YES! the video with the midget!
You don't know how long ive been searching for this lol
Search strings like "armin + midget" , "armin sammy pop little guy" never worked

It's easier searching for the singer's name (Roel van Velzen).
Which is the first thing google inappropriately suggests here using your first search string.

The little guy is pretty good. He can sing, play guitar, drums and piano and was successful with this cover. I'm pretty sure Armin is jealous at those skills

hehe this guy is legit!

Glad I stopped by for my biannual TA visit in time to catch this thread while it's semi active!

Actually seems a bit busier than last time? Never been a massive contributor but have booked plenty of lurking time. Is it really that hard to give it at least a freshening lick of paint?!?

I've found my tastes diversifying a fair bit since the early 00s, into almost every other type of electronic music. I am encouraged by some of the more melodic atmospheric stuff I've heard recently. It is now labelled as progressive house on Beatport; most of it is more 118 than 138, which is fine by me but probably not great for the clubs.

I'm on Something Awful and have been for a long time - they cater for indepth discussion on such a massive range of subjects, but it was actually the front page content that drew me in initially. With the paid account and swift bans, combined with the often very cliquey humour it amazes me they're still going so strongly. The ability to buy avatars for other posters must be a huge moneyspinner though.

Just want to thank John for playing a big part in one of my favourite nights out - Two Tribes Melbourne 2002, my friends were there for Tiesto but I got them to your set and you stole the show for them that evening.

To be honest, this place is actually busier than most forums these days. If anything it's getting busier in recent months.

I don't really understand SA - it seems to be a general forum of everything and having to pay seems bizarre to me, and I'm amazed it worked.

I'm amazed Reddit is a success. It all looks like bland walls of text.

I reddited for a long time but dropped it when they started getting so political about everything.

I often find myself missing forums and all the friends I've made and lost over the years. It really was something we grew up with. My enthusiasm for music downloads and club nights fell over the years mainly because clubs have just gotten so shitty and rude. It was more the realities of partying than any complaints about the music that pushed me out. Waiting in line for 3 hours, having to wear dress shoes to be allowed through the door, the insane ticket prices and travel costs. I remember showing up to events in shorts and a tank top and walking right through the door for 30 bucks, and everyone being friendly. Then ticketmaster happened.

I still check out youtube/soundcloud/pandora/etc for interesting music but I'm not the avid trance seeker that I once was. The trancefix forum still talks about music and recommends stuff, admittedly it is often a bit tiesto/arminy.
