wireless controller, video gameOn Saturday, a few friends came over for a Memorial Day weekend get together of sorts. Like all great parties, there was music. I decided to use an online service available on my game console to stream favorite songs I’d saved in a library of eclectic genres. This library has techno, electronic, indie, classic, jazz, blues, rap, hip-hop, rock, alternative, pop and current singles. Since it is a streaming music service, I can only click ‘next’ on the wireless controller if the track isn’t appropriate at the time.

We were playing a drinking game at the kitchen table so next to my cards and beer was the wireless controller. Every time a song came on that didn’t sound great I switched to the next until finding the right choice. Playing DJ with a wireless controller is a lot of fun. Not sure if everyone liked my music choices but no one complained. One person said they had never heard half the music I was playing. That is a good thing. Game consoles are obviously great for video games but also music. I knew there was a reason I spent so much money online for gaming accessories.
