Have yall heard of this genre called BLOG HOUSE? I can’t rlly explain it, but fortunately CurrentTV had a few moderately-alt bros in cryptic graphic tees explain what it is.
[video may not be viewable in your RSS reader]
What does BLOG HOUSE mean to you? I don’t really know where blog house starts and stops. Here is a list of bands, and whether I consider them blog house or not.
Burning question: JUST BC U PARTICIPATE IN THE REMIX ECONOMY, ARE YOU BLOG HOUSE?
- The Teenagers (yes)
- Justice (no. Too bangery, but maybe. I don’t rlly know abt them any more. We’ll have more answers after their 2nd album.)
- Cut Copy (pre-dated blogs)
- Ladyhawke (not sure yet)
- Feist (no)
- Feist (Boys Noize Remix) (deffs)
- Simian Mobile Disco (too intelligent, but they attract bloghouse fans)
- Klaxons (not usually electro-enough)
- Animal Collective (did u srsly just ask that? ur ghey and don’t know shit abt music)
- Valerie artists (kind of. I think they are trying to be more than ‘a hot trend’)
- Mediocre electro producers (kind of, but they probably don’t deserve to be lumped into the same category as tier-1 blog house track)
- Lifelike (POSSIBLY, but he’s pretty authentic)
- Fred Falke/Alan Braxe (Pre-dated blogs, but are getting a great bump from blog luv)
- Fake Blood (Have to listen to him soon. Who is he?)
- Bloody Beetroots (Maybe, I don’t know. Never heard them)
- The Black Kids/The Cool Kids (I still don’t know the difference between these two artists)
- Black Ghosts (POSSIBLY. Not really sure. Probably)
- MGMT (They could have been if people only listened to the song “Kids” and “Electric Feel”)
- Lil Wayne/Coldplay/Radiohead (They are always popular on hypem, does this mean they are blog house?)
- Santogold/M.I.A./Kid Sister (Are black females allowed to be considered blog-house? or can they only be marketed as rappers?)
- The Ting Tings (Haven’t bothered 2 listen to them)
- The Presets (not sure. Maybe. Probably)
- Van She (Yeah. I think they are tier 1 blog house)
- Lykki Li (MAYBE)
- Robyn (she should be working at a McDonalds. She doesn’t deserve a 2nd wind)
- PNAU (they are blog house-ish in this era of their careers)
- M83 (NO. Shoegazers are not BLOG HOUSE. They are just easy to blog about.)
- Girl Talk (Way too mainstream/has a floating audience)
- HEALTH (Are they they the only hardXcore bloghouse act in existence?)
- HEARTSREVOLUTION (I think they think any1 can be ‘blog house’ so they are just trying to match the aesthetic, but BLOG HOUSE is an honor, not a right.)
- Crystal Castles (I think they are kind of like
- INTERPOL (no way.)
- Junior Boys (I feel like there are bands that should try to be MORE bloghouse, and get involved a little bit more in the remix economy.)
- Gentlemen Drivers (I feel like their unauthorized remix of the Klaxon’s “Not Over Yet” is one of the blog-houseiest songs of all time)
- Midnight Juggernauts (maybe. Probably)
- Does it Offend You, Yeah? (Tough to tell with those British bands for British People)
- LFO song “Summer Girls” (yes)
- Ladytron (Isn’t it kind of interesting how some electro-ish bands predated the BLOG era, and don’t really NEED bloglove, but have still kind of made themselves available [via blogs] to make sure they stay connected with their target audiences?)
- Lo Fi Fnk (Probably)
- New Young Pony Club (probz, ya)
- The song “Young Folks” by Peter Bjorn and John (It depends on ur definition of blog house)
- Sébastien Tellier (I don’t know about that weirdo guy)
- Shinichi Osawa (He makes remixes that are s0 good that they might be post-bloghouse-core)
- Thieves Like Us (After their epic remix contest of 2k7, they have to be BLOG HOUSE)
- THE HIPSTER RUNOFF (His first EP signaled the end of the blog house era, and the beginning of the post-bloghouse era [2009-2010.5])
- The Tough Alliance (Those guys are pretty authentic in a weird way that I like/feel awkward about)
- Breakbot (I don’t know anything about that guy but he seems weird based on his pictures)
- CSS (I would feel more comfortable if they were ‘only’ a blog house band that I semi-enjoyed as opposed to being an ‘international phenomenon in iTunes commercials’ that I have to not whole-heartedly enjoy)
- CFCF (ya. Pretty blog-housey)
- Chromatics (somewhat)
- Glass Candy (Somewhere between BLOG HOUSE and PITCHFORK-HOUSE, which is a good place to be)
- Chromeo (this is a brain teaser!)
- Daft Punk (n0 way)
- Digitalism (Maybe just the song “POGO”)
- Creed (no)
- David Matthews (yes)
- Rob Thomas solo (no)
- Santana (ft Rob Thomas/Michelle Branch) (yes)
Did I miss any 1? (besides the Postal Service)
I feel like as a general rule, if BIG STEREO or MISSING TOOF blogged about you in 2006 or the first half of 2007, you are a blog house band whether you like it or not. I never really read music blogs back then, but if I had to guess, I think that rule would apply. There’s just something very AMERICAN about the term ‘blog house’ as if some AMERICAN guy invented the term even though it didn’t make too much sense, so it makes sense that two of the top American Electroblogs would be responsible for accidentally blogging BLOG HOUSE into existence.
I am unsure if the definitive characteristic of BLOG HOUSE is that the artist gained steam thanks to blogs, or if it ‘just sounds a certain way.’ Theoretically, STEREOGUM is a launching pad for a lot of underwhelming, yet historically significant-sounding meaningful-core indie-rock. Like Vampire Weekend or something like that. Is BLOGHOUSE about sounding a certain way, or is it just like ‘a lot of ppl searched for it on hypemachine and downloaded it, and they got remixed since people wanted free versions of their songs so much.’
Anyways, BLOGS are great for finding new music, and reading the opinions of people who don’t even matter (just like U!). Love all yall blogs, whether or not yall are creating blog house bands or not.
Just as long as the music is free, and the content stream is consistent, that’s all any1 rlly wants. Whether it is on the radio or on some sillie internet site or even inside of your local RCRD Store, we are all just trying to meet the needs of consumers. Good thing blogs don’t write 2 much and appeal to the attention span of Generation Y. Love yall for buying so much stuff and being a demographic that advertisers want 2 reach.
BLOG OR DIE.
MY EARS ONLY LISTEN 2 BLOG HOUSE.
BLOGGING MAKES YOU A BETTER PERSON.
DOWLOADING MUSIC FROM BLOGS MAKES YOU A MORE INTERESTING MUSIC FAN AND/OR HUMAN BEING.

-Plato, 2k10
***THE MOST [HIGHLY BLOGGABLE] HIT OF 2k8 so far?****
Embrace ft. Ladyhawke (Fred Falke & Miami Horror remix) is s000 blggbl right now.
Have yall heard this song yet? So bloggable, so electro-transcendental that GorillaVsBear blggd it. It might be the REMIX that we have been waiting for since we slipped out of our mothers’ wombz. It is remixes like these that give meaning to the lives’ of electro-bloggers, and throw new fuel on the never ending flame that is the “BLOG HOUSE” genre.

BLOG HOUSE = end of hipsterism, when everything just implodes upon itself. Hipsterism is now no different than the conformist frat/sorority scene, where there’s nothing new anymore, and everything is just another recycled “remix” of something that came before it. Electro has no future.

We need to bring back the concept of “merit-based music” — actual written music based on the creative talent and originality of artists and musicians, rather than this easily-forgotten “remix-music” made by someone with computer software, who happens to know someone who knows someone, and is popular for that month just because it was posted on the “right” blog.

it takes a lot more talent to write a song than to make a remix or to “lay down tracks”. it’s only going to be a matter of time before someone comes out with computer program with an “auto-remix” button. the irony is that whoever writes this program probably has a lot more talent than anyone who’s making remixes today.

Unbelievable. I’m not sure what to find funnier.
1. The blog’s author having no idea that blog house requires the music to have some connection to… wait for it… _house_.
2. The blog’s author completely embarrassing themselves with a giant list of “yes” entries that have nothing to do with house, let alone blog house.
3. The blog’s author appearing to have no idea that the term blog house has been around for at least two if not three (or even more) _years_. Not days, not weeks, not months, _years_.
4. The blog’s readers being equally clueless.
Let me run it down for all of you:
A few years ago, when modern electro house (as famously demonstrated by the French, but certainly also creditable to others) hooked up with the various flavors of dance rock (disco punk and what have you) and had little children, the blogs were there and blog house was born.

“A few years ago, when modern electro house (as famously demonstrated by the French, but certainly also creditable to others) hooked up with the various flavors of dance rock (disco punk and what have you) and had little children, the blogs were there and blog house was born.”
And…
Stop using the word “Hipsterism” …… It just sounds lame!!!!!!
Reply
This whole " Blog House " thing is really just a joke that got out of hand…… A lot like something referred to as " New Rave ".
Come on people…. Just because you put two words together… It is not a new musical genre! Ever heard of slang?????
People are trying so hard to create more diversity than necessary. Many of the European DJs/Bands laugh at all these sub genres & sub-sub- genres that people use to classify them.
Sure.. Adjectives are fun… We all should use them to help describe stuff like music. But does that mean that with everybody's new slang way of describing a band or DJ's sound, that the media and the masses will latch on to it as if it's a new genre of music????

Blog house isn’t some vague term applying to a broad spectrum of indie dance artists. It refers simply to unsigned, relatively unknown bedroom EDM producers who are able to disseminate mp3s of their original productions/remixes and gain a little recognition via blogs that champion this underground music. Some of them go on to sign with real, albeit small indie labels, and others just fall off the radar after one or two blog posts.
Is blog house a good thing? In the end, it probably is. It means we have effectively transitioned into more democratic, egalitarian and anti-corporate advantages in the “music industry” – the musical proletariat has reclaimed the means of production to distribute music freely to millions of listeners. It also means you’ll never become a millionaire pop star, because no one will ever pay $19.99 for your CD again, but that will have no impact on the continuing quality of mankind’s musical output. Good art is always made for its own sake.
