a fantastic read that goes into the problems with modern DJing, the 1 hour constraint, and rushing into the next track instead of allowing a mix to build, breathe, and take you on a journey.
1 hour slots arent nearly enough time.

okay kid keep telling yourself that, it doesn't really make it make any more sense. (also don't pretend you don't already have a "secret folder" on your computer for them)

i really hope the "afraid of mascot costumes" to "furry" pipeline is a real thing that people can look into cuz i'm sure i'm not the only one who experienced that and confused everyone and themselves.

oh my god i just realized...
they're all Doing the Standing Still.
they're all Doing the Standing Still.
For years I've wanted to drop "Ice of Boston" by the Dismemberment Plan in a DJ set at ANE (cuz obvious joke is obvious)...
I finally had the chance at #ANE2026 and the response was... mostly confusion I think.
Idk maybe I'm wrong.
In any case, it's off the bucket list now.
