Having trained at LA's sacred "Lost Temple" with DJ MUGGS of the almighty Cypress Hill, DJ SOLO is a member of the LA based crew Soul Assassins… so you know he will bring the thunder.

Eyes on Fire - Zeds Dead - Decadence New Years Eve
Decadence NYE in Denver was put on by Triad Dragons who also put on Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks Amphitheater. So you had to know that the lineup was going to be killer in the EDM scene. And boy was that an understatement. Some of the honorable mentions are Wolfgang Gartner, who absolutely killed it with his progressive house beats, and even a few fun remixes thrown in there, even though he had one of the earlier set times, starting at 8:15. Also Paul Basic off of Pretty Lights Music threw down hard playing his signature track Daydream. But it was Flosstradamus who really stole the show, mixing rap songs with heavy heavy dub beats. Wearing a white hoodie, he seemed to glow from the stage as strobe lights flashed behind him. His set was so loud, everyone after that sounded a little soft, maybe its because my ear drums were shot, but boy was I surprised at how hard of a set he threw down.
Held at the Colorado Convention Center, there were two stages, the Global Dance Arena which was hosted by the Triad Dragons and the Global Dub Arena put on by Sub.Mission. The Dance stage was right as you walked in and wa underneath a huge chandelier which lit up with the music. The lineup consisted of Joman, Jontron, Wolfgang Gartner, Ecotek, Krewella, ATB, and Rudee. The Dub stage was in a different room, with a whole canopy of string lights that also changed with the music, with an epic lineup of Dodger, Supreme, Fury & MC Dino, Paul Basic, Flosstradamus, Mimosa, and Zeds Dead. Both stages had such great lineups, it was really hard to choose which artists to see, since many great people overlapped.
To ring in the new year, Krewella was playing in the Global Dance Arena and Mimosa was playing in the Global Dub Arena. Mimosa was throwing down his hardest tracks, mostly some new trap songs including a 2 Chains remix. But it was Krewella who absolutely stole the show. Playing underneath the glowing chandelier, the girls and Rainman brought a laser party to add to their heavy banger beats. Dropping all of their hit tracks, which lets be honest is ALL of their songs, they also threw down Knife Party and some remixes off their new Player Harder EP. It was so much fun as the countdown begun and midnight struck and balloons and confetti came falling on top of peoples heads.
After midnight, the show was far from over, there were still many acts to come. But the ones who threw down the hardest and started out 2013 right were Zeds Dead. They played everything from White Satin, to Bassmentality, to Coffee Break, to Unda Yuh Skirt, to everyone's favorite featuring Omar Linx, Out For Blood. Finishing off the night with Eyes on Fire and a remix of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze which was pretty epic. Zeds Dead always throws down super hard, it was so fun to see them really have fun with it and start the new year with all the best tracks.
It was such an amazing show, actually I wouldn't even call it a show as much as I would call it an experience. The whole night was magical, from the lights to the music, to the dancing, to the fans. Even though it didn't have a huge lineup like Lights All Night or BassLights, it was still a great show of EDM underdogs. It was a great way to dance your way into 2013.
Sympathy for the Devil - STS9 12/29/12
What better way to ring in the new year than with Soundtribe Sector 9. With a three night run, STS9 celebrated the new year at the Fillmore in Denver. With three nights of music, the band was able to spice up their regular setlist covering all bases of their discography, and spread it out with new and old additions.
The first night began with Breath In, setting the tone that the night was going to be a chill and funky start to the weekend. Next up, Monkey Music getting the crowd amped knowing tonight would be full of old jams. A few more goodies in the first set were Mobsters, Empires, Be Nice, We'll Meet In Our Dreams, and Tokyo. Ending the first set strong with Frequencies 2&3. We could not have asked for a better way to start the weekend and end the year. Keeping their Mayan temple styled LED lights up for display during the intermission, they kept the groovy beats playing while everyone could grab a fresh beer and get ready for the second set. Coming back they played Really Wut? Then Evasive Maneuvers into Kamuy into an amazing rendition of the Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil which got everyone singing along and cheering out their 'Woo Woos' at the chorus. They played a hard second set with F. Word, Grow, Moonsockets, and So It Goes, and ending with an encore of Somesing which turned full circle back into Breath In. Wow, what a strong first night, I knew that the second and third night would be progressively better.
Night two started out hard with MOD into Golden Gate, and they really got the crowd going when they played When The Dust Settles with some crazy looking LED background lights as well as a strong light show from Saxton. They finished out the first set with Blu Mood, Circus, Hidden Hand Hidden Fist, and Rent. Once again, the night was starting out great, and we knew that the second set could only bring more great tunes and cool visuals. Starting back strong with Metameme, then Beyond Right Now into a funky Scheme Reprise which got everyone jamming and grooving to the beat. Then they shocked everyone by playing some Daft Punk, Robot Rock which got the whole crowd bouncing and dancing like robots. Next up was Inspire Strikes Back, Shock Doctrine, Instantly, and What Is Love. They finished out their second night with an encore of Equinox.
The third and final night, New Years Eve was going to end the whole weekend with a bang, literally. The last night of their three night run as well as the last night of the year, you know they were going to show the crowd an awesome time. Starting off with Musical Story Yes into my personal favorite as well as a theme song for the year 20-12 the momentum of the evening was only just starting. Next up was Arigato, Scheme, Grizzly, Vapors, Simulator, and ending the first set with ABCees. The second set was gearing up to be strong as it would ring in the new year with over three thousand fans. Coming back with a new song called End Titles, then a Jamiroquai song Revolution into the countdown with Kool and the Gang's Celebration to celebrate the new year. Next up was Kaya into a song inspired by the Bloody Beetroots into The Unquestionable Supremacy of Nature, then GLOgli, and ending the set with Looking Back on Earth, EHM, and March. And coming back with an encore to end the whole weekend and begin a new year with T.W.E.L.V.E. (which was the theme of the weekend) and finally Wika Chikana.
Soundtribe never ceases to amaze me. Every time I see them live their shows are better than the last. Their setlist is always changing, and yet they can always gain the support of the audience no matter what they play. I think its because every single one of their songs is a great one. Its hard to find a band like that, who never plays a track you don't like, because they only have epic tracks. At the end of each night, the crowd was ecstatic and full of love. What a way to spend my New Years, I hope that 2013 will bring me as much joy and happiness as 2012 did. Thank you STS9!!
SAVOY - Senator (Die Antwoord) / I'm In Need @ North Coast 2012
North Coast Music Festival…..Summer's Last Stand. It is my favorite way to end my summer with music. Even though it is at a smaller venue that Lollapalooza, this festival really kicks a hard punch. With huge names such as Soundtribe Sector 9, Umphrey's McGee, Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, Knife Party, Big Boi, and Steve Aoki, to name a few, this festival throws down hard. Packed into Union Park on the west side, five stages bring out the best artists and performers. Even though I wish I could have seen every single show, I did have to make a few tough decisions, but here are some of the highlights of the weekend.
Midnight Conspiracy
Midnight Conspiracy brings a new factor to dubstep. Although they did not play within their LED Eye, they still had an amazing LED show going on behind them. They threw down the heavy beats, a great way to start off the first day of the festival with some hard core dancing. They even closed out their set with a soothing electronic remix of The Beatles' Eleanor Rigby that showed off their talents of bringing together different genres to create a massive banger set.
Made up of the two percussionists of The String Cheese Incident, these two really know how to put on a show. Creating different loops and beats, they create an awesome dance party for anyone in attendance. Although they did not play within their specialty lotus flower, they still put on a great show with cool LED panels behind them. The original type of music that they create is so unique, it is quite amazing to even think that these two are in a jam band such as Cheese, it almost doesn't make any sense. But nevertheless, their music is awesome and their stage presence is so much fun.
Knife Party
Made up of two members of Pendulum from Australia, these two really know how to throw down the heavy banger beats. Beginning their set with Rage Valley, they started off hard getting the crowd super charged for their epic set. Covering a few songs and adding their own dubstep twists to Swedish House Mafia's Save The World and Antidote, a song they do together with SHM. And playing everyone's favorites such as Bonfire, Centipede, Internet Friends, which their added a little twist to the now famous beat drop "You blocked me on Facebook, now we're going to get Fucked Up", and finishing their set with Destroy Them With Lasers. The whole show was absolutely insane, the crowd was jumping up and down, mosh pits were forming, and some people even had centipedes raised up on poles dancing to the heavy beats.
Soundtribe Sector 9
STS9 started their set off with their intro to the Great Cycle Spectacles. An alien sounding voice addresses the crowd talking about peace and understanding between our earth and space. The visuals resemble a Mayan pyramid and it lights up in different colors. The first song is a Mayan inspired song about the end of the world called 20-12, turning right into one of their newer songs When The Dust Settles right into Arigato. They also played crowd favorites such as Hidden Hand Hidden Fist, Scheme, Vapors, and a new song Awesome which features beats from The Bloody Beatroots. They finished up their set with The Unquestionable Supremacy of Nature, bringing an awesome close to the first night of North Coast.
Excision leads the way in drum and bass dubstep. He throws down his own original beats as well as remixes of a few awesome tracks. One of the highlights of his show was a remix of Jibbs' Chain Hang Low. Everyone knows this track since it is to the same tune as the classic children's song Do You Ears Hang Low, except obviously this song is about a chain…. "Do your chain hang low, do it wobble to da flo, does it shine in the light, is it platinum is it gold…"
Originating from Minnesota, Atmosphere brings his own midwest hip hop vibe to the festival. His chill rhymes brings joy to all listening, and he brought out some really fun new beats that got everyone bouncing. Even though there was not too much hip hop at this festival, Atmosphere really held his own and put on an awesome show playing all of his best songs off of his albums When Life Gives You Lemons, God Loves Ugly, and others.
The Rapture
This indie-rock band from NYC mixes many genres into their shows. In fact their encore was a rockified remix of Sisqo's The Thong Song.At first I didn't even realize what song was playing, because they gave it a completely new sound, but once I started listening to the lyrics I realized that they were in fact bringing it back old school style with a goofy 90s classic. "Let me see that thooooong, baby, that thong th-thong thong thong"
Umphrey's McGee
This progressive rock jam band from Chicago never ceases to wow the crowd with their interesting blend of rock-n-roll, funk, blues, metal and a little electronica. Playing favorites such as Ocean Billy and Miami Virtue, these guys really rocked the crowd hard as they ended the second night of the festival. They even came out with an encore mixing Puppet String with The Who's Eminence Front. What an amazing performance.
DJ Solo
Hailing from Buffalo Grove, IL, DJ Solo really knows how to throw down a hard and fun show. Remixing every great song as well as creating his own original beats, Solo drew in a huge crowd at the smaller Dos Equis stage. He even dropped a new song that he did with Umphrey's McGee, adding a little rock-n-roll to his heavy dubstep beats.
Coming from Colorado, these two producers know how to drop the heavy beats. Just releasing an EP called Supertrail, which is available for free download on their website savoyband.com, this electronic duo premiered all their new songs in Chicago. A few of their new tracks feature Heather Bright including So Bad, More, and We Are The Sun. And the surprised the crowd by mixing in South African rap duo Die Antwoord's song Fok Julle Naaiers with their new track Senator. Of course they also played the usual favorites such as Dev's Dancing In The Dark, Lil Wayne's Dirty Dancer, and their original track I'm In Need.
Big Boi
Bringing the dirty south to the midwest, Big Boi rocked the stage. Playing all of his hit songs, as well as everyone's favorite Outkast songs, he got everyone in the crowd dancing. ATLiens, Sorry Ms. Jackson, I Like The Way You Move, Bombs Over Baghdad, were only a few of the great hits that he shared with the crowd. His crew on stage was dancing just as hard as the fans, and he put on an amazing performance. Even though North Coast seems to be run by electronic and rock bands, Big Boi held his own bringing the rap flavor to the festival. And he did an amazing job of hyping everyone up before Pretty Lights ended the festival.
Pretty Lights
There could not have been a better way to end the weekend. Colorado Native, Derek Vincent Smith brought down the house with his set Sunday night. Starting off with the Rustified remix of Hot Like Sauce, dropping old tracks such as Sunday School, The Time Has Come, Up And Down I Go, and everyone's favorite Finally Moving, as well as newer songs like You Get High, We Must Go On, and a remix of the Chicago Bulls Intro getting all of the Chicagoans bouncing along to the beat. He ended his set with the heaviest banger, I Know The Truth.
All in all it was a pretty epic weekend full music, light shows, dancing, and LOTS of totems and flags waving around in the crowd. Everyone who played threw down some pretty amazing sets with fun surprises, funky covers, and old favorites. North Coast has drastically grown since its first year and I can't wait to see what it has in store for next year. But until then, all we can do is reminisce and watch videos from the experience. Until next year, North Coast, you successfully blew my mind!

Midnight Conspiracy, Nit Grit, AbdeCaf, Manic Focus @ HOB
This dubstep duo has quite a stage presence. They perform inside of an eye which is inside of a LED pyramid, and as they perform an intense laser show ensues. It is quite a spectacle that you don't want to miss. You have to see these guys at least once, their laser show is equal to (if not better than) Ghostland Observatory or Savoy.
Dan Deacon, DJ La Jesus @ Cobra Lounge
Dan Deacon is an american electronic composer. He is most well known for his live shows where he plays on level with the audience and allows them to dance all around him. It is a very interactive experience. You may have heard his name before from Liam Lynch's youtube viral video 'Drinking Out of Cups', which is a very strange video of someones recorded voice (who sounds like they are on an acid trip) coming out of a digital lizard. If you haven't seen it, check it out, it is quite interesting. But Deacon's show is guaranteed to be a fun dance party.
Felix Da Housecat, Zebo, Porn N Chicken @ Bottom Lounge
Felix Da Housecat hails from our hometown of Chicago. He is an electroclash house DJ. He has been around since the 90s creating fresh beats, even remixing some great songs by Passion Pit, Britney Spears, The Chemical Brothers, Madonna, and my personal favorite Nina Simone's Sinnerman.
Doctor P, Eoto, Lobounce @ Congress
Doctor P is an English dubstep producer who has recorded with and toured alongside Flux Pavilion. He brings in some heavy bass and you wont be disappointed by his jams. Lobounce calls his style of music 'drippy bass', as it is a combination of hip-hop, funk, and electronic. His unique flair puts an original twist on EDM, and yet his beats still drive everyone to dance and dance hard. And finally Eoto, consisting of the two drummers from The String Cheese Incident, these two use looping to create a new sound in dubstep. These guys bring a whole new fresh set of eyes to the dubstep industry and create some amazing sounds with a little influence from the jam band scene. You would never believe these guys are from SCI with their new brand of dubstep, but you will love it no matter what.
STS9, Future Rock @ HOB
STS9 always puts on an amazing show. Hailing from Georgia, these psychedelic rockers bring some essence of the Mayan end of the world into their groovy jams. Combining their instruments with a little help from laptop technology, these guys can create some amazing sounds and put out amazing vibes. And with Chicago natives Future Rock opening for these guys you are guaranteed to have a blast. Future Rock is a trio of bass guitar, synthesizer, and drums, and these guys really kill it. This whole night will be a fun experience of rock plus new technology to create a whole new genre, which I guess we can just call future rock. Don't miss this one!!
Grizmatik (Gramatik & Griz), The M Machine, Paul Basic @ HOB
Dubstep producers Griz and Gramatik have joined together to create Grizmatik. These two combine their heavy dub jams together to create a whole new musical genius. The two vibe off of each other to create brand new heavy beats that everyone can dance to. Also joining them is The M Machine off of Skrillex's label OWSLA, a electronic duo from San Francisco who perform on top of a giant LED 'M' which is synced to the music. And Paul Basic hailing from Colorado is on Pretty Lights Music Label, so you know that his beats have to be fresh and hard hitting. This will be a great dance party with some awesome up and coming talent from the EDM industry.
Rebirth Brass Band, Dumpstaphunk @ Bottom Lounge
Hailing from New Orleans, this group, which looks a little like a school marching band, combines traditional New Orleans brass band music with funk, jazz, soul, and hip hop. Dumpstaphunk is another New Orleans group creating some modern southern funk. Consisting of the sons of one of the Neville Brothers, these guys were born with talent and it really shows through in their music.
Umphrey's McGee @ Congress
Who can't resist the smooth jams and heavy rock from Chicago natives Umphrey's McGee. These guys know how to throw on an epic show, covering a few key songs as well as playing all the crowd's favorites. Although considered part of the jam band scene, these guys are more like progressive improvisation, or as they call it 'improg', they draw their influences from bands like Pink Floyd and Genesis, as well as a little heavy metal influence like Iron Maiden and a little Led Zeppelin. These guys can start with a smooth jam and evolve into some heavy rock. These guys are a must-see, they're shows are always full of energy and fun. If you didn't get enough of them on Saturday night, make sure you get tickets to their after show Sunday.
Steve Angello @ The Mid

Lollapalooza 2012 preview
Lollapalooza is only one week away! Chicago's best festival of the summer has finally arrived. Perry Ferrel from Jane's Addiction brings this awesome festival to Chicago the first weekend of August each summer. It has been around since 1991, with a brief hiatus in 2004, but returned to Chicago in 2005 and has been growing strong ever since. Bringing in the biggest names in music, some past performers have been legends such as Daft Punk, Kanye West, Radiohead, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine, Jane's Addiction, Muse, Snoop Dogg, Deadmau5, Pretty Lights, and many many more.
Since it is such a huge festival, spanning a mile through Grant Park along the lakefront, and with around 100 bands performing, it can be a little overwhelming. But here are a few artists that you should definitely check out during the three days of music.
Friday's headliners are Black Sabbath, Wale,Bassnectar, and The Black Keys. Depending on what kind of music you are into, these four headliners can fill every niche. If you are into garage rock, The Black Keys, a duo from Ohio, are the best bet for you. These guys have been rocking out since 2001 and are a really fun show. If you are more into heavy metal, definitely go check out Black Sabbath. These legends have been around since 1969 with Ozzy Osbourne as their lead singer. These guys are sure to put on an amazing show, perhaps with some pyrotechnics. If you are more into the rap scene, then Wale is your man. With lots of hot collaborations with artists on the radio, you will be sure to recognize his songs. And if you are more on the EDM (electric dance music) scene then Bassnectar will absolutely blow your mind. Leading the scene in heavy heavy bass, he remixes some of your favorite songs as well as drops his own creations. He will have you dancing from start to finish with out a single break, so bring your dancing shoes.
Looking for some other great EDM acts? Hang out at Perry's stage all day and you wont regret it. Zedd, electric house producer from Germany, throws down the hardest beats. He even remixes Skrillex and the Doors' collaboration Breaking A Sweat, and I don't know how he did it, but made the song even heavier than Skrillex's version. This 22 year old really knows how to throw down. Madeon, and electropop producer from France knows how to create the perfect mash-up. He is mostly known from his youtube video for Pop Culture which mixed in 30 different songs to create an amazingly catchy pop masterpiece. Porter Robinson, American electro house producer, signed to Skrillex's label OWSLA, rocks the house with his deep bass and fun dance tracks. Nero, one of the biggest names in the electronic music genre, the duo from England has collaborated with artists such as Skrillex, Calvin Harris, Deadmau5, and more. You can even hear their song Feel So Close in a bunch of different commercials. Another hot performer who will get you on your feet with her catchy beats and melodic voice is Dev. 23 year old California native Dev has been featured in Far East Movement's single Like a G6, and dropped her own top singles Bass Down Low and In the Dark all about dancing to some groovy bass beats. Passion Pit, an electropop band hailing from Massachusetts, most known for their song Sleepy Head. This will be a more relaxed show than what you would find at Perry's, but it will still be fun to dance to. Now if you want to have a really fun time, and get your laughs out, check out Die Antwoord. Coming all the way from South Africa, this rap-rave duo,Ninja and Yo-Landi, bring their strange looks and fast rhymes to the stage with confidence. You will be shocked by how fast Ninja can rap and by the soothing yet creepy voice of Yo-Landi. These two are absolutely crazy but genius at the same time.
Perry's lineup on Saturday is a bit more mixed genre-wise than Friday. Paper Diamond, a Colorado producer brings catchy cool vocals with heavy beats to the stage and puts on an amazing performance and nobody can help but dance to. Next up on the schedule is southern rapper B.O.B. His debut single Airplanes was a top hit on the radio, and he has even recorded with rap legends such as Lil Wayne. Then Perry's comes back to the dubstep scene with the originators of dubstep, London producers Skream & Benga. Moving away from dubstep, and towards electro house, next up on the bill is Calvin Harris. Scottish DJ, singer, and producer, you will absolutely have a blast at his show, especially if he plays his hit single Feel So Close. Santigoldends the night at Perry's. This singer plays soothing songs with funky beats as well as some collaborations with rap legends such as Jay-Z. If you get tired from all of the dancing and want to go to a chill show, check out The Temper Trap. Coming all the way from Australia, these guys know how to jam with smooth vocals and great guitar. Their his single Sweet Disposition is so beautiful and melodic, you can even hear it in a few American commercials. If you want to kick it a little bit old school, or at least go back to the early 2000s, check out Franz Ferdinand, I think we all remember their catchy single Take Me Out. The two big headliners of the night are rock legends Red Hot Chili Peppers and up and coming 22 year old producer from Sweden Avicii will close out the night with a bang. So whether you want to rock out the RHCP and Anthony Kiedis groovy singing and Flea's epic baselines, or dance the night away with one of the top DJs in the world, the choice is up to you.
Sunday is the perfect schedule to kind of settle down the weekend but still rock out hard. If you like bluegrass, Trampled By Turtles are amazing. Combining the twangy tunes of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle, these guys will bring out your inner crunch and you wont be able to contain your excitement. If you want to stay on the chill kick, check out Sigor Ros. Hailing all the way from Iceland, this rock band kicks on the chill grooves and soulful sounds that you wont be able to resist.

«click on the photo to listen to the EP»
Last month Michal Menert and Break Science came to the Belly Up in Aspen. I went to the show with all my friends expecting nothing but epicness. After just releasing a song together called 'Electric Touch', I knew this combination was going to lead to a fun night.
After the show Michal came out to greet all his fans. My good friend Light Geist Photography was cool enough to snap the picture above of me and MM. Make sure you check him out as well as more pictures from the show here.
SAVOY @ Red Rocks Recap + 2013 Tour Announce
After attending personal record number of shows at Red Rocks this summer (7), I couldn't let the summer end when I saw that Savoy & Krewella (and Lotus & Eoto) were playing the first weekend of September. I knew that this was going to be the show of the summer, and I was right.
We got into Red Rocks just in time to see Robotic Pirate Monkey. They killed it after just releasing their newest EP 'Heat.wav'. Next up were the girls I was waiting for, I had never seen Krewella, I missed them when they played at Global Dance Festival at Red Rocks earlier in the summer. These girls know how to bring it HARD! Twin Sisters: Yasmine and Jahan and Rainman make up this trio, and all three of them combine to create some of the sickets beats and heaviest drops as well as cool vocals that make you wanna dance, and dance HARD. Next up was Sofi who has recorded and toured with Deadmau5, she had some awesome sexy dance moves as she sang her heart out.
FInally it was time for the lazer show. SAVOY came out with old favorites as well as tracks off their new EP 'Supertrail', which became instant hits with the crowd. My personal favorite new track was 'Senator' which they mixed with 'Fok Julle Naaiers' by South African duo Die Antwoord. The beats mashed up so well and it was so crazy to hear a sick song you would never expect to hear from Savoy. But the real star of the show was Heather Bright who came out and sang her new songs with Savoy that are on the new EP: 'More' and 'So Bad', as well 'We Are The Sun' which was released earlier in the year. Her skin tight outfit, purple hair, and mesmerizing dance moves awed the crowd, and when she came out behind a curtain for the finale her shadow was absolutely magical. It was such a spectacular show!
Be sure to check out where SAVOY will be on their Live with Lasers tour!! It is a show that you SHOULD NOT MISS! These guys are so amazing to see live, it is a nonstop party that will blow your mind.

Grizmatik - Digital Liberation Is Mad Freedom #DLIMF
I recently had the pleasure of seeing GRIZMATIK live at the House of Blues in Chicago after just rocking out to Pretty Lights to sum up the North Coast Music Festival. And after a show full of lazers and lights I couldn't believe that two smaller named DJs coming together could overshadow the previous show. But boy was I wrong. The tickets I had purchased were for the balcony, the House of Blues has two levels of balconies: one is directly above the dance floor, the other is another level above that.
The first balcony was pretty packed and we couldn't find a spot to see the stage, so I decided to venture upstairs and check out the top balcony. While walking to the back stairs I noticed a very tall guy sitting on a chair in the corner. Looking a little drunk and a little tired, he lifted his head as I walked by. I realized it was DVS! Derek Vincent Smith, Pretty Lights himself. It was pretty sweet, hadn't I just come from his show at NCMF? I was stunned, I realized I had stopped walked and was staring. Wearing my Nuggets Carmello jersey and my Colorado Project Grassroots hat I walked up to him and give him a handshake-fist-pound combo that just made sense and told him that show was fucking fantastic.

Toy sailors battle the seas of Central Park
NEW YORK (AFP) - Sniffing the wind, the hardened racing sailors eye their rivals. That the water's waist deep and the boats are toys does nothing to lower the intensity at this century-old sailing club in New York's Central Park.
The CPMYC - that's the Central Park Model Yacht Club - makes a big thing from miniature voyages.
Every Saturday for as long as anyone can remember members have shown up at the Conservatory Water to pit their wits against each other in the baffling winds swirling through the park's trees.
"This is a very pure form of sailing," said Mr Jon Elmaleh, a wiry 52-year-old, who with his chin stubble, mountaineer-style sunglasses and polo shirt, looked as if he might already be halfway across the Atlantic.

Gonna give it a try tonite. Thanks for all your help! I get pretty obsessive with this audio stuff and its nice to get input from those in the know so quickly.
The only way it would work properly with the 591 is using the "Multi CH stereo" mode in which a stereo signal is split to all L/R speakers. |
The 891 does not have Zone 2 pre-outs, however, the DVR Out would allow you to send the same audio in the main zone to the 2nd receiver (with source also connected by an analog cable to the 891). |
That sounds like it'll work. I'd only be sending CD audio to the 2nd receiver that would be played in both rooms at the same time. I assume the "SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT" Pre Out connection is meant to expand the speaker setup from 5.1 to 7.1. Would using it instead for this unintended purpose cause any issues with audio in the main room? (i.e. will the 591 then think it's a 7.1 setup in the room instead of the actual 5.1 and incorrectly distribute the audio when watching a Blu-Ray or other HD audio source?).
On the 891, does the DVR Out only pass through what's connected to the analog DVR In? Or will it pass thru any analog audio source currently being played? It sounds like if I went with the 591 instead, I'd be able to pass thru audio from digital (HDMI/optical/coaxial) sources as well to the 2nd receiver.

Thanks to the low profile of its compact Rotax motors and the inline profile of jet drives, Sea-Doo doesn't have to sacrifice space to a bulky engine enclosure.

It boasts exactly the sort of things you would expect from an up-market brand. What is less expected is this boat's running performance.

The Epic 23V was developed from the ground up. Dubbed "The World's First Wake Boat," the 23V was designed to meet the demands of wakeboarders, waterskaters and wakesurfers alike.
Not often does a manufacturer replace its top-selling boat with a new model, but with the introduction of the Sunsation 225, Premier has done just that for 2008.

Woot Trident RAMPros: This RAM has lasted entire time I have owned system 9/9/2009. Runs at 1866 with no issues at all. I never felt the need to increase to 2000. One of best RAM experiences I have and now point people to G.SKILL. Cons: No way No how. Did you find this review helpful? |
worth every pennyPros: runs at spec 9-9-9-24-74-1T at +350 vtt 1.6 vdimm on a evga classified 760 motherboard. I am able to reach higher Gflops then I did with previous brand and run at 2100Mhz speeds with a i7 930 at 4.0-4.4GHz Cons: didn't come with the g.skill ram fan, but the ram stays cool Other Thoughts: just going from another brand @1600Mhz to this at 2100Mhz increased my 3D vantage mark by 3,000 points in performance mode. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice performance - but couldn't get 2000 though.Pros: I was able to get 1904Mhz out of these, but couldn't get much higher. Cons: Even with DIMM Voltage at 1.64v and QPI/PLL voltage up to 1.45V I had no luck at 2000Mhz, 1904Mhz was the fastest I found stable. Someone suggested 1.65 QPI voltage, but that deeply into the red on my motherboard and I'm not willing to push things until they blow up. Other Thoughts: Seems like a good cooling solution, they keep reasonably cool, however, the tall coolers were a problem with my CPU cooler's fan, which I had to shave down to make it fit. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Runs great at 1066mhzPros: No errors. Runs very smoothly just at 1066mhz on my P6X58D-E mobo with i7 930. I definitely Rec. this product! Cons: I tried XMP once so far since I was pleased with specs of it "underclocked" but it wouldnt boot. Other Thoughts: I was under the impression that with XMP set it would overclock the cpu too. Did you find this review helpful? |
Runs up to specs and a little overPros: runs at listed specs: 2000MHz 9-9-9-24 Cons: The fins might stick up too high for some peoples CPU coolers. Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent productPros: This RAM is fast and versatile. It works with XMP at 9-9-9-24 @ 2000 mhz, as described. I run it at 7-7-7-20 @ 1531 mhz with my i930 overclocked to 4.01 ghz on my ASUS P6X58D-E mobo without any problems whatsoever. Cons: I guess all RAM that has a tall heatsink can be a problem if you want to use certain high-end aircoolers and you also want to fill up the RAM slot closest to your CPU. Not a problem if you don't need to use the first slot. (My mobo uses the 2, 4, 6th slots so I can use a big air cooler like the Corsair A70). Other Thoughts: My system: Did you find this review helpful? |
Works as AdvertisedPros: Excellent Ram, works as advertised. 9-9-9-24 @ 2002MHz on a X58A-UD3R w/ i7 930. Cons: I wish "Turbulence" came with it Other Thoughts: Some people have issues reaching the advertised speeds. I was doubtful at first, but nonetheless it worked in the end. G.Skill's support site has a list of 8 voltages to set, (QPI) etc. - That might work for some, not for me. (I really wish it would!) However, it was more simple in the end for me, anyway. Did you find this review helpful? |
FAST!Pros: FAST RAM! i have mine running at 2.4 ghz with minimal overvolting and no heat issues. Cons: Heat spreaders may interfere with lower cpu coolers. Did you find this review helpful? |
This ram is SICKPros: Cheap ram that performs as well as Corsair Domintor GTs and high end Kingston hyper Xs Cons: NONE whatsoever Other Thoughts: BUY IT 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: FAST FAST FAST! COLD and did i mention fast! Great product well worth the extra money. You buy ram once. Get the good stuff! Cons: You get what you pay for. Piggy bank is feeling empty Did you find this review helpful? |

Artwalk Crowds Stampede Sasquatch
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 9th, 2009
An incredible turnout of over 300 people celebrated the Grand Opening of The Green Hand Bookshop and the International Cryptozoology Museum, two new businesses at 661 Congress Street, on Friday, November 6, 2009. Festivities included a ribbon cutting hosted by State of Maine Representative Herb Adams, donated refreshments from Jeff Meuse of Ricetta's, Caleb's shortbreads, speeches, appreciation awards, and State of Maine legislative proclamations congratulating the new proprietors. Free admission and tours of the museum were conducted, as is tradition during the first Friday of every month in Portland, Maine's Arts District.
The famous Crookston (Minnesota) Bigfoot then posed patiently for photographs with the First Friday Artwalk patrons all evening. Special guest, retired California Bigfoot investigator Jim McClarin answered questions from visitors.
Above, cryptozoologist/author Loren Coleman and The Green Hand Bookshop owner Michelle Souliere prepare to cut the Grand Opening ribbon, while Master of Ceremonies State Rep. Herb Adams counts down the moment. Photo by Jessica Meuse.
The ribbon cutting was captured also by photographer Rob Carignan.
Below, Bigfoot graces the area near the front window at 661 Congress Street, during the Grand Opening. And crowds trek through the bookshop and museum non-stop from 5 pm to 9 pm. Photos by Jessica Meuse.
Guests of Honor Jim McClarin and Rep. Herb Adams discuss the finer points of the State of Maine Proclamation for the museum, which is seen below. Michelle Souliere of The Green Hand Bookshop also received one (not pictured). Photos by Jessica Meuse.
Rep. Herb Adams, soon after receiving his ICM Lifetime Membership and Appreciation Award (partially donated by Ray Messier of Creative Awards), began joking that he and other honorees were already working on secret handshakes and passwords.
Some of the Grand Opening signage, posters, supplies, brochures, rugs, and more were donated by Tom Burke, X-Press Copy, Staples, Libbet Cone, Missi Labbe, Sarah McCann and the Meuses.

My name is Carol and I have recently returned to Dooyoo after taking a year off (this was required due to lack of time, taken up with running round after my young son). I also write reviews on Ciao under the name 'matthewsmum'.
I am a legal secretary, though currently taking an extended break from work to be a full time mum to Matthew, my 4 year old son. Hoping to start back at work later on this year once my little man is in full time education. I live in North Wales with my husband and 2 black labradors, together with loads of tropical fish.
I tend to write reviews on anything and everything, especially things which have made a particular impression on me, whether good or bad. I try to return reads and ratings, and if there is a review that you would like me to rate but which I have missed, please shout out and I will happily oblige. I never revenge rate and I don't expect anyone to revenge rate my reviews. If you think I have done a rubbish job, then I will accept that, but please only rate one of my reviews down if you genuinely think it could have been better. I don't take offence or bear grudges! I will always nominite reviews for a crown if I think they have been particulary useful and well written.
Finally, thank you in advance to all who read and rate my reviews, and hope that at least some people will benefit from reading them.

- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 5 scallions, light green parts only, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (10-ounce) package white button mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
- Coarse salt
- All-purpose flour, for baking sheet
- 2 (12-ounce) packages round dumpling or gyoza skins
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Dipping Sauce (http://www.marthastewart.com/258077/dipping-sauce)
- In a large bowl, mix together turkey, lettuce, soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, scallions, eggs, and mushrooms until well combined. Season with salt.
- Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Place about 1 teaspoon filling in the center of a dumpling skin. Use your finger or a pastry brush to moisten edge of dumpling skin with water. Fold skin over filling to form a half-moon shape. Press edges to seal. Place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and dumpling skins. (At this point, dumplings may be frozen. To freeze, place dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze until frozen. Transfer dumplings to a resealable plastic bag and keep frozen up to 3 months.)
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add dumplings and cook for 30 seconds. Add 1/4 cup water to skillet and cover. Cook until turkey is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes (12 to 15 minutes if frozen). Serve immediately with Dipping Sauce.
