Second spring for Electroclash (Page 4 of 17)

sander, an artwork says nothing about the music. I have stupid Devo cover-artworks in my head... just an example.

Before the Poney I was playing a lot of straight techno, after Poney I became interested in more melodic "electro" music.

that shit and devo are two very different tastes of bad artwork imo too. different time, different contexts - cannot compare then and now. headlamps in 2009? pfff, he was clearly going to impress some "oddball" "hipsters" or what?

don't feel any second coming of electroclash here. it was in for a while, mutated into benassi and that kind of shit electrohouse and then gradually everyone was plaing minimal plink plonk shit. one place you get to hear miss kittin is totally tasteless anything goes retro-parties. I cannot listen to any of the fisherspoon tiga pony shit, just can't force myself to the effort of even trying it out so that I know who I'm dissing when there is so much great stuff I have no time to listen to. miss kittin first album was good though. also as a relative newcomer at the time when electroclash was at its height, I used to dismiss some of the hague stuff as "oh, that's like electroclash".

Devo bad cover artwork design?, nothing like the music what!?!  dont dis Devo, theyre geniuses, alot better image than a thousand other bands, theyve had some fucking great outfits, atleast they have a sense of humour!
Theyre Energy Domes actually serve a function, i think they look great anyway.
from Gerry Casale -
It was designed according to ancient ziggaurat mound proportions used in votive worship. Like the mounds it collects energy and recirculates it. In this case the Dome collects energy that escapes from the crown of the human head and pushes it back into the Medula Oblongata for increased mental energy. It's very important that you buy a cheap plastic hardhat liner, adjust it to your head size and affix it with duct tape or Super Glue to the inside of the Dome. This allows the Dome to "float" just above the cranium and thus do its job. Unfortunately, sans hard hat liner, the recirculation of energy WILL NOT occur.

Another thing look at the Freedom Of Choice art, look at a better picture, there are 2 american flags behind them, its a diss towards america, democracy, lack of individual minded brains. The artwork does very much say alot about the music on the album.

Haha, just saw the tracklist of the "2009 Miss Kittny Dj mix" , and i was very suprised by the starter track.
But i guess the rest is bullshit.

Oh and this video surprises me also a lot too.

Listen carefully to the last track:

: )

my fashion statement is fuck you

im just kidding its university professor

That is so 14 year old rebellious, even cyberpunk godfather Billy Idol is more deeper then that. Probably those people go to Berlin and think its all rad and democratic there and ofcourse soooooooo individual for the minded brain.

I hope people don't think that about the cover of Unreleased America, there is an American flag there just because its cool and great.

I though so

ok one meaning from gerry casale
We loved that song very much when we were creating it. It was about how people were throwing away their freedom of choice into meaningless choices like between Pepsi and Coke, or pink fur shoes or blue suede shoes. Just mindless consumerism, they'd rather not be free, they'd rather be told what to do, because that's what appeared to us was the case, especially in the Reagan years. That was a very Devo position - Freedom Of Choice is what you've got, Freedom From Choice is what you want.

INTERFUNK - which is to prove the point again - electroclash is not strictly a musical genre with certain musical characteristics only per se, more of a media generated trend.

Zoot Woman I like, sounds like modern new wave, electropop something to me. They are musical, nice songs, nice vocals, and I can live with that amount and type of fashion going on in the music video.
