I have so much vinyl. I never really learned to "DJ", but in the days before the internet and Napster, the only way I could listen to the freshest drum & bass tunes from the UK was to go to the local record store and buy the imports. I barely made any money, but I had no qualms going out and spending $12 a pop for two - sometimes even one - songs.
I got wicked shit though. Metalheadz, Hospital, V, No U-Turn... if any of that shit rings a bell to you, excellent!
Oh and man did I buy any and all things Mo' Wax related. Holy cow I have some unnecessary shit.
