lol dude, I know you haven't really got much into MDPV (and I'm not advising you to by any means) but I bet to hell you would enjoy staying a weekend with me, my stimulant collection, and my massive sound system
Death by bass
I'm betting I would! You know you've got a place to hang any time you decide to venture over to the Dirty Side (that's the east coast) vs. the Shaky Side (that's the west coast).
I know we both do our respective area codes justice when it comes to both stimulants and bass! What kind of sound system(s)? are you running?
I'm currently listening to Best of Tunnel: 2003 - 2005 [TV Ad]. Good uplifting trance, mainly German stuff with some techno/trance remix of then-current pop songs...you know, before all the hardstyle/gabber/hardcore/dubstep/dubcorewhatever influences started showing up. It's a classic album to drive to for me. I'm listening to it on my laptop with my Philips SBC HN110 noise canceling headphones...nothing special, I know, but they're my old standby headphones, unless I'm listening to my turntable, of course

Y'all have earthquakes! hahahaBy the way, I'm running Behringer Truth Passive Studio Monitors hooked up to an old powerful pioneer amp. These things have crystal sound, as they are made for studio monitoring (obviously, haa) rather than home/club listening.
Ka-motherfucking-boom.

^damn mayyyyynneee, props for having the studio monitors! Did you get 'em new or used?
Let me see if I can dig up a picture of my thrift-store speakers, I'm using a newer RadioShack sourced 5.1 amp set up in 2.0 stereo mode, I wanna say its pushing 100w per channel.
Edit: Here they are: (tags for bandwidth only)
NSFW:
I use those for parties, etc. They're rated at 200 watts each, although I've cranked the amp all the way up in regular stereo mode with all EQ settings (on Winamp, the computer's sound card, and the amplifier) cranked up and this track at about 4:00 in (which has some pretty hard bass along with a nice hi-hat, I usually use it to test speakers/headphones) and some distortion showed up, mainly on the upper frequencies. For parties, however, they're ideal, because they have decent enough bass response for a dirty dance track. I don't have a subwoofer and don't really have the desire to get one at this point...Last edited:
Yeah... earthquakes are fucking awesome. Were long-overdue for a major bitch-slap-of-an-earthquake actually. I won't mind, it'll purge the coastlines of all the rich folk who built houses on the fucking cliffs – something even the fucking neanderthals were smart enough not to do.
Got 'em used actually off craigslist, they were pretty cheap.
And the amp I already had.
But yeah, studio monitors are the way to go unless you wanna fork out the money for a professionally designed home system (not talking consumer home theater system garbage). In addition to full-frequency response listening, they have FAR enough bass to avoid buying a subwoofer unless you're trying to turn your house into a fucking commercial EDM venue.
Well hey, at least you got the amp! You can find monitors like the ones I have for very cheap if you already have an amp. I don't think my amp is much more powerful than that, so you should be able to run most average monitors on it.

I have just had an exceedingly rough year and I don't know how I am still living. It is a mystery to me.
Other than the theory I have in which god would not want a dead human punching back but an alive one. He must get off on the screams of horror and disgust.
And, therefore, fuck god.

^I agree, god sucks. I think God/god is a human invention anyway, a manifestation of reality. Anyway, that's for after I eat more LSD.
Yeah man, the amplifier was/is the most expensive part of my current setup. I opted for the cheaper $100 turntable and the $250 amplifier system. I can use it for 5.1 if I ever want to do a surround sound, although I probably never will, I'm a stereo kind of guy. Works very well if I want to lay on the floor, put my (other) headphones on, smoke a bowl or two and listen to a vinyl rock record from the 1970s. The way they were made to be listened to.
In regards to the subwoofer thing, that's exactly why I don't have one. The cops have gotten called on the parties I've thrown where I play EDM...without a subwoofer...and most of my friends don't even want to listen to EDM, so when they're finally in the mood, I tend to go nuts with it. My girlfriend's setup at her house is even better than mine, but she has smaller speakers, but a vintage Pioneer turntable and an even more vintage Technics amplifier from the late 1970s.

^Where are those lyrics/words from?
I have to modify my earlier statement about god/God being a manifestation of reality, god/God/whatever else you want to call it (I mostly subscribe to Buddhist spiritual views so I don't really like the term "god" anyway). It (god/God) is more of a manifestation of humanity's perception of reality, time, past/present/future, their existence or lack thereof, etc. Much simpler to explain to people that there's a dude in the sky that looks a lot like Gandalf/Odin than attempting to explain how one's soul/spirit fits in with the bigger picture of existence and reality.

One of my favorite metal bands of all time.
Let me try to see if I can find an interview about this dude named Ynleborgaz. Here we go..
He is interviewed about his two major projects, MaC...KY as well as Agantyr.
Call me crazy, I am sure many of you will, but I hope to make a noise tribute to MaC...KY's first full length, I even have a psychedelic take on the cover art prepared.
I also can listen to the lyrics in the songs despite him screaming most of it (there is a female vocalist who takes over for select lines).
I'm the same way, except all my friends listen to EDM all the time. Everyone seems to like very different genres of EDM.
But whenever the stereo is in my control.... its HOUSE TIME mofucka
I get tired of all their dubstep too fast. I mean I like dubstep, but the fucking masses adopted it as the 'cool genre of EDM' and every since then its all I fucking hear.
Ever listen to UK Garage?
Theres some cool Garage/Bassline/4x4 stuff out there.

Very nice, I'm about to dip out in a few minutes, I'll peep the link when I'm back online for longer than 30 seconds however

I get tired of dubstep faster and faster lately, mainly because when I go to a party where people are actually listening to EDM...they're more likely than not playing nothing but dubstep...so I have to go change the music to trance, or pretty much anything with a 4/4 bassline. I was actually tripsitting three people who were on 2C-B a bit ago and one of the people had brought their laptop and they had nothing but dubstep on it. I mean, I've never done 2C-B but I've done 2C-I many times and 2C-E...and trance was the only electronic music I really, really enjoyed while tripping on those drugs.
I've never heard UK Garage however, care to make some recommendations?
I'm dipping out right now, but I'll peep on those when I get back online later as wellYo NT - Here are some pics of me ramblin' in my favorite spot (a state-owned large piece of empty property me and my brother figured out how to get into, nothing there but untouched land on the side of the coastal California cliffs):
Not a single road, or even tire tracks, in the whole place.

Nice pics ektamine!Thanks Captain
Hey NT, when you get the chance shoot me over some recommendations (names or links) of some good trance. Trance is one EDM genre I know nothing about, other than the main-est of mainstream (Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, ATB, Kaskade, Deadmau5, etc).
I've heard some really good trance live, but I always have trouble sorting through the average and shitty stuff on teh internetz
