motionisntmeaning Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I didn't know this was a thing. That sounds awesome. I'll be looking around in my area for places that do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yocaseycasey Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Still confused on the concept. I'm not a DJ. Does this involve DJing? Or does it just involve putting your favorite songs on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I would be the dick to brush off the good old Rick Astley LP I would imagine if such a thing existed by me, it would be 15 girls who look like 12 yr old boys playing their Fleetwood Mac LPs On a serious note I do in fact love the flip out of that song! OR SOME BOBBY DARIN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezfools Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 A girl I know in Seattle does this and I'm pretty sure she just plays SKA records all night, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Still confused on the concept. I'm not a DJ. Does this involve DJing? Or does it just involve putting your favorite songs on? DJing in the literal sense, not in the 'mixing records to make dance music' sense. just setting up one song, and transitioning to the next. kinda like radio men done did back in them days. i played: planes mistaken for stars - copper and stars shudder to think - about three dreams mineral - love my way sid vicious - my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrh2001 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ive often thought of this idea. Glad to know this exists and is a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 We do this at the bar I work at in Santa Ana, CA. Anybody can come in and spin a set. Any genre, play what you want. We even throw a few free drinks at anyone who signs up. Every Tuesday night at The Copper Door in Santa Ana (orange county). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Motorco in Durham has "vinyl night" You put your name in a drawing and if they call you you up you put a record on. I think you can play a song or two or three or a side... more than 4 or 5 minutes but not an hour or anything. I'm not sure how the word "fight" enters into this...

I usually limit the sets to 30 or 45 minutes unless we have a ton of people signed up. Because it's on Tuesdays we usually don't have more than 4 or 5 people that want to spin. In between their sets I just play whatever I want. Usually a full side of something between the DJ sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maneatingcow Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 When I read the title the first thing that came to my mind was Thrash Fest 1 in Minnepolis at the 3rd Lair Skate Park. Any of you that knows the band 9 Shocks Terror knows there a bit crazy, but their set ended with a ton of records getting throw around, along with charcoal, and flour and pretty much anything else that people could get their hands on. I've still got a scar on my arm from getting hit by flying vinyl. More on topic, I know there is a bar in Appleton WI that does a vinyl night. It's like most of the others described here.

Guest Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Vinyl fights? Is that what happens when someone goes into a Thrice thread and says he/she got multiple copies and put a few on eBay "starting at .99 with no reserve?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
