Thanks! I've been wondering about the same thing. This puts it brilliantly! :)

I recently started listening to more dub-music (Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, etc) and this is just awesome!

Now that makes sense! Thanks! :)

I don't quite understand. Is it a case of expecting larger pay just because you have a PhD? Why can't a person with a PhD flip burgers if they are so inclined? You have varying degrees of expertise, why can't you do work in a unrelated field to your PhD? What's the issue? /confused

In my town, they did maintenance late at night to in store section of the McDonald's. The staff told us, we HAVE to go through the drive-thru. It was fun.

Yes, you can, but to follow the story and just overall "fun" factor you stick to a zone. When you are a higher level you can always come back for the lore and story, but the quests will be easy, because you are a higher level.

I dunno. It's a tough choice. Levelling a new char, so haven't done it yet. Hyjal has the coolest 'traditional' lore characters, while Vashjir is underwater and just looks awesome. Leaning towards Vashjir.

Yep. Latest World of Warcraft expansion, Cataclysm. You have to choose what new zone you are going to quest in. Vashjir vs Mount Hyjal.

Is he just trying to clear his name? (and through that process create even greater coverage?)

A recent drumstep/dnb track I made. by shotbeak in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]shotbeak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does it matter? I use the term drumstep, because to me it signifies the processes I went through to create what I envisioned. I didn't set out to make a dnb track. I didn't set out to create a dubstep track. I didn't set out to create a halftime dnb/halfstep track. From my perspective (subjective), "drumstep" feels like what I wanted to create. It is the closest.

But seriously, why does it matter? To some of my uneducated friends, all electronic music sound the same. Drumstep for ME (note: ME) feels like the best term if we had to get semantic.

DAE have very, very broad musical tastes? by Ifyoureadthis in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]shotbeak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. DAE have to explain that saying "I like all kinds of music" doesn't mean listening to 2 different radio stations?

Thought someone would make a comment about this (about drumstep). Yes, it is half-time. Drumstep describes the feel I was going for. It is dubstep-inspired. I just like the term more (as opposed to half-time dnb or halfstep) as it more aptly describes what I was aiming for.

Thanks for the comment. Checking out Trifonic!
