The way I see stuff too

Rotten food, The Pope = definitely old in my book.

when it comes to music its a very sujective matter, whats old to some arent to others. To me i guess old would mean something i havent heard in a while or something from the pre 1960-era.. it all depends really.

Too old to spin? Well I wouldnt put a track before 2003 in any of my present mixes (with a few exceptions i.e throwing in a classic or two) but to listen to, as long as its good, its not old in my book

but old != classic

there are many great tunes out there that are old, that most people have never heard and as such wouldn't be classed as a classic

My Mixes

Anything more than ten years old I'd class as old. Anything over fifteen years old is "ancient".

Yes, I realize that which is why I said " with the exception of"

Something is old after a year if I've listened to it a number of times but to me anything is new to you at a time so I could find something from 4 years ago and start to hammer it out and it wouldn't be old to me for about a year.

It's how long you've listened to it, not when it was released.

like most others are saying, good stuff never gets old.

Anything between a year & 5 years old is old & shouldn't be played in a set for fear of getting stoned to death by the crowd! However, anything GOOD more than 5 years old is a classic & is completely legal to drop in a mix! imo, of course!

interesting feedback by all. i do agree that if its been over a few years, then you probably shouldn't be hearing it in the clubs or on a radio set or something.

but then again, there are a few that i was extatic to hear, including Armin's "Communication" and Paul Van Dyk's "Crush". since i was not 21 when either of those tracks came out for the first time, i never heard them live - so it was really cool to hear them being dropped [both of which were spun by Armin when I saw him in Chicago the past two years].
