Every time I turn on my TV, start browsing the internet for hours at a time, blast EDM in my car, I get the sense that I am missing something. I know I'm not alone.
The way I see it, music or food, you have too much spice, you're less inclined to let your palette enjoy the more subtle tastes.......
Enter EDM....
Just about a decade ago, I was into Mars and Mystre and Alice Deejay and all that trance stuff for a second because my roommate was heavy into it. Just like I was into Skrillex and Zedd and _____ light show spectacle rave artist.
I enjoy that stuff still, and I've had my fair share of fun times, but there's less SOUL to the music and more instant dopamine-infused orgasmic quality to it.
So keep your gawdamn hands off your Smartphones people, pick up a book (an actual book, not a tablet), and maybe listen to some Wu-tang Clan or James Brown or Beck or something. Give it a shot. Digital is instant gratification. But ANALOG is just as dope.
Here's a sample of more "sustainable music" if you will.......
Closest weekly would be Funky Sole @ the Echo in Silverlake.

Another example of when times were more simple....
