> Well, I'm just upset that he hasn't played in Chicago considering he lives and works here. The only opportunities that I would get to see him is when he plays in Toronto. Is there an explanation why he doesn't play out in Chicago? I interviewed Jeff for Jockey Slut last week (I'll post it to the list soon) and we touched on this subject. Here's what he said (these quotes don't appear in the finished 1400 word piece), which kinda points to an answer to your question. "I suppose that it goes back to the reason why I moved to Chicago in the first place. It was mainly because of the perspectives. There [Chicago] is a location from where I can look at Europe from a distance and Detroit from a distance, and I don't have to run my business from right in the middle of things. So if I want to escape from it I can very simply just not go to my office and I can forget about it. I don't see anyone walking down the street that was at a party I did last night or something like that. I spend more time in Europe than I do in the States, I have family in Chicago and all my family is in the States, but my daughter is in Germany. So I have interests on both sides, you know." "I was not born in the city [Chicago], I moved there from New York and I moved to New York from Detroit, so it was partially out of strategic desire and I found New York to be a little bit too political and difficult to run a very small, simple record company." I love the fact that he refers to Axis as a 'very small simple record company', too! TOM

> Mills only keeps around 300 records, apparently. The rest he chucks away When Dan Curtain had his office here in Cleveland, he was throwing away about 5 crates of plates, I immediately freaked out and took them all... He couldn't understand why I was so into them... weird darw_n "create, demonstrate, toneshift..." http://www.mp3.com/darw_n http://www.sphereproductions.com/topic/Darwin.html http://www.mannequinodd.com

Mills only keeps around 300 records, apparently. The rest he chucks away (literally, obviously!). I've seen him do this tossing over his shoulder stuff as well, and I doubt they are worth keeping anyway after such treatment. Jonny.

jeff sometimes has records in the small of his back/in his pants, under his arms, between his legs... At 8:25 PM +0200 10/3/00, peter mueller wrote: well, i think the only reason for doing so is due to the speed of mixing. it saves a lot of time (but obviously not good for the records).

maybe he has a big pillow down in the bottom and then he has someone
standing back there placing the records in their proper sleeves.
AnywaysI'm just jealous that any of you ever get to see him spin.
I didn't even get to see Richie @ 1015.
damn...only one more year... :|

Re: [313] mills silliness
>>. i thought it was for entertainment purposes...maybe not. I am pretty sure it's that putting the record away is too time consuming, with Mills, that's something that I can understand. So if there indeed a barrel, I'm sure it wasn't to throw records away, more rather it was to contain them for easy recovery after a set... darw_n "create, demonstrate, toneshift..." http://www.mp3.com/darw_n http://www.sphereproductions.com/topic/Darwin.html http://www.mannequinodd.com

RE: [313] mills silliness
yeah that was the event! LOL.no barrel huh?i did really see it(i was sober too). you could only get a glimpse of it from the side balconies. it was probably just a random thing that was on stage and he was just chucking records that skipped into it. funny. unless he has it in his contract, " two turntables, one 909, one large trash barrel" :oD > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2000 12:44 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: Re: [313] mills silliness > > I saw him there in August but I didn't see a barrel
Re: [313] mills silliness
I saw him there in August but I didn't see a barrel
RE: [313] mills silliness
I saw juan atkins do something close to that too...he would take the records out of the sleeves and play them and then toss them on the floor in a pile...2 piles actually. one for the sleeves and one for the vinyl...i wish i had all those records so that i didn't have to take care of my either...it could have been because he was really stoned... jeff > -Original Message- > From: David Gillies [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2000 8:30 AM > To: John Shipman; 313@hyperreal.org > Subject: Re: [313] mills silliness > > > The closest I've seen to this is when I saw DJ Krush a couple of years > back. > On the stage that he was playing on, he had a pretty darn large pile, no > heap, of records, out of their covers, just thrown there in a big heap.

Re: [313] mills silliness
> records. i could swear i saw him finishing a mix and throwing the records in > the barrel more than once. did anybody else see this? i found this quite > amusing, and i want that barrel:) The closest I've seen to this is when I saw DJ Krush a couple of years back. On the stage that he was playing on, he had a pretty darn large pile, no heap, of records, out of their covers, just thrown there in a big heap. He would rummage through them to find what he wanted, and when he was finished playing them, he would just throw them back onto to the floor. Aaargh! It was painful to watch. out. dave.
