I saw Courtney T live earlier this year supporting Au Revoir Simone at Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush (great venue btw and just up the road from my house!). She occupies an interesting space somewhere between country and shoegazer-ish indie. The crowd was mainly twenty something couples. For the most part, it was fairly polite and then she and her band threw in an unscheduled, staccato noise piece at the end just to shake things up a bit.

The LCD stuff is because Steve M’s video is from a mix he made, so you get the end of “GI” into the Tidwell mix. The actual Tidwell mix, which I’m writing about, can be heard in the 11m video in the main post, and has no LCD Soundsystem content ;)

I didn’t make it though to the end of this…. LCD’s ‘Get innocuous’ was one of the dance songs of its year, what does this add to it that’s great and not just kind of irritating and cluttering? (Is this a remix of a mash-up of get.innoc and something else? Or is the addition of get.innoc strictly the remixer’s doing?) I’m way out of the dance music loop these days, but LCD’s record remains a fave, and I guess I feel a little protective of it!

I still can’t believe she played a gig earlier this year in The Slaughtered Lamb pub basement of all places. Great show.

It pleases me v much that Tori Amos was one of the ’90s artists who proved to be a key link between “alternative” acts and dance remixers – not just the famous Tori Van Helden “Professional Widow” but Carl Craig remixing “God” a few years previously – one of his first ever major artist commissions, I think.

Anyway this is a superlative effort from a generally superlative remixer. It’s available on itunes etc, btw, and you should certainly shell out 79p for it if you don’t have it already.

A pleasing consequence of this remix was that it led to me discovering Cortney Tidwell in her own right, just because her voice is so obviously wonderful. Didn’t hear the album this original is from but the latest one, Boys, is really great, esp. “Solid State” and “17 Horses”; Steve there are remixes from Simon Baker and Daphni of “Watusii”!

can i change the youtube link so it plays the video i made for this (which i recently re-uploaded – it got removed when my old youtube account was deleted)?

actually my edit is only 5 and a half minutes so you don’t get the full experience but here it is:

It’s worth hearing the lovely, broodier original as well as that whole album (her latest album is pretty good too – not aware of any remixes from this yet). This is one of my 5 favourite remixes of the last ten years tho I think.
