Day 3 - The Bombing Continues!

I turned the corner at 9am on Wednesday morning and what do I see? What I am guessing is about 10-feet x 10-feet of OBEY! I drove towards it with my jaw dropped and just gazed upon the biggest installation I have seen in person. I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL FEBRUARY! Yesterday was a busy day and I happen to catch the following throughout Boston. My co-pilot on the expedition, was non other than Chris "Cot-Tec" "NoMo" Ward. I have been notified of some others that I missed, so I will do a follow up later today. Enjoy!

Downtown Boston (Haymarket)



Harvard Square:

Day 2 - SF hits Central Square!

The visit to Boston continues from Shepard Fairey. Spotted these in Central Square this afternoon. Gotta love the remodeling job for Boston!

Obey - Shepard Fairey - Early Boston Visit?

On my travels through Harvard Square this afternoon I strolled upon this lovely wall pasted up in front of a store renovation. Rumor has it, it's suppose to be some sort of bar but that is not yet confirmed. The man himself Shepard Fairey is scheduled for an exhibition starting this February 6th at the ICA Boston. This piece certainly got me very excited for February!

ATTN DJ's: I would like to know your thoughts....

So I came up like most DJ's my age in the mid-nineties, using turntables and vinyl. I started collecting vinyl before I even had turntables so by the time I had my Technics turntables, I would already have a great start to practice at home. Well it's now 13 years later and I have gone almost all digital using CDJ's (CD Turntables). I made that jump a few years ago after attending Burning Man in the Nevada Desert (terrible place to bring vinyl).

Regardless, I am always playing out tech-funk, techno and breaks but during the winter months I end up playing a lot of Snowboard events and other electic gigs that I play different styles of music.

So I am debating going from CDJ's to using Laptop at my gigs. However, I have not yet decided if I should make this jump and if I do, should I go with Seratto? Traktor Scratch? Or just stay with CDJ's? As far as comfort level goes, I am very comfortable using CDJ's. I was very comfortable using vinyl. I can adapt pretty easily so that's not much of an issue.

I would like to know from as many people as possible the following:

- Are you using Vinyl, CDJ's, Laptop?

- Why do you prefer the route that you're going?

- If you are using laptop, what program are you using and what specs of laptop?

- What problems have you experienced playing out live?

- Do you have any additional thoughts or advice that you could share with me about this topic?
