Ahh. Gush gush gush. I had to rewatch DiG! after hearing the news. Such a good film.
This post is also quite important for zac (oscar milde) and I, as we would like to take this opportunity to officially denounce our faith. Well…at least half of it. I just dont feel it in my bones anymore. Just the saturation of fluorescence and the feeling like I never really hear anything new and fresh. Just the same old processed cheese compressed electro remixes etc etc. I will still always love The Presets, Cut Copy, Daft Punk etc, but I know the end is nigh and feel the need to escape the ‘jockish cult that surrounds the genre’ as Guy Blackman happened to put it. So, hopefully from now on Ill be trying to post as much more diverse sounds as I can for anyone who’s willing to listen and have a chat about what they think. Whether its anything new or just something thats just good. Theres always going to be the occasional DFA track (because I still love them) and Presets remix cos you always have to have something to dance to, huh.
Anyway, thats my rant for the night. So…yeah. Dig, in my humble opinion, the best track off the new album ‘My Bloody Underground’, and get tickets asap whenever they get properly announced.
