Eddy Says: Hello, What Am I Doing?
By Eddy Temple-Morris | Published on Monday 10 November 2008
I love the Remix Update, it represents a true community (I look at it as a family) tied together by a deep love for the same kind of music, and I’m always very grateful that anybody listens to the show and/or likes what I do as a DJ/radio host or producer. So starting now, I will endevour to write a little something down in this space especially for you, on a weekly basis.
It could be a tip or a highlight of something on the show, or a bit of gossip (as soon as I hear the new Prodigy album for example, I’ll tell you about it), or a rant, or a biggup, or a preview of a gig or a festival or an answer to a question that I get asked a lot. Questions like “What happened to your show on MTV?”, “Will you do telly again?” and “Are you touring with Pendulum anytime soon?”
I’ll begin with one of these questions: “What’s going on with The Losers?”
Well, my production and remix partnership with Tom Bellamy – the pin-up one from the best looking band in indie rock ever, The Cooper Temple Clause – has blossomed into a debut album and a live show.
A few of you will have seen the first ever live show at this year’s Secret Garden – the Infadels present loved it and said they want to take us on tour! A few more of you may have seen us support Evil Nine’s excellent live show last week in Hoxton – we got some lovely feedback, thank you. There’s some more dates upcoming, details on which below.
We’re playing our cards close to our chest regards the album, and have not let any music get out, but the time is fast approaching when we feel able to slowly bleed some tracks out onto the internet, probably via www.myspace.com/losersuk – we just want to get the page looking sexy first (can anybody help us with this?).
Single one will be ‘No Man Is An Island’, basically one of those list songs, written in rhyme, going through all the “losers” we love. Losers, in the sense we use the word, are “beautiful losers”, the underdogs of the world, the opposite of that over eager, very American “we are winners, we are number 1” mentality. Losers are people who don’t have their lives and their happiness depend on the outcome, but are happy in the simple taking part.
I debuted the track a couple of weeks ago, late at night, when a nice student from Cheltenham requested the Midimidis Rhysmix – which i didn’t have – so I played the Losers track by way of an apology. The single will come with remixes by Utah Saints, Grum, and Tobias Doppelganger. Not sure what label yet, but watch this space.
Sorry to go on, hope you find this column in some way interesting. I’m sure the nice guys at CMU will love any feedback you give, I know I will.
Live, love, work, sleep, play, and create hard, and thanks again for keeping the faith.
Love and respect,
Eddy
