| #8 / Tue, 08 May 12 14:12 Congrats Andrew! I'm so happy to see this up on the site. The design is great and the content is hilarious. Some spot-on satire, with that degree of "almost-real-ness" that makes for good critical humor.

| #10 / Tue, 08 May 12 15:21 Hey Jonny ... Maybe if you take it literally. The point of this was more to look quite seriously at the narrative tropes employed when electronic musicians or DJs talk about themselves. How we create value and construct ideas about electronic music. Think of it more as a conceptual art project that is also funny.

| #27 / Wed, 09 May 12 05:39 good to see a sense of humour around here. sometimes the pretentiousness of reviews (and then the uber-out of control nature of the comments on said reviews) mounts to such a degree that i can't help but feel how petty and self-serious EDM can be.
