JARK.FM V: STUDIO 25 AFTERPARTY (Friday 10pm)

[Tisch]

Just imagine feeling NOTHING and EVERYTHING at the same time

I can just get PISSED OUT MY SKULL for this to be fair

 

[Zu]

Sometimes it's so weird being in here as someone with no experience of cocaine whatsoever

I’ve used it in the past but it just makes me noisy and boring. Also the effect wears off very quickly. I think weed and MDMA (and acid, not that I’d necessarily go there again) interact much more effectively with music, at least in my experience

 

[COB]

Loving this routine!

 

[Jark]

Living in Japan is EVERY BIT as STUPID and GLORIOUS as you'd expect a song called Living in Japan to be.

IN the land of the RISING SUN

 

[Lucille]

I’m still on I See Stars but I’m loving the DETACHED NATURE OF IT ALL.

 

[Tisch]

noisy and boring

OMG

 

[COB]

This is such a NONSENSE

 

[Jark]

This is such a NONSENSE

somebody actually sat down and wrote this! the 80s were wild.

 

[RJN]

I fucking love Living In Japan. My DISCOVERY of the night. It's just so ridiculous

 

[Jark]

I'm like a CAKE
that VONTS to be BAKED

-Jark, queueing at the coffee shop

 

[Zu]

I see we’re now onto ‘Slice Me Nice’

SQUALID

 

[RJN]

I'm making a cake related disco playlist of just MacArthur Park and Slice Me Nice

 

[Lucille]

Had a TECHNICAL ISSUE but just catching up on the much anticipated FANCY now.

 

[COB]

Italove have other songs!

 

[Zu]

I can obviously recommend much of the Fancy back cat although they’re not all about being rear ended. Well, OSTENSIBLY

 

[Jark]

Follow Me to Mexico is Something New through a hot Italo filter. and that video...

 

[COB]

Italove have other songs!

May have been a BIT HASTY in this assessment

 

[Lucille]

Slice me nice is as anticipated LUDICROUS and GRIMLY FABULOUS!

 

[Jark]

Follow Me to Mexico reminds me oddly of the Pet Shop Boys excellent b-side The Truck Driver and His Mate

 

[Tisch]

omg that Mexico song just had me queening out at the dining room table

 

[COB]

This Sebastian Telier artwork is giving me The End of Evangelion which is of course ALWAYS a plus in my book

 

[Zu]

May have been a BIT HASTY in this assessment

Is it in the grand Italo tradition of change a few notes and release it as the second single?

 

[COB]

Is it in the grand Italo tradition of change a few notes and release it as the second single?

However did you guess?

 

[Jark]

calming down a bit for a couple of songs now before we go full DISCO CLASSICS for the finale

 

[Jark]

I discovered Echoes this week and have been entirely obsessed. the chorus is HUGE!

 

[Zu]

However did you guess?

The VALERIE DORE influence lives on

(Play a fun game of Spot The Difference with ‘The Night’ and ‘Get Closer’ )

 

[Jark]

Ugh! the laser in the chorus of Echoes is EVERYTHING! the kind of song that makes me sad more people will never HEAR IT.

 

[Jark]

just lit a cigarette at the wrong end. I shouldn't have finished the wine.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm here! This Dua remix!

 

[Jark]

this Dua remix really ROCKETS ALONG.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Omg baracca

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Ewwwwwwwwwww

 

[Tisch]

This song lends itself so well to remixes! Love it.

 

[Zu]

Living in Japan is EVERY BIT as STUPID and GLORIOUS as you'd expect a song called Living in Japan to be.

IN the land of the RISING SUN

Germans and Italians were bizarrely obsessed with Japan and all things (ahem) Oriental in the eighties if the records are anything to go by. (Fancy’s ‘Chinese Eyes’ springs to mind.) Almost as if they’d only just realised it existed

 

[Jark]

I'm a SENSATION

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I love that Boogie is getting a revival!

 

[Jark]

yes sir
already told you in the first verse
and in the chorus
but I will give you one more chance

referencing their own lyrics like it's THE GAY BIBLE!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Its in the charts!

 

[Jark]

I want to get really drunk and do this at karaoke with the accents one time. but it'll been a seven champagnes and four long islands kinda night.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sorry, I'm A Lady is even better!
