Back!

I'm back! I'm tired! But it was worth it. Made lots of new friends, saw some really amazing things, had a lot of good nights dancing on beer slicked floors (and in some cases, tables), saw how inventive and strange Mother Nature can get and generally had a mad good time.

I'm dumping all my pictures (or at least the good ones anyways) up on Flickr. I've done about 150...and I have another 600 to go. :P It's going to take a while...

Heard lots of amazing music on my travels...Big songs for me:

• World, Hold On by Bob Sinclair
• Deja Vu (Freemasons Mix) by Beyonce
• Pictures (Tonite Only Remix) by Sneaky Sound System
• Put Your Hands Up For Detroit by Fedde Le Grande
• Changes (Dirty South vs. George B Rework) by Chris Lake
• I See Girls by Studio B

If you took the time to listen to any of that stuff, you'll notice there's a running theme (except for the first two): dirty electro bass bizness. I hated the whole 80's electro thing when it started to pick up, but I figured something out: while Toronto took electro and added it to rock or took it all the way back to the early house or minimal techno roots, the rest of the world just took the best parts - dirty disco basslines - and modernized it. I'm wondering if it's time to move out of the funk/organic breaks world...Hmmm...

Oh!! And The Host is coming to Canada on March 30th!!! You *must* see this movie!!! :D
