GAH

I love the French electro scene. A lot of people love the French electro scene. I feel like a dick head when I say "French electro scene", but god dammit, its good. We all know the artists that contribute, and we all have something we like about them. The shitty thing is, when something becomes popular, someone else is going to want in on the action. It was only a matter of time until someone ripped of the electro sound, and it appears to be the very Kanye West who was whining about loosing the MTV Music Video Award to Justice last year. The footage of him performing his new track at the Hiro Ballroom in NYC says it all.



Sampling is cool, and remixing is cool too, but Goldigger was annoying, you are too, Kanye.

maybe it's just the quality of the video, but that sounded terrible

what kanye did to justice really made me realize that he's just a dick. i thought he was cool, but after that, absolutely not.

and i agree with jer, it sounded really shitty, and i'm pretty sure it wasn't because of the sound quality.

pitchfork actually just posted a story about this new track and a video to go with it:

I LOVE PITCHFORK.

I hear Electroma has NO Daft Punk tunes in it. Disappointing, but understandable.

Not only that, Electroma is totally silent. Its French and artsy, so you PROBABLY wouldn't understand...
