10 ways to check if you're a spotter...

1. You know all the Warp catalogue numbers off by
heart

2. You find yourself chatting up a girl at a club and
saying '...this record is using the Apache break. You
know what the difference between the Apache and the
Amen is don't you? Well, let me explain....' and then
being surprised when you see her walking out with your
best mate 5 minutes later. 

3. You have the Skam frisbee

4. You were in the front row next to the speaker when
Aphex Twin played the Sandpaper disc at Disobey.

5. You get a black eye after spilling your pint on the
deck's at Metalheadz trying to sneak a look at that
dub plate Grooverider's dropping.

6. You boast to your mates about being onstage in the
Aphex Teddy Bear suit.

7. You wake up in a cold sweat after a nightmare about
Skam re-issues.

8. The guy in the local record shop knows you by your
first name and stops talking mid-sentence to other
customers to serve you.

9. You agonise about indexing your singles by label or
by artist.

10. Your name is Lance (sorry Lance!)

I ain't gonna tell you how many of these tests I
pass;)
