    I just discovered this Brooklyn band. They might be my favorite newish band right now. “Time to Pretend” is definitely the best pop/rock recording I’ve heard in a very long time. Great lyrics.

    This is their performance on Late Night with Letterman:

    At the end of the video you’ll see the Deluxe Memory Man on the keyboard while the keyboardist is playing the organ riff from “Light My Fire”

    :love: :rawk:

    Here’s the official video, which is brilliant IMO: http://www.court13.com/TimeToPretend_480.mov

    That is a DMM isn’t it, and not a Deluxe Electric Mistress?

    Yeah, I think they could be the next biggest US band if they can put out another single as good as “Time to Pretend” on the next album. I just hope they don’t burn out too fast. Their humor is great, and their hooks kill.

    The Deluxe Memory Strikes Again!!! This time on a Nord Lead Keyboard…. Not only does it work on guitar and bass, also on keys! Why not throw a mic into it and modulate your own voice and delay it accordingly. EHX does it again….

    They remind me of a less noisey “….and you will know us by the trail of dead”

    I can’t say that it really did anything for me though, sorry………it’s a pity there isn’t a better shot of the pedal boards, I’d bet there was some ehx on there somewhere!

    Yep, I was pretty sure that they wouldn’t appeal to you. They probably lean a bit too far to the campy discosynth side for your comfort 😆

    I’ll also bet they use more EHX.

    Best quote from the interview below: “It’s weird that we’re opening up for like Radiohead, and I’m still trying to figure out which pedals to use.”

    lol, I thought they were ok until I heard the studio recording!! but when I watched that video it made more sense that you’d like them…..I thought the whole thing was very Bowie influenced….and yeah a bit too synthy for me, it needed louder guitars for me!! :metal:

    The studio version is great.. live, not so much.

    This is fueling my gas for a DMM though. So is the Jack Conte National Anthem cover.

    edit: I found one on ebay and bought it. I couldn’t resist. Hopefully it’ll be here by Saturday.

    The DMM is a fun box indeed… I mentioned this a few times already, the overload function is great in front of an amp. You can fry it up nicely in the front so you are fueled to deliver the bacon.

    I was listening to Oracular Spectacular over headphones while walking to work today, and it really has that 1970-1972 era Bowie meets Syd Barrett sound to it. I love Dave Fridmann’s production on it. I agree that they don’t yet have their live act honed to sound as sweet as the studio recordings.

    You will never leave you home…. The DMM will occupy you for a long time…. Tell your secretary to hold your calls for a few days with this box.
