i love you.exe

Unfortunately, online petitions rarely, if ever, work. if you want to make a difference, pass around pen & paper petitions.

I care to use crayons, if you will...

I signed it, what the hey. I'm number 160.

Fuck it, no one cared to save beat radio here in minnesota, so why should I try and help other people out...

[insert more backward loigc here]

because if everyone thought like that then there would probably be no dance radio anywhere :winamp:

I fail to see what's wrong with that

Agreed.

I liked energy 92.7/5 they played a little too much cheesy stuff though.

Why'd they go off the air? and how will a petition get them back?

that's a very good reason not to sign !!!!!
worst music they ever made , always the same stupid beat

You'd be suprised how many pop/rock/rap/country/whatever songs use a 4/4 beat :p

Online Petition = Useless

Better way to spend your time= killing the FCC and other companies monopoly on radio waves.

Good luck with either of them...

AND - - I want to personaly say I hate you with a vengeful passion if you ever think all dance music is the same. I'd explain, but I don't really care enough to educate any of you right now, especially when you probably won't even listen/care.

Certainly all dance music is not the same, not even close.

Try here if you are interested.

4/4 is a time signature not a beat. 99% of all music ever is on 4/4 time.

And the thing about dance is that it's always a C-kick keeping the beat, and it's always the same tempo.

that statement shows that you haven't thouroughly explored the electronic dance music genre(s)

I cant find a reason to, I don't dance.
[edit] but everything I have come acrossed is really annoying.

I don't dance either and it's the only music I listen to, heh.

then give me some examples of dance thats not total shite. I like expanding my musical tastes.

(and you do conceed that the average person does run into good dance music unless they look for it correct?)
I usually consider the good electronic music
I here "techno", or industrial.

some dance/electronic groups/artists I consider good:
BT
Faithless
Shpongle
Paul van Dyk
Hybrid
Way Out West

what do you mean when you say "techno" are you referring to those popular groups from the early ninties, like snap and 2 unlimited? or are you talking about banging, soulless, mechanized, detroit techno?

ATB, 4 Strings, and The Love Vigilantes are good too.

Techno sucks. Trance Rocks.

Infected Mushroom
Void
Raja Ram (Shpongle)
Space Tribe
Leftfield
California Sunshine
Astralasia
Royskpp
Digital Trybe
Deep Forest
K.L.F.


meh the list is endless...

And most lsted have very different tempos ranging from 110bpm to 150bpm....

Heres a good resrc
Psynews

edit: nearly forgot G.M.S. Fooking Awesome!! My mate mark (DJ Tantra/Peacefrog) has just worked with em - can't wait for the new cd..:up: :)

THAT'S THE SITE!

I have been looking for that site for sooooo long! I looked through the whole thing once, but then I lost the url. That is one of the best resources for showing the evoloution/differences in electronica music.

and quite funny as well :D

Why don't more genres define themselves by BPM? I've discovered that I have a special love for fast music, but you can't just walk into a music store (or go online or whatever you do) and ask for "some fast music"...

Wish you could though. It'd make ME a lot happier.

for electronica, fast is generally called hard or hardcore, AKA Happy Hardcore = really fast crazy ritalin music

Energy 92.7 moved to Phoenix, and for one am quite happy to keep it here. :D
