how is that even possible? |
When the record came to an end, a DJ had to hurry and try and get the next record on as quickly as possible. It's from a quote from "How to DJ Right." I'm too lazy to look it up. |

I agree somewhat, but I still think the first time is always the best. |

| vinyl can still be cheaper or at least cost as much as digital. for example, i bought 'colette - feelin' hypnotized' (the single) when it first came out for $6.99. it had 4 mixes on it which means you would pay $1.99 x 4 = $7.96 at beatport for the mp3s (320). |

Yes, but would you ever actually BUY all the mixes of one track? It would have to be one special track :)
There's over 30 years of back catalog of dance music on vinyl. Digital for new stuff, vinyl for the classics :)

In a rather ironic twist of delayed madness, I'm now enjoying a very delicious and rather yummy plate full of my own words...
What a difference time makes... since initially posting this topic, I'm now about 50 or so vinyl records heavier and my bank account is about $600 lighter!
It's an interesting phenomenon that I noticed while having some company over: I can stick a song on my PC or CD player and most ppl will just react like "ok... whatever. nice choon". But the moment you break out that vinyl - totally different feel. Seriously. For some reason, there's this really odd mystique around vinyl. Perhaps of it being rather "unusual" in today's world, almost archaic and yet modern at the same time. Just weird.
Like I was saying, some friends were over and I was just playing the records I happened to like, next thing I know - I'm DJ'ing 80's style - e.g. single turn table, pause between tracks, while I literally... Jockey the records around :D /grin/
Of course it also helped that some strobe lights were around and booze was free flowing - it was amazing, untill I got so sh*tfaced I could not even stand straight to swap the records... so, I just popped Pink Floyd - DSOTM vinyl and chilled until I had to wobble over and flip the record.
Overall, great night... and I just plunked about $400 on vinyl this week alone. So yeah, eating my own words here mates... Wish me "Bon Apetit!" :toothless |

i love the mystery of records. Beautiful black discs that are like tablets, physically carved with a universal yet hidden language that can only be understood in the actual ritual of dropping the needle on it, the transmutation of a piece of plastic into something nearly magical that can make people scream, cry, jump, twist, jack, , etc |
Yes yes yes. |

Going to go slightly off topic here since I really haven't heard more then a few records in my life. I found it pretty lol that my friend at school didn't know of the existance of CDJs let alone pc programs.
I mean seriously key lock/master tempo is great. It's kinda hard to harmonicly mix without either a lot of preparation or key lock/master tempo.
Any comments on people who think those who don't use turntables aren't real DJs? |

If it's their opinion, fine, I respect their opinion even if it sounds kinda funny. It doesn't really matter to me what some people think about "real DJ's".

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
