Ditto here. I cram the box with stuff I like that might maybe seem to make
sense, or at least have the potential to make sense. Then I proceed to fuck it
all up live. Seldom, if ever, do I have any inkling of the specifics of what I'm
gonna play, nor do I have the foggiest idea of what the tracks are called.
Most important, knowing what tracks are titled has absolutely nothing to do
with whether a DJ's any good. Most of my favorite tracks I couldn't even tell
you their titles. I just know it's the second cut on the b-side of that one 12".

i do a lot better if i just know my music well in general and go with
the flow. i tend to remember things like "track 7 has that bleepy
sound that my pal jon hates but i really like, and matches with that
other track, track 4 on the cd with the brown cover that is about
*here* in my cd suitcase..." and so on.
it helps to have a case that is easy to distinguish from others in
my suitcase, but other than that, i care little about art or whatever.
