Put A Record On

Well, finally after months of frustration and strops I've mastered three tunes which I can mix successfully, barely noticeable joins and everything. I know this to be the case because previously the boyfriend would wince and say things like "not bad, just a little bit out" and now he is either not even noticing the tunes have changed or actively saying "that was good". I'm glad I'm at the stage because quite frankly I thought it was never going to happen. What's also happened is that I have a list of five tunes that I can now play one after each other, only making minor errors. I'm trying to expand it all the time (mainly unsuccessfully) because I'm getting tired of hearing Coburn's We Interrupt This Programme and Emjae's Digital Daze. Cracking tunes though they are, they are becoming a little tiresome. Blue Monday is the third, but I don't think anyone with a heart could ever tire of that! The one drawback to all of this of course is that I now have a thirst for more and more vinyl that I can't quench. My local friendly DJ come record shop person was left without employment when the owner of the shop decided to close it, and in turn I am left without someone to hand me a load of tunes that he thinks I'll like.

Now this might sound all very trivial to some, but to me it's a start and it's a hobby I actually enjoy doing and believe me doing something that isn't work related is A Good Thing.
