Although you may remember Hercules for being one of the first in PC Graphics, HotHardware has a review and showcase up that takes a look at the new Hercules USB DJ Console. This little deck comes with dual mixing pads, for blending and scratching of your favorite MP3s etc. It also takes over as your main PC sound system, with full Dolby 5.1 capabilities, when plugged into any PC via USB."

  1. Fads are strange by Saint+Stephen · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The first (only) time I liked Rap was when I was in 7th grade -- 1983. We used to wear Pink shirts with white colors, razor thin white ties, white patent leather shoes, and gold tie bars (??? some random imitation of black culture, we shopped at the Chess King). The summer before the fad was crew cuts and the summer after the fad was mullets and parachute pants.

    Anyway I remember doing camel hops on my BMX down my friend's quarter-pipe in his driveway, and then we went and scratched records on his two turntables, like the local black radio station with 45 minute mixes.

    It's wierd that THAT dumb shit we did was what teenagers now think is "just so cool".

    I predict early-60's doo-wop and bobby sox will be popular next. Black culture has to run to find something else for us to imitate: Al Jolsen, Elvis Pressley, Eric Clapton, and Eminem are all in the same tradition: white guy imitating black guy.
