Hello March

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It's March! Time for the return of the 'best new thing' polls - this one incorporating Jan and Feb cos they're both traditionally a bit rub.

Also note the highly relevant bonus question (especially if you are coming out TOMORROW NIGHT for a spot of disco dancing)

[Poll #937683]

Springtime!

Box not BIG ENUFF

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Sooo much good stuff has come out this year, with more imminent. I think it's going to be a banner year. I have been posting on the ILM "11 faves of the moment fvck" thread to keep track of all the good songs. But I can't access ILM from desktop PC (hurrah) so no link. Possibly top of the pops however are the Ewan Pearson remixes of Cortney T's "Don't Let Stars Get Us Tangled Up".

As far as alBUMs are concerned, these are all worth yr money:

2007
Ono - Yes, I'm A Witch
Jordan Pruitt - No Ordinary Girl
The Noisettes - What's the Time, Mr Wolf? (terrible band name but grebt songs)
Nico - The Frozen Borderline 1968-70 ("Janitor of Lunacy" and "Abscheid" on CD at last! woohoo)

2006 but only just got to hear:

V/A - Elaste Vol.1: Slow Motion Disco: Originals from the Cosmic Disco/Compiled By DJ Mooner (Heaven 17! Chris & Cosey! Rah Band! all in a context you've never thought of them in before)

M.A.N.D.Y. at the Controls (not one but TWO awesome mix CDs - possibly nearly as grebt as the Kiki mix from last year)

[+ something I'm saving for The League Of Pop so no spoilers]

nice to read some enthusiasm and details of new stuff. what about the Air album jeff? i'm not too keen on the single tho - this is all i've heard.

new Dizzee single 'Industry' is kinda eeh for me too sadly.

i've not been making any real effort to hear new stuff at all tho. want to rectify this soon (will have time next week :)

I've only heard one song from the new Air LP too (whatever it was that leaked in January) and it was rub. 'J. Cocker that isn't Joe' can bog off basically.

Basically, it's a compilation of (mostly) early 80s space disco choons with veeeerrrryyy ssslooowwww BPMs. Not life-changing or anything but different. And fits quite nicely with the big Scandanavian space disco and 80s Italo-Disco kick I'm on at the moment.

omg 80s Synthpop Screwed & Chopped!

well now i know what i'll be spending time messing about with this weekend...

Re: Elaste

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

on the (rub) Kings Of Techno compilation Carl Craig plays Capricorn's brilliant 'I Need Love' at a much slower speed than usual (around 120bpm or just under) for Italo.

dammit
