HIPSTER RUNOFF

[MP3]
Desire Dans Mes Reves

Grade: 6.1243 out of 10 runoffs
Review: From what I have 'internet researched', DESIRE is a new sound project utilizing the Johnny Jewel + 1 female structure. These bands essentially rely on the high level italo disco core production capabilities of Johnathan Jewel, and hope that the female is 'marketable'/'has a sexie dreamie voice/look.'

Does an authentic disco band like Hercules and Love Affair automatically transform any song into a 100% authentic experience, even if they are 'mainstream alt legends' like Cut Copy?

I feel like Hercules & Love Affair is so authentic that my parents 'made me listen 2 it' as a kid or something.

I am a bro who 'found out about disco' after I heard bloghouse, so it's gonna take me a while to understand 'where it all came from.' Even though I have heard that it 'used 2 b around in the 70s', I am still convinced that authentic disco is a new genre that has nothing to do with old disco.

I found this 'clifnotes doodle' of where disco came from. Does n e 1 know if this is the accurate history of disk0?

Did yall know that Chromeo was disk0?
CAN SOME1 PLZ TELL ME THE HISTORY OF DISCO?
I THOUGHT JAMES MURPHY INVENTED IT.

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.

I haven't heard that many original MGMT songs beyond "Kids", "Electric Feel" and "Time To Pretend." Those songs are like 1000 blog years old, so it's pretty indicative of their mainstream success that they are getting rmxes by big remixers long-after the initial album buzz. I have heard the Justice & Soulwax remixes of their songs, which were generally underwhelming (sorry--maybe just a lil bit too conceptual 4 me).

However, I think the authentic-disco-remix-aesthetic does a great job of enhancing their song "Of Moons Birds and Monsters." While MGMT's 'psychedelic'/retro/southern-rock/however-they-have-been-marketed aesthetic has sort of led me to believe that they are sort of like 'the new Of Montreal' where you don't understand why they are GOOD, but a lot of people would tell you that they are GOOD/lots of people get over-excited about their concert/they eventually become a Top 10 'indie' band that music festivals MUST HAVE.

n e ways I like this RMX. <3 HOLY GHOST! <3 Are they the new MSTRKRFT cuz they can 'fix' n e song?

Yall, I'm not longer a 'bloghouse blog.' I'm looking to move into being an 'authentic disco' blog and a 'post-bloghouse blog.'

This Holy Ghost! cover of In Flagranti is pretty authentic. I'm not even sure if I can comprehend my affinity towards the song; however, as I evaluate 'emerging sounds+aesthetics', I understand that enjoying it will enhance my personal brand.

<3 authentic disco <3

I have been listening to "LADY" by the Chromatics a lot lately. I remember when I wrote abt Glass Candy vs. the Chromatics, and I feel like I'm gonna spend my whole life trying to figure out which 1 I like more. Both of them have their moments (kinda like life).

Yall I've been listening to so much authentic disco in 2k8 Q3. I wonder if authentic disco is the new BLOGHOUSE or if authentic disco = blog house.

This song is pretty heavie/thick.

XX BONUS JOHNNY JEWEL SEQUIN TEAR PHOTO XX

I think I'm in 'man crush' with Johnny Jewel. His sequin tears mean he is willing to get vulnerable in all the ways that I need.

I feel like AUTHENTIC DISCO is the only 'faggy dance music genre' that every1 feels comfortable appreciating these days. Whether it's the electro-bloghouse-authdisco act GLASS CANDY, or the P4kcore+authentic disco acts HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR or THE CHROMATICS--these acts can be legitimately appreciated by entry-level alts & 38 year old music critics for the same reasons.

I think people feel like they can appreciate authentic disco because it's more meaningful than blog house/they think the 'disco sound' has had a relevant impact on society+music history. The thing about modern authentic disco is that I am not 'blown away' by it, but I am strangely drawn into aligning my personal brand with it.

It's sort of like wearing a 'retro' jersey/baseball cap of a formerly authentic sports team to prove that you are a 'real fan' of what sports are 'truly all about.'

Gregg Gillis will wear this retro hat from his hometown team in 2k10 when mainstreamers start to accuse him of being 'too mainstream.'

****RELATED AUTHDISCO MP3 *****

I wonder if Fan Death will be considered authentic disco enough to start getting some m0re mainstream 'web magazine' coverage if Hercules and Love Affair stop generating enough tour dates to keep blurbing about.

FAN DEATH: if they make more songs, can HRO spend a whole month talking about how HOT they are?

Fan Death already has conceptual 'web' art, much like Crystal Castles's faceless promo pix. Does ur startup myspace band have conceptual web media?

A lot of people always tell me to 'bl0g abt new music', but most new music isn't rlly even that good. Srry yall--just being honest. Sometimes I wish I could hear an epic-banger per day, but that would be kind of like expecting to get a ___job from a hot alt _____ per day

N e ways... Here is a track brought 2 u by The Coalition for Better Electro-Blogging: A Joint Tastemaking Venture by Big Stereo and Discodust

BigSterryBro says that THE GOLDEN FILTER is a project by a pre-existing band. Discodust says that the GOLDEN FILTER = 'the new Little Boots.' I just want 2 know the truth--why do bl0gbands have 2 b s0 mysterious? I would put this track in the emerging genre of authentic disco.
