    Default wtf?

    So I dont know if anyone caught this but at cochella last year, the lead singer of Arcade Fire, Win Butler, was talking shit about DJs. The full story can be found here:

    Well I was just looking at the line up for BUKU fest and guess who is on the list? DJ Windows 98, aka Win Butler.

    How can you talk shit about DJs then become a DJ...?

    I don't really see anything wrong with what he is saying or doing. He is giving props to bands playing instruments which seems to be on the decline. It doesn't mean he doesn't respect DJ'ing he is just paying respect to an art form. I think this is more of a case of Deadmau5 being a rather large outspoken douche as per usual.

    I haven't read the story, and I don't plan to. I also don't know anyone else involved, but....yeah, screw joel. Whenever he's arguing, he's probably wrong.

    I watched a few youtube videos on him. Dudes a tool. I mean, candy on his arms, bandana over his face, etc. Its like the dude looked up "rave fashion" on Google and went with it. Sad...

    I love Arcade Fire - and there's nothing wrong with what he said - he wasn't really having a go at edm.



    I fucking hate that phrase...
