Tiny Mix Tapes: First and foremost, how exactly do you pronounce Dntel? And is there meaning behind the name? Tamborello: It’s pronounced din-tell. I made up the name a long time ago and it just seemed like a good electronic name. I thought about changing it before this new album but I couldn’t think of anything so I just made up a meaning for dntel. So it’s supposed to be short for "don’t tell"- like a more technologically efficient expression of intimacy. I know it’s a stretch.

Pronounciation information for a future article.  :-) - Omegatron 14:43, May 24, 2004 (UTC)

I can't believe David hasn't made a Figurine page yet...Surely he's seen this! Should I? - Bad Juju

I reverted a recent change in which din-tell was changed to den-tell. The discussion above, along with a radio interview on KCRW, pronounces it din-tell. Also, go ahead and make a Figurine page, I'll help! - Arek

Why isn't there a Jimmy Tamborello Page? I was surprised to be forwarded here. You guys have his 'real name' as Jimmy Tamborello, when in fact his 'real' name is (James Scott Tamborello). - insaneses

Does Tamborello consider Dntel Experimental Dream Pop? or Indietronic Does Tamborello only play in indietronic rooted bands? What does each of his bands fall under for genre's?

[edit] Please merge this into this article

Per this AfD, the following needs to be merged into the article:

Antihouse is an ambient techno production duo, based in Goleta, California. The duo includes Jimmy Tamborello, later a member of The Postal Service and known as Dntel. This was his first musical group. The duo's discography includes experiments 1-5, and "live at Deep Groove".

PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS DISCUSSION: I'm considering making a James Tamborello page aside from his career as Dntel, along with a James Figurine page, as he has recently released an album as James Figurine. Should I separate Dntel into James Tamborello, James Figurine, and Dntel? Would just James Tamborello and Dntel be sufficient with the James Figurine album being placed in the James Tamborello page?

  • Yes, that's exactly what I was going to suggest as well. Although I think you should have three pages: James/Jimmy Tamborello, Dntel and James Figurine. The first could list up all his projects (including Postal Service and Figurine) and contain a personal biography of the man, while the latter two could just be facts about the project and all EPs/LPs/singles released under the project name. --Tego156 22:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree, all the info on james should be on his own named page and not one of his musical project pages. A.Grace 21:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC). Also I am pretty sure that James Scott Tamborello is more commonly known as James Figurine??

[edit] Dntel song featured in Cadillac commercial

Not sure if it's of merit, but one of his songs was in a Caddy commercial aired during the Super Bowl


[edit] Dntel - Old German dialect?

The article states that ""dntel" also means train car in old german dialect." I'm German and I know of no such word. What dialect is that supposed to be? Unless anyone finds proof for that, I'd like to delete it. - Vivness (talk) 12:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
