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;) ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
