Well I'm glad you're admitting that you like it in front of us! :D everyone on here thinks it's rubbish for girls, we only like the KMS testpressing mispress Wizard remix from 1984.

Just searching Eric B & Rakim on youtube practically brought a tear to my eye.

MMS you need the Mike Hitman Wilson mix..... :)

Sorry, didn't mean to be. I really wasn't arguing, just chatting about your experience and mine. I don't have patience with people who base their opinion on what they think is perceived by others as cool, rather than on what actually moves them inside. I don't mean that as an attack on you, but...

Ok so I'm officially an old codger but why can't we have more hip hop like this? and this

Okay. It's just my pet peeve about the distortion. :) Yeah 'course it's allowed. I already admitted it's just my preciousness about what I love and sadness at seeing music I like disappear from clubs and be replaced by music that makes me think the people making it don't even like it...

Well i've met elitist idiots too, on both sides of the atlantic! I just try not to hang out with them.... The other thing that crossed my mind was, if you think Luke Vibert's music is unbearable, why did you go to hear him DJ in the first place? :-/ Maybe it was a speculative trip to check him...

so they dislike the DJ for playing a song they like? i really don't get it at all. All I can say is you must know some bizarrely elitist people. If you like Good Life or LFO then why not just enjoy hearing it? Is DJing about proving you have the most obscure taste / rarest record, or is it...

Awesome and quite right. If you're going to play the piano like Les Dawson, first you've got to ba able to play it like Glen Gould, otherwise it ain't funny. For those who don't know the genius of Les, here he is singing: Can't find a piano clip :( Only in as far as I don't like much of...

People acting like they like dance music but they don't really. Eh? Are we just posting garage producers we like? Anyway, on the original subject, sounds like Straight just booked some rubbish DJs and where they are from is irrelevant. They just don't know their stuff, or else they just have...

I would agree about it being good up to a point. In the end I guess it's not as great as you think it's going to be when you first get into it. Sometimes I thought it would have been better as a straight telling of the fictitious film rather than framing that with Johnny Truant and the diary...

It's gutting isn't it? I grew up on Earth Wind & Fire, Parliament etc, and also UK sould like Linx and Loose Ends and so on. I guess the thing is, people try and make "what sells" so... now that hip hop and electronic RnB are big, it's a self-stoking thingummy where there's no successful black...

Thanks, Zhao, this is awesome.

Saxon / Ghettotone thing is lovely. The reference to "cross your heart bras" took me right back to my youth. is that what they mean by hauntology? ;) Zhao, the gamelan link don't work :(

The Time were the best band in the world. After you've watched that, click on the one that says "Jerk Out" - they are playing live on Saturday night live. It's like a whole gig in one song, totally incredible.

1. Yes, quite right, but equally, what good are a zillion bedroom DJs putting their mixes online when you can go and get a Stanley Clarke album and just listen to it and it will be more enjoyable? I'm just playing with you but you see my point? Comparing great DJs who bring good music to the...

what is ysi?

I'm still being pulled up on things i never said. For the zillionth time, I am not attacking DJing. I have said over and over again that I think it's just as worthwhile DJing as it is making music. As I have already said, I DJ for a living. I make a lot of effort, I have a lot of records, I...

I think you can measure commitment and effort in hours. No more or less of a waste of time than the whole message board.

I agree with you as far as these special cases you detailed are concerned, and I never said anything contrary to this. I just said that I think it takes more commitment, effort, skill to be a good musician than it does to be a good DJ. I think this uncontroversial and I think you said you agree...
