Playlist: Trance

I kinda got into Trance music at my first job at an IT firm back in 2004. I had fired up Yahoo radio for the eleventy millionth time and just out of curiosity chose the eurodance station. One extreme coding session and four hours later, I was totally hooked. So now I listen to classic rock, the radio, single piano and trance music. I think I can truly claim to have ‘unique’ musical taste. Here are a few of my favorites.

The first one isn’t quite trance, but it has a similar feel.

Got a favorite playlist to work to, play to, or just relax?

Spring – Knockouts

I visited my parents this weekened and their knockout roses are just blooming. I got a couple shots I really liked. I think I’m going to go to Home Depot and buy some for the entire length of the right side of my house. That’s a lot of flowers, but it would be spectacular next year.

Both images are wallpaper size, if you’re so inclined to use them.

I only like that last photo because it’s got an ant butt in it. You can tell I’ve been leaning towards vintage washes in my photos.

I’ve been working 11+ hour days at work. Sounds like it sucks. Probably because it does. One good thing about staying late is that I catch the sunset coming back from work. These are just crappy phonecam pictures taken while driving but … Georgia has beautiful sunsets. Since my drive is less than 10 minutes ( and now, about 4 hours before sunset ), I barely ever see them.

Also. I can’t stop listening to this. It’s my dance in my cube alone song.

Yeah this post was really about nothing.

Happy Wednesday!

Hello Seattle

I got my hands on the Owl City album recently and just listened through it. If you know me at all I love things like dance floor beats and techno/electronic/trance stuff. I was intrigued by the appearance of Fireflies by Owl City on the airwaves. It had a very unique sound to it. It was bubbly without seeming too childish, airy without losing meaning. I really fell in love with the song.

Recently the popular music trend is slowly but surely leaning towards the house / club kind of genre. This has thrilled me greatly as I’ve been immersed in that music since my days in on a college campus during a high school program back in 2001. You can’t escape this music in a city known for it’s clubs and dance scene.

The only gripe I have with the album is that most of the songs sound too much like each other. The artist really could vary the sounds a little more across the tracks. The same dulcimer sound makes it very hard to consider more than one or two songs in the list worth listening to at any one time.

Anyway check it out if you’ve got a spare $8 or 9. My favorite tracks are the smash hit Fireflies and the not so famous Hello Seattle.
