hey twisted, i get what you are saying. it's hard thing to put into words so you come out sounding insensitive, when youre not tyring to be. hopefully i can reply before you get flamed...

my question would be, what is the difference between positive and negative emotions and energy? is there one? is it in the eye of the beholder? i mean, every time i am reminded of life's impermanence, of everything's impermanence, it may be on the surface, depressing, but it brings me back to the center. it isnt that i "forget my troubles" but it puts them in perspective. helps me maintain my view. it may seem negative, but the result is a positive effect on my thinking. it's so easy to get sucked into and trapped inside our own personal storylines. in fact i am there right now, going thru some difficult personal stuff. but this thread actually helped me remember what it's all about. and that's good.

i actually did know adam, but just a little bit, we traded a few emails. he was an amzingly bright and gifted kid and he is rightly missed by loads of people who never knew him but loved his music. we dont really know whats up and whats down, and maybe he fullfilled his job here, and has moved on. or maybe not, i dont know how it all works. i do know that grief is a natural condition of the human experience. we carry so much of it for so many things all thru our lives. so again, maybe this is useful for people to be able to express and thus move on from (or just explore) a grief that they cant describe or touch otherwise til giant losses bring it to the surface.

i'm kinda thinking out loud here, and not trying to chide you at all. just thought i might share a couple ways that this kind of thread is more constructive than not.

i wont say RIP adam though, because the only thing resting is his body, and that was just a shell he used for a little while and now, his spirit or energy or whatever you call it is just as real and just as active as it ever was. i don't know. i don't know. i don't know how it all works but nothing is ever created or destroyed so something is happening somewhere. what is it?

peace and love

noel

RIP STARKID

And NOEL good post there

It's a loss surely
Every person who dies is a loss, especially when they are too young
It's a shame, it really breaks my heart and makes me think about how life can be really harsh

It's always the people who don't deserve it who die first

Good thing i deserve to die soon

RIP - Adam!! Hard to beleive it's been a year; it feels like last month; so fresh in my mind.

There is a starkid goodnight moon mix that me and a good friend enjoy.
As well there is also a jayepoch rememberance mix.
Quality stuff there so check them out!

rip adam! great man! we used to have fun times on gdjb chat. i will never forget you, good friend. peace and much love!

Starkid - Crayons (LEAMA & MOOR IN LOVING MEMORY OF ADAM REMIX!!)

Missin him still

I just listened to the Leama and Moor remix of Crayons this morning, it still gives me chills every time I listen to it. I knew he was young when he died but I had no idea he was only 18

RIP Adam, you were an incredible producer.

Not the age to die
RIP.

the remix of 33rev he and I did together on Looq Recordings will be on the new dance dance revolution game on the start up screen. im sure he would get a kick out of that.
