David Thorne, the guy who tried to pay his chiropractor with a seven-legged spider, has done it again. You should read his e-mail conversation about wether he should create a logo and some pie charts for a costumer for free, or if there is another way.

I LOVE dj’ing, and I absolutly LOVE vinyl. I love music, I like gear, and I love turntables. Especialy the Technics SL-1210 mk2. Being the nr. 1 selling turntable and housing thousands and thousands of clubs worldwide for the last 35 years makes a clear statement; It IS the one and only. Unfortunatly rumours are now saying that Panasonic (Technics) will stop the production of the magnificent piece of machinery in februrary, due to a decline in sales. An understandable act considering the fact that most of even the oldest superstar DJs that was with us from the very beginning, has converted to digital players. We always new this would happen, but I didn’t think it would for the next 10 years or so.

I own two of the beasts, and I shall keep them forever. Now my only question is if I should buy the top-of-the-line-ultra-deluxe version of the 1210 mk2, before it’s too late. I’ll think long and hard about out. In any case, rest in piece.

I just stumbled upon this image, showing the line of turntables since 1970. Impressive how little has changed since the very first 1200 mk2-model (1979). Obviously they hit the spot right from the start.

This winter I am going to Sweden with some jolly good mates, and I CAN’T WAIT! We’re going to stay in the cabin you can see above this text. It’ll be a week of SNOWBOARDING, partying, rolling around in snow drinking swedish Vodka, and waking up in the sauna with a horrifying headache. I’m so excited! I havn’t been snowboarding for years, so it’ll be nice to cut some tracks in the snow. Ahhh.
