It's such a toss up these days to decide what records I'm gonna buy. At one end of the spectrum, there are so many tracks that I've heard over the years that I'd love to spin, yet I have others saying, "man...why don't you play NEW records, if you don't play or buy new records, no one gets to hear the progression of techno as a whole when you play a gig".

So...since I'm not rich, it's a hit or miss thing for me. I listen to old sets all the time, and would love to own a bunch of those classic recs. that I missed out on...yet I want to be up to date and have the new records so I don't sound "played out".

With that said, when I make a new mix, it sucks to think that if I put a bunch of older records on the mix that other people have had for years...even though they're new purchases to me, snobs will look at the tracklisting, and say..."ha...been there".

Such is life.
