0:00 I've told her so many times, she's got her own field, alright?

I don't mind, honestly, I honestly don't mind, but there is no way I'm having her back in my field. Yes, I know she's white, she's fluffy, very cute voice, but I'm sick and tired of the bar all the time. But no, I'm not having it, alright? Look, look, I don't care. I've told her so many times, she's got her own field, alright? You know, she can eat her own grass, not mine. Excuse me. No, no, not tomorrow. No, not the day after. Never, that's it. Right, today is the 14th of June 2010. A bit of an update for you. Now first of all, a lot of people have been asking about merchandise. Well, we're getting there. We're going to have Lickable Clink t-shirts, Practice and Enjoy t-shirts, DJ Tutor t-shirts and hats and caps and goodness knows what. Next thing, by the way, everything I talk about, there will be Lickable Clinks in the description that will take you to Facebook.

To certain forums and also to the likes of MasterMix and CDpool, etc. Now, the BPM show will be taking place in the NEC in Birmingham from the 2nd to the 4th of October 2010. Now very quickly, even if you're not a DJ, I suggest you go because it's a place where you may be inspired to become a DJ. Maybe you like music, you like tapping your feet and you think, well, you know what, I want to go to somewhere... Where they're not going to sell me, sell me, sell me kit. I want to go somewhere where I can just look and maybe think about becoming a DJ by myself as opposed to walking into a store or a shop. And occasionally you'll have someone trying to sell you stuff. So the BPM is about you going and walking around and just enjoying anything to do with music. Great place. Now also there's a website out there called Input Forum.

1:48 This particular website has been made by a 15 year old

It's music orientated. Now this particular website has been made by a 15 year old. Go and check it out. Now what I'm going to be doing, hopefully again, it's getting the pieces together. Trying to beat the Guinness World Record for a continual mix. Now so far it stands at 82 DJs. So I'm going to try and top that along with help from you guys. Get it up to say 90. Now the whole philosophy or whole idea behind this is... Every DJ does one mix, so it's a continual supply. A continual supply of music, a continual supply of DJs. So ideally we want 90 DJs. Do you want to play a part? Quite simple. You need to be at the BPM show, the NEC in Birmingham this year because that's where it's going to take place. Now so far I have two big major companies that want to play a part. I'm not going to mention them until everything, all of the pieces of Jigsaw are put in place.

Now also, anyone who wants to play a part in the actual mix, you need to be good at DJ mixing. So what I'm going to do in the next month is do a video for you guys to respond to. So in other words, all I want to see is you putting two tracks together. If you can mix, then you're in. Of course, you have to be there as well. Alright, what else have we got? Now, I'm going to be doing very soon a mashup competition. Again, now I did one years ago but this time I've got MasterMix involved. Right, who is MasterMix? Now these are guys who produce different CDs like they have sort of dance CDs and they do the black and white issues, they come out every single month. Now what they've asked me to do and what I've, well in a sense it's a bit of a two-way thing here.

3:36 First of all, what is a mashup?

We're going to get a video for you guys to respond to with your mashups. Now first of all, what is a mashup? It's two tracks that you put together and you end up with one new song. Now we haven't worked out exactly the time scale but I would say every two or three months we're going to choose one winner and the winner gets to go on their CD. With reference to the BPM show, a certain company, again I'm not going to mention until everything is ironed out, is going to give one lucky person out there the opportunity to play on their stand at the BPM, to play their after party at the BPM and also have accommodation as well. There's probably going to be other things again on top of that but what they've asked me to do is a video for you guys to respond to with your mix.

And then they'll choose the winner, and that winner gets the VIP treatment at the BPM show. So it's all happening, alright? So watch this space. Again, I will put links in the description. There'll be one to the Facebook page with reference to the Guinness World Records. There'll be one to the input forums. There'll be one to the BPM show, which is VisitBPM. There'll be one to MasterMix as well. And I might even put one there to my auntie and uncle, nephew, nieces and grandpas stuff. Anyway, more to come. Watch this space and if you want to jot anything down underneath, practice and enjoy. Nice one.
