The Paradox

Round two with Excision.

EDM Sauce

Excision's most recent stage set up, The Paradox, was brought around with him on tour all across the country. Many people got to see something in the EDM community that has never been seen before. The only other DJ specific set I've seen is The Mothership with Skrillex. The Paradox describes the stage that is brought to you by PK sound and is powered by 150,000 Watts of mayhem. This thing is absurd. For someone who categorizes themself as a "basshead," this is a must see. Outfitted with lights and lasers around the entire perimeter, the show is supported by the graphics on the screen that stretches across the entirety of the stage. In fact, I saw this previously in Tulsa, Oklahoma and they could only fit half of the setup in Caine's Ballroom! HALF! The Paradox complemented Excision so well because the absurdity of the drops was picture perfect with the powerful speakers. As I tried taking videos from front and center the audio had cannibalized itself and came out a jumbled mess (crying emoji).

Now the reason I say all of this is because Excision has just announced his upcoming tour with The Paradox AGAIN, and I am ecstatic! With more shows added to the roster and I'm sure more visuals, the only thing that compliments this tour better is the drop of his new album, Virus. Which now has been out for about three or so weeks. Excision will also be supported by Cookie Monsta, Barely Alive, and for the first time on tour Dion Timmer. Timmer is a protege of X's and is already producing bangers. I can't wait to see him live as well. Be sure to get tickets soon because if for some reason you haven't heard of The Paradox tour then the rock you live under will be a lonely place if you don't get the opportunity to see this beast when it comes to a city near you.

Now all I'm saying is I plan on catching this bad boy two more times to bring it to a grand total of 5 times I've seen Excision. Roast me for it, but he is the best. All hail X.

P.S. To get a more immersive view of The Paradox, check out the brand new video for "Rave Things" which features only shots from this set. Like I said, insane. Worth every penny.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
