    well, if that dj happened to be - say - q-bert, i bet i'd sure have some
    sort of experience.:)

    then again, if the dj happened to be your regular club dj who does neat beat
    mixing and little gimmicks but not anything that special, no extraordianry
    experiences then..

    myself being a vinyl junkie i just _happen_ to prefer vinyl over cds. vinyl
    seems and feels more "real" to me. then again, i ain't bothered people using
    cds as well as music has quality. and if they aren't people calling
    themselves deejays and playing just compilation cds and cd-r:s containing
    already-released material.

    if any deejay stared using c-cassettes!.. that would rock!:)
