If you made machine music in the 90’s, you were a member of Pigface. Apparently.

20 Songs From The 2000s
There is no order to this list, but hopefully, I’ll find 20 songs from this decade that I loved.
#20: “Deceptacon” (DFA Remix) by Le Tigre
There was a time when I used to dance at bars and clubs and only one song really got me on the dance floor, “Deceptacon” by Le Tigre. Since that song came out in 1999, I have to go with the excellent DFA remix. The DFA remix was a song that took me through the musical looking glass. I discovered Le Tigre because of this remix and LCD Soundsystem and the list goes on and on. I started to pay attention to production a bit more and became a better music fan.
there was awhile there in LA when i would go to any party or event and someone i was with would know the DJ and i would talk endlessly about how awesome the DFA remix of this song was and how i would only dance to THAT SONG for the sole purpose of annoying people to the point where they would go ask their DJ friend to play it just to shut me the fuck up. it was great when the song was relevant. but eventually people got really tired of it.
now i wonder if maybe during one of those evenings, skeetonmischa wasnt also stumbling and swirling around the dance floor with me…two ships passing in the night to the awesome noise of kathleen hannah’s voice.
I was DJ’ing with a friend at a bar once and I had this song on my playlist. These other guys came over and we started talking about music and dj’ing and the like. It was then that I learned about songs that were in the Do Not Play list or DJ Jail. They were songs that were admittedly great songs but played too often by too many people. they included, at the time, Tribulations by LCD Soundsystem, a laundry list of then-hot mashups, and this song. I still can’t decide if I agree with the sentiment that there can be songs that are too popular to be played and enjoyed or if I think it is a sad result of a culture endlessly looking around the bend for a better view of the sunset, too focused on what’s next to enjoy what is good right now.
