"FROM THE FOLKS BEHIND SOME OF SCOTLAND'S BEST MUSIC BLOGS"

So.....a week to go.

As I mentioned last week, its all down to Drew from Across The Kitchen Table. I'll do exactly what he tells me.....and here's what he said in an e-mail earlier in the week:-

".....you were wondering if we would be using decks. I discussed this with Barney and decided on using vinyl, I much prefer it, it's easier to cue things up and it's authentic, I'm not as big fan of cd decks and even less impresssed by folk who dj from an ipod. I will however bring an adaptor for an ipod to mixer just in case you need it or I have a burning desire to play something which I have forgotten to put in my boxes."

So there you have it. Its going to be vinyl. I'll warn you now, there will be no mixing nonsense going on. Strictly a case of picking up the needle and slotting it into the groove. And given I'll also be bringing alon some LPs, there will be at least one point in the evening when, in the true spirit of John Peel, I will play a record at the wrong speed.

I'll still expect you all to dance to it mind you.

But there are a few things I do want to play that I either no longer have on vinyl or indeed have only ever owned on CD....but I'll do that when Drew isn't looking!!!!

One big favour to ask any readers who have their own blogs....how about giving us a wee bit of free publicity??????

Remember...it costs nothing to get into The Flying Duck on any of the Saturdays that Blog Rocking Beats will be taking place. Even then, you might not think you got your money's worth......
