Lowered Expectations

My last week Of freedom before heading back to OK for Xmas.  Didn't get much playing in.  Just kinda...did other things.  Actually went out both friday and saturday night which is unusual, and means that I was worthless saturday and now sunday as I type. So here I sit, no new mixes to tracklist.  Whelp, let's make sure all the old ones are done.  They're not, and some of them I can't remember the tracks!  Chesus.  I've purchased more music in the last 3 months than probably the 5 previous years od DJ'ing combined.  This digital thing makes it easy.  Which, honestly, it has to be.  Cuz there's so much music I know longer know every track by song and artist off the top of my head. Tomorrow at least one new track comes out that I'm excited about so there WILL be mixing this week, and since I know I'm going to be trapped in OK for a whole week I won't forget the damn power cord for my controller so I can spin the following.  It mightt be m

Back to our regularly scheduled programming It's sunday, and I'm back in my starbucks writing this blog and tracklisting my mixes.  Ahhh...normality.  At least for a moment.  I'm headed back to the parental district for Xmas so there might be an interruption...OR my dumb ass could remember my goddamn power cord for my controller this time, and I can play a bunch while I'm up there. Anyway, two mixes this week.  They're both kinda meh.  Good tracks, but I'm still trying to get my ear balance back so I trainwreck momentarily once in a while.  I guess you know that I'm a real dj, then?  No beatmatching aids here! I got my new American DJ megabar 50 RGB RC .  This is pretty decent light for the price.  It's insanely light, has power outlets in and out (for daisy chaining other devices) DMX input, sound active mode, AND a little remote control for changing programs if you don't have a DMX controller.  Not bad. The light output isn't as much

Turkey day interruption

Welp, I have nothing terribly interesting to report this week, and yes I realize my post is late.  I spent all day Sunday driving back from Oklahoma.  Not much time to stop and spit out a blog post.  My dumb ass forget the power cord for my midi controller so I didn't spin this week.  I did manage to scrounge up a few tracks from beaport, AND scored myself a 50% off coupon, so I'll probably knock down a few things off the any.do list to throw together a new mix now that I'm home. Oh, and on black friday I ordered an american DJ mega 50 RGB light.  50 LEDS in red, green, and blue that I can use as a wash or a color changer to the music.  If it works like I think it will, I'll get a second one: one to point at the dance floor, and one to illuminate the DJ booth.
