A bit different..

I cannot say that I started DJing because I hated the stuff local DJs were playing. Dancing in SF 5 yrs ago was a bit like being on the forefront of developing swing music tastes. This is not to say we discovered every good song- but everyone travelled everywhere, and if a good song was discovered e...

Wait, a question I know the answer to.. Yes! I'll give you a perfect example. Paul and Sharon and I were doing a little CD shopping at Amoeba in Berkeley, CA, and I saw a Monty Alexander CD for something like $3. It was a bunch of standards, looked like it could have a couple of winners on it, and a...

I have a winner as far as headphones go, if you can still find them. Koss R/80's are I think the best deal for the money. They were $40 at Dell.com the last time I looked (which was a while ago), but they're a steal at that price. Scratch that, $32 from amazon.com. My favorite feature is that the he...

[Answered] John Brown's Body, Monty Alexander

You played a Monty Alexander song at ALX this year that had at 5 people up at the DJ booth by the end of it. I think I heard you say it was off the "Alexander The Great" LP- is that right? What was the song name? And how'd you get the LP/ who put it on CD for you? Really enjoyed your stuff...
