June 2010: Delay The Haste
Not much to say but “hello summertime!” Personally this feels like the last one. Not the last summer ever… but it’s like things will be different after this summer. It’s similar to the feeling we all had during the summer right after high-school, OR college; we knew things wouldl never be the same. That’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, it is what it is. So let’s not dwell on the inevitable… let’s just all do our part to make this last one a memorable one!

Decmeber 2009: This Is Not A Conspiracy
We’re living in an era of propaganda, confusion, and manipulation. We’re all over-saturated with information and its becoming more and more difficult to know what to believe in. Well, you can believe in this… “This Is Not A Conspiracy”

November 2009: Dark Days Turned Night
The Diligent Dance monthly mixes generate the most traffic of anything I post to this site, So I tend to take them somewhat seriously. I put in a decent amount of effort to make them good and I hope that shows. I do have to say that this month’s is definitely one of the better ones. Let me know if you agree!

August 2009: Waiting For Your Call

Watch! Matt and Kim - Lessons Learned
I never really bought into the whole Matt and Kim hype, but I do think this video is worth a mention. Talk about gutsy! Is it me or does Kim look like a dude? Especially with the AA briefs!
Now that the weekend is nearly upon us and the weather is cooperating, I’m filling with an anxious energy. Tomorrow is Making Time w/ Simian Mobile Disco @ Pure; I can barley contain myself right now. It’s going to be sick and ‘m going to dance my ass off! I’m already predicting that this will be one of my top 5 shows of the year.
Politics! So Long and Thanks For Nothing, Now Lets Celebrate!
So it’s the final weekend of the Bush era… How does that make you feel? I feel as if I’ve aged 30 years since W took office. Not to blame it entirely on Bush; I feel as if a generation’s innocence has been lost, and he we are selfish, scared and cynical. I’m hoping that the era of Obama will allow us to reclaim some of what was lost. So what am I going to do on this final weekend? I’ll be celebrating of course, and you should too! And how do we celebrate? We dance the night away!

You Will Definitely Be Remembered
Ahhh 2008, what a year you were! While we shared quite a few good times together; in retrospect… I’m seeing that you were one fucked up cookie. I’ve personally observed you inspire and give hope to the masses in one breath and then turn to destroy and crush it in the next. For better or worse, there is one thing for certain, 2008 You Will Definitely Be Remembered!
That said, It’s time to move on, but first here’s my annual retrospective.
Music:
I don’t care what anyone says, i don’t care what the sales figures show, or what concert attendances indicate; 2008 was a good year for music! 2007 got us dancing again, so it makes sense that 2008 was the year of the DJ. And boy are there a lot of them! I think I know of more active DJs than of actual bands and artists. I mean seriously, for a white it seemed like there were 3-4 remixes for every song that came out. But guess what? I didn’t complain; I loved every second of it!
