A couple related loose ends here:
1) I forgot to mention in my Check Yo Ponytail post that it is FRIDAY and not Saturday. If you show up on Saturday you’ll be dancing alone because everybody else will be at Daft Punk… if you need tix our contest is still open so drop us an email before Friday: contests@bigstereo.net — please play fair.
Check Yo with Plastic Little and Thunderheist!!!
2) The Toof has an interesting post today pulling all the Kayne West/Daft Punk stuff into a nice, neat little package. I had been working on a Kayne West post for a couple weeks now, but it’s never gonna make it outta draft… So, to add a couple thoughts: Is Kayne West’s “Stronger” America’s acceptance of dance music? It seems like dance music in America has reached a level not seen since perhaps the disco days… which is quite exciting.
And if you remember just five years ago when P. Diddy struggled with electro — he was working with Hell and Felix Da Housecat and there were all the rumours of Diddy’s electroclash album. It’s kinda amazing how far we’ve come in such a short time. Either that or West just has bigger balls (which might go without saying).
3) AND AND AND. I’ve been sitting on this for a couple weeks, but I can’t wait any longer. To get you in the mood for Daft Punk taking over America, we have DJ Pumpkin Patch’s Daft Crunk mixtape. Oh man, I’m embarassed to say I won’t be catching Daft Punk “live”, but I am insanely jealous of anyone who does…
