i'll never return to this sad place again.

I have found one of the most unique and coolest artist sites these eyes have seen and fingers have scrolled. Domotic is confounding minds with his confection of computer-generated pop. He's Stephen Laporte. He's from Paris and maybe his sound isn't unparalleled in France, but it certainly stands alone (or in a small, tightly-knit group) in these here United States of Oil Consumption.
Now, although it wouldn't be too difficult for you to find Domotic's MySpace, I'm not even going to bother linking you there. Just spend the next hour and a half at AskForDomotic.net. Sure, I've already extracted two of the best surprises in the hodge-podge of multimedia, but there's so much more for you to discover on your own. It'll be enough to hook you; beat, scratch, and sample. Please don't let the webmaster's yawning and throat-clearing get to you, or you'll miss the grin-causing videos. Hell, if he's bugging you, just ask him for advice. He'll take the stress out of digging (like you'll want that). Now, once you've seen or heard most of the audio tapes, mini videos, and photography, find the tape with a large "74" in the upper right-hand corner. Find this tape last, play the twenty-one minute melange of glorious music and samples called "Stupid Vynil Collection." Play it, open up a new tab (you ARE using Firefox by now, aren't you?) and go about your inter-business.
Ladies and gentlemen... Domotic.



Domotic's "I Hate You Forever"
& "Captain Forest's Word of Advice"
from Ask For Tiger

Domotic's "These Days" (Nico)
& "Christmas For Berry" (Wham!)



What a day for France and me. I bought Jean-Pierre Juenet's (Amelie) Delicatessen on DVD. A post-apocalyptic surrealist black comedy about cannibalism with Juenet's touch? Magnificent.
