Catnip and Songs divides America!

Mike's written seriously about the reaction to Catnip on iTunes US, so we'll confine ourselves to reporting some of the more extreme reactions to Catnip being picked as video of the week.

It's quite hard to see how extreme the reactions are ("It's a free video! Enjoy it!") without reading them yourself, so check it out yourself. If you're not in the US, you can access US iTunes by going to the bottom of your iTunes screen and selected US, then search on "Catnip Mike Monday" - it's worth it.

But here's a few...

"If every figureskater knew this music existed, then their programs would be a lot more modern and more awesome choreography could be created for competitions. It has good cues for jumps and spins and if even good to listen to on your iPod. I luv luv luv I am Plankton and Stargirl. I am totally going to use this music for my next program!"

But there's a decent amount of this as well:

"Strange and retarded... what a waste of time."

Or

"Add this to your Mochipet and Squarepusher playlists for variety and interesting times!"

And ...

"Who knew that electronic music had the breadth of ideas - realised ideas - that Mike Monday has?"

Or

"Waste of money, you've already clicked yes."

Summary: the internet really is full of 12-year-old Emos. Give them both barrels, Mike!
