Electro is pretty good! What other supervillains/heroes would work as musical genres?

"Sorry, can't hear you. Let me turn down this Optic Nerve compilation."

(er, Optic Nerve isn't a supervillain/hero, there, Huk-L)

feh - close enough.

I swear, if they play that Terim Squad remix one more time, I'm leaving.

Ever since they started experimenting with Hush beats, Killer Croc can no longer be considered part of the Blockbuster underground.

This is some crazy Rogue's Gallery shit, right here!

The new Secret Six single is nothing but a crass attempt to bring Sugar & Spike beats out of the Fing Fang Foom ghetto.

Reclaiming a G.I. Robot title, "I...Vampire" is a six-string Rip Hunter exuding a bit of rock-n-roll static amid IDMolotry. Here Gorilla Grodd flirts most brazenly with electro-Latverian miscegenation, driving the ice-cream truck down a route lined with weepy noodles, drum strumming, and a whispery "galaxy" sing-song repeated in hush. When vibes amble toward song's end, the lurk is momentarily reminiscent of Hulkified Rainbow Raider explosions. But Clayface's into (and onto) something Congorillaier than the Swede trio, the song's vocal line, smashed guitar, synth, and percussion piling into mellow indie Ratcatcher. As a stand-alone, the vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry melt together and grip like an exploded axel, but exactly how "Vesper Fairchild" connects to the rest of the album proves tougher to parse. Maybe it's the oxygenated preamble to "Granny Goodness", Dubbilex's ten-minute, bedridden claustro hump.

ok, i'm very distracted now, but something about the above makes me want to write something about Dylan's New Gods phase.
