Only Sometimes


Last night I was at my hair salon till about 11pm.
Everyone had gone home and the only people left was my hair stylist & I.
He's bald and is COVERED in tattoos. He could pass as a drug lord or a member of a bike gang.
He has superb quality speakers in the salon. This is immensely important to me.
I feel that no matter what music it is, it will sound bad if the quality of the hi-fi system and/or speakers are not up to par.
Anyway, after the last of his staff leaves for the night, he BLASTS the best trance I have ever heard.
I don't listen to trance.
When I think of trance.... Well, a number of things come to mind.
But honestly, this trance was off the chain.
I think trance is something that needs to be played REALLY fucking loud.
And it wasn't the kind of cheap, dirty trance that turns me off.
It was a beautiful expensive trance. A lot of synth and echoed vocals.
We discussed it.
And it's something you would envision to be playing in an exclusive luxury Russian nightclub with 6 foot+ models sipping on lavish cocktails.
So after last night, I thought, this kind of trance is not so bad.
I could only listen to it SOMETIMES. And it needs to be played really loud.
But it was quite beautiful.
