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.

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

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?

was that a real headline?

I bet the Coca Cola logo will be gone by the time this becomes an album cover.
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 11:40 (sixteen years ago) link
you could do a good 'spot the difference' contest with it
― blueski, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 11:57 (sixteen years ago) link
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
― StanM, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:05 (sixteen years ago) link
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!
― blueski, Tuesday, 21 August 2007 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link
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).
― blunt, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Overpowered
― Telephone thing, Saturday, 15 September 2007 10:28 (sixteen years ago) link
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?
― johnny crunch, Monday, 8 October 2007 00:51 (sixteen years ago) link
FOOTPRINTS. OH MAN...
― pisces, Monday, 8 October 2007 02:08 (sixteen years ago) link
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

Yeah, dear Miami is pretty fucking fantastic.

OTM. Primitive is pretty good too.
― baaderonixx, Tuesday, 16 October 2007 21:32 (sixteen years ago) link
While I haven't got the album yet to check the lyrics (please, god, let there be lyrics in the booklet, WHY DO PEOPLE IGNORE THIS SIMPLE NECESSITY) I'm pretty sure it's "your date on my data."

Thanks, JF. About time we had a proper thread for updates.

did she produce it too?
I believe the main producer is Eddie Stevens, who has worked with Murphy since Moloko days.
