[The Damned]

I just realized that The Crystal Method was still around. I haven't heard much from them since Tweekend.

I just figured that they were killed in a death-match against Daft Punk sometime in the early 2000s. It took place in some obscure part of Europe, and was staged for super-rich techno fans that also enjoyed blood sports.

I like to imagine that it was a close battle, with very elaborate stages on opposite sides of a field, pounding at each other with giant speakers and light shows. Eventually, Daft Punk narrowly won by dropping a single bass so powerful, it broke TCM's lighting.

How this could have possibly happened, I don't know, but it was a fun scene to imagine.

But yeah, seeing them around again is cool. That one track there seems a touch more towards dubstep, but it's not too heavy into it. Which is nice, because a dash of it is better than a heaping spoonful.
