I gotta co-sign on turntable lab. Thats my sh*t right there. Everything from record cleaner and sleeves, to fresh t-shirt prints and graffiti books. Shit, even wax.


I'd like to share one, though i'm a bit reluctant... oh well..

The classical music thing is cool.I just dropped like $400 on season tickets to the local Symphony Orchestra.I went about a week ago and I was blown away at what I was hearing.Also a good tool(If your of age) is to go to the local bar's(Usually older sports bars) and just drop like $10-$15 in the jukebox and pick out songs by artist that you have never heard of.If you hear something you like make a note of it and keep going.I do this every night just about I usually throw on some music and shoot pool and have a beer or ten.The spot I'm hitting tonite has a jukebox full of mostly 70's and 80's rock,pop and elctro stuff.When Alchemist/Mobb Deep used that Thomas Dolby song "She blinded me with science" I knew instantly the first time I heard the Mobb version on the radio where the sample came from.I've also heard stuff in the jukeboxes that I know was sampled(Ususally by DJ Premier or Timband)that when you go look at the linear notes the sample was not listed...Also I had some folks that had a negative attitude towards it but there are millions of very useable samples to be had off the internet I won't name sites persay but don't knock it till you try it.They don;t even have to be in .wav format just run the audio out of your computer into your MPC.I grabbed about 100 famous movie phrases and stuff this way.

This is a break sample site, which is good for beginners to learn the classic breaks and also if you have an idea for a classic break you want to try out but don't have the wax.
