> I don't think it was suggested that he only has 30 records but that he only plays about 30 records - this is obviously untrue but I can see why Jim said it - he does have a repertoire of standards that are constantly in his box, more so than any other DJ. >> i would argue that if he did not play some of these standards that people would b**ch about that also, so it a no win situation.
> No-one ever criticised Frank Sinatra for singing the same old standards over and over again cos that's what people wanted to hear, and it is the same with Mills to a certain degree - people still whoop and cheer whenever The Bells is played, so why should he stop playing those old chestnuts? >> nor neil young or the beach boys, but this is techno, and audiences expect something new and exciting everytime. also bands can improvise a song and make it different but still a simular song, dj's can not do this what is etched on the record is what is going to be played you can not vary it like a band can, which makes that interesting again and again. maybe jeff should do some remixes of his classics? change it up i do agree if jeff had not played the bells i may have been disapointed, but i also enjoyed his set. imo it was one of the better times i have seem him (3 times now) it was way better then the state theater show and covered more ground then the thanksgiving show. i wish he would get over driving the gains so much it distorts the sound. the state theater is a good example of this. distorted sound hurts my ears jeff! the set to me did feel kinda forced, like he was covering to much ground in the time he had. but there was a method to his madness. i still want to know what the old skool electro track he played before work da body was? anyone, anyone? looking at the list here. help me out. what made me not enjoy the his set was the hordes of fools that thought everybody could fit on the floor and kept bumping me, using my sholders as a hand plant to climb down the sets (not the stairs), and the drunk @$$'s who kept disturbing me when i was trying to listen to his set. -- -scotto lansing, mi. plaztikjezuz.com
