one of my recent favorite bands. caught them when they opened for caribou and loved it. one of the better live shows i've seen... but then i don't have a prejudice against laptops and i like deafening fuzz.

kdiddy commented on Moby's New York Studio.
it's refreshing to hear someone as high profile as moby admit what a dork he is. loved it.
@2 he admits the majority of those drum machines are just for show. also posing in front of that wall was likely the director's idea.
as for your second point, - i don't think he was ripping on plugins for being too "easy". he was making a comment about the character you get from a weathered 30 year old instrument compared to a piece of digital software.
people have been sampling drum machines long before plugins (or recording software in general) ever existed.
it's a completely different process that yields different results.
not to mention drum machines that old aren't programmable, so you have to sample them in order to really use them at all.

kdiddy commented on Monotonix at Neumos.
all i ever see of this band is them running around in their underwear. do they ever get around to playing songs? what is the crowd hearing when they're goofing off like this? just curious.
