SwingDJs

It's my theory that most of the people in a dance scene don't truly care about the music, and only go with the flow, they think they do though... Id say a good 99% of lindy hoppers dont really care what they dance to. They just want to dance and have fun. However, the viscous circle of Djs not play...

its bad ass!!!! the dude plays so fast that he lights jelly rolls cigarette on the strings on the piano and hands it to him

There is an INCREDIBLE cutting contest in this movie called "The Legend of 1900" here is the link on
IMDB

Its between this fictional character whose name is 1900 and Jelly Roll Morton, it is dope.

I feel like if there's no tuba or washboard, or if there's no organ nobody's interested. actually its more like, if there is a Hilary Alexander involved, nobody is interested. don't get on your high horse about people caring about swing when you ruin perfect songs by adding a vocalist that sucks th...

My favorite song done by Claude Hopkins is "Church Street Sobbin Blues" off of the Monkey Business album on Hep Cat.

Lets pretend like we have all been asked to put together a compilation of our own. You get 13 tracks! List out your perfect 13 track lindy hop compilation complete with title etc.

I wish my daddy had worked for a record label so i could put out my own compilation. *pouts out of jealousy* I personally wont buy the album, but i think its cool that people got together and did something like this. i wish there were more opportunities like this for people in the lindy hop communit...

I'm still seeing quite a few DJs out there using iTunes. Is there any way to use two sound cards, one for previewing, one for the sound system with iTunes? I think I'm going to have a big problem giving up the awesome iTunes database setup. I'll do PCDJ if I have to, but I think we're going to have...

I've also been keen on Sidney Bechet's recording of Shake It and Bake It off the Ken Burns Jazz series. "Shake it and Break it" was by: http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/pic200/drP500/P557/P55780HT9FO.jpg "Shake it and Bake it" was by: http://www.falty.com/images/shake.jpg

Im a sellout too and have been djing off of my laptop for 6 months now.

I have never had any problems with freezing, or having to reboot or anything crashing. Of course, I use a powerbook g4.

Just doing some research - the trans-atlantic flight was in 1927. Doesn't that pre-date what is commonly accepted as Lindy? I think ol' Snowden was bowing smoke up some reporter's ass or it's just a name like any other thing people do, like the Hucklebuck. Kalman Nope, 27-28 is around the year the ...

Totally awesome CD. I have had it for a while and really like it and the other stuff i have by him. Whats really fun is to buy the short Double Film called Jazz Dance\AfterHours. It has great dancing by Al Minns and Leon James, plus great jam sessions one that includes Willie The Lion! He can play m...
