Do You Want To Be A Dj.............?, page 2
Music is physics brought to life with biology.
I'm wondering how each one finds NEW & DIFFERENT music that every other DJ isn't using in their sets (without making their own).
To me, I don't think there is enough time in the day to listen to everything out there. I'm amazed at how quickly time passes when I'm just listening for hours and hours during the day doing stuff around the house. Imagine HAVING to listen all of the time for your job?
Yes, you would have to LOVE music . . . sleep, eat, and breathe music . . . to make it a career, but wouldn't you need to take a break sometimes?
I'd almost be afraid that it would take away the JOY of listening to music all together. I once heard DJ Heidi (love her!!) say that when she listens to music just to listen and not for work, she doesn't listen to house.
And that lifestyle! I lived a similar lifestyle (in clubs) when I promoted and toured with bands "back-in-the-day" and it's very unhealthy, especially if you are partaking in certain extracurricular activities (nod, nod - wink, wink). It catches up to you after a while.
Even though I would NOT like to become a professional DJ, I WOULD still like to learn how to spin. I had over 4,000 pieces of vinyl at one time and would like to learn how to DJ with vinyl, but even learning with CDs, a thumb drive, and/or a laptop would be interesting.
That's just my 2 cents.
