SOULWAX - NY Excuse

older than me

[@sp3k7acular]

I took a friend to the SOULWAXMAS show a few days before christmas (years ago) where 2manydjs played afterwards. When they did NY excuse he screamed to me over the noise.. oh my god they are playing THIS song from Justice. I screamed back No, dude.. this IS them. Justice remixed THESE guys. What an epic moment.

[@kylez9094]

For anybody who cares, there was a soulwax doc and when they were recording the song, one of the brothers was dating the chick from lcd soundsystem, who was overseas in NY at the time. They needed vocals for the song, so they made the record company fly them to NY so his gf could do the vocals (but he really just wanted to see her)

[@giuseppefranco8199]

That was an excuse he was making. Is it good enough for what he paid?

The song that introduced me to Soulwax. My life won't be the same after listening to this.

[@sickrantorum693]

God I miss the early 2000s.

[@HermanAnimation]

So this is where Justice got the material... Discovering the origins of a remix by accident are great!

[@xellyfer]

We need updated numbers for present day, Soulwax.

[@froggeryjones]

If you watch the Soulwax documentary 'Part of the weekend never dies' Nancy Whang (vocals on this track) explains this song is about her boyfriend David Dewaele (of Soulwax) wanted an excuse to come see her in New York while they were working on the album so he asked her to do vocals on this tune they had made! :)

[@3hil]

Still digging this song, hell yeah!

[@ematj]

soulwax is the best ever! and 2manydjs too!

[@lauramerinogarcia8668]

Powerful video

[@CollinSamatas]

Such an amazing video, captures their point about the evils of consumerism possibly better than any Dada-esque video of its type.

[@clemutyuirtaswerc]

I regret being born in 2001 so i could've heard this when it was released. Amazing.

[@stephanswaan6895]

Be glad you hear it now

[@pozzarefds]

You will be happy to know it sounded just as good back then as it does now.

[@clemutyuirtaswerc]

@@pozzarefds nice

[@frittomisto]

Damn that's pity, cause you should regret more see them on live stage, THIS was really amazing, I went there and it was one of the most brilliant concert I ve ever seen!

[@QOTSARadio]

Talk about underrated... Soulwax.

[@JulianSpitzer]

just re-checked on wikipedia, you are right ;) i looked at the single release (2005) but didn't see that it has been released on the album "Any Minute Now" in 2004 already

[@tomedelkowski6567]

searching for this song, after i heard a mix with funkytown - AWESOME !!!

[@LovevonMelenEkman]

Is it because people listen to it on yt music? Anyway I love it

[@Enricuzz0]

[ITA] è un video davvero straordinario, e ci sta da dio sulla canzone, ti mette anche tristezza però e fa riflettere parecchio... Mitici

[@fablungo]

I had never seen/heard the original of this song till now, only the justice remix!

[@Natedawg38]

New best song ever

[@Jespervisser]

That part that their playing in black and white on the grass is from 'see emily play' (Pink Floyd). Great clip!

[@twiceasfastasyourass]

this song is pretty sweet, i also like soulwax' song called Another Excuse...

[@kellie2377]

Fantastic song and a video that really make's you think. Brilliant!. x

[@symbungee]

Yes! This is a banger from way back.

In 2008, the global Development Assistance Committe spent nearly a 120 billion USD on aid for developing countries, countries that will price the first world out of the market should their level of development ever reach a sufficiently high relative level.

[@CollinSamatas]

Such a classic song! Is this the official video? If so, I like it! There's something very late 1950's / early 1960's about it. Rock and roll, Soulwax!

[@stephenpatton4532]

This is thee excuse that were making

[@RogerFirmin]

this is really from the hands of the members of soulwax, justice likes to use it in their shows

I was referring to the description and tag of this video "older than me" & "80's", not to Veleska.

[@puske1990]

And from Belgium !!!

[@PvW518]

perhaps Soulwax made a cover from another song from back in the 80´s? Can´t find much about that on the internet though, but is very well possible. A part of the voices (I said I can shout! You don´t have to shout at me?! Well stop making me then!) can also be found in another track from BT, I believe BT - Superfabulous. That makes me think it´s a cover or they at least used a sample from the 80´s :-). Soulwax however is from the 90´s + new millenium.

Justice version is good, but this one is a little better. It has more staying power while the Justice remix gets old kinda fast. Both are jammy for sure though.

wow amazing photos its a cool video babes

[@tantenene]

that ain't what they've told me. It's Steph who wanted to go to his girlfriend in the US, "he had to go for a song" so that was the excuse...

[@PARSONSKNOWS]

Yup, BelgianMusic is correct, what is Veleska on about/on?

[@TriplaDupla]

no, the version, which made for Test drive unlimited ... that is the best :)

whaaa belgium rules! keep up the good work guys!

[@RoboTerm]

so here comes your answer: soulwax stayed in new york 2 weeks longer than they´ve wanted and their label had to pay the bills for the hotels. when they came back they wrote this song. lyrics: this is an excuse that will make it. is it good enough for what you (the label) payed.
