the drums sound weird and crap in that rip though. god i fucking hate low-quality mp3s, why do people do them? still?
i don't think i've actually heard a decent quality version of this song which is REALLY ANNOYING.

Apparently it is You dated my daughter. Which I understood as some wacky "Lolita" thing. But it also fits with line "the chromosones match." Still a bit confused as to the actual message of the song, not that it really matters though. Maybe some sort of: "Well, we can use our branes but the chemicals always take over and science will never really be able to catch up." Something like that. I think it's an ace song. The remixes on the ep are bit meh though.

I quite like the video. Sure, it's not very deep, but I think she's aware of herself/her image and jokes about it all.

it so is not!

doesn't sound like it.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:17 (sixteen years ago) link
i'm sure she'd return to that, in the lyrics, if that's what she meant. it would have some effect on the basic story she's telling(?)
"mamaaaa, just kill the haaaaam"
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.

It's fremme neppa my daughter.

yeah v probably -- i've noticed this consistency with other misprints.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
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.
― Alba, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
you're dating my daughter my sister my daughter my sister
― Jordan, Tuesday, 7 August 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
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!

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

i think it's "you're dating my data".

i do that.
but it kind of makes sense, her data is her "dna data" or something?

A ruthlessly sealed promo with dark DO NOT RIP THIS CD warnings arrived late last week.

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

The new single's clip on myspace certainly has me anticpating, I like the Groove Armada guy's remix of it too, christ.

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

album has some serious highs and lows. on balance i think herbert's absence is pretty obvious.

I've kind of lost interest in the others songs on the EP though.
― dem bow dem bow need calcium (seandalai), Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:33 (nine years ago) link
didn't think 'Still You' could be improved for me but now hearing it not as an original but as something between a cover of 'Ancora Tu' and a song about 'Ancora Tu' and the memories associated with it adds a very sweet something.
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:40 (nine years ago) link
OTM. Another thing I love about "Still You": it kind of sounds like they're chatting and jamming totally naturally over a recording of the original that's playing somewhere in the background. Shares a niche in my brain-catalogue with "Into the Groovey".

The "Mi Senti" EP is fantastic. 'Pensiero Stupendo' is just really warm and intimate. Really like the conversational and vampy tone of 'Ancora tu'.
I had no idea this was out there but thanks to random search on Spotify tonight for Roisin Murphy this came up. Really great.
