Cthulhu2- Deadmau5
It’s been a little while since I’ve sang praise to my God. I don’t understand how Deadmau5 manages to out do himself every single time. He is one of the only artists who has managed to stay a hundred percent true to himself and his music. He has shown that the direction that the music industry has taken electronic music in the past couple years has had no effect on the music he creates and puts out. This is why he’s the best, this is why he is a true artist. I had downloaded this song when he first posted it on Soundcloud but hadn’t listened to it for some reason. I burned it on a CD with a bunch of other stuff and still hadn’t given it a chance. Yesterday I got in my car after work and it came on and my jaw was literally dropped. Listening to this song took me directly back to theMeowington Hax tour where I felt so engrossed in his music it was as though he was taking a hold of my brain and had turned me into a zombie. There is a simplicity to his music that is just so captivating. The way your mind holds on to each sound as it resonates through you. He sets the bar for inovation- creating a sound that this like nothing else out there right now. There are a lot of people out there capitalizing off the influx of popularity and notariety this genre of music has been receiving. Then there a few artists who stay true to what made this music popular in the first place and will contiue to usher it a new and exciting direction.

People always ask me do you like LA? My immediate response is yeah I love it. What do you like about it? I pause and think and honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t seen much of LA at all. Been to a handful of clubs. Been to a handful of tourist spots. So to answer that question I usually respond with it’s never a dull moment in LA you got bums, crack heads, prostitutes everywhere causing a scene, bums shitting on walls in broad daylight, bums sleeping on the sidewalk of a major road during rush hour traffic, crazy shit everywhere. After a response like that people look at me like what the fuck are you talking about that’s not any reason to love something because you think the people watching is at its finest. So I think and search for a much deeper response and nothing blank. Then it hits me, the real fucking answer is my friends. For the first time I have friends. The true definition of friends. The idea that I created in my head what a friend should be. I fucking found them. Finally, after years traveling from city to city. Sure I had a strong circle of friends back home but nothing like what I found here in LA. I was looking for something outside my bubble. People I haven’t known the majority of my life. Finally, after all this looking someone put these amazing people in my life at a time when I needed it the most. At a time where financially and professionally hit bottom but socially things couldn’t be any better. These relationships I’ve formed has kept me going. The only thing keeping me positive. The only thing keeping me from completely drowning. I’ve created a family for myself in a city where I have no relatives. A family with brothers and sisters who love me and who I love so much. LOVE a word I don’t use often. I use it rarely and I use it carefully. And these people my family my friends I have so much love for. I can’t be more happier in a time in my life that couldn’t be more awful. I finally have a place I can call home for the first time since i left the nest 7 years ago.
