4) There / Their / They're
5) CDs / CD's
Ok..the bottom 3 are a bit trickier for some, but the first two are no excuse... I have know people who came to Canada with no formal english training that comment to me about how some people mess up the first two and how it puzzles them how people don't know the difference.
Mind you my english has suffered somewhat from being online for so many years - excess use of chat room / forums can do that to you if you're not careful.
Here's a nice one to screw ya up:
They're a good band so I don't think you're a loser if you use that loose change in your pockets to buy theirCDs from the store over there.

I'll be honest, it's rare for me to here new uplifting trance that doesn't bore me to death. Mainly because a lot of producers just get lazy and just follow some formulaic style that other unimaginative producers fall into. The buildup has some '1999' trance style to it but has some 2002 distinction to it as well.
Originally it said "What we have here is a new uplifting trance track that doesn't bore me to death" .. I then edited it to say what you quoted and forgot to change the 'here'.
