but isn't the art of dance music PART of pop fun? In what way are they separate beasts?

Admittedly, no one here is responsible for providing that. I'll sit on my hands again.

Everyone likes 'Around The World', even some of my hip hop mates.

and everywhere where I bitched about Daft Punk I'm really bitching about Discovery. The three-four tracks I've kept were the ones that at least had pop hooks and a little less beat-fuckage monotony.

and I love how every time I complain about a song being "overegged" (a phrase I'm eternally grateful for Stevem bringing up on that Kish Kash thread where I was going all over the map instead of just admitting that the album as a whole struck me as crazy-busy) and overlong, people assume I can't dance to ANYTHING for a long time, something nobody who's seen me in a bar would imply.

Jaxx and DP represent for me the pinnacle of head+heart, fun+serious, dance+think, noise+song music. Who else can rival them for combining sonic invention (nobody can/does do what the Jaxx do, if they can I haven't heard it...no two bars the same, a different event every 4 beats, some subtle/missable even after 100 listens some unavoidably in yer face, a suitcase bursting with all kinds of ideas, Ratcliffe and Buxton sitting on top trying to keep it all in, and i think they manage to do this every time, preventing a complete mess - tho i know Miccio disagrees on this)
oh, same kinda true with Daft Punk of course, but in a different way

I still listen and dance to 'Good Luck' all the time, and I maintain that it comes incredibly close to just collapsing into chaos...but imo IT DOESN'T, and that's part of their genius
