On any given weekend, my boyfriend, Daniel, can be found
DJing in the city. His passion for music rivals my own, and although we have vastly different tastes, we occasionally see eye to eye on a particular artist/song. Shiny Toy Guns "Le Disko" is just such a song. About 5 months ago he made me a mix cd of some of his favorite electronic-esque songs and this track immediately caught my attention. It's got a great beat, a great hook and a very dirty guitar. I love a good dirty guitar! Well
technically I love a dirty anything. But I digress. This is actually the 3rd incarnation of "
We are Pilots." It was previously released in January 2005 and again in November 2005 on independent labels, making the Oct 2006 Universal Records release unofficially dubbed V3. Now, Daniel is somewhat of a purist. He prefers the gritty sound of the independent version versus the crisper if not
slightly over-produced major label release. I however don't care what version is playing, I'll dance to either. I'd wager you will too.

Enjoy

Hmmm....... You be the judge!!
