Justice - † Pretentious symbol = french dance?

A typical indie kid vicar? Find me some fucking typical indie kids who like alternative country and I'll make you very rich. It said Ryan Adams not Bryan Adams, theres a difference. I see you live in Ireland too, have you any idea how fucking difficult it is to even buy a Whiskeytown cd here? I had to spend 30 quid on one fucking Will Oldham CD, and I've paid that for Spacemen 3 stuff aswell, its certainly worth it but christ if thats what everyone else is doing then I must be living under a rock or something, I don't care about liking weird stuff for the sake of it being weird, I just want to find some people who like the same stuff that I get on with, given the points I made about the bands above its pretty unlikely without the internet.

What's ILM think of this?

I love Palms Out Sounds, but that post is basically quaint.

when a group's entire rep is pretty much blog/mp3-derived it's kinda hard to take that too seriously. sorry but it's true. i mean of all the bands.

i cannot believe they dragged bad religion into it

This actually makes me want to download the piece of crap and ysi it unsolicited on every forum eva.

But I will refrain.

why do I feel like I'm playing Castlemania during most of these tracks? I mean, I guess they sampled Goblin's Argento soundtrack (at least according to wikipedia), but they really turned up the gothic horror synths on a few of these ("Valentine," "One Minute to Midnight" etc). Most of it sounds nothing like D.A.N.C.E. and everyhting like "Carpates," the only snoozer on their first single.

i feel like i'm playing castlevania when i listen to studio's 'out there'

um, right. video game-related typo or has it just been that long that I actually thought is was Castlemania? I kind of hope it's the latter...

i feel like i'm in castlevania whenever i'm reading a dance thread on ILM. bats and hunchbacks all over the fucking place ... where's my whip?

ghost ride it

This is much better than I expected it to be!

it was better than i expected it to be too, there was a good song which wasn't 'waters of nazareth'

but still very very shit generally

was it d.a.n.c.e.?

considering you get down to like slint or whatever i cant imagine youre hating on this for being too corny hipster whatever

no it was 'stress'. i don't know who/what slint are/is

i cant imagine youre hating on this for being too corny hipster whatever

it's half that half abrasiveness+ADD-dance syndrome i think

slint or squeeze or smash or smog or whatever

Ethan there is a fine art to calling The Lex out on his indie band faves and you are frankly rubbish at it, even Passantino is better than you.

As far as the blog house canon goes right now - Black Strobe > Simian Mobile Disco > Justice > Digitalism BUT the much-maligned MSTRKFT album from last year might be better than all of them.

'Stress' is awesome but it does kind of add credence to Justice's whole "we make music without really knowing how to" schtick because if they DID know how to do it they would have made the beat 1000 times more slamming than it actually is. As it happens, they end up with a pretty flaccid 'tic' noise.

i disagree completely w/ that list

justice > blackstrobe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> simian + digitalism

'blog house' as a term is going to keep pissing me off for the rest of the year probably. i'll just call it blog dance perhaps.

Well at least you've given up on 'haircut electro'.

true heads will never give up on haircut electro.

i haven't given up on it! it's still a more accurate term for much of this stuff.

i gotta say jess and other folks being into this doesn't surprise me really, seems like its what people had been hoping rock music would do, incorporating dance and electronic-ness and fun and relative populism and all that (although this might be contradicted by vahid's 'this is real dance' thing). i havent really listened beyond the singles but i don't really get out of this what i like about dance music so i donno, maybe i need to listen to the album and its like the dance ac/dc or something but for right now i'm happy letting this stuff blow by w/out jumping on board.

i dont mean to argue the 'not real dance' perspective ... i think thats kind of a silly argument and i'm in favor of all the things justice represent w/out actually enjoying the singles i've heard, or something

it's like, i'll dance to this stuff when i hear it out, but that's more because i have v. limited going-out options here and it's better than not dancing if i'm in the dancing mood. but i can't be bothered to seek it out on my own, it just doesn't do for me what i like dance music to do

i gotta say jess and other folks being into this doesn't surprise me really, seems like its what people had been hoping rock music would do, incorporating dance and electronic-ness and fun and relative populism and all that

you got that backward there, chief
