UNDERWORLD TOUR
Karl Hyde (vocalist, Underworld) on Underworld’s “Born Slippy” from an article in The Guardian:
We used to go out drinking in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were written on that night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that…Rick [Smith] came up with a rhythm and I started singing over it. The vocals were done in one take. When I lost my place, I’d repeat the same line; that’s why it goes, “lager, lager, lager, lager”… Why Born Slippy? It was a greyhound we won money on.
As previously reported, Underworld is going out on tour and will be hitting Central Park on September 14th. TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE. The boys will be joined by Border Community’s James Holden. Stay tuned for info on when Underworld will be releasing a single from their forthcoming album. If you haven’t caught up with Underworld in a while, I highly recommend checking out their epic digital-only RiverRun singles.
:DFA FREAKOUT: James is a disco guy:
LCD SOUNDSYTEM live at Studio B? BANANAS. Total destruction ensues. Studio B might not be standing after this goes down. DFA DJs and mayhem.
Earplug sat down with James Murphy and he makes a really great recommendation for fans new to dance music:
Read Last Night a DJ Saved My Life by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton. Read the disco sections and check the playlists in the back, like those from Paradise Garage, the Loft, the Funhouse, and the Palladium. It was a real eye-opener for me. There are top-10 and top-20 lists from amazing DJs of that era who were really adventurous and took chances. Just track those songs down and see what you like. It’s a really great history of disco and of dance music.
