1st. Do you actually know what a Dj actually does?
A Disc Jockey jockey's disks, and do exactly that.

2nd. Do you consider a Dj a musician?
Yes and no. A musician is one who makes music, but if you consider the mixing of numerous songs mixed together as a giant song (set if you will), then they can be referred to as musicians. Kind of like a composer.

3rd. Do you know what a turntablist does?
Yes. They work the tables like none other. Beat juggling, and scratching is basically what it comes down to. Creative mixing of songs, with scratches, etc. Tricks are fun to watch (one hand under your leg crabbing the cross fader / scratching with the NEEDLE only) but i don't believe they are necessary. Nobody see's your tricks when they listen to your mix.

4th. Do you consider a turntablist a musician?
Definately. Using the tables as an instrument -making sound that is not already embedded into something.

5th. Whats your favourite color?
Blue of sorts.

6th. How many fingers am I holding up?
If you're typing.. maybe one. I tend to not use my right hand pinky. Maybe thats the one.
