You are calling Daft Punk pop electronica (which I'm not going to argue, since it somewhat is (most French music is)) in a derogatory manner, yet say nothing about a list of songs that include freaking Sandstorm, or any of the other various tripe? What the hell? That whole list is trash, save for Ready Steady Go, and that is only barely passable.



I agree with you 100%. You are completely right(although I don't really like Ready Steady Go all that much, either). But when you add up the few things I know about Sith Solo(he's like 12, as is his 'girlfriend') and what kind of "techno" music they like, Sandstorm and Southern Sun and all those are high up on their list of 'techno' especially since that's about all they're ever exposed to. Basically, it's not too far from typical pop-ish kind of music that MTV and radio stations are filled with...I wouldn't personally compile a CD like that for myself to listen to, but it's perfect for what he wants to do with it. ;)

Ok, I've contributed in plenty of these threads. Do a search, and you'll find my contributions. If you need any more help, PM me.

Listening to DI as we speak.

At the very least it will be 63 minutes that you won't have to suffer through DJ Sammy.

From Buymusic.com riiiiigggghhht ;)
Heh. Well, actually if you wanted to buy it you would most likely have to get it on eBay, because the original printing was a small run on a different record label than their usual. Trust me, I fully support my favorite artists, especially The Chemical Brothers ? I own 20 of their CDs after all, with more on the way.

Besides, I highly doubt he was compiling that list from CDs he owns anyway :)

OMG, someone on here knows me!!! :heart: btw- I'm not 12 I just act that way and she's probably a lot more mature than I am. I know its not what that hardcore fans of the genre would ever listen to but it does suit my needs. :beer: for Maul

add DJ Buzz Fuzz-F*ck Happy to that list...one of the best songs ever!

I almost put that on there but then I thought it may scare her off. Heck, Heaven and Colors will probably scare her off.
:brokenheart:

just make sure your not going to copy copyrighted material or else the copyright police might summon you to court ;)

Of course some ISP's are suing RIAA
