cant resist- when does daft punk go on?

right after cobralegs.

lol at spank rock again probably no-showing

Mountain & Dew.

Matt and Kim seem to have taken every opportunity to sell out that came down the pike. Mountain Dew, Scion, Mini Cooper, lots more. On top of that, they signed to Fader, which is really Cornerstone, a marketing company.

That said, new record is not bad. Too many handclaps and drum machines on most of the songs, but "I wanna" is fucking triumphant and terrific

selling out? what are you, in high school?

the music is the product, unfortunately you are not the only consumer.

i agree completely with your assessment of the album though.

it becomes a bit more complicated reducing the charming simplicity or
even naivete of song craft and replaces it with studio trickery

i think that live performances of the songs will be quite good but the
use of stereo effects, reverb and other trickery takes me out of the
immediacy of the previous works

it's almost like the band is now Matt and Kim and The Record Producer

This would be fine if the album did not suffer from these flourishes, but i think that the album is a bit lesser for it.

OH SHIT GANG GANG

if they keep putting on free shows with free booze, they can sell out all they want.

the moutain dew and black swan wine shows were highlights of last year.

What time does Tom Yaps hit?

I hate to go there but why is Santogold pooping her egyptian space suit?

my my 5:27, aren't you familiar with Matt and Kim's commercial entanglements. you don't, perhaps, work for the band or their label do you?

you left out the Colt 45 21+ bar only tour

converse too

I would have been happier if Spank Rock had no-showed last night; his short set left me totally underwhelmed, and only made the waiting before the main set longer. In fact, all of the "special guests" excepting Rude Mechanical Orchestra (who killed it) were pretty close to insufferable. Great energy from Matt & Kim, though, as usual.
