HIPSTER RUNOFF

I saw this photograph of Simian Mobile Disco playing live. It made me wonder if technology is ruining music. Both the way it is made and the way it is performed live. I know technology can be cool when it comes to stuff like blogs, digital pets, and iPhones, but it might be ruining music and the way that we buy CDs.

I am worried that former switchboard operators will have the upperhand in the future of music, as opposed to the people who truly care about making innovative music and other genres of intelligent-core electronic dance & trance-house music.

Most days, I'll just rely on making sillie comments about sillie people, but I'm going to do my best to provide more exclusive opinions, and new ways to think about issues that people haven't thought of yet.

Remember the dancing bloghouse skank that loved SMD a lot?

[HIGHLY RECCD VIDEO]

Watch this video of Simian Mobile Disco performing "It's the Beat." Don't watch it to see SMD turning knobs and using Ableton, but instead to see some hot sluttt dancing the whole way through, even though it's in a radio station, and no one else is dancing. I feel like it's probably one of the best documented unintentional-comedy moments in blog house history.

It's really mesmerizing. It sort the sort of thing that makes you wish you were there so you could grind your junk into her backside, and use the pickup line "Have you heard the Teenagers remix of this song?"

Well, it's not really invading the United States. Does INVADING mean playing the big cities like New York, Chicago, or LA? At what point can you call it an INVASION? When they have 25+ dates, including Jacksonville, FL, Baton Rouge, LA, and Marfa, TX?

Anyways, check out these mp3. A lot of people are introduced to Simian Mobile Disco with "Hustler," but here are some alternative beats.
