SwingDJs

So reading the results of Mr DJ 5x5 prompted me to wonder how selective people were in creating their DJ Book. Well after that experiment, I realized I wasn't very selective at all. It spurred me to organize all the music I own, (swing, jazz or whatever) and eventually reorganize my books. I really...

Stupid me forgot that it was on and watched football. Oh well... thanks for the reminder.

I think it would have been easier for me to roll a d20 than to figure out Roy's mathematical CD configuration. :) Anyway, here goes nothing...

Not just the singers, but the musicians, arrangers and leaders, the only problem is some of the stuff is almost impossible to get down here! I guess I'll have to save up my pennies and go online and search 'em out. Got a gr...

I think that's my fault... just wanted a little estrogen shot, since I've been surrounded by the fellas who DJ here a lot. It can be bit... interesting... at times.

I don't hate it either. Will play it if I feel like it, and will most likely play it if someone requests it. But it is now getting to the point that if you admit that you like a song deemed "overplayed" that you have to join a 12 step group or something. What I find funny is that everyone ...

Cool. I like the Violent Femmes and everything, but I'd want the version on the Jetsons!
