What does "getting rapped" mean?

^I was thinking the same thing.

I think she often sounds like she's getting rapped.

It's a Yugoslavian term. Literally translated, it means peeled-fruit bearhug.

I'm digging this a little. Not really a fan of the vocals, but aside from that this band is pretty good.

crystal castles are pretty much the first band of this style i've heard, but thats purely because i'm just starting to get into this type of music. a year ago i mostly listened to hip-hop, a year before that, punk.

now i'm hearing stuff like crystal castles, boys noize, health and toyz noyz and loving it all.

Crystal Castles killed the 8bit scene.

but luckily, most people who like crystal castles don't bother listening to chiptune artists
(and ethan should kick alice out :x)

Haha, one of the youtube comments for this is, "Wow, this song is like crushing up a Super Nintendo cartridge and snorting it!" That's great. ><

Who's song is it being remixed there? It sounds familiar, but I don't think it's originally theirs right?

Anyway, seems like they might not be too popular on MB, but I think they're pretty great.

Got their CD last year, but I've already listened to it so many times that I feel like it came out ages ago, and I keep wondering and hoping that they'll put out something new already. Like I seriously didn't realize it's only a year old until I just went and checked on amazon...just seems like an old classic in my head. :|
