Top 5 Politicians As 'Lectro Personalities



Daft Punk Howard/Costello


Whilst perhaps not donning physical metallic masks to pique the interest of their audience, the dynamic duo of Howard and Costello played solidly from behind maks of economic growth and supreme conservatism. These electronic electives had a long spanning career, churning out hits as varied as 'One More Time' (an anthem about continual re-election), 'Around The World Wars' and 'High Life', an hommage to government surplus and better days.
Their Grand Finale, 2007's 'Alive' tour, was met with critical acclaim and anger from epileptics worldwide. Over exposure terminated the techno twosome's career however, finding themselves sinking into the blogosphere as a beautiful memory, only to
be usurped by less charismatic immitators, notably:




Baby Gee Kevin Rudd

Generating as much excitment as a weak bladder, this local resident and stalwart of the scene can be found watering down parties everywhere. No longer enjoying the drawcard status of his early rise to prominence, his constant mind-numbing bassline is becoming a remedy for insomniacs everywhere. Synonomous with a downturn in fortunes whether it in Canberra or Fortitude Valley, one can only hope a new experimental streak may lift him out of his self-induced coma.
Recently touring the globe with stops in America and Englan
d, perhaps inspiration from his international contemporaries will reinvigorate his setlist once more...




Nikki Sarkozy Busy P


Heralding the start of a new era in post trash France, this new wave French gent and his diverse crew of idea makers helped drag the ailing republique into the 21st Century. His strong opinions on law and order have brought some degree of certainity to the country and the global electro economy - some would even go as far as saying that Pedro Sarko's socialist tone is in danger of ruining the free market.
There is still some shelf life remaining however. This savvy tactician has recently made noises in the American scene, in particular negotiating a collaboration involving one of his label's signings and a major US artist;







Barack Obama Kanye West

Genre defying, history denying and public buying - this one has it all. Perhaps his greatest achievment to date is unifying the bickering banana republics of hip hop and electro into the alliance that we now see dominating the charts and blasting from an ipod near you.
Rising to prominence by making his own waves, and perhaps making the most
of a depressed economy and lack of viable competition, America's premier negro can certainly talk the talk, however it is nowdays that his walk seems to becoming more of a prance. The public's trust remains strong, however it is the decisions made in the coming months that could make or break his reputation.
Hit albums include 'The Kenyan Dropout', 'Late Registration' and 'Stimulation', however it is his latest offering '808 Bonuses & A Bailout' that is courting the most controversy.
Over exposure is again becoming an issue as he searches for ways to stimulate his fan base, and one fears that if he doesnt tone it down, the nation could end up with even more in common with its worst enemies...




The Bloody Beetroots Kim Jong-Ill

As the worlds number one purveyor of anarchic, dance floor and democracy demolishing electro bangers, this collaboration's arsenal of nuclear warheads and warped synthesisers is a disaster waiting to happen. Threatening global stability by virtue of their destructive remixing, they are beginning to draw the ire of other global powers. Labelled by world leaders as part of the 'axis of evil', ear doctors and military strategists alike are relishing their downfall.
Whilst both being incredibly secretive and reluctant to reveal themselves to their adoring public, one can't help but feel that there is a severe lack of depth behind those expressions. The attempt to rectify this was made with claims of 'Miscommunication', however it seems as though it is only a matter a of time before they are swept aside as part of a new world order.
