Talk:DJ Shadow

message: Can anyone tell whether DJ Shadow and "Boreta" of The Glitch Mob are one and the same? Is The Glitch Mob a recent side project? If so, it's worth mentioning on this page. See: myspace photo and Pandora interview. ~ Skyscraper (talk) 21:10, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Glitch Mob

message: The first line lists his birthplace as Davis, CA, but on the right under his picture it says his origin is Hayward. Anybody have a definitive source?

thread_title: origin?

message: This odd phrase (and the list it is part of) is used here, amongst other places (all the same text AFACIS, probably cut and paste from bumf his PR company has sent them). But what the heck does it mean? Discarded incidental sounds, perhaps? Discarded by whom, then? No-one else in the googleverse uses the term in full.  Mr. Jones 14:25, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: in the article, the album is only referred to as endtroducing, however, i was under the impression, which is backed up by the official website discography, that the original 1996 album was called entroducing (no d), but that then when the deluxe edition was released, with the bonus disc "excessive ephemera", it was called endtroducing. 
i have the non deluxe edition, which DEFINITELY has no d in the title on the sticker, but i can't speak for the deluxe edition...Febodyed 00:23, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: entroducing/endtroducing

message: Under the Mixes subcategory, two CDs are marked with this.  Does anyone know what they are about?  If they don't have anything to do with the artist, maybe they shouldn't be there.  If they are related, this should be rewritten.

replies: text: He definitely did release material with the "What I Do In My Bedroom" title . I don't see a good reason why the mystery sentence should be there, I'll remove it for now. Mazca 14:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Those were bootlegs that were put out in his name. They do not, as far as I know, include any actual work by DJ Shadow. f(x)=ax2+bx+c 23:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "(This has nothing to do with DJ Shadow)"

message: There are too many dates and bits and pieces of information. Look at the last sentence for example which is set in 2002. It lacks a fluid text worth calling "Biography". I'm suggesting and not doing because I have neither a detailed knowledge about him, although I like his music a lot, nor an actual hard copy to (I didn't say steal, did I?) some wiki-worthy text. Ran J. 00:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That last sentence is totally out of place anyway... the previous few sentences take the biography up to 2006 in a fairly coherent manner, then the sentence about "Six Days" being directed by Wong Kar-Wai is randomly inserted at the end. I've folded it into the earlier paragraph about what he was doing in 2002, though it still feels a little tacked-on. Otherwise, the biography section is clear enough right now, in my opinion.

thread_title:  Biography section in need of clean-up 

message: 1) There should be a list of his samples somewhere. I know this would be a ridiculous task but it's what wikipedia is all about. See List of samples used by Boards of Canada. It's a combination of lyrics and references.
**Good luck finding them all. His debut LP is said to have been culled from samples, no  original source material at all. but within the CD jacket, the only samples listed are the more dominant ones (Bjork, Nirvana, etc)... from like 3 tracks. 192.60.35.185 16:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This is not the best biography page by any stretch, but it could at least have better timelines?  For one, it doesn't list when Josh Davis was DJing at KDVS.  For that matter, it doesn't talk about his life at all, only his albums.  There's got to be better info out there somewhere...--Reverend Distopia 16:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I found the fact that the words quality standards ran into the info box rather ironic and funny. I took a screenshot if you're not sure what I mean. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/1248/qualitystandardsug7.jpg - ZEROpumpkins 08:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Quality Standards

message: "The only piece of equipment Shadow used to produce the album is the AKAI MPC60 12bit sampling drum machine."
That's not actually possible
If only for the fact that he would have to sample the sounds onto the MPC from something else ... 
It's highly doubtful for a lot of other reasons as well
Sorry I don't know how to "sign my comments"
**Devil's advocate - he could have strung up more than one MPC, right? I ask b/c himself and Cut Chemist, along with Nu-Mark, have performed live using only MPCs. 192.60.35.185 16:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Only piece of equipment Shadow used" 

message: That's gotta be "Notable live appearances", right? Or did DJ Shadow really only appear live 13 times? I seriously doubt that. -Gazongagizmo 09:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:ThePrivateRepress.jpg

message: I'm fascinated to know where this January 1 1973 d.o.b. is coming from. I have a pretty reliable source - the 33⅓ book on Endtroducing..., in which Shadow says that "I was born in '72 in San Jose". It's on page 23. I'm not kidding. Look it up if you must. I can't be bothered to have an edit war over it, but if anyone's coming to this article looking for actual factual accuracy... uh-oh. Seegoon 17:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've wondered about that myself, but could not find a good source online for the dob.  Most sites seem to be copying their information from this article, which is problematic if our information is inaccurate.  If you have a source, straight from Miller's own mouth, then go ahead and change it and put in the ref. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 17:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of birth 

message: Is this section legitimate?  What I mean to say is, do other band/musician articles have "live appearance" sections?  And, if so, surely there are some criteria for which appearances are notable, and which ones are not.  This has the potential to grow wildly and become useless.  What is the encyclopaedic purpose of such a list? ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 17:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Live appearances 

message: All other music artists I've seen on Wikipedia usually have their name listed under their band/act, and then their discography, then underneath it a collapsable drop-down list for each related act. I'd imagine for DJ Shadow he'd have a section that says "DJ Shadow" like there's one for "Quantum Whatever" and then underneath the members (DJ Shadow) then his discography. But I only see that Quantum act. Is he a part of it with no discography of his own, or is he his own act? He needs a section. Here's a screen of what I'm talking about:

thread_title: Birthplace

message: A keyboard is a device for sending input to an instrument (say, a synthesizer or a piano). It's not, in itself, an instrument.
Listing "keyboards" under instruments makes no sense whatsoever. It makes even less sense to have it there together with "synthesizer".
It should be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.215.68.61 (talk) 01:57, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
