DubFX in Bucuresti la Fabrica


 Sambata seara spre duminica in club Fabrica s-au auzit ritmuri de dnb. DubFX a reusit sa stranga asa de multa lume incat pe la 12:30AM au oprit intrarea pentru ca erau prea multi oameni.

Fata de data trecuta cand a mai venit Dub in Fabrica si oamenii s-au plans de acustica, in special de 'inalte', acum lucrurile au fost remediate. Poate prea mult :)). Volumul putea fi dat cu vreo 10dB mai jos. In orice caz, podiumiul pe care eram noi, eu fiind pe treapta cea mai inalta, si care se afla in spatelele incaperii vibra de fiecare data la liniile de bass facute de el. Foarte misto!

A interpretat melodiile mele preferate plus inca unele care mi-au placut, si a demonstrat inca o data ca muzica lui live poate fi cateodata chiar mai buna decat piesele inregistrate.

Concertul lui s-a terminat pe la 3.00AM dar dupa el au venit altii asa ca Pitzy&Co. au mai avut motiv sa iasa un pic afara la o gura de aer si pe urma sa continue zbenguiala.


That was it. Nice to hear you Dub. Good luck.

Poze mai tarziu.

Refined subwoofer songs

Let me be very clear. There are many "songs" you can play on your audio system and get tremendous bass but much less are actual songs you can listed to:

Here is a short list I have so far which are sure to make your woofer need more space and air :P

- Lil Wayne: A Milli

- Burial: Archangel (8-Bit Boy Remix)

- The Qemist: Stompbox (Spor Remix)

- La Roux: In for the kill (Skream's let's get ravey mix)

- Chase & Status: Eastern Jam

- Noisia: Stigma

Despre Eurovision

Ma tenta ideea de a scrie despre acest subiect dar m-am razgandit de cateva ori. Asta pana cand am avut o discutie telefonica care m-a impins sa scriu, in primul rand pentru ca am inteles ca din partea Romaniei, spectacolul a fost chiar bun.

Eu nu ma uit la acest 'show' din simplul motiv ca mi se pare cel mai politizat concurs de acest gen. Iar acest lucru mi-a fost demonstrat inca o data. Tarile nordice se voteaza intre ele, restul lumii voteaza cu vecinii. Bosnia cu Serbia, Moldova cu Romania si Romania cu Moldova. Si tot asa. Si din nou, desi (cica) am avut o reprezentatie foarte buna, am iesit printre ultimii. Dovada inca o data ca mai nimeni din Europa nu ne suporta. Mai mult, tara castigatoare am inteles ca a luat un avans considerabil si a terminat cu un numar imens de puncte. Iar dupa calcul persoanei dragi cu care am vorbit la telefon, peste 80% din toate tarile au acordat castigatoarei din acest an punctajul maxim. Ceea ce suna....aiurea. Ma abtin de la alte comentarii aiurea.

De ce NU iPod Shuffle (Gen. 3)?

Pentru ca generatia 2 e mai misto.
Pentru ca are butoane si nu niste controlere pe cablul de la casti ca sa nu imi pot folosi castile pe care le am eu.
Pentru ca imi place mai mult cum arata Generatia 2. Actuala generatie arata ca un stick. Adevarata, e mic si subtire dar nu conteaza...asa il pierd mai usor. Exista totusi o limita nu?
Ah, si un alt motiv ar fi pretul. 22$ costa componentele din ipod shuffle. Iar end-user-ul cat da pe el? 79$ in US si aproximativ 109$ la noi.

Concert

10th of April 2009. Bucharest, Romania. Arenele Romane. One of the best have arrived.
Please welcommmeeeeeee CHASE and STATUUUS!


Mda. Aproape adevarat. Uite ca am facut-o si pe asta. Am fost la Arenele Romane.
Din pacate insa nu a venit decat Chase...dar asta e.
Inainte de el a fost Dj Snow si MC Agent care au avut cateva melodii bune. Parerea mea e ca au stat prea mult (but hey, that's just me). Pe la 2.00AM a intrat Status in actiunea si a inceput cu un intro de la Is it Really Worth It si deja celebra Take Me Away. Cateva highlight-uri au fost Running si Where's my money iar punctul culminant a fost Eastern Jam (HELLL yhea). Dupa aia au urmat cateva care nu le-am mai auzit si au fost foarte ok. A mai venit si Streetlife. A bagat si Noisia dar si remix-ul de la Prodigy cu Invaders must die. Foarte tare. Iar Pieces a incheiat spectacolul.
LA 4 si un pic am plecat. Pitzy a mai ramas.
Am ajuns acasa mi-am bagat capul in perna si nu auzeam decat un tiuit :)) Za end.

(Aproape) Am fost la concert U2

Spun 'aproape' pentru că din păcate nu am avut plăcerea de a participa la un asemenea eveniment. Insă, am fost la un documentar/muzical la Plaza. Iar acest documentar, produs de National Geographic nu e nimic altceva decat un concert susținut de trupa U2 în Buenos Aires filmat/editat în 3D.
Faptul că nu se compară cu experiența reală este trivial. Insă e mult mai plăcut decât o peliculă standard.
Cel mai mult insă am fost dezamăgit de calitatea audio. Nu știu dacă așa a fost realizat ( deși ma indoiesc profund ) sau cei de la Movieplex au partea lor de vină. Cel puțin de la un concert te aștepți la mult mai multe.
Deși am fost miercurea, când este și Orange Film, sala a fost foarte goală. Aproximativ 20 de persoane. Spectacolul insă a fost frumos.
Personal, mi-a plăcut mult.

A venit Mosu'. Mai devreme. Si mai gras.

Cuvantul exagerat e prea putin pentru situatia actuala...
Pe scurt, a venit Mosu' cu... uuuuuunnn........SUBWOOOOFER!
Povestea, pe scurt: am decis sa iau subwoofer activ din varii motive. Si am ramas chitit acum cateva luni (cred) pe un JBL BassProII. Azi insa, dupa ce m-am consultat cu un specialist am decis sa nu il iau. Primul motiv: E prea mic. Al doilea, are putere mica (60-70W reali). Al treilea si cel mai tare...carcasa este de plastic.
Astfel ca am acceptat oferta de iarna de la Be-loud. Un subwoofer activ Juice (A12) + cabluri + reducere 50% la montaj.
Ideea este ca eu practic habar nu aveam ce cumpar. Am mers pe mana lor pentru ca am mai facut asa o data si am fost multumit si am zis sa mai incerc inca o data...
Si m-am trezit dupa ce am terminat comanda cu o cutie extra-large in care se afla subwoofer-ul. Si care de abia a incaput in portbagaj.
Las pozele sa zica totul:



Despre el...ce sa zic...500W adevarati...1100 sau 1200W maxim...difuzorul are diametrul de 30cm.
Mai multe chiar nu am ce, decat dupa ce il montez si il aud.

Cert este ca trebuie sa recunosc, dimensiunile sunt prea mari. Ocupa prea mult spatiu din portbagaj, iar pentru masinuta mea...e prea mult.
Ma consolez cu gandul ca o sa se potriveasca de minune cu viitoarea mea masina...cat despre portbagaj...sunt tanar frate! n-am nevasta, n-am copii, n-am asa mare nevoie de portbagaj.
Acum sa ma prostesc si eu sa imi fac damblaua, ca mai tarziu....

Happy Friday

So this day was awesome. First we had an extremely nice seminar at "System's arhitecture", I think this is how it's translated. Anyhow, it was very nice.
After that we had no teacher at differential equations because of bad communication between him and another teacher so we decided to get out of the building. What 2 do, what 2 do...
I ran to my car, got my volley ball and met with everybody in Cismigiu. The weather was extremely nice so we took advantage of it and had some fun. After that some girls, invited us for some coffee. (just to answer some questions:P ) Too bad I don't drink. 
And afterwords, in the car for some music. Removed the equalizer from the ipod, plugged it in and "vum vum" :)).  (more about this in another post)

Got home and also got the chance to let my parents know of the modifications. I told them that normally the sound isn't that good because I have a borrowed component but they liked it anyway :D.

Best friday since the school started.

Powersongs

In order to celebrate a small milestone for me I wrote this post. It is the first time I made a 5km run. And I will go beyond it. Take it to the next level. Until then...

This is the list of song that I listen when I run. They help me forget the voice in my head that tells me to stop. Also, a couple of other songs that I listen before or after running.

Before running:
Fatboy Slim - Right here, right now
Audioslave - Shadow of the sun
Bon Jovi - It's my life
Lupe Fiasco - Tilted
Nickelback - How you remind me
The Prodigy - Smack my bitch up
The Prodigy - Wake the fuck up
The Prodigy - Diesel Power

Warming up:
Oakenfold - Ready, steady, go (Remix)
Nina Simone - Sinnerman(Felix Da Housecat's Heavenly House Mix)
Paul Linford and Chris Vienna - The Mann

During running:
Saul Williams - List of demands
Christina Aguilera - Fighter
Danny Elfman - The Little Things *
DJ Tiesto - Adagio for Strings
DMX - X Gonna Give It To Ya
Eminem - Till I Collapse
Faithless - Insomnia
James Newton Howard - Finale *
Kanye West - Stronger
Linkin Park - Bleed It Out *
Nelly- Here come the boom
Nonpoint - In The Air Tonight *
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite *
The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

After running:
Enigma - Return to Innocence
Massice Attack - Teardrop
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
India Arie - Ready for Love

To make everything clear I don't listen all of them.
Those before running are usually played at home, when I start preparing to pump it up.
Those from warming up, I usually listen to only one of them and then go.
Before running I make a list with the songs I would like to listen. Those marked with a star are a must. I cannot run without them! True powersongs!

20th birthday!!!




Oh boy! Wasn't that something?I had a blast to say the least. 
We all gathered around at about 21:15. 
Although initially I had to meet Adrian and Nico at my house and go togheter with Raluca by foot there, I changed plans to go by car and leave it there over the night. It seems Adrian had a change of plans too since he practically came with almost everybody.
So here I was, instead of having a nice walk to the party with 3 other people, there were two cars (Nicu's and mine) and other 9 people :D. The first big surprise of the day were the gifts. I didn't expect because I remember clearly telling them something, but they disregarded that and got me some really cool stuff. (more on them in another 'acquirings' post). As always Nicu pumped up the volume in his car and played with the hand brake :)

We had no trouble parking. We arrived at Beckerbrau at about 9:35. Got the tickets and went to the table I had made reservation for. And we started chatting. Soon enought the waiter came and we took one bottle of energizer, two glasses of juice and one meter of beer. 
Around 10:00 a band started playing some music, instrumental. At first was ok, but after more than half an hour both Mihai and Cristina, me and probably others started to get bored of them. 
I felt that, but it was nothing I could do. Finally, they stopped at around 10:50. 
The other 3 musketeers (Galani, Andreea and Beldi) came at just over 10:30. Since we were all there we ordered another meter of beer. It was quite fun. 

And then, at around 11:15 the band came. And they started singing. And boy they are good! It didn't take long for us to hit the floor. Togheter with Nico, we broke the ice and started dancing. 
Soon Laura, Cristina and Mihai and others joined. 
What next happened would be the second surprize and a sooper-dooper one. Between two songs, the band singer took a piece of paper and read a dedication to me from my best friends :D. It's really nice to hear you name so loud :D. 

So the rest of the night was a continuous loop between dancing, drinking and occasional pause. 

I am not quite sure but I think around 2:00 they started going home. I'm not really sure because after 9 beers at least ( I also lost count of them) time wasn't that important for me.
Soon, 2:30 the check came and it was time to go. (as a note, 6 meters of beer was ordered + two extras :D).
But the party did not end there. Nico, Adrian, Pitzy, Galani, Beldi and me went to Costin Georgian (the soon to be famous and frequently visited place, "prietenii stiu de ce"). Of course the boys took some beer, started some music and continued the fun. I was a little busy. 
It was time for them to go to sleep. But not for Beldi and me. We both couldn't. 
A nice moment was at about 6:30 mabe 7 when we were both on the balcony (at the 9th floor) and the sun came through the clouds and the day was coming and the wind was bringing a nice breez and smell of I don't know what flowers. I have to say, if instead of Beldi was a girl that would have been a pretty romantic moment. But no. :P
Aat 7 and something  almost everyone got up. 
Except Alex :D





But soon after he heard I was playing with his camera, he got up :P
After some nice tea @ AEN, Nico, Adrian and me were the last to stay. 

Finally, he came with me to the metro. (btw, i really like that pants you gave me :P )

The walk from Dristor to Mall and finally my car was good for me. 

Couple of minutes after 11 I arrived home, at my folks. Showed what I got from my friends, talked with them about the great time I had. I ate two slices of bread with cheese and another two with honey. 
Went to bed. Slept one hour. Got up, home all alone. Unfortunatly there wasn't no water in the house! :)) That was a strange moment. 

Well, there you have it. I don't think I missed anything. (important at least:P)
I would  like to thank everyone for accepting my invitation and for making me feel good, and make me realize how lucky I am to be surrounded by such great people who I care about. I hope they had as much fun as me.

Unexpected for unexpected

Each and every day I wake up with a song in my head. Most of the times it's a song I've listened to the other day several times. Or it just might be a song from my iPod that I like and want to listen.

This time however it was different. I kept hearing it in my head, started singing it(although I suck at it ) and I knew who were the performers but didn't know the song's name. With the help of the internet however, I soon did.

What's special is, I woke up missing that special person, my unexpected reader. I stayed in bed minutes and minutes thinking of her.

No more unnecessary words: the unexpected song which relates to my unexpected reader is: Depeche Mode: Free Love.




Lyrics:
If you've been hiding from love

If you've been hiding from love

I can understand where you're coming from

I can understand where you're coming from



If you've suffered enough

If you've suffered enough

I can understand what you're thinking of

I can see the pain that you're frightened of



And I'm only here

To bring you free love

Let's make it clear

That this is free love

No hidden catch

No strings attached

Just free love

No hidden catch

No strings attached

Just free love



I've been running like you

I've been running like you

Now you understand why I'm running scared

Now you understand why I'm running scared



I've been searching for truth

I've been searching for truth

And I haven't been getting anywhere

No I haven't been getting anywhere



And I'm only here

To bring you free love

Music and behavior

Now I know those two are related. Everybody can notice some patterns and it seems that some of us had done a study.
The results:
"

WHAT STUDIES SAY ABOUT YOUR SOUNDS:

POP: Conformists, overly responsible, role-conscious, struggling with sexuality or peer acceptance.

HEAVY METAL: Higher levels of suicidal ideation, depression, drug use, self-harm, shoplifting, vandalism, unprotected sex.

DANCE: Higher levels of drug use regardless of socio-economic background.

JAZZ/RHYTHM & BLUES: Introverted misfits, loners.

RAP: Higher levels of theft, violence, anger, street gang membership, drug use and misogyny.

"

extract from : http://www.theage.com.au/national/musical-key-to-unlocking-teenage-wasteland-20080804-3pxy.html?page=-1


It is important to note that it is not the music that for example make people kill themselves. No, this study is about types of people that prefer a certain type of music.

In other words, if you are depressed and want to put a hole in your mouth you are probably listening to heavy metal. Not the other way around.

As always this doesn't mean that EVERY guy who listens to rap is violent and angry but there is a pattern and it should be taken into consideration.
