OK, whilst this situation is indeed not a very nice one for Frankie
Knuckles, it's not actually as bad as some reports suggest.
Note - he has only had *a foot* amputated. Not a leg.
Here's Knuckles' own response posted to Resident Advisor:

I see on the delsin site that Quince, Vince Watson and Steve Rachmad
have dates over the weekend so all is not lost. Steve Rachmad killed
it to a near empty Tresor last Saturday.

Yeah, I'll be trying to catch those shows too.
On the subject of a near empty Tresor, it's a shame that the new incarnation
seems to have dropped to near the bottom of the order

Apparently its based on the findings of a late 18th century Dutch

to their flash animation.
Hmmm, at my work we've had people from clubs come and ask us about a similar
concept many times. We always patiently explain to
them that it wouldn't work for sound in the way it does for light - you
couldn't sense the sweet spot at another location and track
its progress. So with light you

I got the announcement today of Electrofunk.com, which combines the on

a little strange about the site:
1. The Catalog -- particularly the download section -- is nowhere near
as extensive as DDV was.
2. There's apparently a

I think this was back when MTV had a sliver of interesting programming
on for a few hours in the middle of the night. Aeon Flux, Liquid
Television, Amp, etc. If I remember right, the show focused primarily
on UK acts though, as this was part of the electronica british
invasion in the late 90's.

So I bought a bunch of stuff on mp3 recently, thinking, oh it won't matter
if I play mp3 out. Then this debate went on and I half-persuaded myself it
matters. The one thing that I didn't see mentioned is that DJs often play
vinyl in various states of chewedness, and I bet some of that sounds worse
I only buy wavs. Not sure if i can really tell the difference but if
i'm going to pay money for something i want the best. I can certainly
hear the difference if i edit an mp3 and re-encode it as an mp3 again.

I too only buy wav or .flac, then convert them to Apple lossless for
long-term storage. I really wish my iPod would support .flac, though I

simple cut+paste jobs sure ... but if you're changing volume/dynamics

I guess where i'm coming from is that whether or not you can hear it
on a club system, wavs and mp3s are different. And for 50p more I'd
