Here we go.

I’ve been hanging out to unleash this since I got sent it last week so much thanks for bearing with the previous false start.

If you’re one of those hard-sells that needs a brief synopsis before you make that commitment to pushing the play button, I’ll sum it up like so: couple of me’s, percussive sports equipment, magic chairs, Atari, and an Elephant. Choice.

Big big big thanks to Joel Kefali, the team at Special Problems, and everyone who was on set on the day. You’s killed it.

Oh, and if you dig it – “Big Time” single available for purchase right about now:

iTunes | Vodafone | Amplifier | Digirama | Telecom

    “BIG TIIIIIME” HAHAA
    SHAMOL

  14. D. Dallas Says:

    Thanks everyone for checkin it, glad you’s dig it.

    @SamRaptor, the original snare is there but another snare has been layered on top to beef it up. And yeah the whole mix is different, the snippet of the song that was on the ABC vid was the original demo.

  15. Tawhs Says:

    Shot the bro. Been waiting almost a year for you to officially drop this track, meanage. Chur

  16. SamRaptor Says:

    @dave – oh yeah fair enough.

    Just noticed the rythmic behaviour of the balls, good shit! This song reminds me of high school and the mindstate I was in when i left it prematurely to go do the things I really wanted to do in life.
    Cheers for the relateable anthem dave!

  18. Helious Says:

    What’s the deal with it not being up on Vodafone :( I’m vodafone hard!! I’m pretty sure it’s not there anyways.

  19. Che Says:

    ^^ it is going up on Vodafone, but they’ve got a backlog at the moment. It’s affecting a whole bunch of stuff including ‘Big Time’ unfortunately. Should be up soon though.

  26. Sam Says:

    Album still coming out next month?

  27. Helious Says:

    @ Rob

    IE8 works fine from my PC bro, it’s definitely a bit slow, but this site in generally isn’t the quickest. I think I get about a 170ms tracert.

  28. Helious Says:

    ok, it’s 135ms, but it’s a lot of hops – http://helious.orconhosting.net.nz/helious.jpg – i personally don’t care, just thought i’d give rob a nerd answer – ha !

  29. unclejohn Says:

    yo
    sounding good and video is well done

    be awesome to see you live
    hit Melbourne city again soon

  30. sheep Says:

    Sweeeet.

  31. D. Dallas Says:

    LOL @ Helious. Tracert-in it up. @ Rob I wasn’t aware of the I.E 8 problems cause it works on my computer ? Might have to see if we can make the site load faster tho.

    @ Sam, yup Album out late next month.

    @ Unclejohn and Wayne – Should be back in Oz before the year is out if people are keen for it. Spread the word haha

    Once again thanks everyone for checkin it. It’s startin to pop up on blogs all over the place so I’m stoked.

  32. _Remix_ Says:

    The site loads a little slow with my Firefox but that’s possibly something to do with my internet. It’s always messing about.

    If you come back to Aussie, I doubt you’d go to Adelaide, eh?

  33. Helious Says:

    curiosity killed the cat, i was wondering if there’s an extended version of Big Time at all? or if you ever considered another verse~ NEED MORE

  34. MyNameIsForty Says:

    after a few watches i noticed thay at 1.59 a half faded out floating david dallas head with a cap on bopping to the song appears from behind the blackboard! magic!

  35. Negative/Ashlee Says:

  36. Rob Says:

    Yo!
    Thanks for the geek replies fellas!!
    Thought i might let youse knows that there’s a security flaw with WordPress atm. You might get hassled by some script kiddies etc.

    Flaw description here:
    http://www.programmerfish.com/wordpress-security-flaw-reset-admin-password-of-any-blog-without-confirmation/

    The fix:
    Open wp-login.php and goto line 190 (for WP 2.8.3) and line 169 (for earlier versions) and replace this line:

    if (empty( $key ) )
    with

    if (empty( $key ) || is_array( $key ) )

    Your ‘Contact’ page is broken hence the posting here.

    Peace
    Rob

  37. Che Says:

    ^^ Thanks Rob, fixed
