You can get a 500GB laptop hard drive for $100 (see here ). Why not just upgrade your laptop's storage and solve the problem entirely? I will preach until the end of time that having an external drive at a gig is a bad, bad, bad idea. I've seen them get unplugged mid-set, dropped, kicked, knocked of...

I think that varying tempo and style and not playing a boring set is a different issue from feeling like you have to play music you don't really enjoy to keep the dancers happy. (Unless, of course, you only like one style and tempo of music, which would be kind of sad since there's so much awesome m...

I often look forward to DJing so that I can play some exciting new music I've just found. When I do play it, the reaction is often disappointing.

Well, it was a busy holiday season and I didn't get the chance to announce episode #5. If you haven't had a listen, sure, it's a little late for 2009, but there's nothing wrong with starting the year with a little reminiscing.

I can legally download equally great songs at less than $0.99/track... Again, I appreciate the work that Glenn is doing, and the samples are indeed awesome, but it's not like Swing DJing is paying my bills, let alone paying for itself.
