or, maybe the missile blowing up in their face is evidence of what the serious analysts outside of the war media have been saying the whole time: north korea is not a serious threat to anybody, and this whole facade is retarded.

i'll be clear: i walked by the first club, and it seemed dead so i walked to the other one, which was also dead. they normally need to clear people out, but it was empty when the lights turned on on this night.

the first club was probably empty for most of the night. there's some christian holiday or something, this weekend? i didn't even realize until i got to the bus stop. and, the first club is a lot more conservative than the second one, so the smoking section isn't as much fun. if i had met somebody outside at the first club, i would have stayed there. the second club is also open a half hour later, which is key. but, despite these drawbacks, the set was probably better at the first club on this night...

...and this is just random, too. in fact, one of the djs that i saw last night at the second club played at the first club last night. i just happened to randomly catch an off night.

i tend to assume that when i go to a club the dj is going to be playing dance music, and one dj is as good as another. the only exception that i make is for industrial music, which i'll always prioritize. industrial >>>> everything else.

but, i should be a little more selective.

i had fun, anyways. the bands i saw earlier were both a little unexpected, but interesting in their own ways. i'll do reviews in the review space, shortly. right now, i'm still editing. i just wish the dj was a little (ok, a lot) more upbeat.

i'm in for the night, and may have grounded myself for the rest of the month. well, i had fun while finances allowed for it. may is only two weeks away.

that's not yet confirmed. i could work something out, still. i'm crafty.

last night was fun in principle, but i have to state something that has been said repeatedly: trap is fucking terrible. and, i'm going to actually explain why, which is what most people don't do. they just say trap is terrible and expect you to get to not doing it anymore. snappy.

the reason that trap is terrible is that you cannot dance to trap. the reason you cannot dance to trap is that it is very, very slow. you'd have to be on k or something.

i repeat: you cannot dance to trap. so, why are djs spinning this in dance clubs?

the reason is that it appeals to pothead dudes, the type that don't like to dance anyways. djs are pretty much all pothead dudes, so you get this echo chamber. and, if you look at the floor after a few minutes, you will confirm the obvious: the women disappear.

so, if you're running a club, this is the option in front of you: you play trap, and you get a sausage party. and then your club dies.

i didn't check the afterhours dj before i went out last night. i just assumed it would be techno. i mean, i don't have a lot of options in front of me, in terms of after hours parties in detroit (believe it or not). but, i actually should have gone to the other club on this night.

in the future, i'll have to check to ensure that trap djs aren't spinning before i go somewhere. but, i can't imagine this shit has much gas left in it's tank, either. it will no doubt go away soon...

if the situation could be properly analyzed, which is not actually possible, there would ultimately be a specific genetic mutation that would give rise to the first chicken. it is true that speciation would not occur at the point this chicken hatches, but require some time for the allele to become dominant within a subpopulation, and then for that subpopulation to isolate itself - which is usually done physically (through geographic barrier or migration). however, once the dusts settles, we will then need to test for this specific mutation in order to determine whether a bird in front of us is in fact a chicken or merely a near common ancestor to all existing chickens.

such a chicken will hatch from an egg. but, neither of it's parents were chickens.

the egg precedes.
