Personally, my madden 12 melted. At first I was mad. And then I felt liberated.

 

I didn't play Madden for probably 8 years. I bought Madden 11 used, Madden 12 new... and in 8 more years maybe I'll play again.

 

I'm not much into electronic music at all, but recently I've been moving towards dubstep, and just yesterday I figured out why: the beat of it is the same as the one that plays in my head constantly (and has for as long as I can remember) and the music sounds just like my shop hands running routers and jigsaws at the same time. I like dubstep because I'm overfamiliar with it. I'm assembling a pedalboard to play organic dubstep wobble bass.... I'll get a new component in the mail in a couple days.

I posted a Skrillix tune in another thread recently... "Cinema"... the bass drop has a part in it that sounds like Megatron enjoying a sandwich.

 

What is dubstep? My knowledge of music is about the same as my knowledge of Andoran history.

 

Here is the aforementioned Skrillix tune. The dubstep wobble drop happens at 1:19. Play it loud so you can go buy new speakers

Dubstep is generally 140 beats/minute, with a beat on the 1 and 3 which makes it seem like half speed. VERY heavy sub bass, often with a wobble played by tweaking low frequency oscillators.... but can be duplicated on a standard 4 or 5- string bass guitar with the proper tools.

Also, you have GOT to see this guy! Marquese "Nonstop" Scott. Watch starting at 0:50

NO CGI involved!

Also, a dubstep remix of "Pumped up kicks".... very typical dubstep drop in it:

Someone in my Asian History class got a four out of 100 on a paper. In his defense, it was originally a 14, but he turned it in a day late so he got ten points deducted. Why even bother at that point?
