I was recently in bed and was woken up by my neighbour playing loud music (this happens quite often, not that he's inconsiderate, it's that I work strange hours). There was also the sound of a loud argument between him and his girlfriend. What was interesting about this otherwise rather dull (from my perspective anyway) event was that he seemed to be live DJing the argument. When I awoke he was playing some proper hardcore dance music, then from somewhere I heard a door slam and the music changed to more downbeat, female vocals, swirling sounds, you know the type of thing, then (I imagined) the door reopened and (I heard) the voices started again and some more dance music, not so fast this time, but as the voices became louder the beats grew faster, as if he was speeding the track up, rather than just the track getting faster.
I thought this was kind of interesting. Putting on music to suit a mood, the way you're feeling at the time is one thing, actually live DJing events while they're happening seems like quite another. Is this where the MP3 player is taking us?
How did the argument end up? No idea. The music stopped abruptly.
