Talk:DJ

I cringe to think of how much time I could have spent on this rough article. I still marvel at how much time and how seriously one can dissect and tinker with the workings of pop culture phenomena. Regardless, for those that ARE wondering:

1) I didn't go into detailed discussions of radio DJs vs. club DJs vs. wedding DJs..... here because (as I said) for as different as they can all be, they really are all doing pretty much the same thing (and usually all with the same tools). Besides, this description (argument?) can be found on any number of "DJ FAQs" all over the web.

2) re: the "DJ as artist" section: Any number of arguments can be made w/r/t/ to what constitutes a DJ, an artist, an "art DJ," an artistic DJ, etc. (Getting my drift?) A DJ can mix artistically and/or innovatively and still wind up with an end result that is simply two songs mixed together. Then again, I don't necessarily consider a "turntablist" to be an artist either...
