For those of you who have been following Bassadelic since the beginning, the NUMBER ONE post should really be no surprise ;)

10.) First World DJ Bitching Fest

	This one was great. And the twitter account (that I WISH I could take credit for, but cannot…) is still going, and still has big-name DJs and producers bitching about room service, bitching about ‘what some hotels CONSIDER steak,’ etc.. Ah, yes, the arrogance…. Click here to look at the article!

09.) The Sloweb: Taking a Second Look at the Notion of Internet Connectivity…

	So, as it turns out, giving the world the option of connecting to everyone else in the world is only the first step to a global culture. As it turns out, the wold isn’t quite as small as we’re made to believe… The Sloweb: Taking a Second Look at the Notion of Internet Connectivity… Click here to look at the article!

08.) Sidechain Compression, 101: A Guide to Ducking

	Sidechain Compression, 101: A Guide to Ducking.. Learn to Duck it out, just like Dilla did! This one was great, and I enjoy the header graphic the most… :) Click here to look at the article!

07.) the Jazz Gene: Why Some Music Has No Genre…

	the Jazz Gene: Why Some Music Has No Genre… The post was a lot of fun to do, and I made a new friend after writing this post! Making friends because of writing is a great reason to keep writing :) (Hello, singingbones!) Click here to look at the article!

06.) Getting Your Samples Organized

	Getting Your Samples Organized… This was a longer post that I made a couple months ago. It was fun to do. It was written by request, and also helped me clarify my sample organization methods a bit more. It’s great as a reference for anyone of any genre. Click here to look at the article!

05.) Hungry to Win: 4 Tips to Achieving the Creative Lifestyle of Your Choice

	This post is about maintaining focus/motivation, empowering yourself and being creative, and telling nay-sayers to fuck off. Why? Because nay-sayers NEED to fuck off, that’s why ;) … Plus the graphic makes StrangeFlow look like a real winner, beating everybody at the Olypmics (and no, I didn’t photoshop that graphic – it actually happened…..)

04.) Creativity 101 – How You, Too, Can Join the Creative Class

	Speaking of creativity, I got specific about how (IN EXTREMELY SPECIFIC TERMS) how to go about making yourself more creative. Not some corny bs advice that others give you (like, “think outside the box. Just do it. Blah) but actual tactics that I have used in my life – tactics that work and can be employed right now.

03.) The Great EDM Bubble

Despite that the fact that I was clearly joking around when I made the graphic, some folks still told me I had placed some of the subgenres a couple years too early or too late. Its humor! LoL. The more posts I do like this, the more complaints I will likely get… but that is OK. I’ve neglected doing very many straight-up humor or joke posts… Focusing mostly on music and production…. Though it is fun, once in awhile, to joke around, and I should probably add a few similar posts soon.. Click here to look at the article!

02.) StrangeFlow’s Video Guide to Making Breakcore

This was one of my first video tutorials, and I loved doing that! I’ve got a lot more “breakcore secrets,” and… I suppose it isn’t entirely unfair calling them secrets, either, considering most breakcore producers just plug in supatrigga and a distortion filter, walk away for half an hour, and come back with a finished album… I mean, come on, you know that’s true :) Click here to look at the article!

01.) How Rolling Stone Fell Out of Relevancy… Because, YES, They Did..

	People got really bent out of shape when I wrote and article about how Rolling Stone Magazine sucks (and why that’s a relevant point to make) though to be fair, there were A TON of people who agreed.. I think the consensus was that it’s true.. Sorry, RS. Your music articles suck – but your political/news articles are often VERY good. Click here to look at the article!
