I AM TRYING TO JUMP ON A BANDWAGON PLEASE HELP !!!!

[davethedrummer]

it's really really nice to read everyones replies on this topic
from this discussion i'm feeling much more inspired to release this new stuff myself as opposed to trying to get other " cooler " labels to release it.
yeah there will be a bit of backlash but at the end of the day i don't think my normal dj set will be changing too much.
i totally agree with that earlier post about playing minimal slow stuff at 2 am , yes the club should be rocking to it's core at that time in the morning , not crowding round the bar worrying about last orders.

and thats where i think we all agree . the essence of this music is in the playing out in clubs although many of us love to listen to it at home too .
a good club night should be rocking one way or another. not full of people holding a discussion about the music.

and as far as using aliases , or worrying about what people might say or think about my music , i think i'm just going to stand behind all of it and say " here it is , work it out for yourself "

it might work. who knows ?

[wenna]

[wenna]

not that i'm 'gagging' ;) for a new show or anything :cry:

[lissajou]

i hear you, boss.

i'm about to break you off some
genuine type game, bro.

pay close attention, as i'm only
going to say this shit once...

first off, while your name may be dave,
and you may indeed enjoy playing the drums,
your monicker does not "keep it awesome"
in the way modern rockers demand.

you need something subtle and evocative,
something simple and sexy, like

"asundayreckoning"

"the remorse"

or

"horsexe"

furthermore, you need to get far away
from yr free party roots as humanly
possible.

don't make any mention of your history
or identity for at least another six months,

at which point, i predict it will become
agonizingly hip to have spent ages raving
til dawn,

assuming you're able to behave as if you did so
ironically, or that you're some sort of roky-esque
schizophrenic visionary.

thirdly, the auts will be remembered as
a popist era.

look at modern "hiphop" or the inexplicable
popularity of bands like xiu xiu,
if you don't believe me.

gather up the weirdest, most effed up sounds
in yr household, throw them together in a
fashion resembling any song on the third
velvets lp, and have some reed throated
depressive emote over it all.

release that shit as a limited edition
seven inch ep, packaged in oxfam scraps
or magic markered toilet paper or
something similarly "outside".

you'll want to have put together a fantastic
live pa before you've do any of this, however,

one in which you and whomever you happen to
be ****ing at the moment dress like hoboes
and pretend to play vintage synthesizers
and chinese guitars.

if you've not got a myspace account, GET ONE NOW.

preferably, one featuring pictures of you in makeup
and references to avant composers or new jack swing.

pretending you live in williamsburg or portland
will help, tho if you're stuck on the whole
"being english" thing, be sure you mention bow
or tottenham or something.

keep it real, is what i'm saying.

REAL ****ING AWESOME,

bro...

doing all of these things will assure you
at least one mention on pitchfork, which
will, in turn, guarantee you herpes worries
from at least one suicide girl, as well as
the sort of enduring celebrity enjoyed by
modern luminaries such as weird weeds,
jens lekman, or the cure...

What a fantastic post. Best advice thus far :P

Unfortunately, references such as "Xiu Xiu" & "Pitchfork" will go sadly ignored.

But i loved it.

Post more often. Please.

ok
tried that a few times, it works to some extent , but getting new people to recognise my work is still a problem , and aliases tend to confuse things in the end.
as i said i'm proud of my history.
why cant it all co-exsist?

no, no.. basically h, you've tried it but you've not marketed it to the extent you need to...

Your a talented producer Mr Drummer and I’m sure, in fact I’m positive that know matter what style of music you produce you will always have admirers. Your great at the underground so I don’t see why you cant be great at other styles.

The more you broaden your horizons
and make different styles of music to suit everyone the more people will start to recognise your name especially if it isn’t so underground like with the acid.

I'm not too keen on the minimal my self but I’ll always give a new tune a listen, as for the funkier shit , to me you can never go wrong with a bit of butt wiggling, and I think you'd be great at the funkier stuff as you tend to incorporate allot of funkiness to your techno tunes, which I fecking loveeeeee btw!!

In the end though you've just got to think of no.1 and just go for it, if all else fails (which I doubt seriously) you can always come back to home sweet home !! good luck drummer ;)

My experience on jumping on or off any particular wagon are to ask the driver of said wagon to slow down to a comfortable speed as to not take a header of said wagon.

Wagons kill!.. Be Careful!

[dan the acid man]

aren't wagon wheels smaller than they used to be
















sorry, somebody had to
