Is it just me, or are K&D the most tedious downtempo act working today?
Admitedly, I've only heard the Tosca stuff, but god, if you want hipster
dub/downtempo, give me Thievery Corp.(not that they're anything
spectacular, but at least they're bearable) Somehow though, K&D are the
hottest thing since cinnamon toast. What's the deal? Is Tosca the worst
thing either of them has done?

And come to think of it, Kid Loco's sex-hop remixes are far more
listenable than they have any right to be. Or maybe A Little Soul is such
a solid pop song that no crap remix can unsettle its lithe Jarvisosity.
I've heard his album is much worse than his remixes.

But it's all just background music, social grease, chin-stroking stuff
anyway, ain't it? Oh well, the kids must have their fun. Regardless of the
mediocrity of the actual product.
