Here's a funny one:

Me: Alright, can you open up the control pannel
Friend: *Rustling for 20-30 seconds*
Friend: Alright I got the tower open, but I don't see anything that looks like a control pannel.
Me: Silence
Friend: Does it have a fan connected to it?

Host do you have sand in your vagina or something?

actually I find it pretty interesting, the scene has been slowly moving towards dj worshiping in the rock star sense and by having dj's degrade themselves it would in turn be a statement as well :)

I'm not a tranny btw... When I said I'd show up I meant I'd attend the party... not play.

What about transvestite DJ's? I think they deserve a night. I'd show up.

I totally agree with grasp, nine year old girls are way cuter.

You must feel degraded.

Quick note, your going to need a midi controller with the virus a, b, or c.

I think the nord lead is in the 2000$ region.

Depends what you get, If I remember right steve's had a used nord lead 2 rack going for about 1500$
A Virus C can go for like 3000$

They aint cheep.

Fucking heat meant me having to stop before cumming!

HA I just finished reading tipsy's comment... unless you have air conditioning he's right.

The party was ridiculously great, the weather was perfect, I find that the 10 minutes of rain on saturday even helped cool us off.

The beach was chill, but slightly packed on saturday, still refreshing.

I'm not sure why they closed the well on saturday, but they still offered free water next to the hype tent, where they did the free yoga thingy. Next time though I'm not camping so far from the stage, the walk to the bathrooms at 2 am were brutal, and the walks to get water were even worse.

Also what I didn't like were the shuttle buses, they weren't that expensive, but on friday there was a LONG line up, me and my friends ended up bringing all our stock by hand... which was brutal.

The music was fucking great though, I really enjoyed wrecked machines live set. The decorations were great too, and mystica's performance was great. I also liked raw sugga at the chill zone. I liked the sound alot actually, I just found that sunday morning the mids were abit unclear. And is it just me or was there alot of c.d. skippage going on on friday?

That's all very true...

"use whatever lets you be the most creative" words of wisdom.

Something I forgot to say, music equipment is an extremely personal subject, what works for one person may not work for another.

Yeah but buying a groovebox when you have a sequencing program + virtual synths is kinda pointless.

The problem with groove-boxes is that they don't play too well with others, combined with mediocre at best sound quality you'll be playing the same stuff over and over agian. If you want a drum machine or something for live sets you'd be much better of with a korg er-1 or soemthing like somebody said. I think the Electribe was going for 399$ at moog audio, not sure if they have any left.

It's basically a shitty sequencer with some samples... The Mc-909 would be good for a beginner making music who doesn't have a clue how to make any electronic music... you've obviously surpassed that level.

Meh I was right about it being an mc-909... I think you would get board of that thing pretty damn quick. You can already do everything that machine can do and more.

That's great, where can you find em? I don't think I've seen one before...

you shouldn't be producing with headphones anyways...

It's starting man... Indie bands, the rave scene... Back a little while ago... if you were making music your dream was getting signed by a major label... because producing everything yourself was ridiculous back then. No joke people used to think that these big time producers at large record labels had like secret technology like vacuum tubes from crashed submarines and shit to be able to produce what they produce. Now it's becoming common knowledge and affordable. That coupled with file sharing is the death of the music industry as we know it.

It's happening... and were gonna be there too watch them fall.

One of the biggest modern punkbands of our times, nofx, even said that dinosaurs will surely die, and we will be there to watch them fall. They were making reference to recording companies.

I like it, I find the song comes together when the stereo bell riff comes in at 3:36. It has this spaced vibe to it that I'm digging, good work.

Did anybody here about the fireworks that fucked up in RDP and went into the croud?

Using a lint free cloth while cleaning is also a good idea.

Yeah the thing is that no other nationality considers 3rd or 4th cousins family.

If Italy plays the way they played against germany they should win it. France's offense was abit week against portugal, Zidane seariously needs another strong player up with him, I really feel that Italy has a much more rounded and overall better team. France is seariously gonna have to pull something out of there asses... or hope that Italy chokes.

I feel bad for Portugal though... they dominated near the end of the game. One thing though... is it just me or was portugal playing complete hollywood... it seems whenever they got in the box all they did was fall then look at the ref saying, "Cmon" or some bullshit.

smoke + gear = alot of unwanted noise

It really is all about what you like and what you expect from your music. Like what about gabba? To me that shit shouldn't even be considered music... I can't listen to it for more then 2 minutes without having to end my life with a screwdriver firmly implanted into my ear. Some people can snort coke though... and love that shit.

It's all personal opinion. Bad things can be said about all electronic music... hear let's take a jab at it:

Jungle: Abunch of shady ass motherfuckers all pretending to be all dark and cool listening to music which seariously hasn't changed since it became called drum and bass. Hey look I can take a 2 step bass line and sample the amen break too! WEEEEEE

Trance: Abunch of teenagers high off there ass on ecstacy listening to songs with the same structure and breakdowns over and over again! HEY let's rip off some classical sample and apply the 4 to the floor beat under it. Then we'll hardly progress it and use the same anthem again later after the breakdown.

Techno: I know how to use rythm machine and groove-boxes! I'm ever so clever! Bump booch click other sound bump! Over and over and over and over and over again.... My teachers all said I had a REALLY long attention span... I don't understand why.

Hardcore: I'M HIGH ON CRACK! and probably underage... Who wants to fuck the bassbins with me?

House: I haven't done anything new and innovating since 1970... I also feel compelled for some reason to start all my songs with a 2 minute intro wich starts with just the bass drum and slowly works all the other parts of my song into it... My new big sound is benny benassi... who ripped off thomas bangalter... who just basically made funky disco.

Breaks: I try to hide from being made fun of because my musical genre is so vast... but the truth is I really like trance... but all my friends would make fun of me if they knew I listened to that.

All I can say is that there was a reason bars / clubs allowed smoking. They could have made there establishment non-smoking if they wanted to... there's a reason it wasn't.

Seems like you and your xa are getting along, nice work!

One thing I'd say it needs is abit less attack on the bass-drum compression

Good Work, keep it up.

10 bucks sais he'll come back the moment you stop looking for him... shit always works out that way.

It's gonna be sick, got my tickets yesterday :)

Quick question, how close is the parking to the campsite?

I was trying to figure out what was so funny about those las vegas pics....

I say we do it and record it, crank yankers style!

your on host.

I had the Italian flag waving out of my car today :) btw st.leo is the place to be when italy wins. I can hear the honking right now... that and little italy.

I just really don't trust him... never had never will.

Vibe Tribe - Wise Cracks

they reik it the way i reik of pot.

*edit

Just because your parents have money doesn't mean your a spoiled tart.

Made by me :D

Seariously, I've been working on this bitch for a while now, it comes together real strong in the end.

If you want a spoiler, I played a guitar solo near the end which makes the song ridiculously dramatic.

Cmon give it a listen I know you want to ;)

Any feedback would be appreciated... good or bad.

I think a healthy scene is one where everyone there is happy, not one where everyone sits around being all jaded and shit.

It's really that good? I always figured the fantom was one of those things that tried to do so many things that it failed at all of them. Never gave it much of a chance though I suppose.

Or come into your house smelling like dirty sweat.
