    There is no psytrance "scene"...

    in General Psytrance

    There are only people who know this and people who don't know this and are

    therefore being manipulated by the people who do know it."

     

    And to quote Mr T. Leary,

     

    "Think for yourself,

    Question Authority."

     

    I never thought of the psy crowd as the manipulators. I figure that at least we know we are being manipulated, and as Mr. Leary suggests, choose to question authority. Unfortunately, money talks, and psytrance walks (or dances in a hedonistic fashion ignoring the powers-that-be whose grasp grows ever tighter).

    Scores in reviews

    in Off Topic

    Might just be my logistical side, but I like the combination. A score, and a justified reason for it. The worst reviews are obviously the ones that are just a sentence long with a x/10 or a random letter grade, but that doesn't mean a review which is well written is any less meaningful because there is some kind of 'score' attached to it. I'm surprised you get so butt hurt about it, babasio....

    Shit, that's exactly the stuff from him I hate! I can't even read that because it makes me feel strangely uncomfortable. Honestly - I read the first 4 emails (2 per person) before I got disgusted. Like I'm ashamed to be of the same species as someone who's such an asshole. And for no reason other than to amuse himself.

     

    Are you fucking kidding me!?!?!?!? I was laughing out loud the entire time I read that after the 4th or so e-mail! So, so, good. I gotta look into if these are actually real...

    Shpongle Mask

    in General Psytrance

    For me that would be roughly $800 for the mask... I would honestly expect it to be the size of the mask they have at live shows for that cost. Even if the artist spent a few days on each one, they'd be making a fantastic turn even discounting what Twisted would pull off the top. $800 for the size of that is incredibly outrageous, even for a collector's item, and it doesn't fit the impact bracket of the vast majority of their fanbase, though I am interested to see how many sell :huh:
