the xx, Friendly Fires, Holly Miranda The xx's songs are still and spacious things. The guitars and bass recall early New Order (when they still sounded hollowed out by the loss of Ian Curtis); the beats are muted, bedroom-bred stuff. But the sensual, often sexual tension in covocalists Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim's close-quartered, whisper-soft boy/girl duets fills their album's latent spaces...
- Jason Bay has declined Boston's first offer, a 4-year deal worth around $60 million. Here's more from Jon Heyman : Boston's offer to Bay was believed to be for four years and "close to $60 million,'' according to sources. Bay thus will join star outfielder Matt Holliday and ace pitcher John Lackey as the biggest free agents on this year's market. The exclusive period for incumbent teams expires...
The other day BaseballAmerica.com released its "big list" of minor league free agents. These basically are guys that have been in the minors for more than 6 seasons and that were not placed on the 40-man roster, making them eligible to be free agents. A bunch more players will either be released, non-tendered, etc., but this here is a large chunk of them. The link to the releases can be found...
The 2009 minor league free agent lis t is littered with former top prospects and number one picks. Some of these names should sound familiar; Josh Barfield , Bobby Brownlie , Chad Cordero , Eric Duncan , Clint Everts , Ryan Harvey , Dallas McPherson , Greg Miller and several notable others are all free agents this year. As Dave Cameron over at Fangraphs pointed out, even former top catching prospect...

To add to Segal's praises of Rub'n'Tug / Still Going 's Eric Duncan, I submit the following remix of Out Hud (and would submit R'n'T's re-edit of "I'm a Man" if I could find it)—just killer, stripped down-to-the-bone, dance floor gold here: [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
Trouble Dicso continues its unimpeachable track record with the booking of Eric Duncan, aka Dr. Dunks , who's recorded for Eskimo as half of Rub-n-Tug and DFA as Still Going . His DJ set happens Fri. Nov. 27 at Re-bar . Previous Trouble Dicso nights—which focus on cosmic disco and wide-ranging, Balearic-style sets—have featured JD Twitch and Altair Nouveau . Expect epic, psychedelic things...
In two years, Still Going have released only four original songs, a number that could be considered ridiculous were the two people involved in the project– Rub-N-Tug 's Eric Duncan and House Of House 's Liv Spencer–not busy with their other awesome musical entities. Also, it's forgivable because every one of those songs has been of preeminent quality. "Spaghetti Circus" is the...
The NYC duo Still Going (AKA Eric Duncan from Rub ‘N’ Tug and Oliver Spencer from House Of House) just released their “Spaghetti Circus” single on DFA and it’s already become a bestseller. The track itself is a stellar feelgood, piano, bass and urging vocals driven disco/house track which is bound to ignite dancefloors. Still Going [...]

Eric Duncan is well known in the disco realm. He is the guy behind the C.O.M.B.I. vinyls. Highly sought after and limited re-edits that end up costing a fortune at Discogs or eBay for a reason. They are essential disco bombs. He has also put together such vinyls in a mixed compact disc with the [...]
