SwingDJs

Funny, I was going to see if I could get a set at PLX...

Buy it! I just did, pretty much for one song (well, okay, after having sampled some other tracks), and it's friggin awesome. It's good to hear, Ryan, that you choose its versions for DJing--though a lot of the tracks are new to me, it's always nice to know that repeat tracks won't go to waste on a n...

You click once to start and click again on the 7th beat and it tells you the bpm. They're a bit pricey, but could be well worth the money. I'd previously been counting like a doctor takes a pulse and doing the math in my head. I kept having to wait for my count of "1" to fall at the begin...

I voted no (wish it were a less weighted option), because I agree with Jesse that such stuff really belongs on other boards. Of course, I'm keeping my resulting avatar for a while, but a witty post really did devolve there... I think one reason I read SwingDJs more frequently than any board but my h...

I, too, am ready for bed.

Take that as you will.

God, how I was hoping that wouldn't get mentioned...

I suppose this board, like they all do, was destined to get a boobs thread at some point.

Well, it's still not Yehoodi.

I thought it was against any swing-era-music lover's credo to somehow end up getting action at a lindy event.

Or, at least, that's the story I've been consoling myself with...

Educating yourself about any genre of music will either make you love it or hate it. Usually if it's self-education, you can only keep it up because you come to love it. Often at the expense of not taking the time to bother to listen to stuff you used to listen to all the time. A lot of my old mix C...

You mean your daddy bought your boobs, don't you?

I heard you just got out of a training bra.

Yeah...this part of the Sennheiser site seems to be what I'm looking at. Wonder if I can find some free consumer reports online or something to get at which one's the best.

Hmmmm...okay. Olivier's that I tried, though, were the kind that sit outside your ear. Which is nice because I don't really like in-ear headphones, and it's sanitary to let someone else listen to what you're playing. But I'll take suggestions on both styles.

Lightweight (i.e. not the padded sound-blocking kinds...but more the kind you use with a discman) I don't want to spend hundreds...but how much is it going to cost me to get a step or two above the sound quality of the ones that come with your average discman? I got the chance to listen to some on O...

Yeah, similar system.

Right now my markings are in pencil, with the track # circled if you can lindy to it.
The circle gets thicker/heavier the more the song makes me feel like I have to dance.

to change the subject... I didn't want to start a whole new thread for this question, so "How to DJ right" seemed like a reasonably close place to put my question. You know how when you start lindy hopping, you get dizzy after about 3 swingouts in a row? And eventually you can dance a son...
