State-of-the-Union-esque, only music. Right? Right.

Convictions. Everyone I know has something to say about the type of music they like/dislike. They may say, “I like all kinds of music”, but 97.13548% of the time they’ll follow up with, “except <insert random variation here>”. Personally, I can’t handle Country (countless times I’ve expressed this), Death Metal (screaming/non-understandable) or realllly slooowww musssiiiccc.

In my case, I’ll admit that I’m a huge House & Electronica snob. If it doesn’t go nnnsta nnnsta, I usually don’t listen to it. Some occasions may require a change, since there are people out there that don’t like it (clueless… all of ’em!). I shall now include a few images to reinforce my statements. hahaha

MySpace Blog Entry on this HERE

Above & Beyond were actually the ones who started playing this track and making it big. They first played it on “Trance Around the World” (their weekly internet radio show) on January 30th, 2007. Since then, I’ve been in love with this song. I can’t get it out of my head. If there was a way to vote for a “2007 Track of the Year”, this would be the one.

Quick note: this YouTube link is just audio and I’d fast-forward to the 55 second mark to avoid the club-beat introduction for mixing:

What makes the Drew tick, you may ask yourself… I’ve had a stretch of time to think about this lately, and I felt I should get it down on “paper”:

• Reading – I finally picked up a book about a week ago and finished it last night.  I haven’t read a book since I rode the El train to work out in Rosemont.  Sad.  Need to start doing this more often.
• Baseball – Live preferably, but TV works, too.  With friends.  Yelling at the players.
• Traveling – So many places I want to go.  Europe (Germany/UK/Ireland), Tampa, Florida (to see Stick), Miami, Florida (Winter Music Conference in March), Arizona (to see Jen / Spring Training), Oakland, CA (to see the A’s play), but the ultimate would be Ibiza, Spain (a small island off the Southeast coast of Spain).
• Going to see new DJ’s – I haven’t been to a club JUST to see the DJ in months.  The last time was probably Judge Jules in November of last year. *sigh* I have seen a couple since (DJ Rap, Christopher Lawrence @ Sound-Bar), but it wasn’t planned or as good.
• Taking Pictures – It would be nice to have a bigger and better SLR digital camera & be able to take classes.  The photo gallery now has over 6500 pictures.
• Sleep – I don’t get enough.  As I’m sitting here, it’s already 12:10 a.m. and I need to get up around 7:30 at least.  That’s not 8 hours.

Speaking of that… I’m going to bed.  I’ll probably add more to this list soon via post-editing.  More to come later…
