Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

It's just the purity of the sound, rather than the popularity of it. And what's suddenly branded as defining that whole genre that pisses people off (if it does).

That definitely makes sense.

I keep listening to Fei Fei's mixes when I am working.  I really like them.  So thanks!  8)

Dubstep is mostly associated with Hipsters than EDM these days... I know because I've been going to dubstep nights since 2008 or 2009*


*yes, i realize how hipster that sounded, see what i mean?**

**make your own assumptions


But yeah, threat hit the nail on the head on why it's getting flack... it's the new "in" thing.
And her buddy's getting flack from (both sides) because he's the "new" guy that made it big... and he has a shocking past!!!
(he was in an emo band (gasp!))

But what it comes down to is, he's good at what he does, he's has his own sound (which is doubly tough for dubstep), and he's got the respect from major names in the electronic and non-electronic genres.
so good on him.

Dunno how it is in Montreal, but dubstep is most definitely NOT associated with hipsters in L.A., haha

Dubstep is considered "BROSTEP" out here for a reason -- usually a bunch of college drunkards calling each other "BRO!" at these shows!

Also: I'm sure you've heard of my other buddies, Benga and Caspa, right? They've been doing this a lot longer than you in 2008 ;p

I am digging chillstep lately.  It's dubstep without the bros.  lol

(and I think I am going to try to remix TPD's daffystep tonight.  haha)

edit:  bah!  TPD, why don't you have your stuff set to download?  8(  Send me a copy of daffystep!

So after waiting for a little bit I went to the bank today about my debit card going out of date in April. I thought it was the start of April. The bank teller guy said it goes out at the end of the month. So I leave the bank get home. And what comes in the mail today? New card. I got it activated (which took me forever, cuz I would fuck up a button and restart...)

Boss was just waxing lyrical over how she'd found this music available under Creative Commons (we are in education and while we have music licences, they're restrictive)  by "the Nine Inch Nails"

Seriously couldn't stop giggling.

it's total hipster fodder (or has been for the past 2 years) here. then again we got a massive hipster and bedbug infestation here so maybe it's clouding my logic,.
some british paper named us the new brooklyn! weep.
as it's becoming more mainstream imagine the bros will hit here soon (if they haven't already)

Also: I'm sure you've heard of my other buddies, Benga and Caspa, right? They've been doing this a lot longer than you in 2008 ;p

well, yeah! dubstep's been goin on for ages, yo.
i only heard about those guys, and dubstep itself, for the first time in 2008, is what i'm saying...
but i had to throw in an I KNEW IT FIRSSSSST to continue my hipster themed post.

When I came back from Seattle I was sick. I recovered from being ill to just having a really bad cough and phlegm. I went to the clinic we have here in town. And the nurse said (I didn't see a doctor, but a nurse that give out RX) it wasn't pneumonia which I had as a kid. And it wasn't in my lungs. And she gave me a rx for some pills that should open up my lungs or something. They aren't really working. And I'm still coughing, and my voice is still fucked. I sound horrible and my voice will crack or just go away randomly. And she said that it should be getting better after 3-5 days. Today is day 7ish. SO I'm waiting eh. I just hope it is going away at some point. (OR I get good enough drugs to where I don't care if it does or doesn't go away!)

[r00]

I cannot remember seeing so many sick people over such a long time period before.  Since November, I have come down with some sort of flu or cold pretty regularly every 2 weeks.  It is fucking crazy.  I have been sick more times in the past 6 months that I have been in the past 10 years.  I don't know what the fuck kind of super flu was released last year, but thanks!  There has been many a day where my workplace sounds like a goddamn TB ward.

[Aaron]

Damn. Normally I get sick and feel better a few days later. But never like this. I can always talk when I get sick. Now though, not so much so... But ya, I hope I get better soon this is getting stupid...


Also a shot of dayquil and an energy drink works wonders for the cold/flu.   

Wait are you sure it's not your "snot wrangler" ? (I still LOVE that phrase.)

[r00]

I would say yes, except everyone else has been sick 10 times as much as she has.

Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with how many people I work with that are just off a plane from halfway across the world.  I think this place has a constant influx of new state-side cold and flu viruses that I have no built up immunity to.

I hope you feel better soon, Aaron.  If it continues to get worse, go see another doctor and get a second opinion.

[Aaron]

Damn. There always seams to be people sick at my work, but then again, we have a lot of people in and out of the store...

Ya plane rides are great for getting sick. Closed space and lots of people...

Ya, if I'm not better in a few days I'm going to see someone else. Thanks for the well wishes. The main issue is that I'm not really sick, I feel fine, just cough and my voice sounds like shit.

[Aaron]

Ugh. Still coughing, and the RX she gave to me was helping, in that it would let me breath with out coughing. I also have a pounding headache. Which might be from not eating food till hella late. Ugh... I'm loath to go to the ER, but I have 5 more work days till I'm off to go back to the clinic... (Mostly cuz the ER is expensive HELLA expensive. And I'm super cheap when it comes to medical bills...) Ugh... I don't even mind being sick, as long as its like the flu or whatever, this just fucking sucks. I'm sick, but not really, I still feel fine, other then cough...

[r00]

do you have a sick day you can use so you can see a doc?  I hate urgent care prices too.  I had a bill from them once for $1000 for nothing more than standard tests.
