Abstinence

Today it's friday. I just came home from a long walk with my dog aka brother. My abstinence to make music has almost a success rate of 100% to hit me during those walks. I usually download the latest show by Armin van Buuren (A state of trance for those who know what that is) and go for atleast an hour with that in my ears.

It's not a coincedence that he is the worlds best DJ, not just in my head, but officialy voted to be. First off, he have balls to really play the music he loves and not go with crappy mainstream house remixes like most of the DJ:s today (me included. yea, I'm a horrible person).

Second. The guy is freaking good. If you're not very informed in the area you probably just take music for granted and dont appreciate the hours/days/weeks/years of work it takes from you. But you do it because you love it, like all jobs aims to make you feel but rarely succeed. And Armin is one devoted guy. He's managed to broadcast over 400 radio shows. One per week. That's around 8 years and I wont even go into the hours behind those shows. I could probably write about this for another ten hour but what the hell. I have to have something to write for ya'll later.



Music tip of the day is amazingly not by Armin himself. Kinda hypoctit, yea? Do I care? No!

I came across this track when I recently started watching the TV-show "House". Great guy. It's the theme song and has alot of trance elements in it which of course triggered my music sense.

Enjoy.
