DJ Nite Train
I finally had my first encounter with DJ Nitetrain on the B train to the Garden last night. I had my iPod on, as I do, so I didn't really notice at first. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him doing his air-turntable thing, then turned off my volume and heard that he was actually blasting a Bee Gees mix pretty loud.
The people on the train fell into three distinct categories: (1) Pissed-off commuters and readers, (2) People laughing, (2a) openly or (2b) secretly, and (3) People dancing. I started off as a 2b, but I was a 2a in no time.
And for that, I thank the 4 or 5 kids who got on at Pleasant St. and immediately started dancing. Then one of them said something like "We got to turn the lights down and make this into a club". One of the other kids said "This is the Soul Train!" Finally, when enough people were openly laughing, kid #1 turned to a girl sitting next to him and said, "Do you come here often?" Awesome awesome stuff. Sadly, he got off at Hynes and the party stopped.
But there's no cover charge if you have a monthly Charlie pass.

DJ Nitetrain has been around for several years. He has now become a cultural fixture of the B line. He now has a backpack with some kind of amp to share his music with passengers - but not too loud. I really enjoy travelling with DJ Nitetrain and I hope that he continues travelling the rails.

awesome blog.. I love DJ Nitetrain... I've seen him on the train a few times and also at Looney Tunes records on boylston st. Actually, haha, thats probably where he was going when he got off at hynes. sadly, I don't ride the b-line much anymore because I'm on the 57 bus now further into brighton. I happened to search for him because I was responding to a myspace blog about the guy in boston that rides his 3 wheel bike down the sidewalk and yells constantly: http://tinyurl.com/2ajmjp

Well, I'd try the Green Line, since that's the only place I've ever seen him. Good luck.
