Wow, they're terrible. Seriously, I couldn't even sit through more than 60 seconds of each. Sounds like music for a Brussels 'Tea-Dance'.

I kept reading the term 'Electroclash' and I was like, hey, what does Electroclash sound like? I had no idea. So I listened to it, and realized I don't like it, no sir, not at all.

I think this: http://www.rathergood.com/gaybar/ is the only good 'Electroclash' song.

My freshman year in college, when electroclash was huge (Felix the housecat, Miss Kitten, the first Fischerspooner) I was into it because it sounded fresh. Too bad it only turned out to be a years worth of a terrible fad. The new fischerspooner wouldve been good if it came out years ago, but listening to it today, it sucks bad. LCD soundsystem was never good in my eyes.

I never really liked the term "electroclash" but I like a hope of acts using electro beats and 80's new wave/electro sounds. I think Felix da Housecat is great and acts like Peaches, Chicks on speed, Vive la fete. Also new acts as Nid & Sancy, Rex the dog (that Girls remix is amazing) and Vitalic. Those acts make great beats and have great live shows. Here in Utrecht, Holland we recently had a little festival called Nu Heroes which brings new heroes in the music scene. A lot of them, just as last year, had electro beats used and they are great bands.

Just don't put all that music in 1 box by calling it electroclash. Some acts die because of that (Fisherspooner). It is just good (and live damn good) music. I like it very much. but h� I'm a 80's kid. Maybe that helps :)

hmm... maybe that's the problem, I remember the 80s all too clearly, and hated 90% of all the music back then.



Only good thing to come out of the 80s (IMO) were the precursors to modern electronica.

really?



That was the song that both LCD soundsytem reminded me of.

but gay bar is typically rock-based, if you see the riffs it is played with on guitar...

I did not know that.



I'm afraid I do not make a very good music critic. My main problem is that I hate 99.9% of all the music that's made. It's very, very rare that I hear anything I like.



It's like Coachella... here's the line up:



Coldplay

Bauhaus

Weezer

The Chemical Brothers

Wilco

Keane

Snow Patrol

Rilo Kiley

Cafe Tacuba

Sage Francis

The Raveonettes

Bloc Party

Out of all of those acts, there's only 2 I have any interest at all in seeing.



The rest, I wouldn't even bother crossing the street for a free show.

LCD Sound System... I d/l'ed the CD (so sue me!) but after that it went in the bin immediately. Thank God I didn't buy it! Dunno what all the critics are raving about.

I like the new LCD Soundsystem - they are *not* electroclash so I don't know where you're getting that from 'stash.



I really hate the term electroclash, it just puts everything in a sealed box. Chuck the label I say.



Fischerspooner - well, it was a promo so what the hey. Can't say I'm thrilled with it but it was free so no skin off my back.

Bwah!!! X-D Except for Weird Al Yankovich and that pure shit your mother used to make you listen to on those long drives to visit the relatives.

LCD soundsystem



I had only really heard of them by name till last summer when I went to see them at Benicassim, none of my friend were interested so I walk over to the stage by my self, waited for them to come on, which in the end they were about 30 mins late if I remember right and then went they got on stage the sound quality was not very good so I left after a few songs, after that I had a bad impression about them, but I have heard their album now I think they are alright nothing really to write home about though.

I'd be VERY interested in seeing Chems, M83, UNKLE, Mercury Rev, Tiga & Four Tet. Those are the only artists from the list that I really like

Want to hear a nightmare?



Only two acts I want to see off that whole list... AND THE FUCKERS SCHEDULED THEM TO OVERLAP!!



I'll have to miss at least half of the Bloc Party set so I can go and muscle my way to the front of the stage for the chems.

No, I'm not kidding. Seriously, bands have to be really, really really good for me to listen to them. I mean, insanely good. Like Tom & Ed good.



what's so odd about having very particular taste in music? At least I'm not a genre whore, who ONLY listens to IDM, or pre-90s industrial, or, god forbid, only Light Jazz. I like a lot of different genres, but only certain acts, and even then, sometimes only certain albums by certain acts, speak to me.



I'll probably see Mercury Rev, cuz of Surrender.
