i should have added that the "attention" part of my post was even a failure to her.

You really have no idea how lucky you are to be several seas away from (the thankfully extinct) Trash club.

Having said that, Fischerspooner were awesome for about a single-and-a-half.

Everyneurotic 07.28.2008 05:27 PM

ohh crap, i totally forgot about fischerspooner, there's a whole genre like them?

i shudder at the thought.

when hipster got a hold of the eurodance/techno movement of the early 90's, it all went to shit, innit?

leakyheadboy 07.28.2008 05:32 PM

Fischerspooner were the electroclash band, the industry invented the tag for them.

Eurodance turns out roughly one entirely amazing song a year then returns to producing about 40 singles a week of turgid shite.

This year's entry
Another year's entry, which I'm sure everyone's aware is my favourite song ever
Literally very good
The implacably brilliant/rubbish Scooter

iggy pop is as far from crazy as you can get.

he used to be wild, that's different.

I'm not convinced any singer is properly crazy apart from the ones whose brains have been buggered by LSD.

Anyone who bothers too much about the existence of genuises will be 200 % more likely not to be one.
