    i know that one of the problems i have w/house as a genre is how it seems to
    have co-opted the whole "dance music" genre. it's like people forgot you
    could dance to other beats! there are house producers that i think are
    really dope (joe claussell, masters at work, ashley beedle & ballistic
    bros.), but i'm tired of the predominance of house (i.e., everything else is
    secondary--downtempo, chill, etc.).
