Musical things you were slow to realise

That Put Your Hands Up For Detroit song is a Matthew Dear sample

Thinly veiled post to prove how obscure your music taste is? :wink:

I know youā€™re trying to irk me (and itā€™s working) but u wot meight? Put Your Hands Up For Detroit was a massive hit and Matthew Dear is hardly an underground techno artist with 279 monthly listeners on Spotify

I mean itā€™s fine isnā€™t it? Sounds like youā€™re saying this is techno and I donā€™t even know how to tell genres like house and techno apart

Not gonna lie, at 18 votes Iā€™m impressed Iā€™m not alone.

20% at the moment, Iā€™d say thatā€™s significant. I now accept you werenā€™t trolling me, irkage dropping rapidly

wouldā€™ve said Iā€™d heard of Matthew Dear, but Iā€™m surprised to hear the name linked to techno, so Iā€™m guessing that I havenā€™t really heard of Matthew Dear (or Iā€™ve heard of another one).

Sorry for the confusion about Matthew Dear. I definitely wouldnā€™t say he is a techno artist, I was giving an example of what he isnā€™t rather than what he is if you see what I mean.

Aaah, I get you. Iā€™ve heard of him then (as distinct from heard him).

ā€œMatthew dear, wonā€™t you come in and have a cup of tea my love?ā€

Am I meant to find a double meaning in the name ā€˜Bat for Lashesā€™? I mean is it meant to only make you think of a bat for striking someone/something or are you also meant to think of someone batting their eyelashes?

The first has never occurred to me. Thought it was between the second and the nocturnal animal.
