Don’t mind the crappy intro, it gets better after a couple of seconds in.

I don’t know why people keep saying that the record store is dead, I went record-diving just yesterday (found some odd compilation CD with singles from Tip Records <3 ), and whilst, sure, the place might not be crawling with DJs (most of their visitors are hipsters or audiophiles), the place is going pretty strong, and they have a *huge* amount of Vinyl… I can only lament that I do not own a turntable :c

At the moment, I don’t think I know someone who could be called “mentally ill”. I did, however, have a brief relationship with a girl who I suspect (she wouldn’t tell me) had something close to bipolar syndrome, she appeared to be really distress for seemingly no reasons, cut her wrists, and was on antidepressants (I hear this is fairly common in some parts of the world, but around here, I’d say it’s not).

I think that relationship was one of the most trying times in my recent years, not because she wasn’t “normal”, but it isn’t easy seeing someone you care for suffer that way.

As someone in your thread on DJTT said, this “mess” puts you in a good light. From the promoters point of view, you will be the one who came prepared, mixed properly, and knew what they were doing. If I was in your seat, I’d not hesitate to contact said promoter again.

As a ‘Reason’ for his Belief That ‘He’ Is The Second Coming – No Comment

He does come off as very arrogant, especially considering that he (supposedly) said this as well:

“I love the fact that ppl don’t think I am mixing cause I’m not wearing headphones all the time .. I play 160 gigs a year , and have dj’d for 15 years . Just cause someone is doing something different doesn’t mean that its fake .. I think all of u who think so should stop being such haters and come see for yourself .. I play the same records everyday I don’t need to listen to what I do .. Its my party trick and respect that instead of hating on it . If u doubt it come in the both or try do it yourself before u judge !! Ok .. Nuff said .. SA”

To be honest? It seems a bit shifty to me, like they’re using some loophole in intellectual property law, I mean, they can’t possibly have license agreements with *every* label out there, that’s absurd. Just look at the problems Spotify got into with some major labels, that resulted in a couple of artists being pulled from the service.
