the 92 is no joke. the price is nothing to laugh about either... (ouch) if you've got senseless money to blow, i guess it makes no difference. is it worth it completely? that's debatable.... for all that money, you'd think the pot-placement would be less "crowded". it's flooded with options though (obvious)... but most likely, i bet 90% of the people that bought one aren't using the midi-out capabilities....heh. i do very much like the rotary faders on each channel though.....

these are two different types of mixers, with different intensions regarding application... the Pioneer is definitely a good mixer... it gives you some more options than the A&H 32, and it has a pretty ergonomic placement of functions.... those EQ pots are a little larger than most other mixers as well. also, if it's any gauge to go by, it's a very popular install in a lot of clubs. but the sound quality on the A&H is hard to beat (it will keep your vinyl's intended warm analog sound). the DRS presets are a nice function you don't see every day. with the 3-ch, you loose some options as i said before, but simplicity is sometimes the preferred route. also, the x-fader is better than the Pioneer's (a consideration if you're a scratch dj)...yet, it's an x/y setup....meaning, it's not assignable (it's split between ch-1 and ch-3....ch-2 is not routed through the x-fader). it really depends on what's important to you, and how you are going to use it... if you have more than just two turntables... ie: a couple of CDJ's in addition (or if you're planning to expand your setup, of course), i'd go with the Pioneer..... but if you want simplicity, with an unmatched sound, go with the A&H.

Danny had a great show at HOB/Orlando last week.... nice to hear a dj that's not afraid to expand on several genres within a set. nice guy too... definitely a worthy asset to the scene.

New Pope Recognizes 420! -dj:kable As a swelling crowd stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the slim pipe atop the Sistine Chapel on Tuesday, faint splashes of smoke became a river. It was thick, steady and —white. The crowd reacts as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger appears on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica as Pope Benedict XVI, packing a fresh one, premature to the widespread celebration of April 20th. Surely, this meant the world had a new pope. Or did it? Hopes had been dashed before. The previous two fumate, or burnings of the cardinals' voting ballots, late Monday and at noon Tuesday, started out white, spurring shouts of joy, "smoke 'em if you got 'em!". Then, about 30 seconds later, those streams became irrefutably black. Rumors quickly spread that Cardinal Medina Estevez of Chile accidentally left his Hot Pockets burning in the oven again. Despite giant television screens featuring close-ups of the famous chimney, those gathered in St. Peter's Square were reduced to the same squinty-eyed guessing game practiced by crowds for centuries. Or was the squinting just more premature celebrating of widely recognized 4/20? The people who gathered just before 6 p.m. local time Tuesday knew to be cautious. Fingers laced together in prayer, Sister Lubelia Tabeu of East Timor waited. And waited. When enough heartbeats slipped by, and after carefully scanning the crowd for polizia, she sparked up a fatty that even Tommy Chong and his counterpart Cheech would revere in the sight of. "E bianco, it's really white," she screamed, jumping on a flimsy plastic chair a few rows back from the worn white steps leading up to St. Peter's Basilica. She beamed at her fellow Silesian Sisters: "Viva il papa...puff, puff, pass, bitches!" Minutes later, the giant bells of St. Peter's rang, confirming what everyone knew. Cardinal Estevez was a little "crispy on the edges" as they say, once again...reports of Estevez ringing the bells, giggling to himself, and falling on his ass quickly spread. Excited chatter and spontaneous hymns vanished like a snuffed-out candle when Cardinal Medina Estevez announced "Habemus papam" — "we have a dope....errr, we have a pope!" — and introduced Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, Pope Benedict XVI. The crowd exploded. Priests. Nuns. The elderly. Children. Catholics. Non-Catholics. A sea of young people started chanting the new pope's name while sweet sounds of "lighting up" in celebration resounded. Delirium reigned. The gathering became part sporting event, part rock concert, part sacred moment. Perhaps it was out of respect for the new pontiff's first moment under history's spotlight. Or maybe it was just an understandably partisan crowd. Either way, there was nary a critical word about the new leader from the revelers. Just the cacophony of lighters flicking, coughing, and voice-driven rumbles which most likely included, "hey, that's not a mic, pass it", "dude, you rolled it too tight", and "'dat shit's dank as fook!"... Many applauded the selection of a man who was so close to his predecessor, John Paul II. Others felt the former cardinal's Teutonic roots would help him guide the church with a firm hand. "He is strong, yes, but that's OK because you must be able to take a clear position as pope...and besides, he gets the best krippy this side of the Vatty," said Christian Baron of Schwabisch Gmund, Germany, who was waving a massive "Legalize It!" flag. "It's important that he is a good pope most of all," he said. "But a German pope, well, it's a dream. I think I will make a party tonight....at midnight, of course. And then hopefuly, we can all stay awake until 4:20am." ---- original source: USA Today

1971 - Five San Rafael High School students christen the term "4:20," meeting daily at that hour to share a smoke under the school's statue of Louis Pasteur. The original password: "420 Louis." 1972 - Carmen Electra is born on 4/20 in Cincinnati. 1973-1989 - 420 languishes in obscurity, passed along from stoner to stoner as a completely underground "grassroots" phenomenon. 1990 - A mysterious flyer promoting 420 circulates at Grateful Dead shows, especially in Northern California. A copy of the flyer finds its way from a show in Oakland to HIGH TIMES' offices in New York. San Rafael was the home of Grateful Dead Productions, supporting a link back to the original Waldos, who are not mentioned in the flyer. 1991 - HIGH TIMES publishes the text of the mysterious flyer, which claims that 420 started in San Rafael, CA, "as a police code for marijuana smoking in progress." It also promotes "the grandmaster of all holidays: 4/20, or April 20th." 1994 - Clocks in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction are set at 4:20. 1995 - The Cannabis Action Network stages its first annual 4/20 Ball in San Francisco at Maritime Hall. The event begins and ends at 4:20. 1997 - HIGH TIMES launches 420.com, taking 420 into the digital world. 1998 - HIGH TIMES debunks the "marijuana smoking in progress" theory and declares the Waldos the true originators of 420 after the group produces letters and posters to prove this claim. 1999 - Columbine: The worst thing to happen on 4/20 since Hitler was born 90 years earlier. 2002 - The original Waldos reunite at the HIGH TIMES Doobie Awards in New York City to present a lifetime achievement award to their favorite band, the New Riders of the Purple Sage, who reunite for one night only and perform their classic marijuana anthem "Panama Red." 2003 - Carmen Electra marries Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. 2004 - Clocks in Sophia Coppola's Lost in Translation are set at 4:20. Coppola and Tarantino become an item. 2005 - HIGH TIMES suggests moving 4:20 to 5:20: "When you're working a 9-to-5 job, sometimes it's worth waiting the extra hour." PRESENT - You finished reading this 420 timeline. (source) Happy 420 to ya'z...

lol....this is comical now, at best. please note, koky did not type this:

ok, so i'm ignorant because i have an opinion... heh. but yet, you've re-interpreted and regurgitated my opinions to fit your argument...even though i told you more than once that there are in fact positive movements happening within the genre. and here you basically tell me that i should have the same taste in music as you... or at least, follow the same route in preference over time as you.... that's so ignorant in its' own right.... i'm done with this....there's really nothing more to discuss. "keep it real" lol...

omg....Spoof of the Day Award goes to.... ^ lmfao

yeah...that was even better than United DJs of America - Volume 01....

that was classic, Funk... the tones were incomparable. the overlapping arpeggios were pure genius. such hidden talent.... imma' call Perfecto right now and tell them about how they missed the boat....

before you start pointing fingers, as if you know me so well.... you picked a single part out of what i was saying, yet failed conveniently to include the rest... ie: i admitted that there are few that are pushing the genre in an avant-garde direction. you call me "ignorant", yet deny the existence of the preformatted direction most trance has taken. interesting... i'm too lazy to look for it? such is not the case... and even if it was - who has to look for it, when it's force-fed in so many places i stop in regarding anything even related to electronic music? unless you are with me each day in the record stores and online searches, how would you know a single thing about my browsing practices? you're right about comparing today's trance to yesterday's...except i have a complete opposite opinion of why that is... as i mentioned before, to me, it's been an abated process... why mention the tracks from years ago? because tracks like that still hold their value. a lot of today's trance is easily forgettable because of consistent redundancy from one track to the next... again, that's my opinion. i obviously don't get worked up about this kind of stuff like you do. i don't feel the need to defend my preferred genre(s)... i love music. and i love listening and playing many various forms of it. i formulate my own opinions, not based on others'. i don't expect you to like/dislike the same things i do... but there's no basis to come at me as if i'm some "bandwagon" jumper... (speaking of, how many times has that term been used in reference to this type of discussion on this board?....who's jumpin' on and screwin' the tuba now?)...
