(all of his samples are created by him playing like 8000 different instruments and recording them) My high school band instructor always said, "If you play more than one instrument, you won't play any of them well." Personally, I am somewhere between "good" and "proficient" at like eight different instruments, but I agree that I am about 1/8 as good at any one of them as I would be if I had only ever tried to learn just one. So, this Pretty Lights fella... Let's do the math, let's see...

(all of his samples are created by him playing like 8000 different instruments and recording them) Wow! I find this very interesting. I always thought he was getting samples, but was very confused to where his samples, especially the bass, were coming from. I love Funk music. Like LOVE it. The thing about Pretty Lights is that he has a lot of funk in his music at all times. Bass on the one, break beats, groove... But it always struck me that his knowledge of funk felt Funk-lite. Like, he knew about the music from watching Tarantino movies and stuff. Most of the stuff I've heard from him is overwhelmingly funk rooted, but sounds like when most rock bands attempt to incorporate a hip hop beat. It just lacks that genuine flow. I had always thought that he was getting watered down samples from mixes that had already watered down and synthed up funk samples, I could understand this. But, to know that he is actually making this music is extra disappointing to me. I thought he was finding himself "limited" to a scope of the samples he had awareness bout, but he's not?

His new album he is actually making the music, most of his music out right now is loaded w/ samples from all over the place.

I don't know a lot about DJing (see: nothing), but is she even doing anything here? The songs switch while her hands are in the air.
Edit: I take it back, it's all so clear now; she can DJ with her feet.
ALL HAIL PARIS HILTON!

Here is one of her trying to mix. Horrible. I can't believe they let her up there. Just because she is famous, and sleeps with dj's?

I really hope that was a joke and that's not the real audio. It can't be that bad can it?

Cysquatch's vid is fake. As for the first vid, there wasn't a song transition to for me to tell if she was mixing. She fucked around with a /flanger effect. You could train a monkey to do the same. Even if she doesn't mix, it's no different than SHM, Guetta and 70% of the other big DJ's. She's at least wearing headphones which means she might actually be trying to fake a mix. If you see a DJ and they're not wearing headphones, 99.99% of the time they're not mixing and playing a pre-set mix. A computer program is doing all the mixing for them or they're playing a pre-recorded set off a CD.

The local radio stations here jumped the gun and loaded the airwaves with commercials for it. I didn't hear any directly but people were texting me all day. I had to crush many dreams today.

At first, I was going to make a sarcastic comment about Girl Talk from this: If you see a DJ and they're not wearing headphones, 99.99% of the time they're not mixing playing a pre-set mix. Something like "You mean Girl Talk doesn't really mix 400 songs in 90 minutes with beat matching skillz?!?!" And then I saw this: More on the what's a DJ in the present time... mau5 blogged about how things are these days. Very truthful and candid. deadmau5.tumblr.com/"We all hit play" And now all I can think about is how much shit the mau5 would get if he posted on these boards because he refuses to use capital letters half the time.

I got banned from Deadmau5' Facebook page because I was always correcting his grammar and telling him to stop talking about his fucking cat.

Same. I'm a jack of all instruments but a master of none.

It's not posted on the SCC website or the official site yet. It's indoor. I mean, if my in depth Edmonton geography serves me correctly, if there is a backside/outdoor area to the center, it would be in the river, I think.
