Like, two years after the fact...

...Late of the Pier have finally gotten around to releasing a video for their current Best Song Ever™*, "Space and the Woods", and not to be all "we were there" or anything, but we saw them over a year ago and have been telling people to PLAY THIS SONG drunkenly in clubs since before them. We hope they become big (and they have time, since the median age of the band is still approximately 4).

We feel old.

:(

Here's the video. There is a half-naked redhead teenage boy at 0:20--do with that information what you will.



Because we love you so much, we are posting HERE AND NOW the brilliant c90s remix of "Space and the Woods". Yousendit.com or zShare.net: YOUR CHOICE.

*You thought we forgot about those, didn't you?

This is the best thing in the world

Ever.

Also, LOTP have a new single out and it's called "Bathroom Gurgle" and here it is. We're fairly confident that we are breaking some sort of law, but it's only illegal if you get caught etc.

Late Of The Pier - "Bathroom Gurgle"

So so so so so good. We can't wait for LOTP to properly record and album and destroy the entire world.

"Fit" DJs Remix London Teenagers For Your Electrobanging Pleasure

Every now and again, our email inbox decides to yeild something other than spam, Myspace comments and the desperate demands of some poor label intern. The other day, we got a nice little message from London-based Dj duo The C90s, with a link to their brilliant remix of Late of the Pier's "Space and the Woods". Now, "Space and the Woods" being LOTP's Best Song™, we were a little skeptical of it being rehashed. But the C90s boys knew what they were doing, apparently: their remix sounds like something MSTRKRTF would do, only it doesn't bore us to tears and make us want to shoot up every Korg in sight with an AK-47.

As a bonus, someone on the C90s Myspace page described the "one on the left" as "fit", which we found funny... in a good way.

We'll definitely be spinning it next time we DJ (March 31st at White Room, ahem).

Put your hands on your waistline

We remember reading about Late of the Pier--a gangly bunch of teenage boys making Gary Numan-inspired dance songs--in an NME review of the all ages WayOutWest showcases. BAsically, the review was all like: "Don't forget this name best band ever" etc, but since the NME say shit like that even more then we do, we just made a quick mental note and moved on. WELL. We had the pleasure of catching LOTP opening for the Cribs last weekend in London, and they blew us the fuck away--and not just because their seriously mental fanbase of 16-year-olds were dancing like crazy and freaking out at the beginning of every song. And not just because the bassist was wearing some sort of corset he seemed to have fashioned out of tinfoil. And not just becuase they were playing keyboards balanced on an ironing board. Seriously. It was that awesome.

Here's the boys doing their shit at the Old Blue Last in London not too long ago.



OMG right? There's an MP3 of the song "Broken" over at Green Pea-ness that we're too lazy to upload. You should also check out the gallery of them playing at DURRR last Monday via DirtyDirtyDancing.

Next year we'll all be praying at these kids' feet so like, start early.
