Keeping The Saw Sharp

If anyone has noticed (and I'm sure that you all have), I've been blogging a lot more lately. I'm just trying to keep the old saw sharp. See, in the next two weeks, I have around eight (8!) papers to write. (Procrastination strikes again!) Therefore, to make things easier, I'm writing in my blog a bit more than usual. "How does that help?", you might ask. Well - if I write every day, then the actual process of writing is a lot easier, because I'm always warmed up for it.

Also, it's a great way to fool myself into thinking that I'm being productive without actually getting anything done. ;D

Since I love you guys so much, here are some jams to make your lives better:

Hammer & Herbick feat. Boytronic - You (Dyor's Big Room Remix)
Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Dawn of the Dead (Fear of Tigers Remix)

What's that? Main-room trance? John, are you losing your mind? Nope. Not really, anyway... I was trying to study tonight (huge sociology exam tomorrow, yikes!), and I wanted to listen to some music, so I decided to throw on di.fm's trance channel. I haven't listened to much trance in awhile. I'm still stuck in the sound of late 2007 / early 2008. The original version of The Blizzard - Kalopsia (the one with the long orchestral intro) is still my favorite piece of trance. When I do listen to trance, I usually go with some of the old-school Andy Moor or Rank 1 tracks. I'm honestly not too taken with this new breed of "electro-trance", what with the glitchy breakdowns and buzzing basslines that it blatantly stole from house (which, by virtue of its longevity, funkiness, and disco heritage, is vastly superior - at least in my humble elevated, pretentious, self-important opinion)... although, I gotta say, I am pretty down with what Wandii (who, with Andi C., is also Karanda) is doing right now. (In fact, I am really looking forward to their new remix of that track by Code 64. That's gonna be good.)

Oh, and of course, that Fear of Tigers remix does not disappoint, either. That man has officially entered my list of People Who Can Do No Wrong.
