And this is just Croatia, the fucking backwater. I can't even imagine what they have going on in Germany or France.

So pretty please, admit you exaggerated, just this once...?

Maybe if you'd read my post more carefully you'd know that we were talking about Electro House, and not Electronic music is a whole. Hey, no **** Germany probably has more clubs in Berlin than all of California combined, but we're talking about one specific sub-genre, that happens to be more popular here than practically anywhere else. I mean, Justice came to LA 5 times in 6 months. Where outside of Paris would that ever occur (and I don't think it even happened there).

Besides, most Europeans seem to forget that House and Techno were invented here. Croatia probably wouldn't have ANY electronic festival if it weren't for Chicago and Detroit.

I don't doubt that L.A. is down with electro, but to say it's bigger there than in the whole of Europe combined is still an exaggeration, given the amount of gigs such acts have in Europe...:\

Did anyone ever question that? Europe still has the biggest electro acts right now. So you know, stick that in your pipe and smoke it...

Crystal Castles is pretty good I dig the Atari-esque sounds they crank out
though the vocals bother me sometimes its a bit too squeely. She sounds
like the Blonde Redhead vocalist on some PCP.

I still think that if you walk down the street in LA you're far more likely to find a Justice, MSTRKRFT, or whoever fan than walking down the street in Croatia.

No shit. Congratulations on comparing one of the most famous cities in the world and the cultural mecca of the American west with an ex-commie Balkan country...

Says the guy that bragged about the fact that his teensy little 200,000 person town has more clubs that rock venues and it's very own electronic music festival!

Besides, you knew what I was trying to say.

That was more bitching than bragging actually.
