"House was the 1950s all over again"
Feb. 18th, 2009 08:07 amMy friend Michael Freedberg has resumed posting on livejournal under the moniker
house_junkie; over the years he's written the freshest, most original ideas ever on the subject of dance music. Here is a startling quote: "House was the 1950s all over again -- though with later rhythm music embedded, and all of it futurized, computered, i-podded, mp3'd. Whatever -- house made me relive, re-taste, re-embed myself in the 1950s."
