I'll Be Bach In A Minuet, Bruh::

I admire how people bring back the really 'ol skool jams of classical. The sounds used may not be tranquil and soothing but we trendsetters know how to contemporize the efforts to please our fast-cut-MTV-Generation ears. Of course, if Beethoven heard any of our throwbacks, he'd have a heart attack...

Why Is It On Monday::

Today is Independence Day Eve Eve and we should be remembering our founding fathers for the great effort they put forth into making this country a free state. Free from tyranny. Free from taxing our tea. Free from England. Eh, I take that back. We still have a corrupt government. California has the highest sales tax of any state. And even though we departed from England in 1776, we came crawling back to help the enemy fight in two World Wars and all we got was this stupid shirt that says, "Thanks for the help, have some fish 'n' chips."

But, it could've been worse. Aliens might have attacked us on Cinco de Mayo. Cringe...

So, what is Anti-Art::

So Dada Life was at EDC-LV last weekend. I told myself, since I'm listening to all this other music, I might as well give this Swedish duo a chance to wow me. Wow — spelled the same backwards as is forwards — I will reminisce about last weekend and enjoy what's to come. Here's another tally on my fave flaves list.

I'm On The Way::

So on the freeway, I witnessed a feat of playing drums with drumsticks on the steering wheel while going around 65-75mpb. You think somewhere out there some DJ has his dash set up so he could mix something together while in traffic? He has all his windows down, speakers up, and...

Netherlands Can Wait::

Today we're uninstalling the old doorbell system at my house, after the previous machine unexpectedly had an incident with a well-thrown spiraled football. The caveat though is that I've yet to find a doorbell that is pleasant sounding yet unique and coveted by guests and prospectors who push their greasy thumbs up against that tempting white plastic button. Then, while licking a 9-volt, I came to my senses. I've left a message on my good friend R3hab's voicemail, asking him to create me something quick and mega. When he's done with EDC-LV this weekend, I'm sure he'll come visit and conjure a good house sound for us.

Dancing Is Mandatory::

On the kineticFIELD stage is a frighteningly amazing act in Sander Van Doorn to help scare your senses awake because you should realize you're in the heat of Sin City. Bright skies. Humidity. Burning concrete. 360ยบ of un-Sure-nose-flairing-odored body heat. Luckily everything starts at sundown, so scratch off: Bright Skies. See you there?

George, What's An MP3::

I borrowed my friend's iPod today and was listening to the album Wolfgang Gartner Presents: Electric Daisy Carnival Vol.2 and was really impressed at the compilation selection, especially, the combo Gartner and will.i.am Forever track. I told my friend I was enjoying this track and she delighted to show me the new Tom Staar remix of the song. I find it amazing how remixes come out so fast. Wouldn't it be stupendously amazing if a remix came out first then someone decided to do it's original. Hmm...I wonder how that would work?...Great Scott, Marty!

Give A Hoot::

Owl Vision gives us a new remix called Nebulas, by Vengeance. So I'm wondering, what is the process of how these artists create such intricate designs of electronica. How do they begin? Do they go with the flow or have a blueprint made up in their mind? Perhaps it's better just to enjoy the end product.

Paper Beats Rock::




You ever get that feel-good tingling sensation? Like when you open up a gift and it's something you've been wanting or when that one girl you had a crush on came out of nowhere and accidentally knocked over your textbooks and didn't bother to look back and apologize but you thought it was a magic moment? I felt that tingle hearing this new track by Paper Diamond. More tingles please.

PS: Kudos to Paper Diamond for being a part of the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Soundtrack.
