As the dance moment passes we are back firmly in the clutches of the rock paradigm, to the point where new dance artists such as LCD Soundsystem and Mylo insist on using "real" instruments and touring with live bands. A guy I know thinks that popular music, audience, bands and critics alike, will never shake the "tedious dialectic" of authenticity, the real and fake, artist and sell-out, because pop is by definition caught between commercialism and art.
