I'm still thinking that a lot of the complaints that revolve around lack of groove still come down to unimaginative deejaying. Maybe deej had the right idea earlier in the thread and some quick and nasty edits might have some benefit here?
Anyways I'm listening to Fake Blood at the moment, like his bass sounds.
And this is really old news but anyone give a shit about the Machines Don't Care album?

Blue strips aren't solar panels. They are decoration meant to evoke tangled strings on a broken guitar. (???) EMP is hideous, but I don't think that has much to do with its success/failure as urban object/public space. Its intent is to be "fun", and it succeeds on that level, in a ghastly sort of way. That said, they really do need to lose the ribbons.

That being said, I also know that I need to accept the fact that this stuff isn't coming from the dance music continuum and it shouldn't be judged according to the same criteria.
yeah
especially in terms of the midwestern US, there is no cohesive scene or fundamental set of ideas that drives this sort of music
it's just a bunch of lonely, isolated young people who seem barely aware of each other, let alone any sense of context or history to what they're doing
words like "bloghouse" that have been coined to describe this kind of thing are like the word "hipster" in that the essential meaning of the word is different from region to region - it's not like europe where there's any kind of aesthetic/historic/social continuity to it
it's less a genre than a vast collection of iChat file transfer windows that self-styled tastemakers occasionally try to pass off as a format
the minneapolis people mentioned in the thread are erol alkan acolytes and not really representative of the types of DJs that really push this kind of music, like the ones from chicago

also i mean you can finger big beat for birthing this but as far as i'm concerned the beastie boys have a lot to answer for here

only thing that bugs me about the cudi/crookers joint is the way crookers won't let the vocal lines end naturally and does that really wanky, arhythmic cutup shit with them
