  1. well i know the lyrics to all the Blackout Crew now! and Cascada! arghhh!!!
  2. i`d say about 7-8 of my music, then 2-3 of alices madness and mayhem...i love music, house is waaay too quiet without my tuneage:)
  3. UK in the North seems to have lots of psy events:) the open air ones tho can be very breezy, like Shamania Solfest. Beathearder and Thimbleberry... soggy and wet and windy....deffo blows the cobwebs away tho! indoor we have lots to choose from, the smoking ban made the scene falter a little as some clubs had no provision for smokers, which meant going out the front, which also meant a few robbers took up residency, and the Tokers had no place to go huddle...!! Psy has definately altered this last couple of years, it seems a lot more bangy......where did warm and fluffy go?
  4. well you are the lucky one:) i have to make do with pc speakers and a woofer... works tho... i`m now listening to a mix by Sedge... Sunday lunacy... its quite good actually:)

  12. OOo! i`m a liking the samples, i think this will be going on my *to purchase* list!!
  13. What about Mystic Cigarettes by Saafi Brothers absolutely class!
  14. music..my love affair. Started very young..with Elvis, Billy Fury, Buddy Holly, Adam Faith and dance bands as parents were avid dancers..and mum loved rock..n..roll ..dad love country & western When i was 12, i met a girl at a bonfire night in the village, she was 11...this girl, Julie changed my life... she had 2 older sisters and an older brother(who, i may add, i had a crush on! ) Susan, the younger of her older sisters was a hippy and Paul was into heavy rock..........I was listening to Bowie and Black Sabbaths first album and when i used to vist, from there my taste progressed into prog rock with the likes of Led Zeppelin ,Wishbone Ash, Deep Purple then onto Thin lizzy. The first album i bought was T.Rex Electric Warrior(still have it too..battered but well loved ) and David Bowie, Space Oddity on flexi-disc ....mother used to tell people i liked electric guitar....she was right, that has never changed...... So, at 13 we started going to youth club.. i was looking thru the 45s and found Hendrix, All Along the Watchtower/Purple Haze, OMG i was blown away.......... By the time i was 14 i was a long haired, loon and cheesecloth wearing hippy..i..d go to discos and request stuff like Free/Bad Company, Jeff Beck, anything but pop music! If i was lucky and it got played i..d be sat cross- legged middle of the dancefloor *freakin out*, my god it felt great to listen to that music..i got such good vibes from it.......... I was mocked and laughed at, but found my niche with other metalheads, geeks and nerds (mostly guys) and drifted away from *normal * kids. they just didnt get it! So friday nights then found me in one or other of the guys houses watching Old Grey Whistle Test with whispering Bob Harris hoping they would put on some of our fave prog rock... and moan if they didnt of course, i bought NME and Melody Maker religiously to keep up with what was going on, At 16 or so i was going out in York to discos and dancing the night away where, i met a lad who introduced me to weird music..one album that comes to mind is White Noise/Electric Storm.. like wow! loved it........... on my musical journey went...in Newcastle i met a lad who was into concept albums , Alan Parsons Project ,Tale of Mystery and Imagination is one that comes to mind just now..the most brilliant album and i still have that one too..another one that pops to mind is Rush/Archives triple album...........(ahhh Lavondyss what a track!!) also found Rainbow, wow, what power the Live on Stage album has.. (Catch The Rainbow..what an epic).... Just before i went down south, punk had come in, and thanks to John Peel(DJ) i found Devo and 999 , siouxie &the banshees etc......... while down in the south i got lost in work ,and the 80s music was bad apart from Depeche Mode and Soft Cell and Erasure... all camp as .. really. but there ya go........... when i eventually came up north to work, i made friends with a lass who was into the Cure.............and so my goth era came along with The Cult,The Cure and The Mission ..Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim and so many others i left hotels to work in a Rock pub.......what a shock to find stuff like Faith No More ,Sepultura, Metallica... it took me a short while to decipher the music, but when i had , i loved it, the Glam metal scene was in and i hung out with a lass all into it, so Bullet Boys and Skid Row and all that type was added to my collection.........so i had come full circle really from prog rock to heavy rock and all others between and dont fit in a niche!! it was at this time the Blues Bar had opened....so i also got back into blues in a big way.......... When my life eventually went pear shaped i was dragged out to a night in london Return To The Source @Bagleys Warehouse.........7000 people all dancing to psychedelic trance, Drum&bass(which i seriously dislike) and chillout..... what a shock that was.............my mates abandoned me and i felt totally lost in music i had not heard before amidst thousands of people off their heads!! i didnt like it very much................. but the following week she dragged me to another night, smaller venue, the Fridge for Escape From Samsara..London again............... and basically, that was it for 10 years!Pendragon and many others @ the Theatre Factory., the fridge for Samsara and Otherworld, then Mindscapes @The Drome many others in the North with the likes of Kumdalini and Cabbage , Templehead, Kulu, Sunrise, Planet Zogg, Headcharge...........i gradually drew away from the scene, so from going out every weekend... (some weekends it was a party in london then one in leeds....no sleep from friday til sunday night was normal......................) To hardly going out at all...........since then i have just been listening anything that comes along, but not much dance music......i kinda miss the scene a little, but i was starting to get bored by 3am anyway and all i could think about was a nice cup of coffee and my bed.................I do venture to an odd *special* every now and then mind:) i..m am quite sure i will have missed out something so this will keep being updated! lol
  15. now this track is one i always loved:) a cheesy but pretty......(well, i`m a girl, i`m allowed) right i`m off to trance out now to all my old vinyl stuff........... and write a blog on my musical influences....
  16. I downloaded all of Michael Frantis music, but only listen to it on my pc.......Tho i havnt burned it off onto disc, does that make me bad? i have a few that others have given me, again , only for my personal listening..... I really hate that some djs wont even let you buy a track off them when you really really would love to listen to it lots and they have the only mix...... i have never blagged, never will, but if something is offered? not a problem for me. I give back in kind...usually something i have made, next time i see them they have a present from me! There will always be blaggers in this world...just dont let them get to you..
  17. happy hardcore.. it dont make me feel happy. o well, she`ll be at school soon...
