Sortof did some digging last night trying to figure out how the heck to get my old rave directory to scrobble right, as I had no idea what to put in the "artist" tag, and only had a vague clue on some of the filenames (along with a cryptic letter-number combination on most of the tracks). Well, after trying a bunch of stuff, eventually decided to try the old webpage, and to my surprise, it was alive again! Sortof makes me happy, was sad when I tried to listen one day and both that radio stream and Sick Onion had dropped off the internet. Anyways, after clicking on some of those links, discovered that practically all the songs off that station are from a couple of guys who call themselves "DJ Sharpnel". (Am very glad I set off to learn Japanese a few years ago, it makes me happy to not be in the "I wonder what the heck all this gibberish means" stage anymore :) ) Anyways, not the sort of music for everyone, I loaned a cd with some of their tracks on it to a friend I know who loves techno, and he gave it back with a "what the *bleap* kind of crap did you give me to listen to" sort of feedback. Ah, very jarring, very driving, lots of samples and melodies from anime and videogames and such...but some awesome and some really really pretty spots. But when I get into the mood for this type of music I usually listen to it all night long...really gets my adrenaline and happy neurotransmiters kicking in!! :)

Also, discovered another duo named Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo after my discovery, and have really been getting into them tonight. They have a couple of songs that are a little out there, but some awesomely pretty songs as well. Think they popped up on speedcore tag radio station, which is mostly very similar music. Another couple tag stations I've been listening to at obvious times are sleep and sleeping, both have very pretty, very mellow and soft songs. (Right now none of the radio streams are working for me at all, hopefully they will again soon).

Am in a pretty good mood. I get my first day off tomarrow after closing several days at my new job, which is going pretty darn good. Met some cool people, kinda a blast in the past..the type of job and what I'm doing. Is a lot more busy than my last job! I forgot how fast time blows by when you get a new job, I guess cause I have a lot to learn and am concentrating to figure out the right way to do stuff.

Also I'm pretty broke right now, so finally laying off the whiskey and cheap 3 point beer :) It feels really weird, but I know I think a lot faster when I've been sober for a few days, things just seem to go a lot smoother.
