Thank god cause that sucked balls.

How does that make us any different than the mindless masses ?

And to make matters worse, most promoters are pre-broke, spineless and soft. So what do you do when you find a $20 under an old pizza box, wanna make sure you can gather as much people as possible with the least chance of loosing money ? Well, you throw a psytrance or dubstep party, that's what ! "Hey, if 300 people came at that party last week, the same 300 peeps are bound to come to MY party !"

Now what comes next isn't reminiscing because, quite frankly, today's scene has NOTHING to do with what it was way back when but I remember a time where you'd have, within the span of a month, various parties of various styles, some of which WEREN'T EVEN POPULAR AT THE TIME. Some promoters used to take chances and throw speedcore parties when progressive trance was the new black. Yeah, they must've lost money. Yeah, the place mustn've been packed like crazy...

... but they had the fucking balls to dare and not fall under the same vicious circle of popularity. And somehow, most of them succeeded.

They were so impressed by this city during their visit that a short while after they wrote a song dedicated to Montreal which really is a beautiful piece of music.

I have zero compassion for broke promoters.

If you're practically broke to begin with, maybe you shouldn't be renting venues, sound systems, security, DJs, etc. and come crying you don't have enough money to pay for your staff and extra stuff.

If you can barely afford Kraft Dinner, don't fucking go dining at the Helene De Champlain restaurant and ball your eyes out trying to attract sympathy and comprehension from everyone when your bank account is in the red. YOU PUT YOURSELF IN THIS PREDICAMENT, no one twisted your arm to throw a party, no one forced you to invest in a party where you came out empty-handed money-wise, YOU decided to try your luck and do it anyway for whatever personal reasons or desire to serve your "rave community".

Ultimately, like ANY FUCKING BUSINESS VENTURE, YOU ARE ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PARTY'S SUCCESS OR DEMISE so stay sober ( for fuck's sake ), plan your shit thoughtfully like an adult instead of a giddy 8 year old on speed and learn from your - and everyone else's - mistakes. And if your party tanks, well suck it up and DEAL WITH IT LIKE A MAN/WOMAN instead of whining, bitching or sneaking out the back exit like a fucking coward.

Baby was a black sheep. Baby was a whore.
Baby got big and baby get bigger.
Baby get something. Baby get more.
Baby, baby, baby was a rock-and-roll nigger.
Oh, look around you, all around you,
riding on a copper wave.
Do you like the world around you?
Are you ready to behave?

Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
Outside of society, that's where I want to be.

(Lenny!)

Baby was a black sheep. Baby was a whore.
You know she got big. Well, she's gonna get bigger.
Baby got a hand; got a finger on the trigger.
Baby, baby, baby is a rock-and-roll nigger.

Outside of society, that's where I want to be.
Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.

(those who have suffered, understand suffering,
and thereby extend their hand
the storm that brings harm
also makes fertile
blessed is the grass
and herb and the true thorn and light)

I was lost in a valley of pleasure.
I was lost in the infinite sea.
I was lost, and measure for measure,
love spewed from the heart of me.
I was lost, and the cost,
and the cost didn't matter to me.
I was lost, and the cost
was to be outside society.

Jimi Hendrix was a nigger.
Jesus Christ and Grandma, too.
Jackson Pollock was a nigger.
Nigger, nigger, nigger, nigger,
nigger, nigger, nigger.

Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
Outside of society, if you're looking,
that's where you'll find me.
Outside of society, they're waitin' for me.
Outside of society.
