on one hand, the relief of not carrying about 80+ extra lbs while traveling is understood BUT personally, I have to side with the artform arguement.
Seeing a set being pieced together with records and the DJ making the set come together is part of the thrill and artform. It seems we're getting too comfy with this laptop thing- as in the same vein with live PAs. to compare it to art, lets say. its the difference between watching a painter mix the paints and seeing the painting come together with the brush strokes piecing together a visually pleasing result. or watching a painter taking already prepaired elements and just taping them properly to the canvas. blahblahblahitsmonday diana --- stuffed bird <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > And even then... > > Same reason why I refuse to play any CD's applies > here as > well.
