Re: [ARSCLIST] The Future of RECORD Collecting - an interesting documentary

Maybe the record companies actually fear them.  I don't know.  But they 
certainly don't try to stop them.  What the DJs do is mostly a live 
performance.  They get paid very good money to play their sets at dance 
clubs and raves.  Many issue mix tapes that are blatantly illegal, and those 
are usually kept behind the counter, like Penthouse.  When they issue 
something through traditional channels, they do get clearance and pay for 
the samples.  The best stuff out there is blatantly infringing on 
copyrights, so is very difficult to find for the average Joe (you and me). 
It's out there though.
What Mixmaster Mike does is pretty amazing.  Forget "Rockit", if that's the 
only exposure you've had to DJs.  I have a vocal performance degree, but 
what these guys do takes practice, skill and planning.  To look down on them 
would be short sighted.
So, just to prove I have pretty broad musical tastes here's a sample of what 
I listened to yesterday:
   No Doubt's singles collection (Love that Gwen Stephani) on CD though :(
   Nelson Riddle "Route 66 Theme" on Capitol st1771 needed a good cleaning
   Ravi Shankar "Portrait of Genius" World Pacific st1432 (very nice 
record)
   Keith Jarrett "Treasure Island" Impulse A great collection of talent on 
this one.  Good sounding vinyl issue.
   Esquivel "Other Worlds, Other Sounds" RCA LSP-1753  Justly famous for 
sound and music.
I do have double the classical of anything else, but listen more to jazz I 
think.
