| Holy Long Time No Post Batman! |
[04 Sep 2009|11:51am] |
Ack! Too many Social Sites...so many postings, so many places to post, so little time!
Things are pretty good Dj wise --- I can still get vinyl, albeit via the UK, but, the price isn't bad, and they ship quick, so I'm ok.
Playing around now with different DVS systems, and will be plunking down bucks to get some CDJ400's very soon. That's what ya need.
Been spinning a bunch at Liberty Bar in Philly (will be there again Saturday Sept 12)
This Monday, Labor Day, I'll be at Hang Free in Fairmount Park...come join us if your in town!

| Vinyl, Cd, Mp3 Oh My! |
[04 Feb 2009|10:11pm] |
Oh wacky day!
For the first time in over 1o years, I have not record shopped every week!
Ok, Watts closed about 2 years ago, so I started dealing mainly with dancerecords.com...then suddenly in September, Bam, they stopped stocking any new records.
Argh!
There's a cool place called Vital Vinyl, and a distributor that I can
open an account with in NY that has loads. But, $$$$$$$ is tight baby.
Damn.
I wants moar vinyls!
I'm '''this''' close to buying my first digital track -
good lord there's a lot of music out there.
I need a little device I can clip on my belt & hook into an ear, and it just keeps playing track after track 24/7. Then I would have to click a little button that would mark a track I like to review for purchase later, 2 clicks would put it right in my basket.
There ya go - a constant steady supply of new tunes.
I am still going to buy and play vinyl tho :D
It's like that old Girl scout song,
"Make new friends, but keep the old...one is silver and the other is gold."
So, where can I get this fantastic device for doing the work?
Is there anything out there that can play an assortment of music files?

| Hopping off the Target train |
[04 Mar 2008|07:04pm] |
ok, it took perhaps a few years too long, but I am officially off the Target train. Realising that I don't need their brand of cool, the doodads, etc - and the stores are getting TOO big, they keep building these giant ones now with tons of frozen and refrig food, wtf.
What really sealed it for me was this past week I went in for a few things (with my 10% off coupon)some dogbones, red bull (yes, they have that one good at 5.99 usually)...while waiting in line at the first of 3 Targets I'd vist that night, (I wanted a camera and a boom box)there was a lady in front of me with a conveyer belt full of JUNK - $244 worth of junk, really. She mentioned that she should wait till her coupon comes,that it was probly at home now, zomg - I saw all that disposable crap and said, that's it for me here....but,
---i really liked the display boombox, a Phillips, but none in stock, the guy used his electronic gizmo to see if other stores had it, yes, 3 at another store...ok, also all the dig cameras under $140 were out of stock....so on to the next store, no cameras, no boomboxes....so I thought I'd try the third one since it wasn't that far, no cameras, no boomboxes....the salesman said, "you should go to Best Buy". Yes indeed.
Buh Bye Target.

YO Yo yo -

It's going to be video as well...ooohhhh...heeheehee!
I'm thinking to keep it to my usual 2 hours...
that can be a bit long sometimes, so hopefully I can have guests come on the second hour frequently soon (as soon as our addition is finished....
our drywall guy keeps dissapearing...we are sooooo close!)
Anyhows, details on how to tune in, etc will be forthcoming...
I'm joining a great group a Dj's :)
In other news...I am wayyy to much into reading Perez Hilton and TMZ...altho there are signs of a slowdown, thanks god...i was going on Brittney overload...and no, i'm not going in to That mess...zomg, yes, i saw the vma 'performance'
brrrr...getting colder here...dam, summer over so soon! and it took awhile for it to begin this year as well. I'm really looking forward to finally getting started on re-doing the kitchen here...i love to cook, it's like dj'g, mixing the ingredients....we had amazing steaks for dinner that I had some dry rub soaking in for awhile, i seared them up good, just a center line of nearly red...yum. some broc & cauliflower, and a quik but tasty rice dish made with 1 sack of instant brown rice and i packet knorrs vegetable soup mix that had been soaking to rehydrate, and i added some butter and olive oil to that when i heated the mixture up before pouring it into and mixing it with the rice. a glass of Pinot Noir, and, yer off!

[19 Jul 2007|05:15pm] |
Dear Amy -
What are you doing?
If you didn't want to sing for people, then why did you start, because now that we have heard you, we want more....
You have an amazing, wonderful and very rare gift - you have raw, soulful deep talent...you just do. Please accept your gift.
I'm sorry you have problems...most people do......and yes, many artists do use drugs and alchol to tame thier inner demons, and to release thier creativity - in moderate amounts, it can help...but too much...
I hope you get your shiznet together, 'cause I think you are one of the worlds greatest soul singers. Just in case you die early tho, I'm gonna pick up all the records and remixes of your stuff I can cause it's gonna be worth a lot of moolah.
sincerly,
me

Back in the groove: young music fans ditch downloads and spark vinyl revival
· Sales of 7in singles rise by 13% in first half of year
· New bands and collectors turning to old format
Katie Allen, media business correspondent
Monday July 16, 2007
The Guardian
The format was supposed to have been badly wounded by the introduction of CDs and killed off completely by the ipod-generation that bought music online.
But in a rare case of cheerful news for the record labels, the latest phenomenon in a notoriously fickle industry is one nobody dared predict: a vinyl revival. Latest figures show a big jump in vinyl sales in the first half of this year, confirming the anecdotal evidence from specialist shops throughout the UK.
It comes as sales of CD singles continue to slide - and it is not being driven by technophobic middle-aged consumers. Teenagers and students are developing a taste for records and are turning away from the clinical method of downloading music on to an MP3 player.
The data, released by the UK's industry group BPI, shows that 7in vinyl sales were up 13% in the first half, with the White Stripes' Icky Thump the best seller.
Two-thirds of all singles in the UK now come out on in the 7in format, with sales topping 1m. Though still a far cry from vinyl's heyday in 1979, when Art Garfunkel's Bright Eyes alone sold that number and the total vinyl singles market was 89m, the latest sales are still up more than fivefold in five years.
For record stores, the resurgence has meant a move from racks of vintage Rolling Stones and Beatles releases to brand new singles and younger buyers. "The student population seem to be loving the 7in," says Stuart Smith, who runs Seismic Records in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. He sells 300-600 records a week and is preparing to launch an online store.
"I'm still not sure about the MP3 generation. You can have a full hard drive and nothing to show for it. Record collections are very personal. You can view into a person's soul really," he says.
The customers rummaging through racks at his store, a small room above a skate shop, are students and DJs.
When Mr Smith opened the vinyl shop in early 2005, digital download sales were rocketing and, amid rampant piracy, global music revenues were several years into their current downward spiral.
A shop selling LPs and 7in singles didn't sound like the most promising business plan. But when his employers at the local outlet of music chain Fopp - now closed down - decided to stop selling vinyl it was something he couldn't resist.
"I just couldn't understand why they decided to turn their backs on it. I saw an opportunity to do something I love doing. I've been a collector myself for years," says the 31-year-old. "It's just one of things. It just felt right."
Two years on, the White Stripes' Icky Thump has just notched up the highest weekly sales for a 7in single for more than 20 years. Retailers and record labels put the rising vinyl sales down to bands rediscovering the format and to music fans' enduring desire to collect. It's not unusual for fans to buy a 7in but have nothing to play it on, says Paul Williams at industry magazine Music Week. "It's about the kind of acts that have very loyal fan bases that want everything to do with that act," he says. "They maybe will buy the download to listen to, but they get the vinyl to own. It's looked at like artwork."
HMV agrees that vinyl is back from the brink, and the chain has been rapidly expanding its record racks to meet rising demand. The group's Gennaro Castaldo cites the huge popularity of "indie" bands, such as Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys, which enjoy loyal followings among teenagers and students, especially during the summer festival season.
"Labels have realised that it's cool for bands to release their music on vinyl, especially in limited edition form, which makes it highly collectible," he says.
London company Art Vinyl has built a whole business out of the format's visual and tactile appeal by selling easy-to-open frames to display records and their sleeves.
For fans, buying and owning a record can provide a welcome change from the anonymity of online downloads, says Art Vinyl's founder Andrew Heeps. "If you go into a record shop to buy something, you feel part of something," he says. "The fact that last year we sold over 9,000 frames to people says an awful lot about where the market is going."
Cara Henn, a DJ and regular Seismic Records customer says going to the store puts her in touch with her peers and has hammered home the vinyl trend. "I've really been getting back into my vinyl. I love it," she says. "I like to hear crackling, as if it's actually real. Especially with drum'n'bass, DJs are really encouraging fans to buy vinyl."
