Few days ago I got a new toy... a Behringer BCD 3000! i leiiiik! For all non-freaks out there: with that box, which you can see left of my laptop btw, you can control a DJ software very nicely. You don't need to struggle with the mouse anymore - instead you just use faders and knobs like with a real mixer. Very nice! Even scratching works a little bit, at least enough for my purposes. Additionally there are 2 line-in channnels and also a XLR in for a mic. So, everything you need for DJing I would say...

Do you know Manu Chao's song "Raining in Paradize"? It was released somewhen in Summer/Fall 2007, I think, and the first thing I loved of it was that it was released as a free download :) Right now I stumbled over the video of it, and I like that too :)

The way I am listening to music is changing nowadays. It is getting better actually, and as music is important for me I appreciate this development. So, in fact listening to music and most importantly finding new good music is not easy and does not happen by it's own. But at least - its getting easier now.
