I thought it was hilarious, actually. I mean, gabber/breakbeat is already a
dumb joke anyway, so why not make it as dumb as it can possibly be!
Somehow, I can't see it as a big threat to the public conception of "what
techno is."
(As if there were a good solid definition of techno anyway...)
I mean, if Fierce Ruling Diva hadn't done it, Weird Al Yankovic probably
would have got there eventually...
There's a whole FRD album out now. I don't think I'll be buying it, but it
would be interesting to hear what the other tracks are like. I really liked
their version of Get Down Tonight.
