Over the past couple weeks I have been listening to edIT alot. Specifically Crying Over Pros for No Reason (2004) which is some of the most complicated intense music I have ever listened to. It’s edgy, industrial hip hop / IDM (Intelligent Dance Music) which is in no way trance or techno. I’ve listened to this album countless times and it never ceases to amaze me. A handful of times I end up writing something crazy story to the music. So hey… why not give you an example.

What if you were to write a complete book about everything you thought.
Just writing for days and days of just random thoughts, ideas, feelings.
would it be worth reading? Would somebody actually buy and read the thoughts from first to last.
what if deep within these thoughts, there was a hidden story. A complex story only unfolding at certain moments, in certain passages. What if for example, I write a complete day of nonsense, but then a day of nonsense could have some sense and become part of the grand scheme of things. Time would pass by and connect with future and past at a place called now. What of the violent thoughts. What of all those thoughts and desires that everybody has that you shouldn’t talk about. Not like killing someone, or breaking the law… yet both of those are things you shouldn’t talk or take part in. But what of a thought to cheat on your significant other. What about the fact that you really don’t care sometimes what your aunt is doing. That she just gives you lame presents anyways. Thats what it is, everything and nothing matters. It’s all changing but it’s all the same. The future is the past and now is then. What are you to make of all this inscent babbling? That there is some meaning to all of it? Very doubtful, yet it is argued that everything said has a degree of truth to it. Ink on a paper of a fiction book is not fiction, it’s real. That thought means nothing to everybody because it’s not supposed to make sense. What of all this question and answer. It’s all just babbling anyways.

Like it or not, that’s just some random stuff that happens when you listen to edIT. The music is everything. Currently he is going on a tour of sorts and a new album in the works. One other thing to mention, URB’s next 100.
