who listens to this kind of thing, huh?

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

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
