Dennis Wilson: Pacific Ocean Blue
Just come back from a mate's birthday get-together, went to a resturant and ate far too much. I should have stopped after the ribs in barbecue sauce, but I just had to go for the Chocolatey Hot Fudge Brownie Puke Inducer dessert. tasted lovely but now I feel as though I've just travelled back in time or something. I'm well out of it. I didn't think you could get drunk on food but I feel particularly wasted.

Radiohead-nobody does it better
I was listening to Massive Attack "100th Window" - I hadn't bothered to buy it because I'd heard it was crap, but I've just borrowed it from a friend and I'm going to have to get myself a copy. It's just finished though, and I haven't bothered to put anything else on yet...

Very, very nice album this is. 'What We've Won', 'Only Today' and 'Doublespeak' are my favourites, as is 'Season Song', very, very excellent indeed! Yay, i got the album for about five quid in London, i more or less POUNCED on it, which was a tad unnecessary, as there were about twenty copies on the shelf.
Oooo, 'Anna's Song', what a song.....making love.....all night long...

so true. personally, i love it in "i want you" when he whispers all sexy "sweet darling..." i just love that part. i'll have to play that drinking game, but all his songs are so horny i'll be all drunk and sexed up and want to fuck. i'll have to play with someone hot. now listening to "i want you" for the part i mentioned above.

themoodfits
05-04-2004, 22:35
cosmo vittelli is this i think italian guy who works with alot of those french producers. very good album. kind of electro meets stevie wonder with some really cool sexy computer balads on it. i say check it out. i've been listening to it alot lately. the richard x album is sooooooo good. kind of my version of pop music. some of it is like future r&b. some electro-ish stuff. i think most of the songs are either samples or covers altogether. he does a cover of the burt bacharach classic "walk on by" with deborah evans-strickland that is like a love song for sad robots. he samples "fade into you" by mazzy star and has jarvis cocker singing duet with hope and turns it into this weird future balad. such a cool album. not one bad song on it. i recommend it highly.

"how to bring a blush to the snow" is such a great song. and i'm obssessed with "lazy calm". i love how it just floats along on a breath and then out of nowhere drops on you and liz starts to sing. amazing song. i'm going to go put it on now.

Aww - I love that track! It's basically a quirky electro-house thing with some tasty samples breaks here and there and a spoken male vocal - some old scene has-been getting all worked up about losing it ;). Very catchy... in fact I'm going to have to listen to it now...
LCD Soundsystem is a solo project by James Murphy from DFA - I'm sure you know them moody, they're based in New York - Murphy is a native New-Yorker, I think (used to be part of the punk scene iirc), and I'm pretty sure Tim Goldsworthy is from the UK somewhere... They did a few good remixes (Metro Area was one I think), and produced The Rapture's album. That's about all I can think of at the moment...

LCD Soundsystem: "Losing My Edge"
LCD Soundsystem is Murphy's own project, and "Losing My Edge" is about 80% of why people have noticed DFA-- it's flown through the file-sharing ether not only on its strength as a killer track, but because it's something of a hipster in-joke as well. What's so amazing about it is how seamlessly Murphy's married both the sounds and the moods of rock and dance: the song opens with a hard-edged Casiotone groove, morphs perfectly across to fuzzed-out bass and live drums, and then heads straight back to banging electro.
Over a six-minute build, Murphy puts on his best deadpan and tell us all about his edge and how he's losing it. He "was there" at a 1968 Can gig; he was at the first Suicide rehearsals, the first Captain Beefheart sessions-- and now he can hear the encroaching footsteps of the kids, with their "borrowed nostalgia for the unremembered 80s." And right when the loose-limbed robot-rock seems ready to explode, he launches into a credit list-- This Heat, Althea and Donna, The Normal-- and a chord upsweep that either puts your hands in the air or bangs your head cedes to a diva refrain: "We all know what you really want." It's both hilarious and musically spot-on...
Jewel-the cold song

Oooooo, Mary! Lovely, lovely song. I love it. It's lovely.
Listening to From the Lion's Mouth by The Sound. I read a bit about this band a few years back, about how appallingly underrated they were back in the early eighties. This is meant to be their best album, and I only just managed to get my hands on it, and wow! Well worth the wait.
Sounds like a mix between Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and early U2. And it sounds frickin' superb. Glad i got it. I love it when albums just get you immediately, and this one did the job.
And now I'm listening to Maxinquaye by Tricky. Two songs to go before Pumpkin....

"if you wanna get back your lady", "jump! for my love", and "i'm so excited". listening to "jump!", i could actually hear goldfrapp redo this song and really make it hot. anyway, i also picked up "guilty" by barbara streisand with the bee gees. yep, she crimps her hair and gets all disco on your ass. who knew? the song "promises" is actually really good. another song goldfrapp could cover and really turn out.

OK, it's a bank holiday, so I'm allowing myself for mass guilty pleasures today.
I'm listening to the quite fantastic 'Runnin' With the Devil' by Van Halen!
And I've lately become a great admirer of Yes' 22 minute long opus 'The Revealing Science of God' from their Tales from Topographic Oceans album. It's utterly fantastic, I don't mind admitting.
Oh, kick ass solo playing right now!
And later this afternoon, I'm allowing myself two and a half hours for Octopussy, easily the best James Bond film ever cos it is sooooooo dreadfully brilliant!
'Having problems keeping it up, Q?'
Genius.
Now I'm listening to 'I Feel For You' by Chaka Khan. for some reason, i think this song has more or less everything i look for in a great pop song. It's rather good.

My sister always made me watch Grease when I was younger, and she got me completely hooked on the film. True, I didn't get a lot of the jokes when I was younger myself!
Tho one thing still puzzles me: when Sandy sees Danny's face in the pool at the end of Hopelessly Devoted to You, why doesn't she freak out? I mean, she's seeing a bloke's face on the surface of water, for gawd's sake! I'd have thought I was going bonkers If i'd seen a thing like that! And his sinister grin only serves to make events more spooky. That was just tobacco they made her smoke in the previous scene, wasn't it?

Will do, mate! I was in London the other day and there was a massive billboard for The Girl Next Door above the Odeon West End cinema, with the beautiful Elisha (cos, you know, we're on first name terms at the mo....) staring down over all of us. I think I almost bumped into somebody cos I was, well... a bit distracted by it. Blimey, she's lovely. I would steal the poster, but it is the size of a small house and i'd never be able to get it on the Tube. Ferk it.
And Elska, this Gloomy Sunday song you speak of, I have a song that goes by the same name by the Associates, and I love it to bits. I know it's a cover, but I never knew who did the original... I take it this version you have is the original version....I'd love to hear that.

'Mind Over Money' by Turin Brakes. I haven't really heard much by this band, though they are one of those bands that i kept on hearing or reading about here and there over the last couple of years. This song is fantastic, it just flutters beautifully, and I love the vocals on it. Sounds a lil like Radiohead, which is always a good thing.

I think Can are a bit more rock-based than those other bands, they weren't really an electronic band at all (at least none of the stuff I've heard has been)! Then again, Neu weren't an electronic band exactly either, were they?

Yeah, you're right. I suppose it's the repetitiveness and that kind of steady 'motorik' (not my word, just something i hear thrown about) beat that got Neu! lumped in with Kraftwerk as being an influence for some of the electronic music in the late 70s'/80's. Yeah, i mean the second side of Neu!75 is more or less a total rock album!
