Linkage: November 8, 2007

- Paul Oakenfold was expecting to play to a sell out university crowd in Newcastle, UK. However, Oakey was left red faced when only 52 people bought tickets.

- There are rumours circulating London's club scene at the moment that the owners behind Fabric are planning to open a massive club in the Millennium Dome in Greenwich, as a venue to host only the most famous of superstar DJs. Yeah, right.

- MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, Don'tStayIn - you name it. So my question is: Do we really need another social networking site? For DJs?

- The enforcement arm of the Australian music industry has dismissed damaging overseas research that found illegal music sharing actually increased CD sales.

- A random piece of wisdom from the GU board:

"I have the theory that people like us who likes dance music, its because our brain chemistry changed thanks to E, so people who didn't get E only listen Boom Boom Boom Boom."

Sotek Nov 09, 2007 \| 06:58 PM	@Steven: "I think we need a social network for DJs!" I don't think there's a need for such site. As far as I know, 99.9% of DJs already have a Myspace or Facebook profile, personal website or blog, etc. Honestly how many different accounts you need to check daily to stay connected? I think the whole "social networking" boom is getting out of control. So that's why..

BUT, if there were a site as a DJ where I could find Industry News, watch DJ related video clips, product reviews, Top 30 charts, etc. I would sign up!
