Why manufacture scarcity though? What's the interest in that? And is it any coincidence that luxury brands from LV to BMW have also discovered the value of the LTD ED?<BR/><BR/>As for vinyl sales, well, I don't have any figures. I have anecdotal evidence from Melbourne that says: most of the record stores that once were thriving are no more, those that are left are struggling, and most vinyl-using DJs are dependent on mail order, which has become wincingly expensive since the financial implosion. <BR/><BR/>My sense is that the vinyl economy is shifting (not vanishing). Go to second-hand record stores and look in their dollar crate of 90s trance/NRG/prog EPs, and this is an economy which is now MOSTLY digital (and this is a good thing, when you see the piles and piles of grooved dreams made of petrochemicals and become landfill). Groove-based electronic music, which was once predominantly reliant on vinyl, is no longer dependent in this way.<BR/><BR/>People 'getting into vinyl' are now doing it with different motivations. <BR/><BR/>...does anyone else get Beatport heeby-jeebies? I really, really, really don't like anything about the experience. There's something very 'black boxed' about the way they present tracks, themselves, even the way the price varies according to jurisdiction...<BR/><BR/>...but then discogs opens up an opportunity to a world of second-hand records, for those with the means to pay... <BR/><BR/>...but my big question is: what about DJs (or people who want to DJ) who don't have credit cards and can thus neither mail order nor beatport? <BR/><BR/>There's a way in which 'being a DJ' just means having a credit card; far more necessary than turntables...<BR/><BR/>tracklist, credit card number, playlist, popularity, mixed set, tracklist....PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828854682227101864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-35061843480396949502009-01-16T17:03:00.000+11:002009-01-16T17:03:00.000+11:00the first track is Heaven 17 - nice to see he love...the first track is Heaven 17 - nice to see he loves Sheffield ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-46700058801298662512009-01-16T07:04:00.000+11:002009-01-16T07:04:00.000+11:00yeah the armando -> moodymann transition is nii...yeah the armando -> moodymann transition is niiice. didn't expect him to actually be able to mix as well as selct!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278160953930387833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-39164773100720685542009-01-16T02:16:00.000+11:002009-01-16T02:16:00.000+11:00wasn't there just something that came out that sai...wasn't there just something that came out that said vinyl sales are actually way, way up this last year? i think people are getting back to that "there's better shit on wax than there will ever be on beatport" ideal, and most labels are saving the goods for a piece of vinyl instead of blindly throwing them online.<BR/><BR/>hell, there's a litany of limited edition records that are blowing minds right now, and i, too, am on the hunt for them (not digitally, either.) i'm longing for a good trip to europe for gigs so i can troll hardwax and word + sound with close friends.eric cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693995326147972682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-7828460938529530612009-01-15T22:17:00.000+11:002009-01-15T22:17:00.000+11:00wow..deeep mix..always enjoy the moodymann-joint.....wow..deeep mix..<BR/>always enjoy the moodymann-joint..one of the best tracks ever produced!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-86853546249255855812009-01-15T11:47:00.000+11:002009-01-15T11:47:00.000+11:00@ Eric's "my dj instinct kicks in and i just want ...@ Eric's "my dj instinct kicks in and i just want to know / buy!"<BR/><BR/>I don't want to take what you're saying too much in earnest, but all the same, I think it's interesting how DJing as an art and craft is also about knowledge and strategic consumption. But don't you think this has been undermined by the 'net? Gone are the days when the Jamaican soundsystems could compete with white labels exclusive to their system. In fact, a lot of the new vinyl-only, limited-ed stuff is just away of creating a scarcity where none exists any more.<BR/><BR/>...the absurd obverse was Kompakt mp3's sale... 'all stock must go!'<BR/><BR/>...I also wonder how the vinyl economy is going to change over the next five years as it moves even more into the realms of the collector/fetishist...<BR/><BR/>...does this mean that people who have the collector's impulse will be less inclined to DJ? And will people who heretofore were turned off DJing become DJs? It's going to be interesting to see what happens, no?PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828854682227101864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-7777905270034193972009-01-15T08:27:00.000+11:002009-01-15T08:27:00.000+11:00i can understand that feeling of getting my hands ...i can understand that feeling of getting my hands on a track of wich i don´t know anything about. in this case, there aren´t any problems cause i have or know them all...almost. what makes me crazy about this mix is the selection and the mix of certain records. why didn´t i... <BR/> ;-B<BR/><BR/>another thing that i find quite interesting is to get my own records played by a friend of mine who likes digging into the real old ones i didn´t hear for AGES . that made me listen to a lot of great stuff again and combining it with the newer ones in heavy rotation...<BR/><BR/>cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-89088117672212763012009-01-15T05:33:00.000+11:002009-01-15T05:33:00.000+11:00amazing mix.completely feel the same way about thi...amazing mix.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>completely feel the same way about this statement :<BR/><BR/>"I remember the broadcaster chiming in after 30 + minutes as if back from a trance, with ' (smacking of dry lips and rasping intake) and that was Beethoven's String Quartet No. 4 in C minor...

My mum used to do it with classical radio. Massive FM tuner through stereo speakers and the whole house filled with whatever, but she never checked. I remember the broadcaster chiming in after 30 + minutes as if back from a trance, with ' (smacking of dry lips and rasping intake) and that was Beethoven's String Quartet No. 4 in C minor... (long dead air) a lovely piece...' I always loved the silence, the interstice and the announcement, but mum just liked the music. I wonder... who of you 'just listens' to music? I know chris was doing this with live broadcasts from Bar 25. <BR/><BR/>...the reason I'm wondering this is, you know, how much of or cognition of music is our recognition of it... all day I tried to listen to whatever shuffle on my pod came up with WITHOUT LOOKING... but it was nearly impossible. Then when I found out, it was all 'oh yes, of course it was X...'<BR/><BR/>Perhaps this is the relation to techno of the dancer I used to be at nineteen. Didn't know, didn't care, just danced and danced and danced. I don't want that back, but all the same, I wonder what I'm missing by constantly recognising and framing things...<BR/><BR/>thoughts?PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828854682227101864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-51696546612381101562009-01-14T12:49:00.000+11:002009-01-14T12:49:00.000+11:00or if you want to spare yourself the pain of liste...or if you want to spare yourself the pain of listening to the Âme CD then you can hear it in this too:<BR/>http://bassandsuperstructure.blogspot.com/2008/12/contradictions-of-material-life-vol-1.html<BR/>straight after prince, as if in conversation...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-23195600566056986992009-01-14T12:37:00.000+11:002009-01-14T12:37:00.000+11:00eric, i think it's armando-don't take it(thomos ed...eric, i think it's armando-don't take it(thomos edit), which was on ame's fabric cd.Todd Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305280542237392907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-32378867249846206382009-01-14T10:18:00.000+11:002009-01-14T10:18:00.000+11:00the word mong is an underused descriptor imo.and l...the word mong is an underused descriptor imo.<BR/><BR/>and looking forward to the mix.Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391023792426888178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-4804190748434147502009-01-14T03:13:00.000+11:002009-01-14T03:13:00.000+11:00i know we said we wouldn't discuss the tracklist, ...i know we said we wouldn't discuss the tracklist, but that track at 42min. is going to bother me all damn day if i don't remember what it is.<BR/><BR/>someone can e.mail me if they want to keep it secret. <BR/><BR/><BR/>chris...i'm lookin' at you here. ;)eric cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693995326147972682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220957931635097123.post-61021951867531100532009-01-14T02:05:00.000+11:002009-01-14T02:05:00.000+11:00Only getting round to checking out the blog now gu...Only getting round to checking out the blog now guys.
