I’d just like to take a moment to thank a couple of people.

Firstly, the totally cool kid who put me onto the music of Le Tigre. It’s all hyperactive and clean and interesting, like a child-genius who’s just invented a revolutionary new kind of frozen dessert. This is what the Yeah Yeah Yeahs might sound like if they chilled out for an evening with the kids from Ladytron (and borrowed a synth or two).

Secondly, whoever’s Zune was being filmed in the UI demo I saw the other day. See, you had Cansei de Ser Sexy on your playlist, and reminded me of the glowing review I read in the Metro months ago but promptly forgot. I’d say something pithy like “Brazilian techno slut-pop has never sounded so compelling”, but I’m pretty sure this is the only instance of techno slut-pop to date, Brazilian or otherwise. It’s totally compelling though, seriously.
