LOL @psychonymphe. I'm open to most forms of music...Hell, I can even stomach metal and those ridiculous "Bakgat Treffers" compilations- just for a laugh- but I never quite saw the point of trance, maybe because 90% of people who actually listen to it strung out on all sorts of chemicals. One Sunday, on my way to work, I passed a big trance club in Woodstock and people were still partying at 9am, a feat that can only be achieved while strung on drugs.

Don't even go there, the majority of the wannabe crowd here in PE will dance to ANY old shit, high or not. They tend to be such freaking posers, flitting from one in-club to the next, from genre to genre. Very much a bunch of baa-baas, brainless lot of twits. What's disturbing is that they're prepared to sniff/smoke/drink practically ANYTHING to get high.
As for masturbation, way back they used to tell us that we'd go blind if we overdid it. They lied, and my optometrist with his Tupperware spex will testify to that 
@Brix, i ran "edgumacated" thru Google earlier, found some rather surprising results! I first came across the word in an ancient Robert Ruark novel, thought it uncommon, but it would appear that quite a number of ppl have taken a liking to that particular word in its various guises as well. You got your new residence all sorted out then?

@da krypsta: Problem is I don't have the new place sorted out, I've got some fallback options but would prefer to be the master of my own destiny. I'm looking to stay in either Gardens or Tamboerskloof...I need to be closer to the city centre.
No disrespect to the folks who live in East London/PE or any other town but I could never possibly live in those places. Was talking to a friend this morning who moved from EL to Cape Town to work and she was telling me how much she hated the place, just because it felt claustrophobic and due to a lack of "culture".

I enjoy all types of music,with the exception of rave and boere stuff, especially sokkie treffers. Good music is good music no matter what. My big styles are all rock related, and i edging towards using electronic means to get my tracks down. I like massive attack, u2 coldplay, soad, but my big influences are from movie music makers such as ennio morrocone, and lots of others. My range might be too wide, but it leaves space for innovation and something new.
I despise the club scene here. The places i would go to would be Nile Crocadile which is the rock joint and Zeplins, which is the goth joint. I will get back into that scene when i start gigging again. |

No offence taken, Brix. It largely depends on one's rhythm, i think. I've spent a fair bit of time in the bigger cities, but always find myself coming back home, to where life is more sedate. If i really had to choose between Jozi and iKapa though, it'd be Slaapstad, if only for the facts that y'all also gots the beeg water and that i know my way around quite well.

Yeah I'd go along with that; there would be no reason to be offended.
If people relish in loadsa nightlife or if a person's a self-confessed mall rat or whatever, EL would depress. I can understand and appreciate how your connection must feel. Only one big shopping mall (Vincent Park, which is currently expanding again) and one decent retail park in Beacon Bay. Yes of course there are other smaller places of note dotted around EL, but really nothing major to write home about.
The kilometres of stunning beaches either side of EL has, however, an appeal all their own, and no cold Atlantic water or Benguela current to freeze that totterjie off. 
Horses for courses..here I am on the outskirts of a huge city of millions and many times I miss the not-so-happening eMonti.
@ Francois,
I see you mentioned System Of A Down (SOAD.) They played at the Download Festival by the Donington Park race track and the frenzy of pogo-type dancing that spontaneously ensued amongst the hordes when they played 'Bounce' was something to experience.
The 'Toxicity' album is a masterpiece, but it's 'Sugar' from their first album that really got me going. I'm really not into their latest two offerings though...Daron needs to leave his vocal contributions out and focus entirely on his guitar work...Serj definitely is THE only one for that job in that ever-eccentric band. |

No. That music is heinous stuff; the repetition of it causes more damage than the acid does. And people spend days there tripping on any psychedelic chemical they can lay their earthy hands on, while forgetting to eat their vegan sandwiches or drink any organic water (yes they claim there is such a thing as organic water). When they have successfully dehydrated on the dance floor come day 3 they blame it on the 'methane gas' from the cars (3 days of trance music causes brain damage). Dont listen to trance. |

System of a Down. I dont know that there's 1song of theirs that i dislike. I swear system can cater for every state of mind. I'd have gone on homicidal rampage had it not been for SOAD.
Tool is also pretty good. And ill nino, awesome...

So are you studying for law or did you not get in in time?
I got a soft spot for bands like SOAD and Rage Against the Machine because i seem to like my political bands. If not bands, people also, thats where Bono comes in. What a chap. Reading that book of Michka Assayas, the interview with Bono.The man has a brain, and better, he uses it. Some of his thoughts are really profound.
Then there is Rammstein:when that America song came out i was rolling on the floor it was so funny. I love these rips at americans.
Which brings me to mindsets. I bought the latest issue of SL magazine for there was a Nightmares on Wax track on. My experience with these magazines is that they make mindsets. All good and well what they do, but sometimes i think things like that kills free thinking. But that is just me rambling once again. Sleepy time! |

LMAO 786KBR,
Yeah that's the song 'Surfacing' off their first album. That's why I'm selective to the point that, although I dig the raw energy of Surfacing, the blatantly nihilistic rant in the song has rather demoted it in my rankings...I'd regard myself as far more positive individual than what Slipknot's Corey Taylor was spewing out when they recorded it. 
Funny enough, in their 3rd album, The Subliminal Verses, there's a couple of really lovey-dovey mello songs on the album as well!!!
No, I'm not going to try and justify anything of Slipknot, suffice to say that I feed off the barrage of powerful, structured steamroller of sound that they are able to produce...
Variety is the spice of life; last night I ended up listening to er...very different music in the Wancollection...from Cat Stevens to PM Dawn, from Talvin Singh to The Cure.

You guys may find this funny, BUT i like calmer music... INstumental stuff, gregorian, era, enya etc. Katie melua too, thats about the most music i have on my pc. I also like usic where you can actually hear what the artist sings, and i hate metal etc... And dont even talk bout rap, thats not music, thats something else.

LOL Rhino, I couldn't find that too funny, ... I've got Enya's greatest hits and her 'The Celts' album loaded on my PC as well.
I presume you've got a collection of other 'chilled' stuff like Enigma and Kenny G too then...but Katie Melua is a bit too 'mal-soet' for me.

@ Amawanqa, The Cure, enjoy their music...
I am also into the quiet stuff, but balance, like Wanqa said keeps life interresting. Funny, sometimes, I find tons of energy from depressing music like Dido...Metal is in another class: I like, but I balance it out highly...I know how it affects me, so I regulate it.
Calm stuff? I also enjoy Enya and Enigma and stuff like that, but concerning all types of music, I can only listen to so much, then I need either something else or quiet...
