3 Things About DJ Stuffs
1) I love Theo Parrish. He said this:

"In fact, now you could go and download a whole record collection and then go get Final Scratch and be the best DJ in the world. But I’ll tell you this: if I walk into a party, and I know a jock has access to his whole collection to be able to bring to the party, I’m gonna walk outta there crying and be, like, two inches taller or two inches shorter or sumthin’. To me, that’s bypassing the necessary suffering for an art form and hyeah, records are clumsy, they’re fragile, they take up space. Yeah you can damage ‘em. Yeah you gotta clean ‘em and yeah – guess what? – after a time they will wear out and you won’t be able to use ‘em again. But that’s how it is. That’s what it’s about. People are making it far too easy. Far too easy."

Also, if you have never listened to "Solitary Flight," go download that now.

2) In related news, I am in the process of transfering the entirety of my record collection into the digital domain. Once I am finished, I will never use a turntable to mix records again (hopefully). I'm excited! Ableton Live is the greatest thing ever.

3) Also, rave music is coming back! This is welcomed news, because everyone desperately needs to stop doing cocaine and getting dumb haircuts. Witness Trevor Jackson's brillant new Playgroup remix of The Gossip's "Standing in the Way of Control."

Now if I could only find that old Frankie Bones tape from high school...
