Yall. Just found out about an exciting new subgenre called ’space disco.’ I think it is in the Authentic Disco family, except the songs are ‘a little bit more spacey’ and sort of wander for a little while. It’s exciting though. Love learning about new terms that encapsulate what I’m listening 2, kinda like the first time I heard the word ‘indie’ in 1992.
Appreciating DFA makes me feel more authentic. Like I appreciate music on a higher level than all of the ‘typical bloglectro trash’ that has corrupted our youth for the past 12 blog months. Might even start to appreciate YACHT, but I haven’t made up my mind yet.
Should I like Yacht, or should I wait til they have more songs that were produced at the DFA HQ?
(Should I start 2 crush on the girl in Yacht? She seems kinda kute & attainable & ‘not weird’/'moderately in touch with reality’ unlike most HRO it girls. Just want an it-girl to settle down with, yall)
N e ways, here is a song by RUNAWAY that I feel comfortable aligning my personal brand with since there is 0% quirkiness and 110% authentic disco.

Runaway Brooklyn Club Jam (Brennan Green’s Version)”

the girl in yacht is the girl in the blow, but the blow still trumps yacht in terms of likeability and goodness.

Ruthie, that’s not right. Jona, the boy from YACHT, was in the Blow. Claire, the girl from YACHT, was not. It’s Khaela who is now the only member of the Blow, and she is one rad lady.

You should start liking YACHT now CRLS because that way when they blow up, you can say “Oh, you’re just starting to like them now” to other alts hence, confirming your authenticity.
At the same time, should they not get popular, you can just accuse other alts of not truly being ‘with it’ and that they don’t ‘get it’.
You win either way.

shit is supposed to be from 77-82 and kinda boring a little.

phoebe gets it right but fails to mention that Claire is Jona’s girlfriend and, thus, not very attainable after all.

Dig how authentic that house is.

r u serious? YACHT was big back in late 2006 slash early 2007 and peaked in the legitimate hipster scene with the “Yacht on a Yacht” show May of last year. it’s been downhilll ever since as far as this genre goes. no one in portland listens to this anymore. but claire l. evans is bomb.

THE BLOW vs YACHT
The Blow wins every time, but this new girl in YACHT is much more effable.
i also want to add that the girl from The Blow used to be in The Microphones.
