Dance with me...

I believe that di.fm is one of the greatest sites around these days that should be visited... mainly to download one of their channel stream files and let your body move, and ears rejoice! This is of course in reference to all those out there who juuust looove to danceeee! and who doesn't!?!? please tell me.... who doesn't feel a beat when a DJ is on the turntables ballin a SICK BEAT?! almost nobody can deny a good beat with good melodies and harmonies and all that good stuff. It's that much more better than a lot of the music these days since it's so uplifting and makes you smile all the same! This is all in relation to the "electronic" genre as some may call it... many people discriminate electronic as just one type of music... but in reality the electronic scene has so many infused types and should be considered genres by themselves. I'll point out a few distinct types...

• Trance :: It's sorta self-explanatory (puts one in a trance?), but usually consists of drawn out (mid length, not too long usually very well spaced out imo) melodies that relax your mind... very good for background music for doing something tedious or whatever fits the situation.
  
• Vocal Trance :: Almost the same as regular Trance but with vocals!!! yayyy! Usually mixed very well into the beat and general flow... sometimes in Japanese, but mostly in English.. one of my personal favorites (got me really into the techno/electronic scene).
  
• Progressive :: This one is a little different... it consists of fairly long beat repetitions, but it's a build up, hence the name, it may sound monotonous once you start, but if you're doing something on the side (that requires a fair amount of concentration) while listening it's one of the best since the beat sorta infuses itself into your mind then when the slow progression of added sounds here and there begins it creates a great, unique, sound that will make your body move. Also one of my personal favorites while i'm working and studying... for finals mainly.
  
• House :: If you like simple music this is prolly one of the channels for you... it reminds me of being in a club or some cafe... very good background music... not exactly like elevator music, but it's sorta just there when you listen to it. No real direction usually in the song, but it works.
  
• EuroDance :: This one is probably THE BEST to dance to. It's definitely meant for a dance club type environment. Very popular in Europe, as you couldn't tell from the name, and most of the artists originated from Europe. Includes Vocals that are amazingly well put together with beats... the vocals also are along the lines of today's popular pop songs (but with more a dance feel to them)! It's one of the best genres... and one of the best channels di.fm has to offer.
  
• HardDance :: Hard to explain this one... it's sorta like Eurodance... but less vocals, not as much change in beat (since there are no vocals), but there's a ton more energy (NRG) in terms of the electronic sounds that are presented... it's pretty good dance music i think. Though definitely selective to its audience since it's one of the faster types... with BPMs (beats/min) up near the 200s
• Hard Core :: VERY fast type aimed towards the Raver community. It might just make you go crazy...
  

So those are just a few of the channels di.fm offers. There are a buncha others that are good, and all their channels are distinct in their own way... check them out! The commercials are very rare while listening and even at that they advertise a premium service for di.fm along with some random website or something... but i really dont mind it... considering i'm listening to new refreshing music for FREE.




Today at the gym i tried out rowing. It's actually a little easier than i expected, but it's awesome! Works your back neck muscles like crazy (at least that's what i felt when i did it...) Though i already have decently strong back/shoulder muscles so maybe that's why it was easier than expected. I did 2000 meters of rowing... i was averaging 3:15 minutes per 500 meters... dunno how good that is oh well. I like feeling in shape... except after the gym i went to burger king for breakfast (i couldn't resist, it was just so convenient!).... least to say their breakfast things aren't too bad... but i mean what can you expect from the BK Lounge? nothing more then not too bad! lol

I watched Wanted on ninjavideo while eating my breakfast... decent movie i thought... they have the Dark Knight on ninja video already... in decent quality.... dang...

Yay I have 2 sales today! =D!!!

Thanks for reading,
