eyad dj's with rob on tuesdays at kitsch... marc's been around a while... sunday's i'm usually thinking of mondays so i don't get out much on a sunday night. at any rate... i am know your kitsch friends by name and can envision a very dim sillouhette... i'm sure
knowing mutual people it's highly likely that we cannot avoid meeting up at some point.
not the least of which is to do with the fact that i am seriously fucking excited about this
MoM Junior Boys show.

Yeah, I'll doubtless find a way up for that -- so wait, you live around here, Costa Mesa or the nearby area? We must indeed talk.

So you're around on Tuesdays generally? Often I'm busy those evenings but I might be free tonight, so if you see someone who looks like me in the middle distance feel free to introduce yourself.

Ned now you must release an introspective solo album called The Middle Distance, which bears a cover of your in an overcoat standing on the beach on a particularly gray day, looking out into the water.

i live in mission viejo... but the only thing ever to do around here is karaoke at this dive bar down the street, so i mostly wind up at kitsch, avalon, detroit or la cave... like most...
work is quite hellish right now so i'm not gonna make it tonight as i'll be at my office til
probably 10 or 11 tonight ... will almost certainly be there next week though...
rob and eyad spin mostly stuff that would be talked about
on ILM though, minus the electronic contingent. i'm sure you'd be into it.
i seem to recall from an earlier thread that you were described as a lou barlow looking
fellow, so i'll keep my eyes open.
dave is almost always there too.

I do that by implication.

Hahah -- the more so because I'm *NOT* a Sebadoh fan at all. ;-)

(soaring vox)
Introduuuuce yourself
If you should happen to seeee
Someone who looks like me
(hushed vox)
in the middle distance...

Not enough beats.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:34 (nineteen years ago) link

wait for the remix

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah but it's MY album, punk. And I'll be damned if I sound like a Chris Martin Unplugged album.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:37 (nineteen years ago) link

what ever happened to that kylie cover?

― m. (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:38 (nineteen years ago) link

not enough:

Hurrah!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I like the implication of a Ned Raggett "solo album" that he's currently occupied with a band.

― Gear! (Gear!), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, there ARE the spoken word efforts...but those are fairly minimal.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

So what's the deal with MoM?

― Jordan (Jordan), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:21 (nineteen years ago) link

they're touring and junior boys (yay!) and ratatat (boo!) are opening

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 19:23 (nineteen years ago) link

mitch - Kylie was very excited by their cover.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:20 (nineteen years ago) link

ooooh

― jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:30 (nineteen years ago) link

not sure her enthusiasm would be shared by EMI, they didn't care what paul mccartney thought when he spoke up for dangermouse.

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 10:40 (nineteen years ago) link

an interview i haven't read but which has a nice picture of the boys

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:44 (nineteen years ago) link

also recently - Omar wrote an interesting piece

― nick.K (nick.K), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 11:51 (nineteen years ago) link

That first interview is pretty bad.

― hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 12:32 (nineteen years ago) link

According to the Domino website, their version of Last Exit will have a second disc. Having tantalized me with this tidbit, Domino then fail to publish the tracklisting of the second disc (they are consistent; they've not listed what's on the Ulrich Schnauss bonus disc, either). Does anyone have info about the tracklisting of the second disc?

― paul c (paul c), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 18:52 (nineteen years ago) link

Jesus, you guys sure are enthusiastic bout these fellas.
Could anyone drop me a track in my inbox? I'm curious.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 19:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, MoM = Mouse on Mars = I R an idiot (but even more excited about this show).

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 19:27 (nineteen years ago) link

"Teach Me How to Fight" is really amazing. It's the most New Order-y and the chorus synth line sounds a bit like "Elegia".

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Great interview, http://www.usounds.com/mt/archives/000309.html

― Frenchie, Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost:
...and of course the chorus-ed bass toward the end.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 23:29 (nineteen years ago) link

er, sorry, in THIS emailbox. if you could please.
Thanks ever so.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 26 August 2004 01:28 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm very happy this tour is coming to my humble town.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 26 August 2004 01:29 (nineteen years ago) link

"Elegia"

I love that song..

― hector (hector), Thursday, 26 August 2004 02:11 (nineteen years ago) link

I like these guys. One or both of them went to my University, but I think it was years after me. A couple of Hamilton boys making good, it's nice to see.

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Thursday, 26 August 2004 05:56 (nineteen years ago) link

forksclovetofu - there are still hi-quality audio streams on the site if you need to hear some.

two weeks pass...

sorry zem, but this is really really good.

― cºzen (Cozen), Saturday, 11 September 2004 18:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Congrats Junior Boys - "Birthday" is on Sander Kleinenberg's new Renaissance mix This Is Everybody Too - which should introduce the band to a whole new fanbase of prog house heads! (too be fair, Sander always seems to have been surprisingly open-minded and wide-ranging)

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 24 September 2004 12:53 (nineteen years ago) link

The US release of the album apparently has a bonus disc with all the bsides from the singles on it.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Friday, 24 September 2004 19:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Those bastards.

I still don't know if I'm going to see them tonight.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 24 September 2004 19:45 (nineteen years ago) link

they were in town on Wednesday and i couldn't get anyone to go with me :(

― Dave M. (rotten03), Friday, 24 September 2004 19:56 (nineteen years ago) link

You are wise and good.

this is the line i always use when making fun of NR but until now i wasn't aware he had actually used it!

in any event, the JB are amazing

"I'm gonna wash my hands real slow"

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

hell, I'M even a fan now. Beats Sade.

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Am: do you want to go see them with me? They're playing Oct. 29 at Logan Sq. Auditorium with Mouse on Mars.

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:45 (nineteen years ago) link

I find that this is the perfect soundtrack to going home kinda tipsy on a night bus/tram.

― Baaderoni (Fabfunk), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:46 (nineteen years ago) link

that's the night after i take the gre's. we'll see how i'm feeling.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:47 (nineteen years ago) link

OK!

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:47 (nineteen years ago) link

what will i think of mouse on mars? i always confuse them with modest mouse

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:48 (nineteen years ago) link

did I tell you that Kyl1e is a now major JBz fan.. she fell for their 'slow' cover, but I'm not sure EMI would feel the same way.

― nick.K (nick.K), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:48 (nineteen years ago) link

i don't know what modest mouse sound like either

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Sunday, 3 October 2004 22:50 (nineteen years ago) link
