this is real

You know what, that seems wrong. Seems insane.

It must have been more.

sorry lads, don't actually like any of these records, theyre all shit. Just saying poptimism is much easier to pull off if you tune into the radio 1 playlist rather than try and view it through the prism of ilm or whatever.

 

[thirdform]

art pop is a disease. if you're going to be a poptimist go all the way.

 

[thirdform]

this is how to convince me to become a poptimist. you have to universalise me outside of london. turn me into someone from cheshire

 

[thirdform]

the universality of wub wub wub electro disco house.

would have honestly prefered to hear that shite than Drake on those well healed middle class dancefloors in Leeds. Not a grotty city at all anymore, totally gentrified.

one for @sadmanbarty - avant-garde peasant folk masterpiece.

the enchantment of the internet in newly proletarianised eastern european countries. naively endearing.


Real oompa loompa mutant clesmer vibes.

one for @blissblogger

That's it. Binning all my techno records. the intro of this proves it. redolent of nu beat and disco simultaneously.

and then the breakdown. pure joy. no more new labour created austerity. Cameron was the best thing which happened to this country. groovie with sidechained compression and rising tones. Proving the virtues of digital production. No weed smokers in Croydon using the technology to make sparce minimalist music. Go hard or go home.

cursed thread. this horrible euro/house music was going round in my head all night giving me a nightmare. finally understand what @luka is getting at. dance music should be banned. delete thread.

 

[thirdform]

there's no fun in poptimism.

 

[thirdform]

the subhuman euro nonce continuum.

It's inextricable from New Labour, Clinton, triangulation, economic optimism
