LITM Extra - Listeners' Questions, Oct '21 [excerpt]

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To hear the whole thing, along with accessing lots more LITM Extra content, go to www.patreon.com/LoveMessagePod to become a patron from £3 per month. In this patrons-only episode of LITM Extra, Tim and Jeremy take questions from you, the listeners. They talk about the portrayal of disco as synthetic music, the misplaced protest of rock musicians and fans against the genre, and dig into the odd phenomenon of the novelty disco single. Tim and Jeremy also share with us the system components David Mancuso used at the Loft, including amps, turntables and cartridges, and respond to the accusation of retro behaviour. And to close out, we hear some of our favourite modern disco remixes and learn the how to talk about bangers in Seventies lingo.   Tracklist: Rick Dees - Disco Duck Gorillaz - Dare (DFA Remix) Sandy's Gang - Hungry (Sean P Re-edit) Loose Joints - Is It All Over My Face (Kon's Duet Mix) Sister Sledge - Lost in Music

Om Podcasten

Love is the Message: Music, Dance & Counterculture is a new show from Tim Lawrence and Jeremy Gilbert, both of them authors, academics, DJs and dance party organisers. Tune in, Turn on and Get Down to in-depth discussion of the sonic, social and political legacies of radical movements from the 1960s to today. Starting with David Mancuso's NYC Loft parties, we’ll explore the countercultural sounds, scenes and ideas of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. ”There’s one big party going on all the time. Sometimes we get to tune into it.” The rest of the time there’s Love Is The Message.
