I am a DJ, I am what I play

I have a DJ gig this weekend! On June 25th, 2005, I play the closer set at Phaze I, a rave party out near Duncan. As a result, I've been practicing on the decks a bunch lately, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Here's a link to the flyer and the infoline is 250.619.6007 (day of only).

I'm guessing my set will be pretty similar to the one I just recorded. I'm not going to post the location of the mix because it kinda sucks (a bunch of technical fuckups...) but I'm pretty proud of it. Clocks in at 80 minutes and read more for a tracklisting.

Tracklist is:
Green Velvet - Preacher Man
The Prodigy - Breathe
Alter Ego - Rocker
Groove Armada - I See You Baby (Shakin' That Ass) (Fatboy Slim Remix)
Fischerspooner - Just Let Go (Thin White Duke Remix)
Rex The Dog - Frequency
LCD Soundsystem - Daft Punk Is Playing At My House (Soulwax Shibuya Remix)
Miss Kittin - Happy Violentine (Michael Mayer Remix)
Goldenboy feat. Miss Kittin - Rippin Kittin (Tobi Neumann's Glove Tension Dub)
Chicks On Speed - Euro Trash Girl (Tobi Neumann remix)
Run-DMC - Run's House
Daft Punk - WDPK 93.7
Daft Punk - Revolution 909
Tiga - Louder Than A Bomb (a capella)
Depeche Mode - World In My Eyes (Cicadia Remix)
LCD Soundsystem - Beat Connection
Dave Clarke - The Compass
Underworld - Cowgirl
Chemical Brothers feat. K-OS - Get Yourself High
Miss Kittin - Meet Sue Be She
The KLF - Last Train To Trancentral (Live At The Lost Continent)
The Faint - Conductor
Annie Soundtrack - Maybe
Joy Division - Only Love Will Tear Us Apart
Le Tigre - Deceptacon (DFA Remix)

No clue how much this will change between now and Saturday.... I have a feeling each of these records will be coming with me, as well as a few others.

I need sleep soon so I'm gonna eat my sandwich and then go curl up to bed with some Buffeh.

Let's get some of this cleared up here

Alright slashdot geeks, let's talk.

Yesterday I saw this CNet article that looked like a lot of unsubstantiated rumour (though other news sources seem to be confirming this, as I saw on the front page of Google news Canada today) about Apple moving to Intel chips from IBM given how the G5 doesn't seem ready at all for laptop use.

And all the slashdotters, in true slashdot infinite-wisdom type stuff, decided that this means "OMG I CAN RUN OSX ON A PC."

This is not true.

Intel != x86, kids. True, they invented the instruction set, true they are the leading producer of the chips, but false if you assume that this is all they produce.

Nowhere does it say with any validity (there's some speculation in the article but it's as erroneous and misdirected as the /. posts) that Apple has any desire to move itself from the PPC chips. In fact, Apple would outright shoot itself in the foot if they did that. Why would anybody buy a $2500 Apple when they can get a comparable $1600 Athlon machine if they could just run OSX on the latter? Make no bones about it, even though OSX is a slick operating system, Apple is a HARDWARE company.

No, we're not seeing an x86 port. Intel is a processor company and they make plenty of chips that are not x86. If anything, this is just the same thing Apple did when they said "Screw you hippie" to Motorola and got IBM to build up the G5 for them.

Repeat after me:
This doesn't mean Apple will port to x86, simply that they're getting a company best known for making x86 chips to build their next generation of processors.

No more, no less.
