Cool interview...
AMEN! Glad someone gets it.
But don't bother listening to the mix. Unfortunately, it's not that good.
Talking about that time of my life makes me want to point out something: There's something about this new DJ era that I dearly miss: The record shops. I love the new digital formats and I find the new wares people are experimenting with for DJing to be very exciting... but there is an aspect that we have not devised a proper substitute for: The human interaction. For me, this is such an important aspect of the music community- going down to the shop and talking/learning about records once a week. There is nothing like "new record day." There is a tradition of movements throughout time—infectious dialogs that spread throughout regions and decades via arts communities and human interaction. People used to talk about Vienna hundreds of years ago the same way they discuss Detroit now or New Orleans a hundred years ago or so with guys like Scott Joplin. It's a visceral aspect to musicianship that is as crucial to good evolution as playing well. There is something new and different going on with weblogs and digital downloading and, while we defintely have a bright future, we can't just erase all our previous methodology. We need to mix them together for the best results. Damn! I sound like an old man and I'm only 33 ha ha ha. Anyway, vinyl is cool.

They were nearly always right !
