Deuxieme

What up? I just ate a tangerine and some bread and it was scrumptulescent.

I am tired of shitty electro being good. From now on I promise myself that if I go into any club and it is playing some s.e. I'll wait for two songs and then leave. My boycott of crappy clubs. I've heard alot of it and I'm tie-erd. I will show you what I mean with examples. First is a bad non-vocal electro jam. The second is an acceptable non-vocal electro jam.

Actually, scratch that. During my zshare wait time I decided to use different stuff. I'll give two bad ones cause I already uploaded the Chemical Brothers one.

Bad:
Don't Stop The Rock - The Chemical Brothers
2 Hearts (Destroy Disco Remix) - Kylie Minogue

Better:
Back Of The Van (Van She Tech Turbo Fire Engine Mix) - Ladyhawke

So you might be thinking to yourself..."why did I not feel the good song was any different?" If you thought that you haven't listened to enough electro. Plus...think if you were are a club and it was the same beat over and over. Which most are here. That one song has like... 3 breakdowns. And it is an excellent example of how a potentially boring intro/middle/end can be put together to form a comprehensive song. If you're going to play electro, play stuff like that and then throw in a mash-up once in a while. That will make the crowd happier. Hell, Katy Perry is hot right now. Why can't you just throw that in on top of a beat? You have like 3 parts of that song that can be sampled and sound different and could take up 3 to 4 min each of club time.
Here... if you're a dj and reading this I'll break that one down:
1. "Not my intention - Caught my intention"
2. "I Kissed a Girl"
3. "I'm in love tonight"
You listen to that and there are way too many things to sample over and over that you could play that song for
Nobody expects perfection from an in-house dj; they do expect something interesting.

There. If you have complaints about those tell me. I would also like to take this time to say that a band that makes crap can also make good music. Visa-Versa.

I'm sitting here trying to think of a list of stuff that, if I heard it at a club, would make that night the best night out ever...
But that will come soon enough. Can't spoil the fun on the second blog.


Now for some dedications to my homies.
