Re: Your Tastes
So I'm just curious how everyone's tastes have changed while being a DJ. I've noticed three things happening with me... 1. I'm listening less and less to the popular, Top 40 trash that's on the radio and TV (is there anyone who still plays videos? don't know, don't have cable). I'm just not interes...

Re: why does everyone hate Louis Prima?
Since it seems we've established that no, we all don't hate wade in the water, I thought I'd try my hand with Louis Prima. I have had the Capitol Collector's Series since Big Night came out (it was super cheap at Costco then) and have loved the CD. I started out spinning from it quite a bit, but as...

The Science of BPMs
This is probably a dumba$$ question, but here goes... If a CD doesn't list the BPM of a particular song, how do you figure it out? Are you people just counting or do you have metronomes beside your beds or something? I really don't have an "ear" for this sort of thing... I don't know how s...

I recall some DJs spinning 2-3 versions of Moten Swing in relatively rapid succession at the last SFLX. Perhaps the song is a little tired, but under the right circumstances it can still delight everyone involved. Jesse, Manu and I did this on the last night of SOFLEX with Moanin'. After hearing 3 ...

The other thing I have found helpful, especially if you feel it's an important gig, is to prepare a little. I go through my book when preparing for a set and write down songs I think might fit the theme or mood of the night; I don't necessarily play all of them, but if I get stuck or panic in the m...
