PvD : Reflections
While the people below me pound out soulless rap music, I turn up the volume to the musical epiphany occurring around me. Ani DiFranco - “Sorry I Am” is a fantastic track. I hadn’t sat down and listened to DiFranco before, and now I realize what I was missing. It’s almost like Howie Day meet Dashboard meets Jewel meets Mystery Ingredient X. Then there’s Paul van Dyk. I’ve liked him ever since I heard “Angel.” I tend to be a sucker for melodic club anthems, and this is one of that genre’s best. Would that songs like these took over the Sandstorms of our horrendous U.S. club offerings. If I could be somewhere, it would be the unreal dance parties of Ibiza (specifically, club Cream at Amnesia in Ibiza). Anywho, van Dyk’s newest album is called Reflections, and originally I hadn’t thought it was anything special.
I seem to have missed one track.
Said tune is called “Nothing But You” and is absolutely addicting. I can not wait to get it spinning on the system coming up here tomorrow. Note to self: get a remix of this track. That reminds me, I will try to get a gallery up of my current equipment, so you can see exactly what I am foaming at the mouth about.
I don’t have much to add from my personal life. Things are going along, there really is nothing of interest to point out. Although, one of these days it would be nice to get out of the eat/sleep/study daily grind. I suppose going to Romeo and Juliet this weekend counts, doesn’t it? The Guthrie usually puts on a splendid production. I’ll check in sometime this weekend.
