You wouldn't get your Skrillex on to hang out with all of us? Yeah, but that's just how much I love you guys. Honestly I'd probably hate it less than Pretty Lights. That's funny because Pretty Lights is opening....

That's because Pretty Lights tries so hard to make some kind of weird intellectual (or what the fuck ever he's going for) EDM that it ends up sounding like a shit stew of annoying samples. Skrillex is far more entertaining and embraces the fact that dance music is derpy.

Skrillex is far more entertaining and embraces the fact that dance music is derpy. Naaaaiiiiiled it. That was exactly my problem with Pretty Lights. Who the fuck is he targeting, the erudite and scholarly rave kids? Just do something cool. Also: Prettier lights, plz.

But I think his whole thing is supposed "IDM" (oxymoron if you ask me) and more groovin' then dancin'. Which is fun and all, but he should have opened for Girl Talk because at the end of the first night of Sasquatch you don't want to see fallin' stars and to feel mellow. You want a Blitzkrieg Bop shitshow parade, amirite?

This is not me being an ass. Just clearing the air a bit. Pretty Lights doesn't necessarily fall under the IDM umbrella.

I like progressive trance. Am I doing this right?

Haha I was specifically downloading progressive trance mixes the other day. Sub genres are silly, yes, but clarity helps in such a wide spectrum of styles.

I'm being serious! That's the only genre that I've ever known that I liked! I thought that description was totally dating me! Hooray, I'm not as hopelessly old as I thought!

The Full Flex Express Tour is going to be at the Shaw Conference Centre which, if past concerts have been any indication, will be terrible.

IDM is headphone music. Pretty Lights isn't really headphone music. That's basically how I distinguish EDM genres - do I want to listen to this on my headphones, or do I want to listen to this in a sweaty crowd on drugs, or do I just not want to listen to this.

If you are going to elude every boarder, that's fine but you ain't gonna rain on this derp parade of joy. You should busk outside the doors. I'll be fucked up enough to give you everything in my wallet.

It's just not a great venue for shows. I'm sure it'll be fine though. Maybe they'll open up more than one hall....

Alex has no interest in meeting anyone from the board. He just comes here to talk about himself. Pretty much. Which is why it's strange boarders actually want to meet you. It just goes to show, a couple hundred forgetful posts mixed with a recurring pity party, and people will want to be your friend, even if you don't have a redeeming quality.

I think my brain must be broken, because everything Pretty Lights produces makes me want to dance like a maniac. High drugs or 100% sober, it doesn't matter. Plus if you are complaining about his light setup at Sasquatch, he didn't have his full rig or really even close to it because of the wind.

I like a good amount of Pretty Lights' recorded music but I thought his live set at Sasquatch was pretty boring. And the lights were a bit disappointing too, though I figured out later that he probably didnt have the lasers because you couldn't shoot them at the hill and there are probably some rules about shooting high powered lasers off into the sky.
