something i was thinking about whilst walking...

[noleafclover_nw]

so this is mainly directed at denali_99755 and nickdiscredit, but anybody (that has relevant advice) can chime in if they really deem it necessary.

the set-up: i'm bored as hell and, essentially, to the point where i'll try anything. for sometime i've had spinning stuck in the back of my mind as you two have both had a damn good go at it (and hopefully neither of you are

in order to mix records, you need:

two or more technics sl1200 turntables with slipmats
dj cartridges for the turntables (they retail without needles)
a dj mixer of some sort with at least two channels (umm, i guess otherwise it wouldn't be a 'mixer') and a crossfader
headphones that produce decent bass (probably) and block outside sound well
records.

soulcrushingly poor is probably not the best place to be if you are about to start djing, sadly. it is an expensive hobby.

then you embark upon the long and somewhat soul-crushing process of learning to beatmatch, which, if you are me, you will then throw away entirely and spin ambient (not entirely true).

I know nothing about spinning.

But...

I was talking about you last night, so I wanted to say hi. I met up with James in San Fran, and (not surprisingly) you came up in the "so what do you know of people we both know" conversation. That's all.

I hope you're well. I like you. I'm glad we're friends.
