haha thats what i was about to say..gnarls barkley? ceelo and dangermouse? soul will never be "hot hot hot" and neither is ceelo's voice...very acquired taste.
and emotronica or whatever is really developing in a whole different sphere than dance music...indie kids and hipsters and post-rockers etc....i know lots of these types...and now they're digging into old chi house and stuff. mostly they dont really get detroit techno...i dunno...it's pretty weird. gentrification of electronic music pt 17 every year of the festival there has been plenty of detroit techno, underground electro, underground house...with a sprinkling of more popular stuff. this year that's flipped, err except no electro at all so far and uh...welll...we'll seeee the festival was special for being a "success" (doh!) even while it pushed lesser-known (but QUALITY) electronic music -- the kinda stuff 313 used to be about. it's no surprise if it cant keep doing that....but it also loses everything that made it so special. i'm really tired, feeling cynical...i should just leave it to MEK, who i think has put things very eloquently... ><ot> >Gnarls barkley sucks fatty.
