DJ Now, Ask Me How

Who knew that the art of listening to records in over-sized headsets while rip-roaring high at nightclubs DJing paid so well? We didn't.

DJ Lamont who, with all due respect, we've never heard of before, has enough dough to buy ad space--evil Clear Channel ad space!--on a bus station at Masonic and Turk to promote the education of his mad DJing skillz. (For more info on learning how to become a master DJ via master classes with DJ Lamont, visit Fingersnaps.net, which seems to be some sort of art collective.)

So: DJs of San Francisco, how much do you get paid on average? (And, no, that's no longer a rude question to ask, at least according to Suze Orman it isn't.)

These cropped up (in smaller form) a lot in the dotcom crash aftermath. I've come to see them as evidence of economic downturn.

Buy a jetta, call yourself Seth, grow whitey dreads—you're a DJ!

So true manys. After the dotcom bust everyone I knew either became a DJ or a massage therapist. Today, none of the DJs are DJs but all the massage therapists still kneed people.

I'm skeptical of these lessons, what self-respecting DJ would play their precious colored vinyl in direct sunlight?!?!

Riggo: I have, many times. I've even watched thin vinyl warp on the turntable as it played. Turned out fine.

I just want to know what a CD lesson is.

atkill, they make cd players that can be scratched and cued just like a turntable . perhaps the technique and whichs buttons to push are different enough to warrant a whole another type of lesson ..
