Great songs. Pappu Can’t Dance should be at the top of the list. What about the weird trend these days of turning ballads into dance songs – Judaai and Pehli Nazar Mein come to mind – for some reason this puts people in a party mood.

I second Talli Hua – my fav song from Singh is Kinng.

Oh – and don’t forget the remix of Khaike Paan Banaraswala!! Dance floor fillers all.

the only drawback is you need quite a high speed computer with very little other software so that the driver doesnt freeze while you’re jamming.

Yes, that was me, though it was actually a couple of weeks ago (July 23). I can comfortably admit that I was very, very wrong about the box office success of the film.

I forgot rule #1 for anyone who wants to avoid being wrong: don’t make predictions!

That said, I may have been wrong about SIK, but I did give the music credit before the film opened, even though friends who know their music panned it.

Also, calling me an “ingrate” seems a bit over the top, and perhaps also semantically inappropriate (an ingrate is by definition an ungrateful person, a person who shows no gratitude, not a person who is wrong about the Bollywood box office). How about just simply: “ha ha, you’re wrong” ?

USB2 is a little bit on the cheaper side, $50-$200 and they do tend to have more problems with latency. However that’s beyond the scope of your intended use for the external sound card.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I didn’t know about many of them.

would you have access to the space in which you’ll be djing before the event? It’s generally a good idea to see how your songs sound in the performance space (you’re the star!) when turned all the way up.

good luck!
