Trance is the most sublime, divine, advanced music genre known to man, representing a quantum leap in artistic creativity analogous to the development of the frontal lobe in the human brain. Having an IQ below 130 renders one incapable of appreciating, let alone enjoying trance. Being a connoisseur of trance bespeaks of extremely high intelligence and impeccable level of personal sophistication. On the other hand, those who despise trance can uniformly be characterised as primitive troglodytes, closer to ape than man.
Trance can make you cry, make you shout, make you cheer, and make you celebrate absolutely nothing of substance except pure ecstatic bliss.
In the history of the human race
Of all the inspirations for the separation of man from his true tribal culture
Of all the inspirations for the acts of violence from one man onto another
From one nation onto another, from one oppressor onto the oppressed
There is no more guilty party and inspiration than those books known
As the Holy Bible, the Koran, and the Bagavad Gita to spread separation of mankind
The Bible is bullshit, the Koran is a lie
The Bagavad Gita did not fall from the sky
These are the books that were written by men
They’ve caused wars, now follow if you can
They took away our love and gave us fear
Tried to make us hate the one who put us here
Then they took our sacred songs and made them wrong
Then they took away our prayers and gave us theirs
The Bible is bullshit, the Koran is a lie
The Bagavad Gita did not fall from the sky
These are the books that are written by men
They’ve caused wars, now follow if you can
First they created sin so they could win
Then they built the cages they could put us in
Then they took away our tribes and gave us jail
Then they took away the Earth and gave us hell
The Bible is bullshit, the Koran is a lie
The Bagavad Gita did not fall from the sky
These are the books that are written by men
They’ve caused wars, now follow if you can
It’s time for you to love one another
It’s time for you to recognize your brother
It’s time for us to stop killing our mother
It’s time for us to care for each other
I’m just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I’m far away from home
And I’ve been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
Ive been looking back to find
Where I went wrong.
Too much love will kill you
If you can’t make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You’re headed for disaster
Cause you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time…
What’s your favourite music genre? For me it’s electronic dance music, mostly trance and it’s sub-genres. I listen to an insane amount of trance and love them so much that I renamed my web hosting business to Trance Host earlier this year.
The tag cloud that you’re seeing below was created from over 35,000 songs that I’ve listened to in the last 5 years, tracked by the awesome Last.fm.
The female vocalists and the pop tag that you’re seeing is primarily because of Queen of Pop, Madonna. I’m a huge fan of her and I used to listen to her songs for months after months without a break or even getting bored. Madonna’s “Crazy for You” is my all time favourite song, I’ve listened to it for like gazillion of times! Other singers consisting the female vocalists tag are Enya, Carpenters, Shakira, Cascada, Ayumi Hamasaki and more.
My favourite trance DJs and electronic music producers are Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Aly & Filla, Robert Miles, Paul van Dyke, Tiesto, ATB, Robert Shah, and Deep Forest. I don’t listen to house and hardstyle, they are too slow and too fast for me respective orders.
A new genre that I’ve been listening to a lot this year is Eurodance, mostly on my favourite online radio station Digitally Imported. Now that 2010 is almost over, let’s see if my taste changes and if I start listening to new genres over the next few years!
I am deeply saddened by the death of Michael Jackson. It’s so hard to believe that the King has passed away.
I grew up listening to his songs, and there was a time when music meant Michael Jackson to me. It’s so freaking unbelievable that he died this early.
Rest in peace MJ, you’ll always be in our hearts. You were truly the King of Pop, and you’ll be greatly missed!
My top 10 favourite MJ tracks:
01) Heal The World
02) Man in the Mirror
03) I Just Can’t Stop Loving You
04) Smooth Criminal
05) Black or White
06) Bad
07) Beat It
08) You Rock My World
09) You Are My Life
10) They Don’t Care About Us
You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter
And if you aren’t there already you’ve missed it
If you haven’t been bookmarked, retweeted and blogged
You might as well not have existed
In the old days it was all about achievements
Collecting all your trophies in a shrine
Then everybody came across the internet
And suddenly you had to be online
A home page was all you really needed
To seem like a success but not a geek
As long as you updated semi-annually
And checked your email once or twice a week
You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter…
Technology was moving rather quickly
And the next thing you needed was a blog
With intimate and detailed press releases
And now and then a photo of your dog
More recently the students brought us Facebook
And everybody has a hundred friends
The parties in the photos look amazing
They’re not so great but everyone pretends
You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter…
Now you need to publish every movement
And every single thought to cross your mind
I’m told the Twitterverse is full of rubbish
But most of us are actually quite refined
We validate each other’s insecurities
And brag about the gadgets that we’ve bought
We laugh out loud at every hint of jolliness
And try to self-promote without being caught
You’re no one if you’re not on Twitter…
This awesome geek song written and sang by Ben Walker. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
