According to Sirius: Trance and progressive house and dance musicMy Experience: Well, let's wave goodbye to "rock" and say hello to the "electronic/dance" genre. This pretty much means I'm going to be hopping genres now every five or six days. So, as I switched to Area 33, I was treated to a driving, thumping bass beat all the way to work. Who knew that my car could double as a rave? All I was missing was some glow sticks.
It was interesting, though. The drive in to work was comprised of distinct, isolated songs with actual titles and artists, while the drive home was just a series of very long (at least 20-30 minutes) sets of driving beats, blending from one slightly different track to another. I have to say I preferred the former to the latter. Also, there were lots of tracks that "featured" co-artists (signified by f.), as well the introduction of the "mix."
A Time and a Place for Everything: I was telling one of my co-workers about The Experiment, and how I had finally strayed into the realm of techno, and, being a club-goer, he said that he wouldn't be able to stand listening to that type of music while driving. At a club, sure...but not on the way to work. That having been said, this definitely would have been best enjoyed played at someone's house party, not in a moving vehicle.
Sample Playlist:
- Dave Spoon f. Lisa Mafia, Bad Girl at Night
- Above and Beyond, Good for Me
- Snax, Honeymoon's Over (Konrad Black Mix)
- Armin von Buuren f. Victoria Horn, Wait for You
- George Acosta, The Reaper
- Talla 2xlc, Carry Me (Airbase Mix)
Verdict: This one is a surprise...I had bookmarked this last year when doing The Experiment, but my friend's words carried weight: I really can't see me listening to this much (and I know I didn't over the past year).

Let it be known that The Management does not condone the use of glow sticks while reading this blog.
