youre reminded of mixing while you try to keep the speedo exactly on the sped limit (beatmatching. believe of the pedal as the pitch fader, the needle as deck b and the speed limit as deck a)

whenever you hear an interesting or unusual sound, first thing that comes to mind is "Woah, that would make a really cool sample!"

You can name six different kinds of Techno and three types of Electro.

You instinctively listen for the outro mix point on every piece of music you hear, including pop and rock tracks, mentally inserting a beat to hear how you can keep the energy level. (Did that with Train this morning)

You hear usable loops in the soundtracks of adverts.

Driving over a railroad crossing gives you an idea for a breakbeat.

when you buy guitar hero to use it for eans routine without owning a xbox360 or a ps3!

when you own 7 remixes of a tune but not the original (couse it sux and was made better by guys on soundcloud)

when you dont want to "juggle" your girlfriend after some beer BUT your vci100

when you only flush the toilet when it seems to fit the mood of the track playing on your set you are listening to

When every party you go to, you have the overwhelming desire to take control of the music but have to bite your tongue and deal with the fact that the music sucks...We obviously have better taste in music than everyone else

LOL....BACK in the day....before i was allowed to drive....my sidekick and I used to go to town clubbing in his works little van.

We used to drive along the sides of the road and onramps hitting all the cats eyes (you now them reflector things in the road) and guess the BPM.

OR

It's one of the greatest moments of the week/ month/ year when you have the radio on and at the same time your cell phone rings and the two tunes mix together.

This. Also when you want to turn up the volume of the stereo you time the volume increase with a bass drop.

also when i actually get to run the lines i sometimes fiddle with the settings to get different 'rhythms' from my machines to mix with each other.

personally, i frequently listen to a song and listen for perfect loops to use for intros and outtros
drives me mad when i though it would be a good loop and then i try it and its not

When you can't just listen to music anymore, and your brain automatically over analyzes it, no matter what it is.
