I’m Going to Use a Lot of Exclamation Points!
Posted by Sunday on Apr 21, 2008 at 9:37 pm in Daily SpaceBack in my day, we didn’t have those glossy, colorful beep-boxes you kids call computers! When we wanted dance music, we did it the hard way! We hired a tiny pre-teen Malaysian girl and her trusty Electone to break us off a few beats! And we started off with electronic wind, like you’re supposed to!
As Halcyon said while watching this video: “I guess Yan Tin went to the Tori Amos school of music. Look at her hump that Electone. She’s playing it so hard she’s drooling - and that’s dangerous on an Electone. It’s okay for regular pianos, but not Electones.”
In all seriousness, I got more than a little misty watching this. Can you imagine? Being ten years old or whatever and going on stage and being all, “This is a little ditty I wrote,” and then busting out some fucking house beats hard enough to make unicorns fly out of bear-eagles?! I don’t even know what I’m writing anymore!
Ohh my Electronic Saviors who dwell in The Machine, please save a penthouse suite in Buddhaland for this sweet, soft spoken,housefuckingsynthrocking young child/woman.
In a word …FUCKINTRANCE! … whew
What in the name of Samsung is she gonna be like in, say, ten years from now? Idoru! (yes, I know that’s Japanese … fuckit.)
