Today we remember…

Posted by | Nov 11, 2003 | |

Out of respect and in honor of those who have given so much to protect the freedoms we so very often take for granted, MacMinute will not be published today.

Methodshop has published an article on the new trend in London of “MP3Jing” — the act of using two iPods to DJ instead of turntables and vinyl. “On noWax nights, MP3Js bring their iPods and wait for the automated projector above the DJ booth to flash their number. They then plug-in and mix three songs back-to-back against another MP3J. noWax is a public competition very similar to ‘Rap Battles,’ a la Eminem’s movie ‘8 Mile.’ Whoever doesn’t get booed off stage and mixes the best set of songs wins.
