This really was a thing to see and I wish I hadn't needed to get some sleep so I could've watched him over the final couple of hours. Good work, fella.

ah, I went to the last concert he did before this, in the same venue, the previous week.
it was pretty nice and roughly a rehearsal for this (he played there 8 sundays in a row before the attempt).
Must have been a nightmare to play/talk for so long... how was he by the end ? how long did he last ?

AleXTC, Monday, 18 May 2009 12:41 (fifteen years ago) link

he stopped after 27 hours. i watched the last two; he was full of energy and smiling and playing really well. didn't seem fazed at all. it was fun to watch.

AleXTC, Monday, 18 May 2009 14:02 (fifteen years ago) link

Did he stop to go to the bathroom?

Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Monday, 18 May 2009 14:39 (fifteen years ago) link

there was a little party at the end, lots of cheering and streamers and stuff... i don't know what the last tune was, but it was really great. xp yes he had a little pause every three hours or so apparently!

william snakespeare (braveclub), Monday, 18 May 2009 14:41 (fifteen years ago) link

The cover of Jamie Lidell's "Multiply" is just fucking incredible.

Amazing how much of this I remember from the performance two months ago.

James Mitchell, Friday, 31 July 2009 23:13 (fourteen years ago) link

girls just wanna have mixtapes (Masonic Boom), Monday, 21 September 2009 11:16 (fourteen years ago) link

Has it been officially released yet? Or is it just on Errol's 6music mix thing?

James Mitchell, Monday, 21 September 2009 11:43 (fourteen years ago) link

Just on the 6mix for now, but he said it was coming out (on 10" vinyl no less! curse that man for getting me back into buying vinyl) on Boys Noize records in, erm, November, I think?

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it's a lot better than I was expecting.

surge gainsbourg protector (haitch), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 01:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Yawn. Call me back when they release a super awesome deluxe version of the Solo Piano sheet music book with "Salon Saloon" on it.

He's not a young man anymore, and this could be his last chance.

Playing a residency at La Pigalle in London starting November 4th with Jarvis Cocker.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT SALON SALOON.

Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 30 December 2009 04:37 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah Salon Saloon is lovely, Mr. Snrub

Salvador Dali Parton (Turangalila), Wednesday, 30 December 2009 04:42 (fourteen years ago) link

Really looking forward to 'Ivory Tower'.

James Mitchell, Friday, 19 February 2010 12:06 (fourteen years ago) link

What is the song being played between "Touch It" "Dangerous" and "A Milli"? According to the tracklist it's "Vocal Chords" by Claude Vonstroke, but that's bullshit.

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link

'Never Stop', a song off Ivory Tower, is on the Boyz Noise Myspace page. It's, err, understated.

Everyone says they will not first turn
In France we are cheaters - is wrong
Never mind me I got our message of love
it comes straight from our hearts
Because we do not care that you typed whores
The most important thing is that you mark for goals!

James Mitchell, Thursday, 17 June 2010 08:57 (thirteen years ago) link

haha love google trans.

lyrics are

Everybod'ys saying we won't get past the first round
that in france we're all cheaters
that's bad
but it doesn't matter - i got our message of love
that comes straight from our hearts
we don't give a damn that you're screwing whores
cuz the most important is that you score goals

Boysnoize Records proudly presents CHILLY GONZALES’ latest stunt “I AM EUROPE”, lead-single to the highly anticipated album IVORY TOWER (produced by BOYS NOIZE) which will be released worlwide in August through CHILLY GONZO´s own imprint GENTLE THREAT.

I AM EUROPE is not only a lyrical genius, it sends you on a disco – ride, building up and breaking down to finally echo the great entertainer´s mind about “Europe”, a “Toilet with no seat, flushing tradition down”.

is the chess movie going to come on a DVD with the album, or do they actually have some Canadian/French releases or TV screenings lined up?

good news, the original is one of my favourite mood-pieces

Mexès Coleslaw Massacre (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 June 2012 09:06 (eleven years ago) link

indeed - if I knew how to, I'd probably be able to whistle the entirety of that album.

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 21 June 2012 09:32 (eleven years ago) link

I'm also excited for this. Chilly Gonzales is so cool.

bamcquern, Thursday, 21 June 2012 11:23 (eleven years ago) link

Lovely lovely album...makes you wonder why he hid his Light under a bushel for so long...
