Do what feels good, but is that all to it?!

 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....
