That's why he carries CDs now.<BR/><BR/>And I disagree with you about his DJing. Check <BR/><BR/>deephousepage for evidence to the contrary.<BR/><BR/>He's a DJ who is all about selection and feel, rather than technique.PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828854682227101864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-64117667042932558192008-10-16T11:11:00.000+11:002008-10-16T11:11:00.000+11:00ah well unrealistic expectations on my part i gues...ah well unrealistic expectations on my part i guess. i'll try and do my research next time :( i guess i should have been in room 1 with Jus-Ed instead.<BR/><BR/>i'm away this weekend - and also i'm not sure i'd be able to hack the birthday crowd. fabric's really losing its appeal for me too after saturday night (i've just posted about it if you want to spend 10 minutes reading me moaning about things beyond my control)<BR/><BR/>more on topic though - a big thank you for this mix PC. I've heard of and like many of the artists but I've never heard any of the tracks, so I'm looking forward to it immensely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-10751918095846261042008-10-15T23:33:00.000+11:002008-10-15T23:33:00.000+11:00Larry's not known for being a great dj joe.

I was all excited to see him DJing so I went up to the booth to watch his hands and...he was using CDs.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I was being unreasonable, but I truly felt let down and kinda cheated. Just having those decks lying there dormant...and not even being able to watch him cue things up etc...<BR/><BR/>Also it didn't help that the first mix was pretty bad. So I went and watched Kate Simko doing a laptop liveset in Room 2 and it was a way more interactive experience, you could SEE her bringing stuff in and out with her controllers...and I felt like I was watching a performance. It was artful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-67624398703785236692008-10-15T15:56:00.000+11:002008-10-15T15:56:00.000+11:00Thanks for the words, Nik.There's a great piece on...Thanks for the words, Nik.<BR/><BR/>There's a great piece on mixtapes here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.theage.com.au/news/music/tracks-of-the-trade/2006/10/05/1159641457613.html<BR/><BR/>and I wrote about the physical/digital at length here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.bbtp.net/thinking-out-loud-physical-vs-digital/PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828854682227101864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-64417231392817666102008-10-15T07:02:00.000+11:002008-10-15T07:02:00.000+11:00I miss the unique sound at the start of store-boug...I miss the unique sound at the start of store-bought tapes. Sometimes throw them on for purely nostalgic reasons. Also miss sitting by the ole tape player listening to radio shows with my hand over the record/pause button combo waiting for a good tune.Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131215237740135115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-23656683161639667712008-10-15T03:31:00.000+11:002008-10-15T03:31:00.000+11:00I miss homemade mixtapes.

I remember my highschool friends and I exchanging them all the time. <BR/><BR/>With CD-burning technology available to all the process is much easier ... yet, oddly, it's something I don't do anymore. I wonder why. Is it because when I was mucking about with tapes I was a teen/tween, and therefore had more free time and patience? Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, big thanks to Pete for bringing back the spirit of the old-school mixtape!Camhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03798760041491301736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-18874502107344303062008-10-15T03:23:00.000+11:002008-10-15T03:23:00.000+11:00I've got a lot of love for Thomas Dolby, myself.

Matt Johnson is sheer genius at work. Sweet Bird of Truth is a cracker ending.Nikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131215237740135115noreply@blogger.com
