Where's Rebecca Black? Anyways...here are my top 10 favorite bands. Bands, of course, being musical acts with more than one member in them. Otherwise, they aren't a band. No particular order. 1. The Who 2. Led Zeppelin 3. Weezer 4. Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band 5. The Beatles 6. The Allman Brothers Band 7. Anberlin (yes, I admit it. They are much more melodically/harmonically deep than most other "emo" bands, and I absolutely love 'Never Take Friendship Personal' from start to finish. Particularly enjoy 'Stationary' and 'Symphony of Blase') 8. Bloc Party 9. Sigur Ros 10. The Strokes

Sven Vath, Duck Sauce, and Odd Future :thumbsup:

Wish it was an actual gif so I could save it on my comp for eternity :'(

Just added one of my eight mixes to Soundcloud. Will post it here momentarily! Edit: Here it is! NightlightOne Mix

Hayao Miyazaki's movies are incredible, from Princess Mononoke to My Neighbor Totoro. Early Jackie Chan movies are where it's at too. Funny and full of incredible fight scenes. Favorite foreign movie right now is probably Un Prophete. It's basically the Godfather in a modern setting. Extremely well-acted and well-written, and much tenser than I thought it would be.

Watched Akira for the first time last week. All I have to say is.... :shock:

Just visitin' to say free earl. Also steve harvey is a wonderful comedian. And this. My favorite collaborative OF track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhycjXvFDy8 Tyler eats the track alive. Gucci got nothing on this.

All reworks of the originals.

It most definitely does. For jazz, try Cobblestone Jazz. Very freeform, but some very interesting sound design and production, and a lot of live instrumentation is used too. They are as close to a jazz jam band as you can get, but I absolutely love their work. Their album "23 Seconds" is great, best cuts off of that include "Lime In Da Coconut", "Dump Truck", and "India In Me". Also check out all their singles on the label Wagon Repair. As for classical, producers Moritz von Oswald & Carl Craig reworked Bolero, Pictures At An Exhibition, and Spanish Rhapsody (the middle version used is Ravel's 1922 orchestration) and the outcome is simply amazing. Here's a review of it and the discogs page for it. I 100% recommend it. Discogs page Resident Advisor review Oswald has also released two albums with his Moritz von Oswald Trio on Honest Jon's Records, "Vertical Ascent" and "Horizontal Structures". Both are sort of abstract pieces with elements of dub techno and experimental music included, they're extremely interesting to listen to if you've an ear for detailed sound and sound design as a whole. Hope I helped! :thumbsup:

Just checked this out and it looked awesome. Thanks for the suggestion! :thumbsup:

Haha, I posted this exact same rant a few topics down. And you'll get the same sentiments I'm sure: it's the wilderness, tough cookies. I agree with you though, the same thing happened to me, and it's both sad and disheartening to see people do such things, but it's the way of the (virtual) world. Sucks, yeah. Get uber powerful and then go and kill someone up there. That's what I'm going to do. Eventually... :P

I'm a sort of DJ. I have about seven or eight mixes using Ableton under my belt, but I'm actively getting better at live mixing. I use Ableton Live 7 and an Akai LPK 25 midi controller. That's it. Seems to work just fine too, though. Hoping to work at the radio station at my college this summer and get some real experience under my belt.

Princess Mononoke. Miyazaki ftw.
