Open Thread...

Sorry for the lack of posting, but I spent Friday literally ankle-deep head-first in a hole in the ground digging out tiny rocks with a screwdriver in the high desert. I spent Saturday recovering from Friday, and now I’m spending Sunday discovering that absolutely nothing of note happened in the music industry on Friday or Saturday.

So, open thread today, and hopefully someone on YouTube will do something musically stupid that we can all laugh about Monday morning. Subject for today, swing and “groove” in dance music, and the utter lack thereof in the vast majority of it. If you’re wondering why your progressive house track, which is essentially the same as that other fellow’s, isn’t selling as well as his, you need look no further than the swing slider in your DAW. And maybe scoot that first foot a little bit to the right as well. Presto. Hit. Make sure to give me points on the mechanicals.
