I saw Mac Miller back in 2011 or 2012, that was a great concert.

Yeah he was very talented - had great energy. RIP

yeah he pulled out a guitar out of nowhere and shredded, it was really cool. RIP indeed. Last year I took the train to Pittsburgh (do not recommend, it's a nice ride but long and the Capitol Limited is always super delayed) and went to some of the Mac Miller locations like Blue Slide Park, Fifth Avenue, etc.

Good suggestions so far, but it's time someone brought some of the classics into the conversation. 

I was at Boy Scout summer camp at Lake Cachuma (sp?) in California. One of my friends brought his Discman (yes, I said a Discman) and was raving about some new music they had found. Our tents were next to each other so I had to put up with his yakking for 3 days before I finally said, "alright fine, let me listen". The album was Timepieces, track #5. I heard that first lick and it was like electricity going through my ears. I begged my parents for a guitar for a solid year after listening to this. But not just any guitar, it had to be a Fender Stratocaster, black of course, just like his. If you listen to this and don't feel anything then check your dick 'cause you might not be alive. 

 

To the few of you I saw rocking banker bags/swag on the flights to and from WWWY last weekend, glad to see the “emo kid to junior banker” masochistic pipeline holding strong

2020 Update: recounting my experiences in PE and sharing thoughts on recent deals at https://leverup.substack.com
 

Some of my favorite jams. Let's see how many you guys know:

Cameo - "Word Up" and "Candy"

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five -- "White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)"

Duran Duran - pretty much anything off the first two albums (Duran Duran, Rio) and also "The Reflex"

Noel - "Silent Morning"

Samantha Fox - "I Wanna Have Some Fun"

Aldo Nova - "Fantasy"

Freeez - "I.O.U."

Newcleus - "Jam On It"

Special shoutout to Joe Lynn Turner (former lead singer of Rainbow) for his 1985 solo album Rescue You. ("Endlessly" was the song my parents danced to at their wedding.)

That reminds me, I forgot to include "Do You Believe In Love" on my list. "In Too Deep" and "That's All" by Genesis are a couple of my favorites too, especially when I'm angry or upset about something.

Does anyone know anything about the Azerbaijani house scene? Someone told me the other day it's big now, but I've never heard anything about it.

As a passionate music enthusiast, Rap genre is my favorite. I am a huge fan of Ranboo's music. His creative lyrics and unique sound captivate me and leave me wanting more. I find myself constantly replaying his tracks and eagerly awaiting new releases. I love to wear ranboo merchandise when listen to him. Ranboo's music is a true inspiration to me and a highlight of my music library.

-What happened?

Since I may or may not use a VPN that I lost in a boating accident that registers me outside the US (go five finger discount it up your...five eyes coalition). I'm guessing that YT says it's not available in the US. Let me see what I can do because Music for the Jilted Generation is an absolute all-star, all-time album.

How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable? So condescending, unnecessarily critical I have the tendency of getting very physical So watch your step, 'cause if I do you'll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here This double vision I was seein' is finally clear Want to stay, but you know very well, I want you gone Not fit to fu- tread the ground that I am walkin' on

When it gets cold outside, and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean When I say there's no way we're gonna give up And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe

What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head You should know better, you never listened to a word I said Clutchin' your pillow and writhin' in a naked sweat Hoping somebody, someday will do you like I did

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean When I say there's no way we're gonna give up And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams Said, is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe Said, is there anyone out there?

Does it kill? Does it burn? Is it painful to learn that it's me that has all the control? Does it thrill? Does it sting? When you feel what I bring, and you wish that you had me to hold

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love You'll understand what I mean When I say there's no way we're gonna give up And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams Said, is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe, no, no, yeah Is there anyone out there? 'Cause it's gettin' harder and harder to breathe, yeah

The good life is what I need Too many people stepping over me The only thing that's been on my mind Is the one thing I need before I die

I'm wandering alone in an open space Looking around for a human trace Along the edge of this satellite Losing the route in this empty sky

I'm prey of the ghosts of this galaxy Loosing myself in this ecstasy No clock is turning to sign the time Everything's floating through day and night

No noise is breaking my silent star I'm on the run, i can go so far Flying in absence of gravity Feeling the vibe of eternity

This is the lesson I had to learn This is the treasure I had to earn I am the owner of nowhere land Queen of a castle that's made of sand

Staring in front of the universe Maybe someday I'll meet someone else I'm sure I'll do it, but 'till that day Here on my star I am just a castaway
