A friend of mine tells a great story about a local DJ who used to play at
First Ave/7th Street Entry nightclub and other underground events back in
the late 80s and early 90s. This particular DJ had a temper when it came to
technical glitches. Well, one such night a record decided that it wasn't
going to play along - or actually play at all. The record had acquired a
skip that night and this set the DJ off. He did a quick crossfade and
yanked the offending record off the turntable, pulled back, and sent it
flying across the dancefloor like a frisbee. The record hit the floor but
skipped like a stone on smooth water, shooting up into the air until it hit
the back wall of the club and exploded into pieces.
My friend says it was one of the best things he ever witnessed in a
nightclub.

I actually have a much stranger story.
Last New Year's I was playing at a Providence club. It was hard to see so I
lit one of the candles that was on the railing in front of the turntables.
Unfortunately something or someone knocked it onto one of the records and
now there is candle wax in all the grooves.
