OK, I finally read up on all the posts. If a few people are ignorant enough to bash Willie, not much I can say for them. If you don't like Willie, you are missing out. There is a lot more to music appreciation than swing and jazz. I have about 15 or so Willie CDs at home, seen him many times, he tot...

Re: who's going to win?
I've heard through the grapevine that each DJ will have 15 minutes to show off their best stuff, then after everyone has spun the winner gets to DJ the rest of the evening. Anyone care to confirm this? I thought the concept sounded silly to begin with. Now, I really feel that way. How many songs ca...

Favorite Records Stores, online or brick and mortar
Occasionally, I see links and references to places that you can find particular recordings. I thought it would be a good idea to set up a thread where we could list good sources for music.

As a DJ, I get tired of overplayed songs. It always a lot of fun to play the stuff that is newer to my collection. But, there are worse things than playing a few every set. A lot of dancers really appreciate those overplayed songs. Usually, people will request certain songs and that fills the overpl...

Re: Why are all the DJs male?
Mary Grabhorn will be moving here in July. At that point, Austin will have a female DJ.Lawrence wrote:There are no female DJs in Austin, and only a few nationwide that I know of. Why?

Austin's local alternative weekly newspaper, the Austin Chronicle included an article about Bix last week. I thought it would be a good fit for this thread. Please note, the commentary of the author is not my commentary. Nathan A Little Late, For Bix BY MICHAEL VENTURA Austin Chronicle May 16, 2003:...
