David Lynch: Good Day Today

[BrotherLovesDub]

One of the most respected DJ's in America debuts Underworld song on the same day Pete Tong debuts Scribble on Essential Mix. DJ says it's Underworld. Following monday, same DJ plays same track, says it's Underworld. DJ says it's from Underworld's new album.

I'm not asking you to prove a negative. I'm asking you to find the band who is responsible for Good Day Today. Their song just got 2 plays on KCRW's biggest show, that's a big deal. Surely they would have a myspace page, a twitter account, facebook page, something mentioning their album/tracklist/song title. Find the playlist where Good Day Today was played and google every track on there and tell me how many you don't find mentions of online.

Your logic is sound, BLD, but other facts remain: Good Day Today doesn't sound anything like Underworld, or at least so much unlike Underworld that many people are suspicious; the band has not commented on this via Twitter or Facebook or anything; Yannick says it's not Underworld.

Further, this sort of stuff still happens all the time. The internet is filthy with all kinds of phony "new DAFT PUNK" tracks. It's a phenomenon left over from the Napster days where every electronic song was credited to Moby or The Prodigy just because people were ignorant or malicious. My suspicion is that someone emailed this song to Jason Bentley and said it was Underworld and he played it. I used to work in the music industry, it is woefully disorganized and I have no trouble believing a scenario that simple. Why they did it is another question. Maybe just for laughs, or maybe someone passed it to them and they passed it along in good faith.

Yep! By the by, the online playlist says Underworld: "Good Day Today" (single) - Chrysalis....
http://newmedia.kcrw.com/tracklists/...rom=2010-05-17
pretty sure that's legit, since didn't Chrysalis send out the promos of "Crocodile"? Sure did, cos i have one. Not a dodgy whitelabel or mp3, it's a real live promo.

Not buying into the whole conspiracy (totally them I say!), but loving the idea of the boys having a laugh at us trying to "figure it out".
Anyway, didn't someone awhile back find a list of Hyde/Smith titles (ASCAP or BMI or something)? Could that be a source to check?

I was just listening to today's radio show; he apologized for the mess-up and confirmed this is not an Underworld track. I'm disappointed, but not that surprised. The track is a bit different from what is to be expected of UW, but I admit that I absolutely love the song. I want to know who the real artist is so I can dig up some other works.

how many internets do i win?

Anyone else notice that the track totally continues on while Jason Bently talks

and it clearly ISN'T the end of the song

(edit)
I just re-listened to the track

the "gun sound" that I was saying didn't seem to fit is at 02:27:05 in the KCRW broadcast
and it's not the "gun firing" sound I'm referring to..

(edit 2)
and it's WEIRD that Yannick said it isn't by Underworld
and WE received no notice of this coming out

but... I wouldn't be surprised if it is Underworld

or at least - Brian Eno feat Karl Hyde (maybe with Rick... maybe not)

and has anyone else listened to that Eno track I mentioned?

maybe they're just testing the tracks? as well as single possibilities? they already picked a single for the UK and probably for the rest of the world, but USA's market is different and probably they picked a track that's more 'underworld' than Scribble.
