Caffeine Fiend
I noticed I can't mix worth shit. That is unless I have a little caffeine in my system. After I take in a red bull or two, I seemingly don't f-up at all. Others have seen me on caffeine and w/out, and they agree. Does anyone else suffer from this affliction?

Well I always mix better when I have something to take the edge off (weed, a couple beers, other ). Caffeine doesn't really do much for me anyway since I'm kind of addicted to it and have to have it everyday to prevent headaches. But anyway, I hear what you're saying man.

Beer usually does not improve my mixing skills... Even worse, it makes it sound even worse than without the beers

Mixing stoned is freaking impossible. My friend made a tape of himself spinning smacked out of his mind. Let it be known that the entire tape sounded like a double bass pedal for a drum kit.

his killer beat's! Ain't nothin' U can do to make it stop cause trance makes the world go round, so cut the act...
if possible i always try and spin with a red bull in hand. i dont know if it makes my mixes better but it definitely gets me going and i get all hyped up and dance like a little fool in the booth.

I can mix fine high, but not when I am stoned. I just listen to the beats after putting a new record down and I think, "wow, there are like two beats and they arn't matching... um... what happens if I do this? Ohh jeez that made it worse... um how about this... no, damn... ug. I'll just listen to that PvD liveset"

Never drink and mix at the same time, the alcohol makes a big muscle in your ear relax wich normally holds about 20 db out of the ear.
