8/2 515 Alive Music Festival 2014 Des Moines, Iowa the libraries don't block the ads, I am getting some really bizzare things coming up here (from womens clothes to mature dating and even the baldness cure yet again, in fact I am in town also to get a haircut because my hair is getting a bit long, but not considering cross-dressing (although there is more chance that the clothes might fit me, as when my sister last visited she said all the clothes shops started at two sizes above her).
PS: not sure whether this happens to everyone but all the ads are targeted for me at middle age/seniors, but I am not using my usual static IPs so it would usually be for putting google analytics unless the google cookie is stored on our box..

The 515 Alive story:
Before the corporate ran, profit generating machine music festivals started spawning in the United States, the American music industry was united by grassroot passionate musicians and performers who wanted to share the magic of their music in a unique show experience. In 2002, the collaboration of enthusiasts in a small state called Iowa, gave birth to an event called 515 Alive, at the heart of the state's capital, Des Moines. Despite it's obstacles with being one of America's less populated areas, 515 Alive exploded and grew with the spirit of the unity amongst citywide, statewide, and regional support.
515 Alive began as a block party, and has taken many directions, especially taking strong identity being a symbol of Iowa's electronic music scene. The festival has also been a canvas for urban arts and urban music, breaking barriers between musical styles. But the most important and dominant type of artist that has been the lifeblood of 515 Alive, are specifically the DJ's who have made magic building, creating, and performing on those epic stages that gradually improved, year after year.
2014 continues the next generation of 515 Alive bringing this beloved event to an ALL NEW and exciting location. Featuring an array of new headliners, bigger sound systems, massive light & laser shows , and a new breed of enthusiasm from it's young supporters, The lineup of national & regional headliners, 6 stages and supported by the most influential venues, artists, and promoters in Iowa, the 2014 515 Alive Music Festival will be a day you will never forget

Do not deal with this site, it’s a rip off! Hi, I registered to let you all know not to deal with this RC web site. I just got burned for over $200.00. If you search for Primemedshope it will take you to a website selling RC';s. The email address is the same with a Gmail.com at the end. Watch out he is a good talker until he gets you money. Then he has the nerve to ask for another $200.00 for insurance. Please do not say it!!!! I know how stupid I was. I just don't want anyone else to get hurt. I do not know if I am posting this in the right category but I hope the admin. will pout it where it belongs. This guy is a real A hole. G. B.
P. S. I see you are not allowed to post their name, I will tell anybody that wants to know

5/29-6/1 BloomTown Music Festival Waubun Minnesota yes, this is classed as a "mobile phone" (it would be possible to connect an accu to the DC power in on the Nokia terminal); although it is fairly modern (2000s, and has both GSM 900 and 1800 frequencies) - I was surprised it would work with pulse dialling and had enough power to ring the old style magneto bell on the 700 series phone (this one was built in 1972 in Scotland, so is as old as me!). The Nokia terminal was previously on the wall at ICR-FM along with a 1990s era Samsugn PABX (I would have tried to get the whole lot working but the setup software for the PABX is impossible to find; and support for this Nokia kit has been abandoned since the Microsoft takeover but I managed to find a manual on the KPN website)
first video is inbound calling (listen for the sound after the first ring, that is the ETSI FSK caller ID signal), second is outbound pulse dialling (to the PVR / VFR voicemail number). The Nokia kit can also be set for the the other caller ID signalling used in Denmark (which the Americans have never got right for Asterisk) as well as changing the disconnect clear signal time (this is important to make Asterisk realise
Pulse dialling is however a tedious process with modern telephone numbers (until the 1990s many smaller parts of the UK had only 3 or 4 digits in a local telephone number) - I have now connected the Nokia terminal to a spare FXO (trunk line) port of a VOIP adapter on my phone system that I had not been able to use due to its echo canceller being no good, but a GSM terminal already has one built in. This has the advantage that I can use my house phones to call mobiles using inclusive/free minutes, and also route the mobile connection to any other part of the telephone system.
warning : mind your ears on the second video if using headphones or listening on big loudspeakers - I forgot how strong the output of a carbon microphone is and it howled the monitor speakers on my test set (which I had turned up so the audio from the line can be heard). These phones can even be used to bug rooms because of this; I am also building an old style line circuit so once I've worked out the component values will show how this was done..

BK-2CB & MDMA Would bk2cb (the research chemcial said to be x5 less potent than actual 2-cb) be safe to combine with MDMA
I've just ordered some offline out of curiosity, theres obviously quite a few chemicals that are not safe to combine with md and I couldnt find any info online for the BK version..
Just wondering really, would it be safe? cheers.
Tabling is expensive :( Hey guys!
I am a college student in San Francisco and I love to table at clubs, but can't afford to on my own. I'm always looking for people to go in on a table and split the cost, which is a difficult task.
I decided to create this website for partiers like me to connect with one another and split the cost of tabling. I think this can potentially solve a lot of issues for many people.
If you feel like it, please check it out at Table With Me | Let's create a fun night...
I would appreciate any support.
Thanks :)

Seth Troxler: "Dance Festivals are The Best and Worst Places in The World"
May 20 2014
Share on Tumblrsubmit
An open letter to the electronic music community, penned by Seth Troxler himself. This article was originally published on THUMP UK.
The current state of dance music is crazy. It’s so flooded. Everywhere you look, there’s a new festival and a new party. I lived in New York City for four months recently, and there were about 50 Resident Advisor parties on one weekend. I mean, what the fuck? It’s the same with festivals now, too. Everyone is going into the boutique festival game and whilst I think it’s cool that people are going out and enjoying themselves, where do we draw that line over quality?
In light of this craziness, here’s my take on festivals, clubbing, and not being a cunt.
FIRST OFF, GOING TO DANCE FESTIVALS IS NOTHING LIKE GOING CLUBBING
I was in Switzerland recently, and a promoter complained to me that there’s a big problem in the country’s club scene because of how many festivals happen around Switzerland. He said that in the summer, it’s hard to get people to come to your club. People would rather spend their money going to festivals abroad, than going to clubs in their home cities.
But that dude missed something: dance festivals and dance clubs are not the same. At all. This new generation care much more for the festival experience than the club experience. Kids who like dance music now have grown up with no first hand experience of original club culture; techno, house, even rave in the 90s. Festivals are their “dance music experience” now. Festivals are fucking holidays.
EDM FESTIVALS SPOON-FEED US BULLSHIT —AND WE CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT
When I get booked to play these massive festivals in the US, I often walk around them to see what they’re all about—and 90% of the time, it’s fucking horrible. We’re breeding a generation of impatient, annoying festival kids. I say impatient because the patience of the clubber is different to the patience of the festival-goer. At these festivals, you get it all on a platter up-front.
Lasers! LED screens! Pyrotechnics! DROPS! Boom! Bang! CAKE IN YOUR FUCKING FACE!”—wait, nah man. That’s not clubbing, that’s a concert of cunts. Just, go out for a night in a dark room. Be cool.
I was talking to a good friend of mine Craig Richards, and he said that back when he started going to clubs, there was even more patience: you’d vibe on the dance floor for hours, with space for your body and everyone else’s. Now people consider a “good event” something that’s really packed with bodies and “energy:” energy-packed-extreme! That’s not clubbing, man.
Clubbing is a culture, not a few messy hours in the middle of the night, but EDM culture doesn't promote that. If you’re Suzie who just graduated high school in Florida, you go to Ultra and think “Holy shit , Avicii is about to blow my panties off.”

LET'S FACE IT, EDM DJS ARE THE WORST PEOPLE EVER
Speaking of Avicii, Avicii is a cunt. When he went to the hospital during Ultra in Miami, my tour manager Alex was with the nurse assigned to him. The fucking cunt wouldn’t even speak to the nurse. She would have to tell his manager what to tell him, and they were sitting next to each other. You’re in the fucking hospital. You can’t talk to a nurse who’s trying to look after you? The insane stardom syndrome of these massive EDM DJs pisses me off.
It’s not just a personal thing either. Their music is just shit.
I’ve seen Steve Aoki play at these festivals, and he kept turning the music off, jumping around onstage, saying “This is my new single! Out next week!” and playing the next song. You are not a fucking DJ. You’re an overpaid, untalented, cake-throwing cunt. My best friend Frank from high school is now my PA, and he’s in the Little League Hall of Fame for being a crazy good pitcher. We’re going to get Aoki with that cake, man. I’m coming for you, Aoki.
EDM IS NOT A CULTURE, BECAUSE IT GIVES NOTHING BACK
Look, I’m generally really happy for everyone. I try to keep positive about all this craziness. But if you’re not critical of the culture you live in, and love, then you’re doing yourself and everyone around you a disservice. EDM plays host to a profound delusion about what electronic music and dance culture are. It’s ridiculous music, made by ridiculous, un-credible people.
In all honesty, I find it profoundly sad. We’re trying to move on and be a real force of culture and conversation—a wider genre recognised as having real cultural depth—but EDM is wiping that slate. For being taken seriously in a musical sense, that’s frustrating. A lot of my work— especially with my label Tuskegee—is a revolt of that, and an attempt to historically legitimise our culture. That’s my passion. The rave changed me, and I want kids to be able to experience that tomorrow.
WHAT WE NEED IS PLUR—NO, REALLY
In the US, there’s this term PLUR. It’s got a crappy reputation now, but it stems from the values of original club culture: respect, being positive, communal unity. Once you have those values, they spread in how you conduct yourself and view the world.
I was in a club recently and there was this guy there with one of the original Paradise Garage tee shirts on. We got talking, and he said the major difference with dance music now and back then, is back then there was real diversity. You had social, class, race, sexual diversity—and that’s cool. That’s what dance music culture is about. Everyone under one roof, exploring their own and each others identities. A celebration of something more, something outside of received norms. Not having a giant glow stick and getting on it.
The Red Bull Music Academy street party for Paradise Garage and Larry Levan Way last weekend was beautiful for that exact reason. You have a huge block party in a huge city, full of white, black and Asian people, young and old. Nobody looked wasted, and hardly anyone was on their damn phones. They were just dancing and singing together to beautiful music, for hours and hours. That is club culture.
THERE'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN FREEDOM AND IDIOCY
I see some fucking crazy shit in clubs, and some fucking sad shit at festivals. It’s such a fine line. Like, that photo Eric Prdyz tweeted from Ultra? Of a girl doing lines of coke off another girls naked vagina? At a festival, that’s gross. At Berghain, it would be kind of hot. In Berghain, that shit stands for freedom. At Ultra, it stands for excess and trash.
The first time I ever played at Berghain, there was this big bear of a dude in assless leather chaps and a leather harness on the dance floor. I was playing "Yellow" and when he bent over, this other guy came over and starts eating his ass. Everyone around them was just dancing and being all cool. I was like “……..that’s interesting”. But that’s a revolt against the world. That’s the freedom of the club. Falling in mud and getting cake thrown at you? That’s not freedom. You’re an idiot listening to shitty music. Just, stay classy kids.
EDM IS NOT ABOUT MUSIC, IT'S ABOUT MONEY
If you’re a band, a DJ, whatever, you’re only as big as how many people you can bring to a club or a festival. EDM has really changed what commercial music consumption is. These purpose built clubs inside massive Las Vegas hotels? The music is shit, but they’re selling thousands of bottles of alcohol a night to rich idiots. Kids today would rather go out on a night out, listening to whatever music, and getting on it, than pay $40 to going to a rock show that ends at midnight. Everyone wants more, all the time.
You can produce a huge festival and not be shitty, though. Look at TomorrowLand in Belgium. It’s a huge festival, with almost the same acts at somewhere like Electric Daisy Carnival, yet so much quality and care is put into creating an experience. Electric Daisy Carnival? It’s a stage in a parking lot, full of loads of kids with fucking suckers in their mouths and gas masks on, listening to horrible music.
To me, the perfect festival is a Burning Man, or Shangri-La at Glastonbury. There’s music, but it’s not just about the music. It’s about experimentation, and the environment in which you experience music.
BUT, WHEN THE BUBBLE BURSTS, WE'LL HAVE A NEW GENERATION OF DANCE FANS
Not everyone’s a lifer in this world, but what separates the wheat from the chaff is intellect. Intellect is a true indication of taste. Some smart kids are standing in these EDM festivals, in the mud and heat and sick, and they’re thinking, “Yeah, this is fine for now, but this can’t be it forever.” There’s got to be something better—but they have to find it for themselves. That’s the next generation right there.

speakers blown! please help me find some new ones so after a few years of loyal service my sole remaining speaker seems to have blown, however my subwoofer is still working fine.
they sound quality and noise levels were absolutely perfect on these speakers for playing bassy music loudly while maintaining the sound quality. im looking for something to replace them just for use in the home so don't need them to be outrageously loud (although i wouldn't mind), i usually just listen to music on them but when my decks are set up and working i use them for that too so im after some with good sound quality and volume.
i don't know much about wiring up speakers at all and don't know whether i should be getting active or passive speakers, im pretty sure the last ones where active as i don't have a separate amp and i can't afford one at the moment
any suggestions ?
Hello There! Hi guys,
I'm Leo, I'm currently in london (however I do move around alot!) and i've lurked for a while but it's about time to contribute too.. Hopefully usefully!
party on!
