Shouldn't "dis" be spelled "diss"? When I read "dis" I heard "diz" in my
ears. (I read all my e-mail out loud)
Does anyone know where the word came from? I suspect that it's an
abreviation for disrespect but maybe there's more to the story than that.
Any budding Harry Allens on the list?

Whoa! I think I need to comment on what seems like a Daft Punk dis
without any proper justifications..
While it's true that Daft Punk have had a lot of attention while
Philippe Zdar/Cassius stuff has remained underground, I don' think
that
Cassius material is in essence any stronger than Daft Punk's. Let's
just
that hope that the Daft Punk guys will come up with the goods again
like
they did with their album two years back (and Stardust in '98).
I know it's easy to dis somebody just because they're overexposed (I
noticed myself doing the same with Cassius when I first saw the
video),
but you gotta face the fact that just about EVERY artist that gets
major
MTV airplay also gets overexposed because showing everything 20
times a
day their mode of operation. My advise is: forget MTV and listen to
music. ;-)
just my 2 cents,
