Whys is trying to buy a car so stressful. Why can't it just be ridiculously easy. that way I can spend more money than I should on a great soundsystem and just sit in it and smile whenever I feel this way. blechk.

deadmau5 and wolfgang the pulitzer prize winning author:
Well I haven't (i use haven't 3 times in the next sentence so excuse me grammar kings) posted much of anything in quite some time. Not that I haven't been living life but I just haven't posted much on here. quite the contrary actually. Ive been super busy and tons of really cool stuff. In the last few weeks I have seen some great shows, almost seen even better ones and have bought tickets for even more. Sounds vague huh. I will take you on a little trip and let you know what Im thinking.
two weeks ago i had tickets to a-trak in nyc for that cmj fest. i missed my train and ended up just not going into the city. that was the night kanye came out with him and played a half hour set to the 5o0 people in the audience. se le vie.
First off I gotta tell you about Pretty Lights. This is a great dj who makes some amazing music to chill to. I had heard of him before and he played at camp bisco before lcd soundsystem but we didnt get there in time and i wasnt too dissapointed. A few weekends ago I was at a friends house haning out and the only thing she had on her computer was this dude pretty lights. I mean like literally nothing on her computer but like a hundred pretty light songs. For the next 7 hours that was all I listened to and it blew my mind. the guy does a great job mixing up beats and giving you a wide range of tempo and rhythm while still holding onto control and taking you wherever the wobble brings you. A cool thing that he does is also that he gives out all his music for free. Support him live or buy a t-shirt. This is an awesome thing that i believe in and something that I think keeps me buying concert tickets. Sure I may never buy an actual cd anymore but I do more than my fair share when I pay for concert tickets and schwag. check out pretty lights and download some stuff as he just came out with a new album last week (good timing for me to hear about him!) and his new years mix is a grade live collection.
Radio 1 Essential Mix.
Im not sure how many people ahve hard of radio1 essential mixes but i will try and give oyu a short synopsis. basically in the u.k. its a 2 hour commercial free block that is played from 3.00-5.00 am on Saturday morning (friday night) The worlds top djs play on it and can do whatever they want to the airways for their two hours. its been going on since 1993 and anybody great you can think of in the dj world has done it. fatboy slim, daft punk, tiesto, deadmau5, paulvan dyke, anybody you can think of. Well i have listened to a ton of them and they are great mixes (i may have wrote about a Loo & Placido essential mix that i listened to every night on my way home from work my seniore year of college (the time this blog was created) anyway i tell you all this because friday nights from 10-12pm you can listen live here and basically your hearing a dj set for the first time ever and its pretty cool. its something i learned on the most boring friday night of my life, which now that i say that aloud doesnt seem that bad actually. check it out though you wont be dissapointed.
Jack Beats has a great one and I heard Caspa did a great one a while back. Also Simian Mobile Disco did one that comes on my itunes quite often.
what else.what else.
Trance music. learned the differnece between trance and electronicor techno last weekend for my trip to Union College. (thats an insane place for anyone thats ever stopped by or had the opportunity to meet any partyers from their...they know how to get down...)
I used my mass glowstick collection on halloween to be a stick figure. I got lots of comments on it and was pretty impressed with how it came out but I wish I got a picture of it. that would be much cooler than just telling you what a cool stick figure i was. Luckily it was so cool it helped me keep my buddy out of trouble. quick story. he tried to steal 2 slices of pizza from these 2 girls. when he ran away one of the girls took him down. (yes you read that right) he ran away and a cop saw home running away, asked the girls what happened , then drove after my friend. withing 2 minutes there was 4 cars and 9 officers of the law encircling my friend. one of the most ridiculous things i have ever witnessed. when i told the officer what happened he told me he liked my costume then repeated the story to me so that we could both stand away from all the activity and think about why such a fiasco was going on. He told me to remind my friend of this tomorrow and make sure we laugh about it, but that hes still an idiot. 1.3/4 way true. im not sure if this story translates well to type but it was utterly hillarius to watch.
get that new bassnectar ish. wildstyle lp.
