Musiques.

I am in the mood for some really good techno. Like... fast, and hard, and just pounding at you (that's what she said!) with bass. But not just drums and bass; some of those nifty synthesized melodies too. Vocals acceptable, but discouraged. I just don't have the vocabulary to know what KIND of techno that actually winds up being, or the knowledge of what groups have albums worthy of... procuring. I can never find anything that's quite what I want. Life is so unfair.

Now to watch Animaniacs DVDs. Slappy Squirrel was the best.

Try poking around here. It's very tongue-in-cheek, but I've discovered some awesome music because of it.

Based on your descriptions, I'd say you'd probably be better off starting in the House and Trance sections rather than Techno. Techno has some good stuff, but it tends to be more gloomy and depressing than fast and driving. My personal favorites at the moment are Psy Trance (Trance section) and Eurobeat (House section.)

I... I think I love you now.

I'm going to be in West Virginia the last week of May. Want to run away together?

Absolutely.

Sounds like Trance or Progressive Trance to me. I listen to various stations on http://www.di.fm at least 40 hours a week. Favorites are Chillout, Trance, Vocal Trance, and Drum and Bass, but they have all kinds. Try the Happy Hardcore sometime, it's like mainlining pixie stix.

Yeah, it turns out that trance is pretty much exactly what I was going for... it's a pity I can't listen to streaming radio at work, or I'd be set for auditory entertainment for some time.

What I do is use StationRipper to record a day's worth of music from my online radio station of choice (soma fm) and transfer 'em over to my Mp3 player before I go to work. If you can't bring an Mp3 player with you, then I'm so sorry. I'd hate to imagine what it's like having to work without music.

Oh, heavens no, I have Eustace, which means thirty gigs of Creative Zen magic and an FM tuner. But not so much of the streaming radio. Not so much of the AM, either... I'm going to have to make mecha buy me a radio just so I can listen to the oldies station while I code.
