    my single speed was stolen from my backyard in venice and after 5 years with the simple beauty decided to get a vintage touring bike. got this peugeot pkn10 from a guy in my neighborhood garage kept hardly ridden. needs cages and adjustments want to upgrade wheels eventually. fell of it on my first ride in the middle of an intersection trying some high tech cornering which explains the road rash.

    working at wasteland in santa monica some days come say hi!

  2. thats whats up. ive only spent a few minutes in amoeba and my mind was blown. its nuts how much wild shit pops up deep in crates even in a little mountain town like where im at. listening is all it takes to find good records

    Word! it's incredible.. I was working in electronica/house and the used vinyl we used to stock had been warehoused since early mid 2000's so I'd be pulling crisp metro areas not to mention a lot of other records I was looking for from there. When you start working there they give you training on what to do if ppl come in and have a seizure from over stimulation.

  3. Meh, I can't even get most of the records I want to play on vinyl because they don't exist in that format. I'm guessing you do hip hop? I've been using Traktor for about 5 years, most of the stuff I want to drop tends to be unreleased dubplates because it's the only stuff people aren't sick of already. No way I'm waiting til the EP is released on vinyl (if ever) and shipped to my house. Usually bring a backup USB or CDs in case my laptop shits the bed so i can just switch to pure CDJs, though.

    I have some friends that DJ on vinyl, it's cool to see once but the problem is that unless you're dirty rich, you invariably end up playing the same tired-out shit after awhile. There's an event around here that's the same fucking drum and bass tracks every week because they use vinyl. Hip-hop and scratch DJing is a totally different game, though, and not what I'm talking about.

    your view on the culture seems to be from a very narrow perspective..

    if you can't find the records, you're listening to the wrong music/on the wrong tip.

    if you're trying to spin the rare soundcloud mixes or bandcamp edits vinyl aint for u.

    after working the bins at amoeba I know good records can be found at good prices.

    have you been looking? learning? expanding?

    don't play much hip hop anymore mostly play house/techno/italo/minimal..

  4. my friend on facebook regurgitated some stand up line about the first world problem of having to select a language when using an atm machine in the united states.. probably a dane cook moment.

    hating obvious white people humor my hatred began to surge and the realization that what comes out of the atm and what has to be done to obtain it is the largest problem of any world of all time.

  5. yeah it is, thanks! I agree with the vocals John Strucel who is an artist and producer recorded and mastered our demo and he seems to gravitiate towards clean guitars and vocals.. there's much more feedback and distortion on the guitars and filtering on the vox during live performance.

    the singer is also our good buddy who sings in the detroit diamonds, me and the guitarist were in the detroit birds. played our first show on 9/11 in back home with rzl dzl, build and destroy and others.

  6. Are you talking about laptop DJs as in straight off the laptop (fuck that), or do you mean Serato or Traktor where they're using real equipment but feeding in the tunes from a laptop? I do not want to burn all my songs to CDs before a DJ gig just to get some street cred or whatever.

    If you've paid your dues carrying vinyl on buses, planes, cabs or cars, learned the ins and outs of the records you've collected over the years and are respected for doing so, feel free to apply your talents to serato etc, til then hang the mp3j!
