In the increasingly commercialised landscape of Electronic Dance Music Santigold has a certain bone to pick with an act that she views as being a marketing machine. In a recent interview with Pitchfork, this is what she had to say about dance music and LMFAO:

“I’m disappointed with the state of music right now, but it’s not really about anybody specific. I think there’s a lack of true art, and the fanfare is valued over actual substance. It’s like you don’t have to make good music to be fucking huge. Now, I’ll say that, and all the little kids will be like, “Fuck you. I hope you die.” [laughs] Don’t let them think you dissed Lady Gaga!

I watched a music awards show last year and started crying afterwards. I just felt really sad that people go along with stupid wack shit. I’m sorry, but LMFAO performed at the Super Bowl? Aren’t they a joke band? That type of shit makes me cry. I’m like, “Really?”

I guess when an uncle and nephew go on stage in “tighy whiteys” and wiggle their penises together, it gives good reason to question their credibility!
