  1. Hey Lorin/Basscrew,
    Is there someone on the media side of things that I could get in touch with about creating an aftermovie/event recap video? I’m a local Chicago event videographer and long time fan of his!
    Cheers (:

  2. Bassnectar I’m a (more like “was” now) Bassnectar fan. I also have identified as a “Conservative Independent” ever since 2008 when I first got into politics and supported Obama over McCain. I’m also a millennial. And frankly, this is one of the more absolutely ridiculous, piece of trash political posts I’ve ever read and I did read every last word before writing this in order to give a fair and complete response.

    First there are numerous, hyper generalizations that are beyond absurd. One : Baby Boomers and millennials are written about as if there aren’t millions of Liberal thinking baby boomers and millions of Conservative thinking millennials. Newsflash: there are.

    Two : The Electoral College is not some conspiracy theory white supremacist system to get conservatives in the Republican Party elected. Perhaps next time you should read up on the Constitution and all that it entails before coming to such bigoted viewpoints and read the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, so you’ll know that it was made to strike a compromise between votes of the President by congress and those by the American people and to keep voting balanced as others have mentioned numerous times so that voting is not dominated unfairly and controlled by only a few segments of the country by large states such as California, which is overwhelmingly liberal. This keeps the balance of power fair to strike a balance between parties and political ideologies and lines of thought in order to avoid extreme overreach by one party or the other.

    Three : A true democracy and voting system should not exist for the sole purpose of getting who YOU want to be elected as President, it is to serve ALL people and represent ALL people and their differing viewpoints.

    Four : Believe it or not, you CAN be a Bassnectar fan and ALSO BE a Conservative or a Republican, an Independent or a liberal or Democrat but apparently Bassnectar doesn’t believe that because if you did, you wouldn’t be slandering all conservatives as people who oppose every single thing you listed.

    So although I know you thought this post of yours would be a good thing because apparently you don’t think things through very well, just know that it’s also having the opposite effect you thought it would with some of your fans. Maybe I should take your advice and simply boycott all future Bassnectar albums since we clearly have disagreements. Because it’s quite clear that you have no respect for anyone of your fans who may be conservative. How ironic – preaching to everyone about bigotry while being a bigot yourself. Good day

  3. NYE 2017/18 was beyond perfect. Just when i thought, how can it be better then 360? THEN LORIN AND THE CREW SHOW ME!!! Each event me and my crew travel to is incredible in every single way! I leave speechless and hungry for more bass music after EVERY event!

    I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU FREAKS AT SPRING GATHERING!!!

    Also, i was wondering if anyone can tell me if any of the Official NYE merch will ever be posted up for sale? After waiting 3 hours to check into our hotel across the street because of accidental over booking, 2 hours to get into the venue, then another almost 2 hours of waiting in line for merch i was crushed to find out that the Other Worlds NYE jacket had sold out. Other Worlds is my FAVORITE track right now and when it was dropped in ATL, I turned into a puddle. Personally, that song holds a lot of meaning to me already and it would mean a lot if i could find the jacket to purchase. I have been obsessively lurking on ALL nectar Facebook pages in hopes that maybe someone will want to part ways with one they bought. With having no luck on that (or missing out when someone DID post theirs for sale…damnit.) i thought maybe i would try to go right to the source and maybe i could get more information on this topic. Thank you!

  5. Lol @ Bassnectar. Dude invites people to his website to engage in “debate” then deletes everyone’s opinions he disagrees with. No wonder there’s so few comments here. What a phony

        1. Funny his fans and him are all for “tolerance” and “free speech” until it’s an opinion that differs from his liberal globalist one-world-government socialist utopian world view. All while he himself benefits from capitalism. What a scam.

          1. You got that right.

      1. His comment was removed. I saw it posted then it went away after refreshing. So unless he’s lying or there was a glitch then yes it was removed.

        1. I thought it was a glitch at first but the second time I saw it was getting approval from moderator so I caught him in the act I ain’t stupid dude I took IT class back in school I know how this shit works.

        2. Kind of funny that once I posted the comment saying my original comments were getting deleted after I seen a notice saying the moderator was in the process of my comment getting approval that my original post from six hours ago suddenly came back. But hey, it’s whatever, I just found it humorous – appearing, disappearing and appearing again six hours later. Hopefully it stays this time ?

      2. Really cuz both times I posted, the comments showed up and then it said moderator has now got to approve it then it disappears when I come back. Gimme a break

          1. Ya I did delete one and reposted the updated comment. That one has nothing to do with others I posted. He’s deleting them.

          2. AGAIN: nobody is deleting your comments. Lorin is not on this page.

            I just took a look in the Spam section, looks like the system marked your initial comment as spam.

            Relax buddy – nobody is trying to silence you.

          3. Whatever dude. I saw it, my cousin saw it and I saw the message saying he was in the middle of approving it, then me and my cousin and Beavis saw it. It doesn’t matter it’s up now. If it magically “disappears” again then he’s deleting it.

          4. Just sharing what I’m literally looking at in the backend of the Disqus system. I’m going to move on with my day now – have a good one!!

          5. It’s kind of suspicious to say he deleted it when you are online at the same time he posts the comment absolutely destroying this article’s argument with facts and logic. Bassnectar was the one that told us to come here and debate instead of on the Facebook thread with those childish responses to fans unhappy with him shoving his agenda down their throats.

          6. Read my comments Kyle – nobody is deleting anything.

            His initial comment was marked as spam and Thomas himself deleted the other.

          7. So my first comment five hours ago was marked as spam as well as the one from an hour ago? Those don’t have a thing to do with the one I deleted. I’m done talking about it – the dude doesn’t like what I said or somebody doesn’t and that’s the bottom line

  6. A democracy without liberty and justice for all will always be corrupted in favor of the oligarchy. Careful with what you believe to be true, they could be misleading you into falling for the same fallacies that billions of Americans buy into. Hope that the system is honest about how it works. They lie kiddos. It’s a pursuit of happiness, not a right or a guarantee. They really just want liberty and justice to work out for those in power. And those in power are always the old money and their loyalty. They will buy the freedom to corrupt the system every time, and build a support group large enough that the system will only change through smart economic and social change. Politics is the slowest way to change the game. Spend your money smarter and use your word wiser, to more productive ends; and you might earn the right to buy a seat at the table. Until then you’ll just sound like a kid who hasn’t studied the game that the people in power have been running wild with all throughout world history. Piece of advice, study the philosopher. And buy your way into power. The vote will never take you there, it will only waste your potential to afford a seat at the table. Not to mention you’ll waste your time with lies of hope and promise instead of real firm plans once you’re in power. Plan for the future, don’t wish on a shooting star. Then get to work. Nothing is free in America. Especially not political power.

  7. Wonderful post! Thank you so much for sharing and empowering your community to make a meaningful difference!

    Love all of your points but am wondering if you coming down a little hard on the term “conservative”? I feel like “republican” would be a better word for the people you are describing. Both parties seem disinterested in the people and very interested in building a bigger government system, keeping their own power, and lining their own pockets of course. The “us vs them” situation that we find ourselves in today doesn’t make sense for a proper dialog and discussion of ideas. Where is that third party?

    The libertarian school of thought is one that I believe many bass heads share but might not know it. Socially liberally, fiscally conservative, small government. Do we really need a group of other people (government) telling us how to spend money? Treat others with dignity? Take care of our environment? I don’t have the answer but I like to think we don’t need an overlord restricting freedoms in exchange for securities. I think humans are better than that as a whole. We are a creative and persistent species. Perhaps a third party can become a strong center middle where thoughtful disagreements can occur and good ideas win.

    1. They aren’t libertarians or fiscally conservative at all, they’re socialists that want massive taxation.
