Call me old fashioned (I'm up there in age but not as old as "Gramps"), but I just don't understand this shit. What is so wonderful about vibrating your entire car to the point of not understanding one friggin' word or anything else music related with the song you are playing? I enjoy a bit of heavy bass with the music of my choice, but that crap completely ruins the "enjoyment" part for me.

Then you have never listened to Drum and Bass.
I agree, for most genres so much bass just outright sucks, but with DnB, its heaven.
I know the problem of that because I listen to normal electronic music and DnB. I would need completely different subwoofers and enclosure for it to sound well with the other electronic music, but with DnB it sounds fantastic.

Dude, this guy's car stereo couldn't possibly sound good no matter what you're putting through it. His windows and doors and the panels and the entire damn frame of the car are vibrating and rattling and drowning out whatever the speakers are supposed to be putting out.


Any car would with so much power. That doesnt mean he would use all that power all the time. If I turn my volume up it sounds like crap too, but I only use it rarely at full volume.

Are you really genre bending if the genres you bend are all firmly within contemporary electronic music tradition? I think these electronic guys would be much more free if they thought of these sub-genres as 'techniques' rather than trying to conform to a narrow set of sub-genre-specific aesthetic rules. I love electronic music, but it has more conformist tendencies than just about any other genre I can think of, which is ironic, because when you use a computer as your musical instrument there are few limits to what you can do sonically.

Certainly electronic music can be good. Henry hates it. I think it can be good but is in general inferior, especially if it has no live component. The enjoyment of music is heightened when played live and shared in a venue that is conducive to live performance. To put it in vulgar terms, masturbation is great, but it is just not as good as fucking. All of which are opinions that you can do with as you will.

while i agree with a lot of what he said, it seem like he's dissing electronic music..?


If the electronic music can't be performed live, he's most certainly dissing it.
That's like saying if movies that's be performed live, they are no good.
I disagree with this point of view. There is plenty of extremely creative and imaginative music that can't be performed live.

Whoops! Yes he is dissing electronic music.

Love me some FSOL!
Their album ISDN is probably in my top 5 for electronic music, if I had to make a list...
