melatonin and kava together seemed to have a pretty profound effect on how much i was able to harness that. high kavalactone concentration in the kava, very low melatonin, like 1mg. i dont take either anymore and didnt take either for very long, but boy did it have an effect in being able to channel that lucidity. ive even noticed more recently that the way my brain works, i can hear a song even just once and somehow recall it in my sleep with the same or even more detail that i noticed when i was awake. usually its right as im waking up at the end of a sleep cycle these days. the brain is such a strange computer that it seems almost unfair or wrong to not take the cues from it when its resting as part of the experience of facing your essence and to try and take in as much as you can even if you're sleeping. then again, i guess i dont ever really feel 'asleep' as a result of that, ahaha.

nobody would be friends either because music would cease to be about simply the music and would be about competition and compensation and not at all expression, kind of like what danimal's whole spiel seems to be to me. kind of why we keep getting caught up in these circular discussions of objective nature as well.

danimal 'im trying to make a living with toys' cannon pretty often comes off as if he looks down on anyone for not being prog enough or whatever enough, perhaps even subconsciously and most likely believes that whatever he does in lsdj is the objectively correct intended purpose of it and theres no deviation in that to him. i would like to think otherwise and give him the benefit of the doubt, but theres too much evidence to the contrary. even just in this thread. but hey, read all the threads and make that distinction on your own. if that works for him i cant disagree with it especially if it creates success, but its a pretty reptilian philosophy to have if its in your best interest to try and keep things real.

and if that is your 20, there is no changing or challenging a mind like that because that mind was never open in the first place, only stuck on whatever goal of 'success' thats set. whatever you create will be blown out and you will be left with a bigger impression in your mind of not succeeding. things are not going to ever be fully successful for anybody because that is not what the word 'success' means. and nobody is ever gonna make a living off a gameboy no matter whether they make the musical equivalent of doves shitting rainbows or not because if it was gonna happen, it would have already done happened. and really, am i even talking about music anymore or is that some skrillex shit that i am approaching here. i dunno, but if i had to choose between a skrillex or a squarepusher, i'd much rather sit down with squarepusher and talk to him about stuff that would help me learn to improve my skills, rather than open a dialog with skrillex to find out how to improve the way i can fleece others into thinking im doing something new when its assuredly not. and thats not a dig toward dan despite some of the things ive said about him, thats a position that any person can put themselves in and can learn from if they actually care enough to experience it.

i think mouse trap is the best sounding board game, after that i'd vote hungry hungry hippos

fuck man, cable swingers live is something i've dreamed about since i first heard cherry, this is totally incredible. you guys gotta do more of this.

it doesnt look like a lot of work goes into the blog to me. im not trying to be a dick or anything or slag that its for the artists, but then again, one could argue that if a lot of work were going into it that maybe there wouldnt be full releases from artists who are charging for their work there.

sorry but this blog is sort of wack. hes got all sorts of 'no site as far as i can tell' on his descriptions, which arent very descriptive to begin with. he just isnt researching the stuff he's blogging about all that well if he is going to write that for stuff and find the webpages, but selling the artists down the line in a scene this small on releases is actually kinda counterproductive. lets take just one of his blog entries:

wtf? is this really the best that could be done there?

i dunno about that man, you dont just get lazy and slip a remix into a video thats got that much production goin on in it, ahaha. of course they might play it off legit as if they just misplaced their paperwork, and never got a receipt out to zabu or dubmood, but they owe em restitution, no two ways about it.

curious to see bit shifter weigh in on this and how much transparency he can give us, it will certainly serve to be useful depending on how this goes and possibly he could aid to come to some terms of agreement here if the lines of communication are open. heres hoping, that would be a best case scenario. i gotta say again tho, at least its a video that has a significant amount of production to it and looks 'pro'. of course that doesnt make this situation look any better, but if people recognize it and appreciate and enjoy it after a resolve is reached, it at least looks like they put a modicum of work into it.

i certainly dont like the content and i think its pretty gross, but thats my opinion. you would have thought that they would have went with some music that sounded a little bit more like mortal kombat music though. my impression is that they put all their funding and effort toward the video and then the audio was an afterthought, and a fairly shortchanging one that maybe they had to handle in a lump sum for all those vids and yeah, i guess they coulda simply gotten sloppy. but the fact that they cleared bit shifters songs leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
