Hey, check out the first BYT podcast, we talk about farting and play good music and stuff: http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/misc-awesome/byt-podcast-1-homoerotic-dance-off-paunchfest/
The genre name of Intelligent Dance Music seemed a lot less silly back in the mid 90s when I stumbled upon Mouse on Mars, a German duo who made electronic music to listen to on headphones while sitting down. At the time my only real exposure to current electronic music was some awful techno, and Mouse on Mars' organic/playful/fluid tunes were refreshing and seemed as "sophisticated" as the rock and roll I was normally listening to. With the ubiquitousness of electronica these days we can sometimes forget how truly otherworldly it first sounded to our grunge addled brains. What's surprising still is how well Mouse on Mars holds up after enormous advances in technology and accessibility to that technology. I'd argue that nobody has really done it better since. Here's Kompod off 1995s Iaora Tahiti. Cause it had the word pod in it. Like podcast. Oh, and it's also good. As is the whole album. And just about all their albums.
