FAO: DJs, DeadMau5 thinks you're a cunt.

Well surely you don't think this is bad publicity. This time next year I guarantee he'll be playing festivals all over the place, doing the occasional remix for some really big people and even occasionally getting into the charts. He'll never have to be in the same room as a DJ again, that's basically what the article is really saying. And threads like this just prove how successful a move it was.

The guy's totally disposable though. Personally, I think biting the hand that feeds you is always pretty dumb unless the full intention is to burn a bridge for good and not look back. Regardless, I've heard the name enough, seen some of the silly pictures, but still haven't heard one track from this kid and, in all likelihood, never will. If I do, I likely won't know and won't remember. About as quick as it felt like people started buzzing about him, he disappeared and all I kept hearing about was "Girl Talk." His schtick is simply too replacable for comments like this to do him any good. However, thing is, I highly doubt anyone who's buying his music much gives a **** anyways and will forget about him in the near future regardless.

He's a pretty good producer, to be fair.

I dunno man, I find his music tiresome. It might technically be good, but whats the point if it's bland as feck?

[TechMouse]

Meh, everything has a time and place.

I have a soft spot for very techy breaks.

This video makes me fill with rage, and I'm not sure why. I think it's the whole non sequitur nature of what he is doing. I like the design of the mouse outfit, but the intro sounds like I dropped my ballsack on a keyboard repeatedly and edited together random samples in Soundforge. He's a great example of this new school Daft Punk wannabe (ie Boys Noize, Danger, etc., and yes I like some of their stuff). These people rely on randomness at the expense of danceability and a coherent concept. And for god's sake, what festival is that? He's already so far removed from the crowd that he's lost the connection completely.

honestly, judging from the clip, he is fond of taking the piss. laughed my ass off at the joke bluescreen. i think he said it just to get a rise out of people.

that said, it could just as easily backfire on him.

Half of his fans will make the assumption that he means everyone else except his fans, and the other half will say 'who cares, as long as the tunes are good'. For everyone else he's now 'infamous', the guy who 'tells it like it is and isn't afraid to speak his mind' , and 'that guy in the mouse costume who swore in a magazine'. And that kind of publicity is worth a hell of a lot these days, no matter how transparent and limp it is. I wouldn't be surprised if just on BOA, 5 people start listening to and enjoying Deadmau5 just from reading this. At least.

By the end of the night this thread will be longer than almost all of the recent threads in this part of the forum, and it's about someone none of us should ever have even heard of. If that's not a successful publicity stunt then I don't know what is. At the end of the day, and i'm aware of the irony of saying this, but the reason stunts like this work is because people are ****ing idiots. There's nothing more exciting to them than a musician pretending to stick the middle finger up at 'the establishment' for no apparent reason.

(I am also aware of the irony of me posting 3 times on a thread that is encouraging Deadmau5, haha, so this will be my last, I promise)
