SwingDJs

Mind you, I'm not bothered about the investment, but I only have maybe 300 CDs - and no almost Earl Hines, unlike Rayned *sniff* - and I am having a hard time keeping up with my existing collection, much less additions.

like there's not a dj on the board with a whole slim case full of discs that didn't live up to the expectations. hell, i had the new morty show disc for years.

ah, whatever. we all get work, we all get (un)paid. it's neither a good nor bad thing; it's just a thing. it's something we can change if we decide to do so. i see no reason to, however.
