The e-mail provider race is starting...

Malkavian said:
Looks like they're trying to compete with G-Mail. Wonder what else will happen in the next bit. I'm wondering what Yahoo! is offering, too.

Yeh, it's bull anyway, Hotmail's been giving out low services for ages. Diskspace is chgeap as hell, it don't cost shit to provide a big inbox, especially as, here's the kicker, pretty much nobody will use it.

So there's the grandness of it all. Services most people have no use for. Rock on, people!

No thanks, I'll stick to good old honest POP/SMTP over webmail anyday of the week.

also: Malky is being a moron by classing all Techno into one big equalised genre.
 
Eh.

G-mail, the way it's set up, and all the storage space, is great for small businesses like the one I run out of...uh...my room. I dunno. I dig it, and it's free.

If you're going to get a free mail service, might as well go with the most stupendous of them all.

PS - Kharn's a wanker

True, plus I hear only non-l33t loser noobs don't have Gmail. They have no friends to invite them cuz they have no friends and shit.

Oh c'mon, like it or not and understand it or not, what you call "techno" covers a wide range of music (tho' very definitely not "Reggea", what the hell is wrong with you Lost fer Life?), tho' Lost lists a very narrow and pretty stupid section of this genre. Ratty could probably name some better sub-genres.

Also, if you look at the entire schale, "Techno" and its sub-genres are more diverse than that of Metal. Must be the whole "Techno is more popular" thing, which stimulates more ranges.

It still sucks, tho'?
 
Meh, Reggae is classified as Dance music. Thus it was included in the list of sub genres of Dance music. At least reggae originated from Jamaica as an early form of Electronic music.

What sub genres are there that I didn't list?

Malky is under estimating the influence Dance music has on all kinds of music, many artists draw inspiration from Dance artists. :)
 
Dude I like dance music.

I'm talking about techno. And techno-dance music.

Jeeze. I was in a fucking dance band for like three months last year and I'm probably starting one again soon. Don't talk to me about dance music, biotch. I'm so sassy it'll make you want to try a new shampoo.

I aggree you are sassy... But some techno isn't bad, there's multiple styles of techno, the most popular of which is Hard Techno, there is a lot of soft techno though.
 
This means I'll have a total of 1700 MB of E-mail inbox space. G-Mail, two times hotmail and two times yahoo.
How useful. :S
 
Uh, as for "dance" music (note that term "dance" music is (mostly incorrectly) used to denote most forms of electronic music), the diversity is huge. First of all, don't judge the entire genre by what trance/dance/techno you hear on radio/TV - what you hear is probably just commerce, and thus only a tiny fraction (and probably lower quality) of the scene. Also, commercial trends change very quickly, and sub-genres that were commercially popular for a few years go underground at some point, where they usually evolve into something wholly different (examples - happy hardcore, rave, jungle, UK breakbeat).

In addition to this, it's presumptuous to say that "all techno music sux" and "all techno music sounds da same", since there is tremendous diversity between various genres, and a person that listens to one type of dance music might hate the other. For example, I myself cant' stand club and jazz house, and I really don't understand who can listen to that shit. I'm a big fan of happy hardcore (yes, even commercial happy hardcore - Lownoise rocks, and you can blow me, Kharn) as well as various styles of gabba hardcore (something no-one in his right mind would listen to without a heavy dose of E, except for me of course), but I don't mind listening to good progressive trance, acid or similar "lightweight" stuff. Even techno-haters like you will occasionally find a song they enjoy, and it will usually be some happy commercial crap disdained by most underground snobs. Example: a friend of mine, who listens mostly to shitty pop, was absolutely enchanted by Mark 'Oh's Never Stop That Feeling 2001, a lame, high pitched hardcore-wannabe dance track ignored even by majority of the least picky commerce consumers.

That said, I'm off to listen to some Rank 1 - now that's good trance.

I have a sample of a song that will pretty much prove you wrong about the sounding same thing.

Give the name of the "band" and the song. It's not that stupid "fart song" right?

You're just upset that he can give me what you can't.

Serious, dude. Keep to yourself your private moments with the transformer guy. Ratty PM him in the next time, ok.


Now I have 100 MB in yahoo. Hmmm.... I'm going to see how many trash I receive from my friends in a week.
 
Good metal -> Mettalica and old school metal like Black Sabbath.

Good Dance music -> Jamiroquai

All those technos and trances and acids give headaches each time I try to understand why people like it so much.

Oh and what do we need 100mb inboxes for? hotmail's 2mb inbox is enough for me :P

Good metal -> pre-1990 Metallica and Black Sabbath before Dio

Good Dance music -> The Blood Brothers, Hot Hot Heat

100 MB inboxes rule!

Yeah, I'd say you about hit the nail on the head, dude.

It's DJ SHoE, Energetic Aggressions Volume 4. IF you ever wanted to download some of it, good luck, it's not all that easy to find. If you really want to hear it IM me on MSN, or AIM.
