Nano saves Dj

Well here it is. My first blog post unrelated to Computers and Education.

Anyhow, I can't particularly remember how I came across this blog post but, nonetheless I found it really neat. This is the link, but if you don't want to read the whole story, I'll give you a brief summary right here.

Lupe Fiasco, a fairly well known rapper discovered by Jay-Z was playing a show in LA with a 300+ audience when his DJ messed up the set by playing a scratched CD. During his biggest single, Kick Push, the track skipped back to the beginning of the verse over and over again until a proclaimed fan saved the day.

The DJ discovered that someone carrying their iPod Nano happened to have the instrumental versions of not only this particular song, but the entire album (yes that's right, just the beats), to at which point it was brought up on stage, plugged into the system and played for the remainder of the set. I never would have thought an iPod could actually have such a profound effect on the outcome of an evening, but there you have it.
