MP3: Pay TV - Miss Capitalist

IronIc techno satIre? Is that an oxymoron or sImply a redundant set of terms? It seems rather poIntless to lampoon party musIc for beIng vapId, yet Pay TV makes a go at It wIth decent enough results. It's certaInly much more lIkely to hIt Its Intended target than, say, LaIbach. Anyhow, even If the hIgh-mInded concept doesn't appeal, hopefully the Håkan LIdbo produced beats do.
