2) playlist making
3) internet procrastination
In 2010 my extreme fandom, playlist making and internet procrastination took a new direction as I fell in love with house music. This has resulted in Deadmau5 joining the ranks of U2 and Nine Inch Nails the musicians who define my existence.
It's hard to believe that just a year ago I was among the masses that ask "What's a dead-maow-five?"
The brilliance of name like Deadmau5 is it allows the army of fans to immediately discover and initiate the new person who doesn't know it's pronounced dead-mouse. This is normally done by making fun of them to the point that they will a) never pronounce it wrong again and b) always make fun of others who do.
Thankfully, I received my initiation from my good friend Stephanie Hannah. She's been listening to house for years, the influence of her british fiance. Unlike myself, she doesn't try to force her taste in music on others but when you've been friends with someone from almost 10 years the influence is inevitable.
I had been taking the Ballet Bootcamp class at Flirty Girl Fitness for a couple months by January 2010. Just like most exercises classes the music was the same every week and fell into the house/pop genre.
I always looooved the first song of the class but I could never remember the lyrics to google when I got home. One day I asked the instructor for the name but the simple concept of writing it down eluded me.
A small miracle happened and I remembered a sole piece of identifying information.

"Hey Steph, I'm trying to find this song...it's pretty and it's by someone and someone else who's name ends with five"
"mmmm it's it 'Move For Me by Kaskade and Deadmau5?"
One simple youtube search later and an obsession was in its infancy.
