elan, i know that, but thanks for nitpicking nonetheless.
do you think they are synonymous? cologne and berlin are between 5-6 hours apart: http://goo.gl/maps/EDPS

I can't find any other evidence of a DDM "Cherish the Day" cover????
From lex's article:
This year saw Diddy-Dirty Money both dedicate a whole song to her on the LoveLove vs. HateLove mixtape (the hypnotisingly sleek Sade) and cover two of Sade's own most epic cuts, No Ordinary Love and Cherish The Day.
Rev- Pretty sure that should be "Soldier of Love", not "Cherish the Day".
― lurking off (lou), Tuesday, 24 May 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
oh i had no idea what rev was talking about, never seen it abbreviated to DDM before and had been under the impression that i typed "soldier of love" as i obviously meant to
can you tell which bits of my articles are done at 4am lol

A "Cherish The Day" cover would be AWESOME though, I love that song so so so so so much.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 23:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Having said that the transition to "Soldier of Love" in the "No Ordinary Love" "cover" is so smooth, I don't think I even registered what they were doing until the third listen.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 24 May 2011 23:02 (thirteen years ago) link
i'd love to see them do "pearls". recasting "hurts like brand new shoes" into the pained superstar narrative would work soooo well
― the smoke cloud of pure hatred (lex pretend), Tuesday, 24 May 2011 23:20 (thirteen years ago) link
You don't think that would actually be borderline icky?
I'm not the kind who hates celebrities for being rich and famous but I'm not sure Diddy is best placed to be saying what life is like for a woman in Somalia.
Or are you saying they should junk that part and make it, like, "there is a woman in Beverley Hills... who's just bought a pair of pearls..."?
That might be worse, IDK?
― Tim F, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 00:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, that would be kind of shitty either way imo.
― skot gigz - moombah pimpin' (The Reverend), Wednesday, 25 May 2011 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
err, is Sade really better placed than Diddy to comment on global injustice? Not saying she can't but I don't really see why that would be a problem if Diddy were to do it.

I just don't want that song to be any more ~pained superstar narrative~ than it already is.

so it sounds like Stronger Than Pride is the one I should move in now, even though I love the "The Sweetest Taboo-Never As Goood as the First Time" duo more than any children I'll have.

There is a lovely Kenny Larkin remix of Give It Up you can find on the Sade remixes collection. It's great. 11 minutes. I just start it over when it's done. Usually don't stop listening until it's time to leave the apt or whatever. Hoping for a gig soon where I can drop it.
Larkin was probably the best Detroit techno artist to do a straight beefing up of the song (as opposed to a Carl Craig style remix that would just use the original track as inspiration or a jumping off point). I mean it's basically just an extended DJ tool version of the song. Not much added. Larkin always sounds so fragile and fussy to me... he sort of fills an archetypal emotional / spacey / gentle Detroit sound for me. Like Craig's More Songs About Food and Revolutionary Art. I guess Craig did it first as Psyche/BFC.
Larkin has his own niche though. I think it's the gratuitous flanging. Give It Up's percussion basically sounds like something Larkin would have arranged minus a kick drum and slower.
Eh, I'm talking out of my ass. Give It Up (Kenny Larkin remix) is just so perfect that it sounds like has to be part of some bigger order of Detroit music...

Okay here it is. On one condition: don't listen unless you can play it loud, with bass.

What's up with the hipster vogue for Sade these days? I mean, I like Sade somewhat, but I always thought it was basically fuck/dinner-music for yuppies. Like my parents love Sade, for instance. Then all of a sudden a year and a half ago or so my best friend - who's so effortlessly cool it's infuriating - was talking about how Sade is awesome. And I was like, OK, sure, but I didn't quite get where the love was coming from. Is it the (outmoded genre label alert!) trip-hop connection or something?

― The Edge of Gloryhole (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, I know that - in fact, it seemed like the critical consensus/cliche regarding Sade for years. I'm just wondering what instigated the critical reevaluation, and why it came from the cool people. (in other words, non-"bros", heheh.)
― thewufs, Thursday, 16 June 2011 04:24 (thirteen years ago) link
ha i had no idea "still in love with you" was a cover. all three new tracks on the ultimate collection are superb imo.
i don't know how much of a critical consensus it was really, sade's always been revered in dance/hip-hop/r&b/soul circles.
― the smoke cloud of pure hatred (lex pretend), Thursday, 16 June 2011 07:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Umm everybody I know who thinks about Sade at all has considered her a great artist since at least stronger than pride, when it was new. I don't think any critical reevaluation has taken place, you just found out that people think she is great.
