House Is A Feeling

This “donk” thing has already been mentioned over at Blissblog. The techno connection through the Donk Boys has also been flagged up. I wonder have they heard this yet?

I love that this record is so comfortably anti-establishment, so effortlessly vulgar. It must be gloriously offensive to the kind of self appointed connaisseurs who act as though the music they like is fine wine or well-aged meat. Presumably they’d agree with the numerous people in the Youtube comments calling this a musical Big Mac and attacking “chavs”.

My take is that if you can imagine someone citing a pop record as evidence of the disastrous state of modern culture, society, and young people, then whoever made it deserves a slap on the back. If you’re making a pop record and not utterly alienating the Broken Britain audience then you’re failing.

The only drawback is I can’t imagine actually wanting to listen to this that much, not after the initial 5 times!

I’m also having a vision of the future. It’s a Sunday night in 2018. You should be in bed but you’re flicking through the channels. Suddenly a programme called “I love 2008″ comes on. Oh look it’s “Put A Donk On It”! Someone says “what were we thinking???”. Some comedian you’ve never heard of says “what was a donk anyway??? what was that about??? LOL!”

You change the channel.  Someone says something is not as good as it used to be. You go to bed.
