0:01 I think it's quite appropriate to have a bit of a vlog
Alright guys, I think it's quite appropriate to have a bit of a vlog. Okay, Ellaskins disappears, comes back last year, disappears this year for an even longer time and there was a very good chance it wouldn't come back, but it's come back. Which brings me to one important point. Nothing lasts forever. So, you know, what I've been doing and what everyone else has been doing out there around the world web-wise It's not going to last forever. Think about it like this, you may have your video on one of these guys, Super 8 or maybe a mini DV or maybe a hard drive, maybe a DVD etc. But everything deteriorates and everything goes in time. The only one thing that will keep on forever is... The vibe, the goodwill and the feel that you can pass on to other people which is what hopefully I have been doing. Now of course I'm going through a little bit of shit at the moment as everyone knows and I'm trying to overcome that by staying positive. It's very difficult but that's what I'm trying to do. Right, today is the 26th of September 2010 and next week it's the BPM show in Birmingham in the NEC.
2:23 Here's me taking some ex-demo stuff and selling it
We're going to have the try and break the world record for the longest DJ mix. That is, that's going to be awesome. It's going to be absolutely fantastic. Also on The DJ Tutor stand there's going to be a bed, possibly a table, a chair, a bookcase and some decks. Yeah, double bed. So that's going to be fun. And I think what we should try and do the last day is break the bed. Maybe we should do it. The DJ Tutor Carboot Sale. Here's me taking some ex-demo stuff and selling it. One of the items is going to be two of these guys. There you go. They are the CDJ-800 Mark II as used in loads of videos, and the covers are from Styleflip. So these will be for sale along with a couple of lasers, some speakers, some amplifiers, a bit of lighting, and some more CD players, etc.
Also, I'm probably going to sell these. I don't use them anymore. Pardon me. Bose Acoustimass. There's two of these and a bass cab as well, powered. So there you go. They work and of course everything will be tested and showed working before anyone buys anything. So that's about it really. Let's hope... Everything works out with the Ellaskins with an S. And one important factor I'd like to say is what happened. I took the video off. Right, in chronological order this is exactly what happened. So if the particular person who was involved with the video ever watches this I can explain. First of all I do apologise but I did what I said it's just that something else happened. I will explain what the something else is right now.
4:44 This was Saturday morning just gone, the 25th
First of all I had an email from YouTube saying your channel will be suspended unless you can give a counterclaim or a claim, which I duly did. At that point I wasn't allowed to upload any more videos. I did the counterclaim and then the channel was off. Now during that time the video in question... The person in relation to that video, we sort of exchanged a few emails and everything was agreed. I also did say that I will, which I did, I take the video off, which I did prior to the channel going off. So I took the video, it's gone. Bang, finished, end. Took it off. And then the channel, the whole complete channel was taken off. And then what happened, please understand, at 4, 20 past 4, 20 past 4am in the morning in the UK, the channel was on. This was Saturday morning just gone, the 25th. Now I'm on the way to work and I have a phone call saying your channel's on. And then of course what happened is they reinstate all the videos. So I didn't know. I didn't know it was reinstated.
So of course then with the help of a few people we got the videos back off again. So then they were off again. So luckily now all those videos are gone. When I say all the videos, there was quite a selection I did have which had not necessarily copyright infringement but sometimes you will see if you do a video you'll see like a little advert come up and say buy this record from so-and-so. Which why don't they do that anyway? I mean for crying out quiet. If we're playing tiny snippets, and I mean tiny snippets of certain tracks from artists, and then all of a sudden a banner comes up, I mean, who's making the money? Are we? Nope. We don't make a penny out of it, but they do. So you should be thankful in this. Everyone should be thankful because to a certain degree we are making you some money. We're getting you noticed, etc., etc., etc. And also, if you're involved with what I do...
We're teaching people at the same time. It's a nice circle that goes round and round and round. We teach people. People get inspired. They buy music. The industry makes money. The industry then is happy. So, then more DJs... Like this. Right, so I hope you get that, but it's all good fun. And I'm looking forward to seeing... All the nice kit that BPM show NEC 2010 from the 2nd to the 4th of October. And in the words of wisdom and stuff, practice and enjoy. Because you know what? I do.
