Wow, last night was a big deal. If my old friend Dan reads this, he is going to freak. I actually got rid of nearly all of my records last night (GASP!) Now I know most of you are probably thinking "CD's he means CD's" No, I mean records, 12" records... the kind that fill up crates in the spare bedroom of your house and require air conditioning so that they don't warp, and the kind that are the life's-blood of any respectable DJ. I really used to pride myself in my record collection... and no I didn't have anything that you would have wanted (all but you DW!)
It was bad enough when I got rid of my 1200's (lingo for Technics 1200's, or turntables) a few years ago, but I just haven't been able to part with the records... too many memories. Even still, as I sorted through the stacks and stacks and crates upon crates until the wee hours of the morning, I could look at a record and tell you how it started, how it ended, and what speed it was.. just from seeing the graphic on the center label.
I have to admit though, looking at those records was like seeing some old friends. Josh Wink and Public Enemy... wow what a classic. George Acosta, DJ Icey, the Crystal Method, and a billion artists that just went away after that one smash club hit. You guys will be missed. Oh wait, I guess that is why I have them on my iPod now! WOO HOO!
