Actually, that was from our first Skype meeting. We were introducing ourselves and WPM kinda randomly associated Clayton with Clay. He tends to forgot who a lot of the staff is, so he makes associations with things here and there. I made Clay my avatar that night (er, I think) and yeah, just went with it.
Yep, that's my life at the moment as well. The curricula for all of the courses geared toward my major are rigorous, and I don't have much time for social activities, but that's not to say I'm not enjoying myself.
I've never been a huge techno/dance fan, mainly because a lot of it can be kind of repetitive (especially dubstep). I checked out Discovery though, and loved every song on that album. Daft Punk just seems to have their own original niche in their genre unlike any other. So yeah, Daft Punk and Bassnectar would have to be my top two electronica artists.
