Oh yeah Durutti Column on course. I just said The Church because the bit where bass comes in reminds me of their "Ricochet".

Thanks a lot, Tim! Much appreciated.

Ahh, still a bit starry eyed :) Oh transience, you haven't got me yet.

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0001XAQ32.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

tattooed on my stomach.

before i do this, does anybody know if that is the symbal for anything?

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:00 (nineteen years ago) link

It'll be the symbol for slight craziness. (Trust me, I appreciate the impulse.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:02 (nineteen years ago) link

i've always loved that symbol and that album and band. And given their relative obscurity i thought it would be a nice idea.

my first tattoo, btw.

― Hari A$hur$t (Toaster), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:05 (nineteen years ago) link

On your stomach though? Isn't that like the first thing to go eventually?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 January 2005 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

i have really small arms though, and they will probably get bigger and warm any future tattoos.

― jake b. (cerybut), Monday, 10 October 2005 09:17 (eighteen years ago) link

your mother wasn't embarassed when i played her 'Love's Stepping Out' and took her under the silky moonlight.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 December 2005 06:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I still need an original CD single copy of The Last Dance if anyone's seen one, y'know, hanging around.

Yes, definitely- been dying to hear the EPs. I'll email my address, thanks!

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Friday, 2 December 2005 02:46 (eighteen years ago) link

I hope the offer is still good.

― van igloo (van smack), Friday, 2 December 2005 04:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Ned! You're a champ. got the cd yesterday.

I listened to it on my commute to LA. Awesome stuff

― van igloo (van smack), Friday, 9 December 2005 03:58 (eighteen years ago) link

:-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 10 December 2005 02:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I just got my Disco Inferno CD this afternoon, courtesy of Ned. I came to D.I. by way of "D.I. Go Pop" so, from what I gather, kind of backwards. I've read to that after hearing the EPs, "D.I. Go Pop" makes more sense. "D.I. Go Pop" made perfect "sense" to me, so the EPs sound equally good on first impression. Thanks, Ned!

― skoolbus39 (skoolbus39), Saturday, 10 December 2005 02:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Yez is welcome. Any favorite songs in particular yet?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 10 December 2005 07:21 (eighteen years ago) link

So far... "From The Devil To The Deep Blue Sky," "D.I. Go Pop" (I'm a sucker for sounds bending in and out of pitch), and "It's A Kid's World." I'm not as impressed with the "Second Language" EP, but everything else is top-notch!

― skoolbus39 (skoolbus39), Saturday, 10 December 2005 16:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Ned, is that offer still good?

― js (honestengine), Saturday, 10 December 2005 18:49 (eighteen years ago) link

It is a permanent standing offer. Drop me your address via e-mail.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 10 December 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess I'm the only person to prefer 'DI Go Pop' to the EPs?

― I.M. (I.M.), Saturday, 10 December 2005 20:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Ned, you are a great man.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 10 December 2005 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

It's just something that has to be done, really.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 10 December 2005 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Received today, Ned. Many thanks! I think you emailed the tracklisting, but I haf lost it oh no! Any chance you could post it again, or e-mail me? Sorry to be an arse.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 December 2005 13:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Wait - I have it!! Ignore previous.

― Dr.C, Monday, 12 December 2005 13:45 (eighteen years ago) link

not impressed with second language, yeesh ...

IM sometimes i like DI GO POP better than the EPs; its more confrontational on the one hand but is also a nicely sequenced, compact album, which when im in the right mood is another advantage.

― js66676, Monday, 12 December 2005 16:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess I'm the only person to prefer In Debt to the EPs?

― Mr. Snrub, Monday, 12 December 2005 18:13 (eighteen years ago) link

I prefer In Debt too, but I can easily see why people prefer the EPs. There's just a lot more going on on most of the songs, and so many unique sounds. But the early stuff has more of an immediacy to it, and is closer to the balance I like in their music. I never got into some of the weirder songs on the EPs, like "From the Devil" and "Scattered Showers".

Oh poor Second Language EP... that is probably my favorite thing they did!

― Vinnie (vprabhu), Monday, 12 December 2005 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I never got into some of the weirder songs on the EPs, like "From the Devil" and "Scattered Showers".

You're fired. Er, wait. ;-)

It's odd about In Debt for me -- I played it to DEATH on original release (I was lucky enough to be in the UK shortly after it came out and though I'd not heard anything by them I had heard enough about them -- credit to Simon Price and David Stubbs in particular -- to know I would love it), but I haven't pulled it out for listening in years, despite my very high regard for many of those early songs. "Fallen Down the Wire" is in retrospect astonishingly underrated.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 December 2005 22:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Just received Ned's burned copy of the EPs this weekend. One of the things I think I like most about DI is, when I listen to their songs, my attention is sort of diffused across the track- there's no one element that my ears really train in on excessively. Although, having said that, there are some tracks where the guitar is just drop-dead gorgeous and it's hard not to just stand back (metaphorically) in wonder. Anyway, enjoying the EPs very much- thanks a ton, Ned.

― Kevin H (Kevin H), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Yer welcome!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 02:23 (eighteen years ago) link

My favorite song from the 5 eps, is probably "Love Stepping Out". A close second is "Scattered Showers" -- love the kitty moan.

― van igloo (van smack), Saturday, 17 December 2005 04:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Ned, I came across this thread before but I don't think I asked for candy before like I meant to. Can I have disco inferno candy please? It's the holidays.

I can boast posession of a handwritten letter from many years ago from Ian Crause but never mind. Please give me the candy.

― Halloween Spooky Party Hints! (Bimble...), Saturday, 17 December 2005 05:14 (eighteen years ago) link

If anyone's on Oink, I uploaded the 5 eps.

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Saturday, 17 December 2005 09:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Whatever happened to the D.I lyrics thread? we were so close to getting them all I felt.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Saturday, 17 December 2005 11:22 (eighteen years ago) link

i think the kitty moan is just the car sound sped up!?@?!?!?!??!?!?!?!>??!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!??!

― njksd, Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:15 (eighteen years ago) link

at some point i will also take you up on this one, ned. but it'll be next year. if you're ok with that?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Saturday, 17 December 2005 21:27 (eighteen years ago) link

I was just wondering what the availability of DI albums is?

I've been listening to DI Go Pop on and off for a year and it is clearly great and wanted to get hold of more stuff.

Technicolour having been re-released is probably get-able, whereas the EPS seem impossible to get from what I read here, what about the first album/In Debt?

― Rob Cameron, Sunday, 18 December 2005 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

i got in debt used off amazon.com for $2

― jk85558, Sunday, 18 December 2005 03:39 (eighteen years ago) link

at some point i will also take you up on this one, ned. but it'll be next year. if you're ok with that?

Only just noticed this -- the answer is 'not a problem.'

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 30 December 2005 01:30 (eighteen years ago) link

one month passes...

No, really Grimly, it isn't a problem. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 16:09 (eighteen years ago) link

heheheh. where was i over christmas? thanks, ned. let's DO THIS THANG. er: how do we go about it?

e-mail me :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 19:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks for all the information. I've got DI Go Pop, The Five EPs, and In Debt. Is Technicolour the only one left?

― Harpal (harpal), Thursday, 2 February 2006 11:25 (eighteen years ago) link

I have still never found an original CD copy of The Last Dance. This makes me sad.
