what do you like best about diggin?

for me...it's the obscurity of records.

i feel like an archeologist searching for forgotten treasures in the dusty depths of time. a myriad of mysterious names and images adorning discs of black gold from an arcane era detached from the human psyche. records are like ancient wonders of a golden age, to us dark age barbarians with our primitive CD's. it's a quest that might take you all over the world, as you dedicate your life to finding vinyls that no one has seen before. even more tempting to the samplers greed is the hidden gems of rhythmic notes that are waiting to be discovered.


what about you?

Man I'm a FIEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh please oh please oh please gimme just one more hit!

To me, it's interesting how it's almost a competition or sorts. I mean, there's only a certain number of any one record in existence- it's like everyone is out there searching for the same stuff. It's exciting.

As for me, I still consider myself pretty casual, but the hunger is growing..

I like finding the wackest looking shit, like some Nashville type dude, and totally freaking it.

I just like finding shtt thats been forgotten about or is onyl known by people who care about music. There's just so much good stuff out there to be found.
I also like the idea of completing my own library.

i just like good music. Ill pick up whatever i like, from jazz to funk to rock. I just dont buy records to sample. Every record i cop i try to listen to it and nine times outta ten i enjoy the record. Im not one of thouse dudes thats diggin thru the bargin bins looking for greatest chello hits so i can sample it. im more just into buying shit that i appreciate and it has listening value.

I like getting an album for a dollar. over an hour of music for a buck, I just check out whatever strikes my eye, I can sample anything so I just ook for stuff that I'll dig. Pun Intended.

YO ..................


Actually What used 2 Annoy me IS NOW ay FAV part its the look on peoples faces at times That Says Like " RECORDS What Does that Young man Want with that Crap!!!" WOW I Jus' LUV That !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Then that makes me Really Want 2 Get it Into The Pot And Start it COOKIN'!!!!!



HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



.. .. ..

i like to ask people for records and there reply
records? whats that! they look at you like your some phucken murder or something then you tell them LP's and they flip,

especailly when you buy the hole lot off them for ten or twenty bucks they think they ripped you off , when it 's the other way around.

i jsut love the feel of vinyl and how it stinks make you wonder what the person who owned it before was like.

"I'M JUST AN ADDICT ADDICTED TO MUSIC"yall kno the rest
peace

TRUST THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

finding sh!t from people that noone ever heard of or even had a proper career or anything. The covers, the work of 4-5 hrs getting your sh!ts full of dust and dirt and then putting the needle on or flipping the covers just to find that ill loop.

check the lootpackumentary / scratch

what I like most.....


Djing parties for the 35 and up crowd and walking in with 2 1200s a rane ttm56 and some crates.....

I get the dirtiest looks

Then start droppin the old classics and the old fogies come up in awe that I got all of the music on vinyl........

and by the end of the night I got at least one new custeee...

The suprises are the best. I usually snatch a couple records I've been looking for plus 5-10 from the .50 bin. It's allways dope to throw on something unknown and go OH SH!T. People that don't dig won't get it but for us it's a lifestyle.
