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

[MARK ANXIOUS]

deadmau5?

i kinda like him. but i dont. i kinda like what he's doing, but i dont.

at the end of the day, this is a huge media hype. so before you even talk about him or his music, chill out and think. it's all to provoke a reaction. this mouse head. the guy understands the media, the reaction. respect to him for that. and if i'm being honest, i think techno needs to understand that more anyway.

if you actually look at that video, there's actually f all crowd there. i've played us/canada soooooo many times and that vid is at a time at a big party when the vibe has kinda gone and you're left with a load of ppl who are ****ed who will dance to absolutely anything. you can see why his promo ppl got it on the net cant you!!!

Imagine Europe after his PR ppl have done their campaign - 'wow, look at those skyscrapers!!!', look at that party that looks so different to the UK!!!

ok, so that aside. what about the music? well it's not my thing but i respect what he's doing with the lappy. but then again i don't. hmmm i really don't care what the media has reported he's said about dj's but some of those things he's doing with his laptop are just damn primitive. really easy. he's not really doing anything any of you all could do. it's not exactly innovation. listen to it!!!!!!

ok this is just my opinion, perhaps i've had a mental weekend and i need some sleep hehe. but i reckon this is another thing called 'fashion'. this whole laptop thing is just provoking a reaction. which is what fashion needs.

imho if you're into good music, dont even let it get you down. but understand the power of pr.

He should pull a stunt that's actually interesting... Maybe kill himself onstage inna GG Allin stylee (not that GG did, he died in a pool of his own piss surrounded wi needles BUT he >had< always threatened a MEMORABLE ONSTAGE SUICIDE)

As smear says, things like this happen cause they get a result, it's like candy for babies - the majority of spastics will lap it up.

"remember that guy dressed as a mouse - he was awesome" etc etc

Music 'scene' - CIRCUS CREDENTIALS >INTACT<

Yeah, but I would overlook the (admittedly kinda cool) costume if he had good music to back it up.

I just listened to a Boys Noize live set, and it was similar. Very plastic, "heavy" electro house feel and meandering pace. I think good live PAs take years to assemble, but these people have been chosen by the masses, thrust into the headlining spots, and now need to hastily put together acts to justify the billing.

It's all quite transparent.
