i had pizza earlier

i might get some beer then do more work then tomorrow i will buy an iphone

I'm drinking Bulleitt mixed with vanilla cream soda, its tasty.

This is both rock and dance, I'm kind of split between thinking of it as deep electroclash (joke) or Heavy NRG.

great thread so far

serious ILM threads RIP

thats mostly a good thing but i thought maybe ppl would have some insights here

yeah until tim or vahid shows up all youre gonna get is shenanagins and a <shrug emoticon>

Tim would be pretty ehh about the idea of Heavy NRG, I'm thinking.

My guess is that a lot of this music is of the use once and destroy variety.

But people really never expected anyone to care about disco 30 years later, so who knows?

every time ppl talk about how 'disposable' this stuff is i get all http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/1c/83/e3fe024128a0a540eed10110._AA240_.L.jpg

im open to the idea that some of this music is real good but its the DJs who are shitty

even though tracks like Digitalism's Jupiter Room can be very impressive when played out

this is a fuckin jam

and half the stuff on that chart you posted is good

huge difference between that and the people that trainwreck Young Jeezy into Please Mr Postman Bmore Version imo

It does really remind me of electroclash circa 2002 and electrohouse circa 2004, and a lot of the French stuff is obviously heavily influenced by Braxe, Bangalter and Co., but I'm not saying its all disposable.

I think Joakim's music is pretty obviously a labor of love, and it shows.

gr8080 is playing me some traxx that sound dope but also sound like they hew a lot closer to classic chicago disco-house like CZR or paul johnson or somebody -- with maybe a bit of a more glitchy beat, sorta derrick carter ish -- i enjoy the skippier/glitchier rhythm aspect

but this doesnt feel really radical or anything

I think fidget mostly exists as a DJ tool, for moving in between genres.

see to me that sounds more like this (czr rmx of bob sinclair)

the only time i ever really felt weird about dancing to this was after the chromeo show when flosstradamus was djing and they dropped dead prez's 'hip-hop' and all of my bougie white self-loathing and self-consciousness abt race rose to the surface as every dude in the 80% white audience started chanting along to 'white folx say it controls your brain'

haha i can 1-up you on that one -- i saw dead prez @ intonation fest and they had fred hampton jr come up on stage

you know probably these questions only even arise cause dance music has by far the highest aspie ceiling - once that dawned internet all bets were off - in fact im not sure any of this shit even exists irl

this club actually does this????

i had a girl come up to the booth once holing up her phone that had a request typed out on the screen so she didnt have to shout at me <3

if u didnt txt back "rip ur top off" im not sure we can be friends anymore

that AC/DC track that deej posted is a perfect example of my issue with most of this stuff-- i feel like lots of it is good for a minute or two then it does some grating stuttery breakdown and goes all glitchy then switches up into some other annoying section of the song then come back to the good part, gets you stoked on an awesome build again and then does the whole thing over again

which is why i like the voodoo chilli 12" deej posted a song of-- doesnt switch up too much.

here's another off the same 12" which is basically "the bomb" fucked with a little:

^prob too straight up disco house for this thread tho

what is the ac/dc track, i get video removed for that first link

the first vid is kid cudi crookers remix, 2nd vid is acdc crookers remix

both links are working for me, try refreshing the page

ok i will explain it to you all but you wont like it - its cause its frivolous - basically in the history of 21st century popular culture at some point people thought o i want to have fun and and thats cool cause who doesnt want to have fun - but then they forgot why they wanted to have fun in the first place - that is basically what happened

Now I'm really confused.

I'm with yah on the frivolity thing, but when has dance music not been frivolous?

all u need to know is that joe is the kind of dude what has "theories" and he has some sort of "theory" about like pop culture and all u really need to do is just sort of nod and type "otm" and ignore him

watch how i do it

otm

just nod along to the beat-theory son

Sorry, I'm a little drunk now. I get all serious when I'm drunk.

I co-sign entire thread. OTM

btw im watching this awesome show on fox where rich people go undercover in poor communities then pick a favorite from their new friends and give them a bunch of money

the secret millionaire? i saw the promos for that is it good??

alleviating wealth-guilt one night in front of the idiot box @ a time

this really well intentioned clueless fast food chain owning couple is on - im starting to feel bad for them

hahah they just spent $90 of the $107 dollars they have for the week on groceries

lol the dude is worried that people are going to recognize him from his fabulously famous chicken finger chain

people seem to be totally aware that these millionaires want to give them money

im watching house and considering adding the young doctor chick to the would smash thread

yah house is pretty sexy no homo

omg i had to change the channel cause the giving away the money part was too embarrassing and now theres some show w/celebrities in africa feeling bad and giving away money - is this what tv is gonna be like during the new great depression - this sux

i kind of love it, because the fantasy goes either way--like, i can be the poor people receiving all the money or the rich people being all generous and going to heaven

yah house is pretty sexy no homo
