Sorry, 'man who only likes the first 15 seconds of Tom Sawyer'.
Repeated ad nauseam.

I can't understand why you would only like the first 15 seconds.

It's a hip hop DJing thing.
You cut up the 'break' of the intro with two copies, thus making a new tune, without Geddy Lee's horiffically bent singing.

But he starts singing after 8 seconds
so you're just flicking between two 5 or 6 second samples?
(Bazongaloid, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 9:44, Reply)

Yes.
This is called 'cutting up breaks' and is the manner in which the original hip hop DJs created instrumentals for breakdancing and MCing. Samplers and drum machines were five years away from existing, you see.

But it's an awful lot of effort
given that you could do it once on a computer and then loop it.

Just because that was the way you used to have to do something doesn't make your ability to do it impressive.

Nobody is impressed by my ability to make a spinning jenny or use a typewriter.

I shall try to find you someone decent doing it on YouTube.
Perhaps then you will understand.

The Tom Sawyer cut-up is 'traditional':

Al, I cannot fathom why a man would want to play that first 15 seconds
Then cut straight into the same 15 second sample on a second record. Over and over for about 5 minutes.
Not only would this mean you have to have 2 copies of a song I do not care for, but it would be easier to just DJ using MP3s and set a loop...

Well yes, that too.

When not so pissed I can barely stand
some variation and scratching is usually added for the sake of variety and entertainment. You did not see the 'routine' at its best.

I've just listened to Tom Sawyer
I have only recently been introduced to Rush, but I do like that song.

Geddy Lee is a homosexual.
His vocals ruin their music, cf Budgie.

I've obviously questioned your DJing ability enough
To make you overlook the slight troll comment that you should get with the times and use MP3s.

Sorry I only ever read the first few words of your posts
as they are always so fucking dull. Sorry.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 9:49, Reply)

as they are always so fucking dull. Sorry. Because I'm such a twathole with money that I can't pay for decent net access, so am using old 60 day AOL dial-up trial discs.

Is this why he's always about ten minutes late with his comebacks?

(Bazongaloid, Mon 28 Feb 2011, 9:54, Reply)

Ouch.
