Blog - Chromeo mistake
Chromeo mistake
Just provoked a bit of a change on a news item at my beloved CDJournal.com (Japanese music news site), which I always watch wishing for exciting news.
They were announcing Chromeo "She's In Control" to soon be released in the UK with bonus tracks and CD-Extra, but were mistakenly saying that the band's Dave 1 is Bran Van 3000's leader James DiSalvio.
Not having heard of Chromeo yet (how come?), this prompted me to do a bit of research and I found out it's actually David Macklovitch (who has been credited as beatmaker for Bran Van 3000). A bit disappointed, I emailed them about the mistake which seems to have prompted them to edit the article a few minutes later.
Before:
「中心人物であったビデオ・ディレクターのブラン・マンことジェームス・ディ・サルヴィオは“Dave 1”と名を変え、・・・」
(rough translation) "main member/video director Bran Man aka James DiSalvio changed his name to 'Dave 1', ..."
After:
「ビートメイカーであったDavid Macklovitchは"Dave 1"と名を変え、・・・」
(rough translation) "beatmaker David Macklovitch changed his name to 'Dave 1', ..."
... well I think Dave 1 has been using that nickname forever, but still this is more correct than it was.
Anyway I may have to pick up that Chromeo album (UK version when it comes out, to also get the bonus stuff) since it sounds like it may be a bit Bran Van-ish!
How I wish for a 3rd BV3 album!

Sometimes wishes may come true
I just got back today from a trip to Québec via NYC, and found this comment by Bran Van 3000's...

I would also love to hear some new Bran Van music! Are there other side-projects or related releases I don't know of?
I'm still grateful to you for pointing their first album out to me :-)

Glad to hear you like them too. :)
Sadly I don't know of anything, Chromeo is the first side-project I hear of (and half a year late). The samples on their site are great! I just preordered from Amazon and should be receiving it sometime next week.
There have been a lot of rumours that Bran Van 3000 is working on a 3rd album, but it's been ages. I think they're also still without a label (since Grand Royal closed).
There is a fan FTP with some rarities I think. Find more info here: http://www.branvan3000.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=85&highlight=ftp#85
