August 2020 00:36 (three years ago) link

no.
