I did a post over at Brooklyn Vegan last week on a few notable items worth reposting here:
Spin did a feature a month or two ago on the resurgence of disco. Andy from Beta Blog did a bunch of interviews with James Murphy, Morgan Geist, Mike Simonetti, Dj Harvey, Johnny Jewel (of Glass Candy), and Thomas of Rub 'n Tug for the piece. He's printed up the interviews in their entirety on his blog and Daughters of Invention has the links to all of them in one little piece. Take some time to read these: all very reccomended.Related: Metro Area does a disco mix for Spinner.
A little more recent, FADER caught up with Glass Candy in Portland and put together a nice profile and a few videos.
Speaking of FADER, they most properly shed some light on DFA behind the boards producer gone solo Eric B and his Sticky Disc record label. Listen to the fantastic "Keep on Move" over there.
Glass Candy is on (and Johnny Jewel and Mike Simonetti run) Italians Do it Better, so is Professor Genius. Stream a Professor Genius track over at Pitchfork.
More news on Sticky Disc coming up soon...
