ATTN @Borgore fans- A good lot of you have been harassing our female employees; please refrain from this or you too will be banned

Had to look up what a hell a Borgore was and thus I laugh:

Borgore stated in an interview that his stage-name is a mixture of both his birth surname Borger, and the word "gore". Thus making Borgore.

i really really really wanna know what compelled whoever runs the 7-11 account to tweet abt deadmau5

As markers revealed on Facebook, though, turns out it isn't:

I saw Deadmau5 in Victoria Park this summer.

my condolences

He had a tune called Faxing Berlin a few years back which I really liked. It's not like he's that unknown - been all over Mixmag and things for months and months.

no one said he's unknown. i mean, read the thread title.

It's not like he's that unknown

Apparently he's catching on with a very youthful crowd!

h8 that 9-year-old

On a related note, where were the sweet electro-rave dance parties when we were that young?

deadmau5 is really mad at madonna for naming her new album MDNA

https://www.facebook.com/deadmau5

seriously, i giveth not a fucking single FUCK for slating on madonna for reaching an entirely NEW level of idiocy ... i can appriciate her meteoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? That's your big contribution to EDM? Thats your big message to ultra attendies? hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? fuck off you fucking IDIOT. fuck.

yeah, i really kinda leeeeeeeeroy jenkins'd that shit huh... MDNA / Molly / MDMA / whatever .. something about a track? still seems the same to me, coz its still, in my opinion, unecciscary promotion of the shit that really held EDM down for years.

Now, weve taken EDM so far in the past decade, so goddamned far. It really hurts me to see rampant ADVOCATION of extreme bullshit lifestyles to a genre that spans pretty much any age gap these days. Of course, ill always have my opinions about this or that… and yeah, its my personal choice not to do drugs, but im not on a fucking crusade to stamp out other peoples personal choices by no means. fuck being a crusader. Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.

Why is everyone calling it EDM all I a sudden?

Of a sudden...

who put sand in his blou5

this guy sucks shit

it is quite a challop to claim that ecstasy has been an obstacle to the popularity of electronic dance music

i could say a lot of shitty things about Madonna, but one thing she's never done is walk around with a big mouse head on her head.

it used to be that DJs got mad at madonna for stealing voguing

'Eezer Good! Eezer Good!' vs 'Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.'

no wonder it's taking so long for the US to embrace dance music.

fwiw, fuck club drugs

haha what

sorry that was my irrational distaste for dance clubs speaking, I'm sure the drugs are fine

it is quite a challop to claim that ecstasy has been an obstacle to the popularity of electronic dance music

Lolllll

• He's still angry at Madonna for her appearance at the Ultra Music Festival in March, where she asked the audience, "How many people in this crowd have seen Molly?” – a barely coded reference to Ecstasy. "You want to be 'hip' and 'cool' and 'funky grandma'?," says Zimmerman. "Fine. It's not my place to say you're irrelevant. If you're gonna come into my world, at least do it with a little more dignity. I understand she has millions more fans, and is way more successful than I'll ever be. But it's like talking about slavery at a fucking blues concert. It's inappropriate."

Again he's somehow mistaking something being 'inappropriate' with it being 'one of, if not the main thing that made the genre happen'

I think Madonna looks plenty dignified these days. She's a dancer, she has a dancer's figure. I've had dance teachers and known dancers over 50 and that is how they present themselves. It's disappointing to see alleged "dance" music people ignorant about dance culture and history.

dude is kind of aggro, he should try some mdma

But it's like talking about slavery at a fucking blues concert. It's inappropriate.

speaking of inappropriate?

"If you're gonna come into my world, at least do it with a little more dignity"

surely madonna was fucking with 909s and house music while he was was a hairless little mau5 pup.

'slavery at a fucking blues concert' is a bit much no?

That said, ecstasy is pretty overrated as a drug. Why you need it to dance, I don't know. But lots of dance people have tried it so they understand what it does.

Still a joke about ecstasy is harmless. I don't think Madonna uses large quantities of drugs.

yeah madonna was working with dance music pioneers before he was born. the whole 'welcome to my world grandma' is the worst part of that quote by far.
