I think Cam1ll3 D0der0 is on some ironic ish with that. She's a Village Voice web editor and she calls herself a "Juggalo expert" on her twitter bio. She also wrote one of those big pieces about "lol look at the juggalos gathering".

did people ever refer to "the collected EPs by" an artist as an album or are you talking about stuff that actually was compiled/reissued on one release?

The process of recycling Styrofoam
The process of recycling Styrofoam involves feeding the collected EPS foam through conveyor belts into a shredding machine.
The shredded EPS foam is then transferred to a plastic extruder where the foam is exposed to heat and pressure to melt the EPS foam. Subsequently, the melted EPS foam passes out through a small outlet at the end of the extruder and solidifies into a continuous form.
This form of EPS can then be easily transported to the required factories for remolding (again using heat and pressure) into its new EPS products.
Check out this video on the Styrofoam recycling process.

fyi, camille's piece was really good in that it was one of the few that wasn't all condescendingly "lol juggalos"

That is true Whiney, I had her piece mixed up with another one until I looked at it again.
― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 9 December 2010 23:25 (thirteen years ago) link
it was still basically "lol juggalos" but not terribly condescending in the process

is there any list out there that includes "miami 2 ibiza" aside from mine? like, is there any dance crit site that takes populist dance music seriously whatsoever? it seems like theres some wild double standard w/ rap where everyone takes Drake soooo seriously, and dance music where we're only reviewing obscure german 12"
― lotta diamonds ... but prolly more display names (deej), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:30 (thirteen years ago) link
James Blake aside, that Juno list is great. The Midnight Magic/Jacques Renault record is a jam and the whole Permanent Vacation comp it comes from is ace.
Virtually every other song with Tinie Tempah on this year is better than Miami 2 Ibiza.
― Matt DC, Friday, 10 December 2010 00:31 (thirteen years ago) link
miami 2 ibiza rules wtf
― lotta diamonds ... but prolly more display names (deej), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:33 (thirteen years ago) link
im not concerned w/ tinie tempah im concerned w/ big populist dance music that critics pretend doesnt exist
like taio cruz?
― gimme schefter (J0rdan S.), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:34 (thirteen years ago) link
I think dance music criticism and populist dance music do sometimes stray closer to one another but they're very far apart indeed at the moment, if only because the David Guetta/Swedish House Mafia school is so awful. They were much closer when people like Mylo or Felix or Zombie Nation were having huge hits.
― Matt DC, Friday, 10 December 2010 00:36 (thirteen years ago) link
& i dont mean 'populist' as in popular with fools gold fans who are willing to put up w/ 4th rate strictly rhythm bites but 'populist' as in, crosses over to huge dance audiences

you could say the same thing about rap right now, except that for some reason, (and im not saying this is true on ilx), critics at certain places that i might even write for are still repping for some super lame pop rap
― lotta diamonds ... but prolly more display names (deej), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:39 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah but a significant number of rap writers have spent the best part of the decade fighting the corner for mainstream/commercial rap whereas in dance music its more about crate digging and highlighting the best stuff for DJs. The critical landscape is totally different.
― Matt DC, Friday, 10 December 2010 00:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Mostly amateur DJs I think...
― Matt DC, Friday, 10 December 2010 00:43 (thirteen years ago) link
This is true, but I think the bigger issue is not whether post-Guetta stuff or Swedish House Mafia is good or not but rather how it's conceived and categorised. Stuff like "Dynamite" and "Club Can't Handle Me" really is the pop-dance of now, this is the kind of stuff that gets played at christmas office parties whereas 4 years ago it might have been "Drop The Pressure" and "Call On Me". And then of course Gaga as well.
The effect of which is that the entire substratum of chartbound populist dance has now blurred to the point of indistinction from actual pop/r&b. The Kylie collabo with Taio is very telling in this regard.
Even 3 or 4 years ago pop-dance in the sense of dance producers releasing non-star-based songs that would go to the top of the charts was its own distinct thing and merited attention as a genre in itself. I'm not sure if that's true at the moment, though obviously any such remission is directly inversely proportionate to how much more dance-pop-ish pop/r&b happens to be.
And of course non-charting populist dance is always one of the most ignored areas of music (see also non-charting populist rap or non-charting populist R&B) - see UK funky obv!
And I'm pretty sure no actual dance music review site has ever taken pop-dance seriously.
― Tim F, Friday, 10 December 2010 00:48 (thirteen years ago) link
tinie tempah album is pretty rubbish for the most part imo but miami2ibiza is slightly better than most of the shm/guetta shit. would rather listen/dance to crookers type stuff but there seems to be no actual charting/populist dance stuff in my top 100 tracks apart from uh telephone if that counts. maybe i can find a seamus haji remix of something to boost if desperate.
― modrić in paradise (blueski), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:52 (thirteen years ago) link
actually its the passion pit remix of telephone which def doesn't count
― modrić in paradise (blueski), Friday, 10 December 2010 00:57 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I think the Guetta track that's likely to get closest to any of these lists is actually a Kelis song.
― Matt DC, Friday, 10 December 2010 00:59 (thirteen years ago) link

UK funky has really replaced my pop-dance fandom over the last few years. I still liked a fair amount of stuff last year like the Ducksauce tune but this year the only thing i've really stanned for is Chris Sorbello's "So Lonely" (in both its Club Mix and Hook & Sling Mix forms).

The first Ducksauce tune was much better.

"Pon De Floor" might be the most universalising tune of the last two years in terms of critical and popular support combined...?
