Sooooooooooooooooo, it has finally happened...
For years I've had a recurring dream about being out dj'ing somewhere and things go wrong. Usually it's digging in crates and not being able to find ONE single song that's any good. In this dream (probably 4 or 5 times a year for the last 10 or so years) I am usually booked out of town, meaning I've kind of got to be extra good.. as opposed to just being at a regular spot i work all the time. But I just flip through the crate from record to record to record and can't find anything to play. Of course the song is ALWAYS just about to end and I can't find anything to play next.
Sometimes the tone arm just kind of breaks and I'm stuck trying to hold the needle on the record.. adrenaline picks up, i get real nervous, anxiety, etc. in the dream it's really quite terrifying.
Well, last night, for the FIRST time, this recurring dream featured the computer program Serato, LOL. it's basically a program that allows you to use your vinyl or CD players while accessing a hard drive full of music (we've discussed this I know, but...). I want to say I've been using it for about a year, maybe 18 months. But last night I KEPT trying to find good songs on the hard drive and all these weird things kept popping up.. CD covers, weird #'s, bad songs, computer gibberish in general. It even got so bad at one point that we just went to dead air.. which is a NO NO in entertainment.
i know this is bloggy, but I thought it rather monumental.
anyone else have a recurring dream? have it recently?
