A pretty convincing top 100 list of great electro tracks. Certainly something I plan on carrying with me on future crate-digging expeditions.

Re: Zimpundit - I dont think this kind of analogy is useful - we need to have a broader view of the inequalities in the world we live in. More people have been displaced in my own country Nigeria - 10,000 people have died in two years of religious conflict - no one has made that headlines. The Niger Delta has been under military occupation for nearly 12 years - that makes no headlines. There are similar states around the world - none of these mean we should not stand up and declare our opposition to the Israeli aggression. As for the MSM they wonder the world like wolves chasing after prey - scatter the food everywhere, eat it and move on for the next batch to feed on.
