The stress of being a wedding DJ. A rant about how much your host hates religious officials at weddings that focus on God or themselves instead of the couple. People don’t know how to throw parties. Cassette tapes and Jock Jams. CD towers, bibles, and multiple changers. Crosley: the cheap vinyl gateway drug. Crossing the bridge of vinyl collector to DJ. Discogs and shopping at record stores. Our favorite record stores in Cincinnati. Lugging gear. Musical silos. Pete doesn’t like the Deftones. How to make a playlist for a gig? The community of vibing together on music.
