Well, lately I've been going through my iTunes library and listening to music that I hadn't listened to yet, or in a while so I could rate the songs properly. The reason I tell you this is because in doing so I've found some really good music that I'd like to share. The catch is it's not rock or metal. So I've been thinking about expanding this blog from just rock and metal to include electronic, dubstep, drum 'n bass, big beat, techno and the like. I've been a fan of electronic music for years. I remember growing up and going to the skating rink hearing C+C Music Factory's "Gonna Make You Sweet", Technotronic (I love you Ya Kid K!!!!), Culture Beat and all that good stuff. Man the early '90s was a good time for music.
So in the first post about electronic music, I'll share with you the albums Twin Cities Electropunk. These feature artists from Minnesota. They feature the likes of Avenpitch, Apox and more. I only listed the two artists that were the ones I saw on my playlist. So what if I'm a little lazy right now, I've been up for almost (at least it seems like) 20 hours. These releases are available for free from Avenpitch's website which will be linked down below.
If you're a metal fan and wouldn't hate to at least try and expand your musical taste pallette, give these (so far) six compilations a listen. Hey, they're free, what's the hurt?
On a side note, I'm currently working with Sony ACID and working on my own electronic music. So far, it's not bad, (in my opinion). I don't expect (or really want) to make a living doin' this. I'm just doin' it for fun and maybe someone besides me will enjoy what I make. But I'm also working on remixes for Avenpitch's "Manscaping" and some Negative Earth tracks. Wish me luck and who knows, when they're done I might just post them on here. I guess only time will tell.
Hope everyone has a great life and until next time, I'm still the one and only Crash Underride.

Halo In Reverse
Ok, first and foremost, I would like to apologize for the long delay. I've been fightin' my depression again and it's been pretty bad lately. So, this is helpin' me feel better so, thanks for waitin' and readin'. So, onto the music.
Halo in Reverse. Yeah, that's right this dude's name is Halo in Reverse. The first time I saw it, I'm like "How can a halo go in reverse? It's friggin' circle!" Don't let the name fool ya, he's good. He's a white-boy from Philly who's got the Indsustrial chops that liken to Celldweller, Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails and Criss Angel (yes, the illusionist), just to name a few.
The first time I heard of him was when I got a friend request on MySpace. Normally, I don't add bands that request me, however I had a listen to his music had a great sound, not to mention a good name. So yeah, from the first listen I was a fan. He's got songs that range from, good to have as background noise in your headphones while you surf the internet, to songs that you'll find yourself listenin' to while on the net and semi-bangin' your head too, to just plain ol' good songs, to a couple great ones. I highly recommend the 4:41 "Pop Culture Icon". It has to be one of the best songs I've heard in the last few years. You can listen to some of his "tune-age" (that's my Pauley Shore) on his MySpace page, OR what I suggest his official website, on which he has a chunk of more songs on a pop out Flash player, which, for people like me who have computers with REALLY bad RAM, is a good. You can go there listen to his songs (sorry no downloadin') and still raise hell on other sites.
