This isn't what Plato had in mind.

While making a mix for my girlfriend's mom, I was organizing my iTunes and realized something: of my "25 most played songs", the top 7 are ALL Justice. That really says something about the amount of techno I listen to. Since Justice is from France and techno isn't exactly a style of music most people read about or discuss, I figured I would do you all a favour and educate you on the world of Justice.

Justice is a duo from France, and are known for their religious symbolism, sampling hard rock (Metallica, for example) into their music, being extremely badass on a whole new level, and having the CRAZIEST concerts I have ever seen. Picture an underground rave in the Tokyo red-light district, multiply that by 10 and you're just scratching the surface of how insane these concerts really are. Here's a trailer for their DVD "A Cross the Universe" (not to be mistaken for 'across', keep the religious symbolism in mind). There's a few clips of what their concerts are like to give you an idea.



Please take note of the following:
- Tits (touching of, signing of, general revealing of)
- Men who resemble werewolves going apeshit at the concert
- Anthony Kiedis
- Sexy women having pillow fights in hotel suites
- Wicked Dance moves
- Kanye
- Multimillion dollar mansions & cars
- Fucked up religious rituals prior to concerts
- Strobe lights gallor
- Getting arrested after a concert for general badassery
- Destroying equipment at the end of a concert Nirvana style
- And so many girls that it's worth mentioning again

These guys clearly party like no other and make the traditional rock & roll lifestyle seem comparable to puppies and kittens playing patty-cake with helmets on. And the worst part about all this is that almost NO ONE HERE KNOWS WHO THEY ARE. How can an act like this go so unnoticed? These guys are treated like Gods in Europe, and judging by the amount of religious symbolism, they know it. Their first song on their CD is called Genesis, they have a song called Waters of Nazareth, one called Let There Be Light, their DVD/CD is named A Cross The Universe, and they perform on a huge glowing cross. THATS SO AWESOME.

I'll leave you with one of their most popular songs. Creative Video, too. Meery Christmas (eve)!
