Giorgio Moroder is hardly someone who makes me think of your classic examples of 'real' musicians, but still. Saying that Disco music is redundant is a bit much. After all, I can't claim to have experienced the music of purist rock fans who had Sonic Youth, Donna Summer, Belle And Sebastian and Espers all on the same ipod, whereas that's become regular occurance with my gay friends who I regularly go to clubs with and dance to House etc. Generally speaking most people are retards when it comes to music, but that incidence of retardness is no more present amongst people who listen to music that is not made purely by guitars, but also by other, erm, artificial instruments.

I am completely mis-understood.

the TERM
GAY DISCO
is what I was referring to as "redundant"!! not the music!!!!

Ops! Sorry, I hadn't seen your other post, Rob. I get what you're saying, but do you realize that it seems like you are speculating that gay disco is a redundant term because it is made by real musicians, and not gays? I know that's not what you mean, but it made me smile a bit. You're still a top dude.

let's dance

It's a good point (yawn, make some shit ones please) but one has to resist the prevailing wind, doesn't one? Or, better, provide some sort of contrast in order to avoid the stultifying hegemony of indie kids.
