Looks goofy to me. If you're ever gonna actually DJ something where you'd be willing to spend that much money, you're probably gonna have actual equipment. I've never been in a situation that's like "Oh snap I really wish I had my mixer right now!". Id imagine in a planned gig you'd take the time to take your stuff with you besides a tiny ass mixer and a smartphone.

I played trumpet with a band recently and we all wore full suits. Was pretty cool, but not the staple of the show. I think we were all relatively timid on stage when it happened, but the amp sphere of the music called for it and the crowd reacted ye way we wanted them to.

Ah. I assumed you and Aeros were talking about busking in general.
Oh oh. Nope, I think it's cool if it's received well I guess! I don't think I'd be able to do it, personally just because of the social anxiety involved in it. Maybe I could do it with a guitar, but that's overdone.
And aeros, I was here first

Completely agreed. I'm definitely not advocating a crazy, flailing performance. Jumping around and stuff like that almost invites the "all you're doing is hitting buttons" accusation, actually. The thing with public contexts is that you kind of have to be aware of the fact that your presence is either ignored or even unwanted for a lot of people. This means you have to respect the context -- you're ALREADY playing really loud music, jumping around and generally being a jerk isn't going to help any. If, however, you invite the inquisitive people in by letting the music itself do the talking, THEN you can justify why your performance is cool by telling them the deets on chiptune and stuff.
This is basically what I meant. I mean, I don't wanna say busking is stupid. My "but why" comment was in regards to going balls to the wall when it's like nobody around cares.
I guess I'm just more of a timid person when I perform. I mean, I would just feel odd dancing like crazy unless there's enough social energy to really justify it. Call me a social leech if you want, but that's just how I feel comfortable with those things. I'm not the first one to dance, ever. Not at an indie gig or a party or anything.
Speaking of ATDI, would just like to say I want them to make a new record with Cedric.

It just looks quite silly, in my opinion.

But if you're making two layers out of it, wounding the spacing between letters for the white layer have to be bigger so the stuff actually fits in the black text?
