Gumming up the works
Bemused by today's predictably indie-riffic Stereogum Gummy Awards (to which I was alerted, as I am so many things these days, by the snarktastic Idolator), I decided to try a little experiment. Perhaps predictably, of the top 10 references to "techno" on Stereogum:
• two concern the New Pornographers' "Sing Me Spanish Techno"
• two are at least tangentially related to Radiohead
• one is shorthand for "technical"
• one describes moby
• and one is a noise complaint.
My favorite, however, is number nine, highlighted below.
