  • Discovering new music is always cool

    So I decided to be ambitious today. I went ahead and opened the itunes radio stations at work.I have gotten back in touch with genres that i have not listened to in a long time (8 years).

    My favorite stations:

    1. #1 Earthbound radio
      I love underground and indie hip hop. It was my passion before , is still my passion and is still my choice of music to spin as a DJ.I have been out of touch with the underground scene for a while, although i do keep up to date with it, I still feel there is more that I could be collecting. So I started listening to earthbound again, whenever a song I like comes on, I write the artist and title down. When this list gets long, I'll head out to my record stores and start digging again.

    2. # Cerritos All-stars Radio
      My homies are still keeping it strong on this station  ... 4 years strong! Another hip-hop station but mostly all DJs doing mix shows.
    3. Dubstep radio
      Holy shiznit! why havent I been introduced to Dubstep earlier? this stuff kicks anus.
    4. Progressive House Radio
      This is what I play when I get into that programming groove... nothing like having the matrix theme for visual studio and progressive techy house blasting through my headphones... It totally screams Nerd, but  not like that guy on Grandma's boy ... "I hate yer faceee"

    5. Indie Rock Radio
      Down tempo college rock. for those post lunch hangovers.

    My co-worker Kevin also introduced me to another interesting band called TalkDemonic, I havent heard all of their stuff yet but from what I heard, they are cool.

    I've also been getting in touch with my reggae roots again. I recently found a CD from my friend's old band "Nobody Cares".

    I haven't heard their stuff in a long time. I fell in love with the long beach reggae again =) it's been playing in the car.

    Discovering new and old music rocks. =)
