I've gotten in a few arguments about this on a couple of forums already. For the record, I don't know his music or care but... This was taken out of context but no one seems to care because it's much easier to attack someone successful than to put some thought in to the fact that in reality he is just like you or me and was misquoted.

Well it was amazing. I could write a review... I might do a proper one if I get time and motivation. But even if it's not your thing, it's really worth seeing. The precision they have over 10 turntables is amazing. The opening acts weren't hot. Pmoney was fun, Wildchild was really bad. No DJ, and way too much banter about the state of hip hop and how he's real hip hop and who else is real hip hop. I'm sick of artists who are underground telling me how underground they are. And the crowd cheering along because "yeah we are real hip hop too.. and when you say J dilla, well I'm gunna scream because I know who he is". JUST GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT. whinge whinge.

Daz just won. Hard. Real hard. It was the post I wish I could've made. Hard.

So I don't think anyone here is in to that but fuck you guys. I had to choose between them and Diplo on friday (trying to cut back on spending)... and I figure I wont get to see them again, but Diplo will be back soon. Anyone else going?

recording digging for different tunes recording digging recording listening to your old mixes re-recording rinse, repeat

I have the Fostex PM-1 active monitors and the PM-0.5 Subwoofer http://www.storedj.com.au/products/product.php?id=774 http://www.storedj.com.au/products/product.php?id=776 I really like them... they sounded the nicest for the price, and nicer than KRK's that were a few hundred more (to me anyways). I did however get them all for under a grand because all they had was the display setup(at DMC melbourne), which suited me.

yeah. That looks pretty straightforward.

oh yeah... I currently have her computer set up over mt TT's (she has an apple, I have something that's useless) for recording... but when I put it back, she's keen to start doing some things

I'm putting $10 on the aformentioned yellow fever.

I've only ever been past there (on my way to Greville St records). Do they have anything for a DJ who likes anything with a broken beat? I hardly ever make it over that side of the city (one of the reasons white rabbit is my favourite is it's also my local pub.. just a small stagger from home), and I really should make more effort, because Obese, DMC, Greville St and the above are all in close vicinity...

hmm I'll edit and remove

Because that'd be neat to have. I'll post my two favourites to get the ball rolling. Wax Museum - Website: http://estore.waxmuseumrecords.com.au/index.php Info here: (not sure if this is supposed to be used yet, I think it's still in devt) http://estore.waxmuseumrecords.com.au/l ... d54e50e8ac What's there: Hip hop, Funk, Jazz mostly. Some of every other genre, and some great finds to be had. The staff are always pretty helpful and they have a good email newsletter. White Rabbit Records Wesbite: Seems to be screwing up. Avoid it Where is it? Bel Air St Kensington. Right across from the train station (Kensington). It's one stop part Nth Melb on the Craigeburn Line, so hella easy to get to. What's there: Second hand mostly. Some new funk, breaks, house hip hop and the occasional white label or bootleg. Also a bar which serves great cocktails, has a sweet beer garden and good light food. A wicked spot for pre-party drinks. There are regular DJ's too. Mostly laid back vibe.

I was watching TV with the lights off and had my gear on and was all "woah... lights are pretty" I think I can salvage the pics though

I broke my camera whilst high and taking photos of my setup the other night. Way to rub it in my face.

yeah, of course
