Permission to Bite, Captain?
Since I was one of the only people to actually write something about her, it’s no surprise that Terry Lynn had some words for me on her new blog. She doesn’t like me too much because I clowned on her for biting Daft Punk.
In her post, she backs up her manager’s claim that DP gave Lynn permission to bite "Technologic." And although there was no reference to DP on her website, like he claimed, DP’s manager did show some love for her in a blog post that I overlooked. Actually, I saw the post back then, but didn’t realize that the author was Daft Punk’s manager. As far as all that goes: my fault.
And although she resorts to name calling, and ragging me as an "eeediot," I still say that I like the cut, and would even prefer to listen to it over the DP original. But it still needs a more prominent reference to Daft Punk. Just because someone gives you permission to bite doesn’t make it all better. If somebody in a graffiti crew flips a style like someone else that’s down, they still lose a measure of respect. The fact that Lynn hasn’t put out much of anything else doesn’t help her either.
But in the sake of good faith communication, I’ve included the original review I wrote with a couple small edits. Read it after the jump.
