etd.POP 2010: THE DREAM

TIMESLOTS are up!!!

manng it would be hella tight (euphoric) if the trance was all together in one block: Dyloot, GTR (aka Gareth Emery), and then AvB.

I think 9:25 to 11:30 will be my break time. Not that much into house and I will be a bit tired from raging to previous two electro acts, and getting ready for AvB and IM.

Skills: etd.POP 2010

see you there!

and as the skills saying goes:

"Let the music take you higher" :)

don't remember which track I trying to look for when I found this album. Maybe one of the tracks by Painkiller. But this is a great psy trance compilation album regardless (do you know how difficult it is to find psy trance? vs trance with hella posts on forums, psy trance: surf the web for a long time and find these sites you've never heard of but seem to be popular and make you unsure how big psy trance really is around the globe). Full-on psy trance! With psytars, quick bassy synths, atmospheric spacey alien sounds, 150+bpm, paranoia inching up your spine urging you to hurry up and finish reading that damn textbook chapter or 2 or 3 or 4 and finish that paper/hw before the cherry-eating leprechauns induced by bits of your roommate's leftover shrooms you found in the fridge leap out of the computer screen and steal the gold from your pounding heart.

yeah. who needs coffee when there's psy trance? (lol me if it's in the morning. plus coffee coupled with psy trance maximizes productivity by a significant level—if you don't have a panic attack or headache first. jk about the last part. if you're a newb to psy trance, you might have a headache, esp, when working on math problems. but just get used to it and listen to more psy.)

Synesthesia :: Blossom EP

artist: Synesthesia

album: Blossom EP

release date: dec.2009

label: FreeAnce

genre: psy/goa trance

rating: sehr gut

53mb

1. On and On (vs David Abrgel)
2. Blossom
3. Blossom (Mindelight rmx)
4. Funky Junky
5. Why?!

First, a smashing collaboration between Synesthesia and David Abrgel, an experimental downtempo delight to get you into the mood. Then we get our theme track for this EP: Blossom's funky melodies and arpeggios combined with roaring-shouting leads plus a great spacey sound. This thumping yet emotional track is much better enjoyed than described. And here comes an unexpected treat: A RMX to Blossom by Mindelight. The fully melancholic Blossom theme is turned into a wild-funky pumping full-on track with a bluesy feel that only Mindelight can deliver. Following, a Full-Rocking track which is a mere taste of the Synesthesia's live experience, live drums and electric guitars played with a nice upbeat base to form Funky Junky. Last but not least comes WHY?! The natural way for Synesthesia to close this release. A downtempo more darkish style track, experimental in its core, WHY?! Presents the main idea behind Synesthesia's concept, which is not confined by any BPM or conventional trance standards, with guitars perfomed by Hernan (aka Mindleight) there's no mistake in saying that this EP is a keeper.

A video my friends and I did in high school for our VideoProduction class. Take this "serious" tour of Albany, CA with the host, Caleb.

enjoy.

p.s. this video has a lot of inside jokes directed to people who live or grew up in Albany, but you might get a few laughs.

Whee~ basically the same sort of lineup as last year.

Turns out AVP of Concerts and Events Alex Bramwell — the guy who plans Sun God — prefers his fun orderly as well. In an interview with the Guardian on Monday (in which he refused to share this year’s increased cost of security), he defended the festival’s fenced-in format and said he’d cage the Sun God Festival any day if it meant he was saving a student’s life.
We understand that Bramwell can’t help but capitalize on the opportunity to play god at his own mini Coachella, but let’s not forget that this isn’t his event, — nor the A.S. Council’s. It’s a festival for the students, paid for with $550,000 of their fees. It’s a student’s decision to binge himself into a stupor — and whether he’s attending an isolated concert or an all-campus bash, it will always happen. (By the way, if you want to ensure people will stay sober, you should give them a lineup that’s worth staying conscious for.)

shanghai transformation

Wuijang Road

Sometimes what officials claim is conservation is anything but. Old buildings are rebuilt with new materials, while developers have torn down protected structures in the dead of night, often with official support. And even in protected zones old architecture has been displaced by new roads and hotels. Conservationists here are on constant alert, and protests among residents have become increasingly frequent. “It’s an arduous war,” said Mr. Ruan, who four years ago founded the Ruan Yisan Heritage Foundation, a preservation group.
