text: It’s a thrilling feeling, and once you’ve experienced it a few times, you start jonesing for more. Skrillex is fully aware of this, and uses it to his advantage. All through last night’s packed gig at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan, he stretched out on a variety of musical tangents, always circling back to reward the audience with increasingly visceral drops. In addition to including bits of his own hits “Rock N’ Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain),” “Bangarang” and “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites,” Skrillex added drops to familiar hits like Damian Marley’s “Welcome to Jamrock” and the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize.” These songs go over well with their high recognition factor, but they fit seamlessly into the set and served as a subtle argument for the flexibility of dubstep as a genre. Skrillex was particularly compelling whenever he integrated elements of dancehall and reggae, with the harsh bass tone and jagged rhythms contrasting nicely with the warm, relaxed melodies.
  Skrillex is already popular enough to headline festivals and play several large gigs in one week in both Los Angeles and New York, but he’s poised to get even bigger this year. He’s up for Artist of the Year at the Grammys next weekend, and though he’s a bit of a long shot in that race, it’s a good indication that the record industry is keenly aware of his star power and potential to bring this niche sound into the mainstream. It wouldn’t be surprising if Skrillex-style bass drops became a ubiquitous feature of pop music in the next few years – it’s a fresh sound that could get shoehorned into a wide variety of tunes chasing after the zeitgeist. (Skrillex has already dropped the bass on Korn’s latest album, The Path of Totality.) It’s hard to imagine many artists beating Skrillex himself at his own game though, at least not any time soon. For now, this guy is the king of the drops.
  
  SO I am plotting my next next book and I can already see the heroine, which is a good thing. But I don't know whether I'm ready to write her. This is the poem she inspired in me, not as upbeat as my usual. Probably she's also older and has seen the world. Hmmm...maybe that would not be so bad, someone with a varied experience should make an interesting character. Anyway, enjoy...
  Wow,can't wait to read the story,that poem reminds me of someone I know.I know this is going to be muah
  Sounds like her life is a treasure pot of stories waiting to be told...almost like she's lived a very full yet hollow life.....Cant wait Myne :)
  I know that feeling of waiting for a bit before writing characters. Sometimes it takes a while for them to reveal their thoughts and desires. Deep yearning, past disappointment, and loneliness came to mind after reading your poem. Good luck with writing this baby!
  Look at all the stuff that has happened while I was gone! Look at this website! You have a book! Wow wow wow! Sorry this must look childish but I can't help but be excited. Congratulations first and foremost. I am a little confused because it seems that many blogs have changed names and also the bloggers have changed names..not you though. I love the poem - a lot. It really speaks out to me, esp with the difficulties I am going through at the moment. I am going to have to check your book out very soon!
  Beautiful poem! I like the line, "But time waits for no one." Boy, do I know that. Good luck with your next book!
