why would they come all the way over to canada and not come to the states?

they're coming to seattle and if they're gonna be here surely they'll hit SF.

End Up, San Francisco San Francisco

max is number 1 facebook fan of quiet village

yeaaaaahhhhhhh

also facebook friends with prins thomas suckaaaa

just heard another sample source from the album. the original to Gold Rush is 'Buffalo' by Writing on the Wall.

Isn't something like June 8 2008 3:45A more realistic for the End Up?

i don't like that place. the doorpeople took my weed TWICE (not joking)

plus it's just kind of greasy and gross

imo

u don't say

btw SF folks, Amoeba will have this - INCLUDING VINYL - in stock for release date tomorrow. call the store, ask for mike bee, and i will hold it for you if necessary. can't buy til tomorrow though.

ppl who are into this would dig Air France i think

if you're hating on 'pacific rhythm' you're nuts. vocoder parts are awesome.

patrin review on pfork is characteristically terrible

it's blatant Tarantino bait that sounds like Hendrix's Band of Gypsys after developing some kind of Italian soundtrack fetish,

^^^writing very much in character

i was more offended by the way "i only loved this cheap and tacky 80s schmaltz when i figured out it's actually the o'jays" was rubbing up against "no wait, i really really do like this cheap and tacky 80s schmaltz, it's like having jodie foster blow crack smoke up my ass while we watch miami vice reruns"

pick your lazy cliches carefully and make sure they don't negate each other

i walked into the record store today looking to buy a copy of silent movie and instead i walked out with a used copy of "STEPPENWOLF: GOLD". can you smell it?

loving this. for some reason i missed all the WEWW singles - only heard the remixes - so it's all fairly fresh.

v, do steppenwolf really have enough good trax for a two-disc compilation??

not really!

LP arrived in the mail from !K7 yesterday.

only liner notes: "All songs written and produced by Joel Martin and Matt Edwards"

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? did they not license *any* of it?

i know right? i loled.

Am I stupid for not going to the record release party tonight because I had some friends at my house?

I thought we could listen to it at my place. Which we didn't. And now I'm having second thoughts.

O SHIT

quiet village RA mix!

RA mix pretty dull. :(

haha isnt quiet village's schtick "hip dullness"? or do you mean dull in another way

i went to see the live gig in mtl the other night just expecting a laptop gig, but it was actually a really lovely audio visual set. can't really tell if they do anything to the tunes themselves (don't have the record yet), it is definitely laptoppage but they've put together a series of visuals (spliced movie scenes) to go with the songs. my advice if you go to see this is stand at the front . also they've added more gigs to their myspace ... think they are at cielo in nyc tonite.

nice, they'll be in SF this saturday. thanks for the heads up

mutek cheaped out on the screens a bit. the focus is totally on the visuals and sound. matt and joel sit off to the side.

(^^^ all that other stuff on stage was for the next act)

no idea what they'll do at the End Up, it's a tweeky dance club

yeah, i mean, i think that as qv those guys might still be figuring out exactly what the best way to present themselves is, in a 'live' setting. i guess where the focus has been on radio slave as producer/ remixer/ dj and on joel martin as a dj (very straight forward things) ... this sample based creation is totally different. i had no idea what to expect going into it but i left thinking how they did it made total sense. it was a splice and dice soundtrack to a splice and dice movie, and i found that presented in that way it was more engaging and absorbing than listening to just the tracks themselves. (then again, other than the 12 i have i've just been streaming them off myspace)

(hmmm i just reminded myself that this is quite similar to what in flagranti does with those little vids on the codek site, which i also like)

let me guess they used jodorowsky and kubric and bunuel and ... who else?

They used those but claimed that they'd shot the films themselves.

mutek cheaped out on the screens a bit

that doesn't look like "cheaping out" compared to what I saw, Cielo had one teeeny teeeny screen going

let me guess they used jodorowsky and kubric and bunuel and ... who else?

you would think so wouldn't you? clever people. hehe. the 2 that i know of are sort of funny actually, not art school at all.

ouch bummer. i said cheaping out just cuz it was like, some big pieces of bristol board cobbled together

neat mix ...

spotting has already started at djh if anyone's curious about the tracklisting

can't really tell if they do anything to the tunes themselves

I think it's pretty much just playing the record, I didn't notice any differences

at the same time I'm still glad I went to the "show" because I had never been to Cielo and the sound there is pretty sick and the movie was funny/cool

also it inspired me to get the record and there's some really nice stuff among the non-early-leaked bits namely the vocoder on Pacific Rhythm and the vocals on Keep On Rollin

also I had never heard Francois K dj before and it was pretty cool! the Quiet Village thing was kind of the "opening act" at Deep space

he does that

i tried to check out radio slave there last year and missed his set cuz i didn't realize he was opening

although qv opened at mutek too and i was totally expecting them to be on at like, 4:30 or something

somehow I timed it pretty good, I was paying to get in and the first part of victoria's secret came on
