Alright, I'm pretty hung over ATM so I'll post the rundown.

I've got about $500 right now that's burning a hole in my pocket. Future income is sketchy as my summer job as a lifeguard is running short. I'm trying to decide if I want to...

a) Save up for a CDJ-1000 mk2

b) Buy a midi contoller and m-audio audiophile.

c) Buy lots of records.

I can't really make up my mind here. For one thing, I love Zabiela and what he does with the CDJ-1000 inspires me a lot. I also want to start spinning tracks and samples I make myself. On the other hand, I really want to start producing crazy shit, but I really need a midi controller to make those crazy melodies and clean sounding bass lines. Not to mention, putting notes into a sequencer one at a time is a real bitch. But if I make a cool track I'm just going to want to spin the CD-R of it in my sets.

And of course, I haven't bought records in 2 months while trying to save up for something, and it's making me go into withdrawl . I'm supposed to play a big college party some time in the near future too.

What to do, what to do....
