Gomenne...

It's been too long since I last complained about the current state of music. I got super busy and now have like a bajillion things on the go including 3 jobs.

So where do I start?

Here's a question: Who the fuck are The New Cities? The newest Sony music profit tool is my best answer. I'm missing a lot of crap living in the land of robots but I'm also missing a lot of great music as well. This makes me sad. But thanks to music lover friends on Facebook some great things are brought to my attention, like...

The NEW ALEXISONFIRE!!!!


And speaking of new music from great Canadian bands, .moneen. also have a new EP which is incredible! It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I heart Canadian music. Metric also have a new album. I used to really, really like them, I still hold a soft spot for them but they don't wow me like they used to.



I've been on a mission to teach myself about techno/trance/house and everything else that can fall into this general area of music. I pride myself on knowing at least a little bit about all genres of music but somehow this one I ignored. I'm starting to understand, slowly. During my university days there were a few DJ/tracks I liked (which I generalized as "techno") but I know now that most of the stuff I liked is considered trance. DJ Alligator and Da Rude are a few of my favorites. All this stuff I've been listening to and studying lately is giving me a huge urge to go clubbin' or to a rave. Its been a long ass time since I've danced all night long, better stock up on energy drinks!

Right now I'm listening to this...


Oh the memories... Sweetwaters I do not miss you at all.

Other than teaching myself about techno, trance and the like I've started going back in time in terms of my musical tastes and adding lots of 90's stuff to my music library. I've been adding so much, I'm going to have to do a clean up soon and get rid of stuff I'm not listening to anymore :( Unfortunately my hard drive isn't very big.

That's about it for me...
