A trainspotter is someone who can name songs being played during the night... (I know thats one definition)

When the scottish bloke is kicking the habit of heroin he is locked in his room, he has trains-wallpaper and he kinda goes mad n there

There isn't another train in the whole movie!
What's ironic about the title anyways?

OK A trainspotter is someone who can easily identify a song being played from a live set.....they can make up a tracklist

John DIgweed sets n such........trainspotters help ID the tunes and then we have a cool playlist....so we know what the hell we are listening to when we dl a set :PP


trainspotter aka someone who knows his shit very well

Peace..im out

Hey Thanks for the help guys i had suspected that it was the name for people who knew their shit.

Now I can rest in peace. lol

errr...from i've heard trainspotting is "looking for the next big hit" in regards to a herion/drug hit i think

...dunno if this is the same in regards to music scene, but it makes a lot of sense with the movie
