what fabio says there is what i thought first of all when i realised what was going on. but over the last year my thoughts have changed alot. i don't totally agree but i do sort of.

i see his point about not feeling like you're working, not feeling real. coming in with a cd pouch really doesnt feel like work. or being real. half of this whole djing thing for me has been about carrying that god-damn bag everywhere for years. but hey, perhaps we should see it as a good thing that we don't have to carry the bag, but i just cant.

i love technology. i hate cd's. i feel great spinning records. i feel fake spinning cd's. i want the real product, i want to have searched hard on the net, i want to buy it and wait 3 days for it to come, and then open the package and smell it. listen to it. i also want to take a quick journey to my local record shop, chat shit to the guy behind the counter and laugh at everyone's jokes.

vinyl will not die. it's gonna take me a long time to get used to the changes, i'm really trying hard, but i think there are always gonna be those of us that love the real deal.
