Mi smo Smetnjak in odločamo, kaj je 'čis' hudo', 'boln'ca' in 'kul'. Narekovaji so tam, ker sami teh besed ne bi uporabili. Nismo se gnali za takimi pristojnostmi, vaša hierarhija nas ne zanima. Izbrali ste nas sami. Izbrali ste naš okus. Častite ga, mi ga presegamo. Nimamo obrazov, a nas vaše punce, sestre in sosede prepoznajo. Vaši prijatelji nas želijo trepljati po ramah. Ne razglašamo, da nam ni mar za vaše občudovanje. Mlade porednice, ki ne potrebujejo prepričevanja, nas ne dolgočasijo. Dolgočasi nas hedonizem. In zdolgočasenost. Cinizem nas ne zanima. Včasih se sprehajamo v vetru. Preletavajoča vrečka nam je še vedno lahko izredna. Če se potrudimo, nam je zanimiv tudi Omar Naber. Ali Boys Noize. Črno za našimi nohti je menda šarmantno. Naša očarljivost ni namen, je pritiklina. Vedno ne gledamo, a pogosto vidimo. Skozi. Začutimo razliko med nič ne reči in modro molčati. Trudimo se, da bi vas imeli radi. Imamo vas radi. Vidite, kako preprosto nas je sovražiti. mi.smo@smetnjak.si
Well, we saw that coming. Ko je Janša obelodanil, da je macintosh uporabljal že leta 1984 (je bil to ta orwellovski dogodek?), da je bila njegova tedanja žena drugi mac uporabnik v Sloveniji in da je bil načrt za obrambo Slovenije sestavljen na prvem prenosnem macintoshu, ter ko je imel povrh vsega še svoj Patria zagovor zapisan na iPadu, je bil skrajni čas, da hipsterski blok vrne udarec.
“Janša, ta square, ne more biti Mac, on je vendar PC. Mi, hipsterji, smo Mac!”
Kdo je torej the real MacCoy? Ko je “indie korporativnost” označevalec za levičarstvo oziroma ko je politična opredelitev tehnikalija, je že popolnoma vseeno.
P. S. Če tripate na Žižka, vam priporočamo, da volite Jankovića. Oba imata istega PR agenta, Stojana Pelka, ki je tudi kandidat Pozitivne Slovenije. Edini problem je, da si potem več ne boste mogli laskati z levičarjem. Ali pa tudi. Berite Bankirja anarhista Fernanda Pessoe v redakciji Miklavža Komelja, ki je Janši speljal Roso Luxemburg.

David Morris se spočne v Cornwallu, deželi gnusnega peciva in Aphex Twina, ki takrat živi le nekaj hiš stran. Kot mulo najprej nažiga rock in heavy metal, dokler na B-strani prijateljeve Slayer kasete ne odkrije The Prodigy Experience. Ko spozna, da je B-stran postala A-stran, se sooči s prvo krizo identitete. Nato nastopi Amiga, prvi poskusi z jump up d’n’b in house biti ter psevdonim Boy 8-Bit. Sledi študij in kratek glasbeni time-out. Ko se vrne, opusti Amigo in prešalta na elektro, a ohrani ime. Ko se sreča z DJ Touchéjem, ki kasneje postane Fake Blood, vstopi v svet velikih fantov. Touché najprej njegov komad vključi v svoj Essential Mix, nato sledita singla na njegovi založbi Body Clap, nato remiksi – Armand Van Helden, Mika in The Black Ghosts, Touchéjev side-project. 2008 se začne tržna ekspanzija v US+A: Drop The Lime Morrisu na Trouble & Bass izda Fog Bank, Diplo pa The Suspense Is Killing Me na svoji Mad Decent. Svoj organski elektro zvok dotera z Baltic Pine EP-jem in singlom The Keep. Potem remiksi za candy-ass indije La Roux in Florence And The Machine ter alter dancefloor silake Fake Blood, Jack Beats, Crookers in pogojno Chromeo, takoj za tem pa doza iberkredibilnosti: EP na založbi, ki je tako besna, da zdrži celo dejstvo, da je njen lastnik frizer – Tigina Turbo Recordings. Ko zatem skvačka še BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, je Morris mofo s certifikatom. Smetnjak pa v njegovi nameri potrdi šele komentar Rajanipati27 na Youtube: »HE DJ JESUS, HE PLAY LIKE GOD.«
