Alternative Disco

Post by Shlomart Ben Yisrael »

The three things you need to know about the "Alternative Disco" scene:

1. It's primarily out of Britain (and to a lesser extent, Europe)
2. You've probably never heard it before since you're so enamoured with "campfire rock" ('sup, Bace)
3. See #2

Shitdisco


New Young Pony Club


The Long Blondes



...and HOLY SHIT...could it be?

...something good from the U&L?


:dins:


Sometimes, there are exceptions to the rule...
Portland's very own...


Glass Candy


rock rock to the planet rock ... don't stop

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

nope. wife is big time down with that discoey walking bass. I've heard a lot of this stuff, and even go bloghunting to find more for her. she's down with shitdisco. i found glass candy for her, and then kindly watched the pretty girl in the videos for her. all that stuff that has a heavy bass line she likes; !!!, datarock, calvin harris, presets, blood orange. anything that sounds like "miss you" by the stones.

lots of danceable stuff; lcd soundsystem, uffie, justive, daft punk, mstrkrft, ratatat, rjd2, rinocerose...

twee sing-songy bullshit where the leader of the band slides his girlfriend into the line-up as "the bass player"...
...will tour and play instruments debuted at the 1904 St Louis World's Expo...claim they don't know who Morrisey is but will cry if they see a butterfly emerge from a cocoon, only to be eaten by a cardinal...dress completely "steampunk", but when asked about it reply "Steam-huh?"...pay some neighbourhood kids to scuff up an old cardboard refrigerator box and then stash it in the garage so they can respond to their hipster friend's queries by saying, "Oh, that old thing?...Uhhh...yeahhh...Uhhhhh...."....white, middle class, bourgeois, Call Of Duty playing, context free, New Christy Minstrels-satirizing-for-the-"git 'er done"-generation kind of scene.

Like Arcade Fire.
