I got tickets at the door, but yeah, there were tons of people there. Left after Nite Jewel cuz I had a birthday party to go to and there was still a line around the corner.

yeah i was there--small venue, long line, etc.
thought nite jewel was great & i liked the new stuff. didnt stay for glass candy but dmr said they were really good.

they can come off a little serious on their recordings sometimes but live they're a total party band, really fun set. first or second song I think was Digital Versicolor and the stage filled up with people dancin, the bouncers came and cleared them off afterward but the band was into it. they closed with a weird hip-hoppy version of Iko Iko using the Isaac Hayes loop from that Geto Boys song
at one point toward the end of their set I checked the time on my phone and was like 3:48AM WHAT THE SHIT but I forgot it automatically shoots ahead for daylight savings. lol

also it was cool to hear House of House loud. can't remember what else Mike S. played except Hall n Oates "I Can't Go For That" right after Nite jewel got done
― dmr, Monday, 9 March 2009 03:18 (fifteen years ago) link
i thought the bottin track w/the video (no static) was just ok. pretty good, but didn't blow my mind, but then i heard the other tracks on his myspace and damn. really great. especially Horror Disco makes me appreciate no static way more and i'm totally looking forward to his album.

yess. he played this out in sf too, and i officially lost my shit. not sure i was 100% coherent, but pretty sure i remember lots of acid house tracks being played as well

did i already tell this story? when sweeney was in sf and played house of house, i typed into my cellphone and handed it to simonetti and it said "tell tim house of house is played out already"
― (jaxon) ( .) ( .) (jaxon), Sunday, 15 March 2009 17:18 (fifteen years ago) link
haha, played out in online mixes/podcasts maybe. hearing it in a club and dancing to it was fun/new for me.
but yeah, it was sweeney wasn't it?
― all-seeing eye of horus (psychgawsple), Sunday, 15 March 2009 18:18 (fifteen years ago) link
oh, it was all jokes. i was so stoked to hear it loud.

I ordered that Desire CD and just got it. I love it, but I think I'm a blind IDIB fanatic.It's got bits of Chromatics, Glass Candy, and Farah (there's some 'spoken word'-y bits that sound exactly like her, really) - all the Johnny Jewel stuff. I still hope they put the Twisted Wires and Bottin songs out digitally; I haven't heard them yet. What else do they have coming out?
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 12:59 (fifteen years ago) link
another nite jewel 12" i think?

digging the twisted wires stuff ive heard so far, they were pg when i saw them at lpr but didnt leave a huge impression

not sure about releases but there's a tiedye / rune lindbaek edit up on the blog. downloadin now
― dmr, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 15:59 (fifteen years ago) link
you can hear all the Bottin tracks on his myspace fwiw. there's a video for No Static on youtube

famous internet blog discohorror located at http://discohorror.blogspot.com has an exclusive bottin remix of a codebreaker track up right now
― rip dom passantino 3/5/09 never forget (max), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:03 (fifteen years ago) link
by "exclusive" i mean "not exclusive at all"
that tiedye/linbaek edit from simonettis blog is nice btw
I was wrong - the Twisted Wires 12" is now on iTunes as of this week... sounds great. There's also a Tiedye remix of a DJ Kaos song on there, too, which sounds nice.
I wonder whatever became of Farah - I loved those tracks on the comp.
(I realize almost every single one of my questions can be easily answered with Googling; I just creepily like to keep this thread around)
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Tuesday, 26 May 2009 16:50 (fifteen years ago) link
^^^^ This. She was supposed to have a full-length disc released by the label, I think.
Related: Since the initial "big" three IDIB discs debuted on eMusic (the comp, the Chromatics and Glass Candy), nothing but two singles plus an odd-and-sods collection from Glass Candy. I'm just bummed eMusic hasn't received more from the label.

There's an Italians Do It Better night this coming Thursday at Koko in London: Glass Candy / Twisted Wires / Desire / Lindstrom / Mike Simonetti...
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Sunday, 7 June 2009 11:32 (fifteen years ago) link
Is anyone going to this tonight?
― Shannon Whirry & the Bad Brains, Thursday, 11 June 2009 12:21 (fifteen years ago) link
I was just about to post the same thing.
Yes. Really looking forward to it.
I was expecting people to, given the size of the Lindstrom thread, and the Glass Candy one.
Still not heard Desire or Twisted Wires.
Still tickets left, by the wayhttp://www.ticketweb.co.uk/user/?region=gb_london&query=detail&event=319541&interface=koko

gotta say i'm not really feeling this desire record. the production is actually kinda lame, and the vocalist sorta gets in the way of any potentially great moments
― psychgawsple, Wednesday, 17 June 2009 04:30 (fourteen years ago) link
JESUS CHRIST THE DESIRE CD HAS NINE SONGS ON THE BACK AND EIGHT TRACKS
Going by Itunes and the lengths of songs on their Myspace player, I think "Oxygene" just doesn't appear on the album despite being listed. I'll have to listen to the demo of the song on Myspace once I've heard the album and see if I heard it somewhere...
Ah well. At least it's not FSOL's goddamn Dead Cities.
― Telephone thing, Sunday, 19 July 2009 04:48 (fourteen years ago) link
are you sure you havent picked up the 8 track sampler simonetti was punting from his blog? Different versions of the tracks. ive probably listened to the desire record more than anything else this year. Not really straying far from the chromatics/glass candy sound but the quality of the actual songs and vocals really blasts in into space
― straightola, Sunday, 19 July 2009 09:49 (fourteen years ago) link
"Oxygene" isn't listed on the tracklisting on any of the download versions of the album eg http://www.junodownload.com/ppps/products/1442354-02.htm
Haven't bought this yet but I really enjoy the rest of the Italians Do It Better stuff.

― dmr, Monday, 9 March 2009 03:17 (5 months ago)
from the IDIB blog:
Wednesday, August 05, 2009Glass Candy "Geto Boys" 12" OUT NOWAfter months of mastering issues (the bass was so heavyit was making the needle jump), legal issues, and remixingissues. We are excited to say that the Glass Candy "Geto Boys"12" is finally in stock. And even better...it's a double A side.They've Been destroying this song on tour all year. Samplesthe hip hop classic "Mind Playing Tricks On Me" from Houstonlegends, GETO BOYS (who sampled Isaac Hayes). The flip sideof the record features the Deep Gems burner "AnimalImagination". If that wasn't enough, the record contains 12"instrumental versions and vocal edits of both songs. <<<
LOL!

Wait I thought that's been released for like a year???!?!?! Or is this just a remaster? Wha...?

It was out on a CD but now it's a 12".
― CosMc (Raw Patrick), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 22:27 (fourteen years ago) link
the bass on IKO IKO is much heavier than on GETO BOYZ imho.

huh! never heard the CD version. that show was the first time I've seen em live. probably gonna see em again on Saturday at Brooklyn Bowl

oooops it's next Saturday. durr
we did end up bowling tho!
― dmr, Sunday, 6 September 2009 14:47 (fourteen years ago) link
what you score? I bowled for the first time in like 8 years last week for a bachelor party at chelsea piers...scored 123 on my game! The fun thing though with the new hi-tech systems that record the speed is seeing how fast you can bowl. I broke 20 mph.

I am in New York next week and am looking forward to that Brooklyn Bowl show.
― CosMc (Raw Patrick), Sunday, 6 September 2009 16:57 (fourteen years ago) link
wish I could sell you my tix, I'll be out of town! I don't think I can though, it's will call and you have to show ID/credit card. argh. should be a good show. they were fun at LPR.
dan I think I got a 102 on my first game, worse on my second. Brooklyn Bowl is pretty cool, it's such a big space. huge dance floor / stage area adjacent to the lanes (and people actually danced), big bar area, there's a restaurant in there ...
long wait for a lane but probably wouldn't be too bad on a weeknight.
