As my blog for Music 295a, I want to start this off just talking about some electronic music that I like, and my music interests in general. The name (Run CNC -- CNC being my initials) is a little throw to Run DMC, the sick 80's hip-hop group. Raising Hell, which they released in 1986, is a great album. Although their music is in no way purely electronic, they were a precursor to current rap which is pretty synthesized, etc.
Currently, I'd say my favorite music classified as electronic is Ratatat. It's hard to find a live video of them with any good quality but here is a live performance from Coachella 2007 of one my favorite songs, Seventeen Years:
I'm really into music videos -- especially those by Michel Gondry (he's done some great things for Daft Punk) or for Sigur Ros (which I plan to post later) -- and I recently found a stunningly beautiful one by LCD Soundsystem for the song Someone Great:
