"Under the Sun" now playing and Jordan is a crack-smoker. There.

Too much of the soundtrack to the 80s remix of Fritz Lang's Metropolis and not enough Timbaland.

I agree w/ Jordan to the extent that I generally prefer the more R&B-ish tracks.

Ratatat was surprisingly good, seeing as I hated them the last time I saw them. Maybe it was because I was farther back in the crowd. and dancing.
and was it me, or did Mouse on Mars just break it fucking open after the first 3 songs? About the time where they said they'd play something with more rhythm, it became absolutely incredibly fun.
and there definitely wasn't enough dancing.

"Opening the show is Canadian duo Junior Boys, whose debut album, Last Exit (Domino/KIN), fuses mopey indie-pop vocals to spare synth melodies and fractured microhouse beats. The songs sound to me like minimal Timbaland remixes of obscure Pet Shop Boys tunes—and that’s not a compliment."
Come on! In what world does Timbaland remixing the Pet Shop Boys not sound awesome???

That said the Timbaland tracks Junior Boys theoretically take their cues from are like five years old.

Although really if you're gonna be strict about it I always thought a 2-step connection was easier to make out than a clear and distinct Timbaland connection - Steve Gurley particularly.

Everyone quotes it a lot but I love that line in "Deliverance", "Solid on the surface as I crumble within/but legends are made out of vulnerable men"

Definitely more of a Neptunes man. That Kenna album is something else, innit, even if it was recorded three years ago.

Ah good! You and Dan and I can form a united front against Scott Seward on this matter. ;-)

Someone call Liz Phair and see if she can get him fired again.
