I think of it more as affirming than depressing. Sure, it highlights the things I/we hate about the state of global DJ culture, but it also tells me I've been doing the right things. That gives me hope.

Seconded! Even if you're a minimal DJ. If it's good enough for Ricardo, it's good enough for you. A'men.

Although it's never happened to me personally, I'm told by people who know that catastrophic HD failures are a common occurance. I would hope that you don't often get mates' brothers urinating on your vinyl. Actually, apart from the sleeves, I'd be surprise if urine would adversely affect the...

In terms of number of songs, given that the average 12" (at least in my collection) contains 3 tracks, that's approximately equivalent to 120 FLACs. Everything involves a trade-off; the records weigh quite a bit and take up space, but they'll never be lost to a hard drive crash or viral...

After sleeping on it, I've realized that my response was missing one crucial point... ...$600 will buy one hell of a lot of records. I'm paying on average $16CAN (shipping included) from Juno. That's ~40 records for your $600US. Don't give up on wax. Mp3 is already on the downslope of it's...

They are on this side of the pond. A complete Serato suite (minus the laptop, of course) runs about $600US, whereas two (2) CDJ800s will run upwards of $1600US. I agree with Martin and Droid, Serato/Traktor maintains the skill set required for vinyl DJing while accessing all that is digital...

YES!!! You just named the only two DC regulars that ever really grabbed me. I've often thought it was a pity that Fate never really got a properly written arc the way so many other "re-invented" characters have.

The only two nominees that sound any good to me are burial and Neon Neon. I have to say that the idea of a concept album based on the life of John DeLorean appeals to me a great deal. Is it any good?

blasphemer!!!

Runs on batteries. No crossfacer, tho.

Worst movie I've seen in a while was "The Happening". Apparently, acting means knitting one's brow for Mark Wahlberg and buggin one's eyes out for Zoey Deschanel. Having said that, I don't know how they delivered some of that dialogue with a straight face. M.Night needs to drop one of his...

http://dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=6431 I'm using Beyerdynamic DJX1s at the moment, but that seems to be a bit more than you're looking to spend. I've heard good things about the Audio Technica ATH-M30s. Looks like they're about £50.

I got caught last night by this: http://download.zonealarm.com/bin/free/pressReleases/2008/LossOfInternetAccessIssue.html This is the second time something like this has happened to me. I really have to be more careful about researching the Windows Updates before I install them.

OTM. Not only do Presonus make fantastic gear, but Firewire is a far better conduit than USB as well.

So, I'm in the process of building a proper website and I'm looking for design ideas. I'm shooting for something that's quick to load and nice to look at. I am *not* a fan of flash-y sites. Regardless of actual content, what are the best site designs around?

Last Call... The Third Round of the Dissensus Cassette Swap closes on May 3, 2008 at 12:00am GMT. Despite a promising start with a record number of international participants, this round seems to have encountered a similar dearth of reviews as seen in the first round. What is the cause of...

How about Allanah Currie (Thompson Twins), Gunnar & Matthew Nelson, and Asia Argento?

In an effort to lighten it up around here, Chef Napalm presents the following for your consideration. http://www.gbh.tv/music.videos/utahsaints/somethinggood08page.html I am totally stealing those dance moves.

So, what do I do about it? How does one adjust for low bitrate files? Good tip.
