here's a pic of Mark Ronson dj'ing last november at Love in NYC. you know... spinning on the 1's AND 2's. when did djs stop using vinyl? Ronson did have an Apple laptop on hand, but he primarily used vinyl. the first time i saw a dj with a laptop was when Dj AM did a set in NJ circa the Nicole Richie years. so i figured it was a hi-tech new age type of thing. but lately i don't see any record crates... no nothing. am i the only one a wee bit bothered by the whole MacBook dj craze? i'm not knocking it, but it doesn't feel right to me. i need a fade, a scratch--something!!

the first time i heard Santogold's voice was on a Mark Ronson track called "Pretty Green." but now i've been playing her new cd for the past 24 hours and i haven't had to skip a song... it's just that good. my favorite tracks are: "Anne", "I'm a Lady", "You'll Find a Way (remix)", "Say Aha", and "Shove It (switch remix)". this music video came out in March and is titled "L.E.S. Artistes." enjoy!!
