It's not like the maxi for "Movie Star" was all over the place here in the US, so yeah...I'm a little late.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 05:14 (thirteen years ago) link
it was just an easy pun off yr name tbh
i remember hearing 'let me know' when i was visiting my sister in seattle, it was on the radio & at first i thought it was some lost cut from 'the perfect beats' tommy boy comps or something ... beat was super 80s electro, but the vocals were way more contemporary sounding ... tripped my shit up, esp when i didnt realize it was roisin so i was feeling it context-less. i was just like, 'what an inventive blend'

listening to this for the 1st time, very disorienting, cuz i keep hearing the ghost of ferry's original in the back of mind, as accompaniment. synth arpeggios & vox are very nice, but damn, it feels way too fast! want it to all crawl a bit more slavishly towards the feet of love. pace is less distressing during the verses.

"Momma's Place" is awesome!
― Filmmaker, Author, Radio Host Stephen Baldwin (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 14 July 2010 00:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Yep, it is, Alfred. I'm so eager for a proper follow-up to Overpowered.

Momma's Place is pretty awes, but Orally Fixated was straight bizarre (in a good way, imo).

ok holy shit, "Movie Star" is the best song I've heard in a while---this is my first listen to this album & this artist in fact---cannot stop playing "Movie Star" though
― Euler, Thursday, 12 August 2010 23:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Lots of better tracks on the album IMO. Have you got to "Dear Miami" yet?
― seandalai, Friday, 13 August 2010 00:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yes, I listened to it all, but "Movie Star" just hits all my spots. I'm open minded! I'll listen again...
― Euler, Friday, 13 August 2010 01:48 (thirteen years ago) link
"You Know Me Better" is the JAM.

movie star is pretty fuckin cool
― call all destroyer, Friday, 13 August 2010 02:09 (thirteen years ago) link
There's not a track on the album I don't like, but for me "Primitive" is the high water mark.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 13 August 2010 03:29 (thirteen years ago) link
so many great songs on this! you know me better, let me know, primitive, and tell everybody are prob my favs

"Cherry Picking" apparently being released wide on 12" vinyl today after just being limited on RSD. Still no sign of any digital offerings, though. >:(

Overpowered is the best pop record of the last half decade.

Munich label Permanent Vacation have sprung a surprise with the news they are releasing a 12″ from Irish singer Róisín Murphy.Entitled “Simulations”, the classic disco track has been floating around in demo form on YouTube since the end of 2011, and has been eagerly anticipated by Murphy’s army of slightly over enthusiastic fans. At the time it surfaced, the singer revealed that it was recorded with a “well-respected producer from Northern England” leading said fans to speculate over a reunion with her former Moloko partner in crime Mark Brydon.In fact, Murphy recorded the track with Steel City legend Richard Barratt, formerly one half of the iconic Bleep Techno act Sweet Exorcist alongside Richard H. Kirk and more recently responsible for some excellent, self styled “fraudulent disco” releases under the Crooked Man banner. It’s not the first time the two have worked together, with Murphy contributing vocals to the mid 90′s Grace Jones cover “Feel Up” Barrat produced under the Spook alias. If you are not familiar with Barratt’s story, we can heartily recommend this interview with him on the Faith: Strobelight Honey website.Murphy is no stranger to working alongside respected producers, with Mattew Herbert and Seiji tasked with behind the board duties on the two solo albums she has released to date, while she also been found providing vocals for artists as varied as David Morales, Toddla T, Mason and Crookers in recent years.The forthcoming 12″ is complemented with remixes from Murphy’s compatriot and Permanent Vacation regular Mano Le Tough and Eric Kupper – a man with more remix credits than we’ve had hot dinners.
