Beardyman is great. :)

I think musical (genius) artists can make melodies with everything. Use anything as a musical instrument when given the chance. It sure helps if there is a device such as a sampler to keep all "instruments" going. Otherwise other people have to make the music for the artist (The band).


I do not really like deadmau5, perhaps on a blue monday.

I saw Deadmouse on the joe rogan podcast a couple months ago. I thought he was an uptight dick but I downloaded one of his albums... waste of internet. Sounds like a 15 yo atari game or something.

Then he made the news a couple times since but it was just for insulting real celebrities like madona. He insults them on twitter and gets into the news. Punk.

I don't really get the big hype with deadmouse either. It's just some dude wearing a modified mickey mouse helmet who makes his computer make funny noises. Yeah, I just described dubstep. :p

Props to the maus for keeping it real. There is nothing wrong with liking EDM, just don't go around acting like they are the 21st century Beethovens...heh

After listening to that podcast I lost what little respect I had for the weasel. His "music" sucks and he is a prick. I could tell that Joe Rogan was not too thrilled with his visit. Joe does not like burning bridges so he had to kind of defend what happened during that podcast.

Anyone that backs up Deadmau"five" needs to get their head checked.

He has a few very good songs, but I can't help but think that if he didn't have that mask he'd be far less relevant.

But he did mix a set right? So he did took a program/tables or whatever and took a couple hours of his time and mix it all into a 500mb files which to play at a life event? Or is a program like Virtual DJ being a button pusher?

From what I know of Ableton, he still has to figure out the setlist and load all that shit up on his computers/flash drives...

then it's drag, drag, press press, fist pump fist pump.

Speaking in the latest issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, Zimmerman said "David Guetta has two iPods and a mixer and he just plays tracks - like, 'Here's one with Akon, check it out!''

The easily riled DJ then went on to question friend and former Mau5trap label-mate, Skrillex saying "Even Skrillex isn't doing anything too technical. He has a laptop and a MIDI recorder, and he's just playing his s**t."

Zimmerman protected himself against criticism saying, "People are, thank God, smartening up about who does what – but there’s still button-pushers getting paid half a million. And not to say I’m not a button-pusher. I’m just pushing a lot more buttons."

This is coming from a guy who played one of the worst sets ever at EDC 2010 for such a huge name and who was closing the night.

Eh, guess I have to check out the Rogan podcast but to me he is just speaking bluntly and not being a fuckin bullshitter, which is refreshing. I don't see how that is ego, the opposite in my opinion, but like I said I guess I'll have to listen to that podcast.

Though I have never met Joel personally, I think he comes off as a dick in a lot of his videos and has a slight ego problem. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. That said, I still find most of his music thoroughly enjoyable and own almost all of his records. He knows a *ton* about digital music and production; probably more than any other electronic artist of today.

Well on Joe Rogan's next podcast he described Deadmouse as "Cunty, he just wanted to talk about his own shit", LOL! That's a burned bridge right there.


I didn't like the way Deadmouze talked about women and his fans etc. If I remember right he did that near the start of the show and I thought he was sleazy for the rest and the jujistu champion guy sitting next to him would just stare at deadmouse, I don't think he liked getting ignored.

When I first saw that mask I thought it was interesting and clever but I was thinking it was only for one video or one song but it Turns out the guy wears it as a career.. I don't know how he can do that, it gets old after 5 minutes. It really is lame, probably lots of druggies at his shows.

I'm sure he doesn't use ableton for shows. But probably something like virtual DJ, forgot what its called.
