Am sure everyone knows (think everyone on this site knows more about forums etc than I do) but to get full effect of picture click on it, should you have any interest. Which you Certainly should have. After all I am Truely a living God. The Chosen One!

Woman Dear. You know that masturbation makes you go blind eventually. If I were you I'd stop now whilst you're still able to see a we bit, though seemingly not much. Though you are a bit of a goer, so you might find that difficult :)

Who the hell is that guy in your avatar? Is he your toy boy? :o

Back on topic, some good points here...

I think the fact that trance music has totally lost all relevance in mainstream circles has dictated that those wishing to make the extra big dollars (Tiesto et al) have had to really dillute their sound and cash in anyway they can.

Back in '99-2000 artists were making legitimate underground trance tracks which were designed for dancefloors and then incidentally enjoying cross-over success, or at worst adding a cheesy 'hooky' vocal to make the charts. That doesn't happen anymore, to make charts and big money you need to totally sell out.

Very apt and appropro comment Neuro :o

But to get back of topic. Is Gary Barlow a male escort Cheese? You know you shouldn't really be doing things like that! From the looks of him he's at the lower end of the market. You deserve better! Could be partly the cause of you're failing eyesight :) Am on mobile. But will post another picture of me when next on computer. If you think it looks like a monkey, then I think there is not much hope for you. But I'll still love you :)

Yeah and it's exactly what's about to happen in Dubstep the latestvNero and Flux Pavillion tunes are dire, yet they get daily radio one air time?? Nevermind.

Mass media has obviously decided that the two acts you mention are the ones to cash in on during this brief infactuation with dubstep. They have already made Katy B a star and need some other acts to whore out while they make their quick quid before casting them aside like they do with all acts which crossover from an underground movement to the mainstream.

The acts in question just need to hope that they don't totally sell out and alienate their core fanbase so that they can go back to the underground once the hype blows over and they are no longer valued by Radio1 and the other commercial entities.

I remember a few years back when Nero did Act Like You Know, seems odd now they are in the big time with commercialised dubstep!

But yes every soften it happens with everything, trance as mentioned, UK Garage, did Grime really make it that big?

Grime in itself didn't really make it (as were told it would do) but it did spawn some artists who readily sold their soul to make it. People like Wiley etc who abandoned grime to cash in

Both seem to have already sold theirselves out IMO, judging by their latest offerings. In some it Ways it's good and helps broaden the horizons of pop listeners. Bit like our once dance virginal minds but the down side is the pop part, the here and now coolness that burns itself out.
