    The experience?

    "what record is that they're about to play?"
    "do i have it? have i heard it? seen it?"
    "let's see how well they mix"

    watching a dj work with vinyl... it looks like they are actually DOING
    something. like i said, it'd be boring watching someone cue cd's all night.

    As far as compilations, I say they're fine as long as your whole music
    collection is not compilations... that is for the general consumer... i
    expect more from a dj. Somebody mentioned it showing a lack of effort put ,
    into the music selection... i agree mostly. Of course there are always
    exceptions (i.e. you can't find something elsewhere or the compilation is
    top notch).

    Quesiton: What do people think about playing tracks by the same artist back
    to back or repeatedly in a set... or same label... or a track from side b
    and d of a compilation?

    Personally, I'd do it if it sounds dope.

    Beau
