Last week (or was it the week before?) I was chatting with Morgan about music, she mentioned she had tix to Krewella and Excision, and she was curious what I listen to since she'd overheard some of the psytrance stuff I play when the office is empty. So today it occurred to me to point her to a sampler: my "oldschool" mix tracklist and DJ Jason Voorhees' "Tears of Sadness" set from Soundcloud. This tipped me to the fact that I'd never actually imported that tracklist from entries so tagged on my LJ. LJ was... (...more)

answering yahoos: topped 30,000 participation points. I have learned a LOT, but I have also let it become an enormous time sink to the detriment of other things, so 30K is going to have to be the retirement mark. Need to learn to let people just be wrong on the internet.
