| Perhaps that's a vague question but I was just curious how high electronic is on your totem pole. |

| Vague is an understatement. Complete my life how? By being music that I listen to? I can promise you the fact that I listen to electronic music has no impact on my professional career or my personal health. I like to listen to it, and it usually makes me happy, but I don't consider it to complete me. |

| It's a masochistic addiction. Especially in retrospect. Sometimes It's like eating in you and your ex's favorite breakfast place, and trying to taste a memory, and sometimes it's like a one night stand. But never ever a ing long lasting relationship, no, That music is a cheap ****. |

Very professional reply. By saying completing your life, I was trying to say does it elevate everything else you do in life. Is it a top priority in life like Jesus is to a christian.

The metaphors really have me thinking. I appreciate your insights. |

The top priorities in my life are my health, my family, and my career. Music is a hobby. If music becomes a priority over the three things I listed above (with the exception of music actually BEING your career), some seriously critical self-reflection is needed. |

| What exactly is so "ing stupid" about that? Music is not my personal Jesus. |

| Well music is probably the thing I'm most passionate about, I take it quite seriously, more seriously than anyone takes me. Although I try not to judge others on their preferences, but sometimes you can't help it when people are just plainly ignorant. |

if you go to some really poor countries, music is right up there with family. It gives people a reason to live.
That old cliche about cutting funding to the arts to pay for the army and then some guy says what are fighting to protect and everyone goes ahhhhh man, you just blew my mind.
But electronic music is more my macdonalds. Ok in small dosages. Music is my profession, it is my life so to speak but the way you phrase the question, saying yes just feels wrong. |

| ^yeah, music is universal. I find it intriguing you compared electronic to mcdonald's - well I guess that's where "cheese" correlates. |

| I wouldn't say it completes my life, but it's a very important factor. Nothing beats taking long walks during the evening, listening to some old tracks that bring back memories. |

I was curious about this as well. I'd agree that music shouldn't come before any of those 3 things as well. |
