Found this footage of the Lizard Lounge on YouTube a minute ago (many people have asked why we started this music blog--it’s because it’s a good excuse to surf for goofy videos instead of reading copy on deadline day), and it cracks me up. The whole thing is so dark, all you see are the four people on earth who still think glow sticks are cool, which is pretty much a visual metaphor for the state of a lot of dance music these days. Still, it’s worth a look (or a listen, really), because whoever this DJ is has got some chops, and the Daft Punk mix is very cool. Makes me want to pick up a glow stick or two. -- Jonanna Widner
