Trainspotter 

Back when club DJs used vinyl and didn't have their beatmatching done for them, a trainspotter was a person who focused on the transitions between records, just waiting for a trainwreck, i.e., mixing in a record that is off tempo, creating a discordant, galloping effect between the two drum tracks. (This effect could be quickly overcome by the DJ, if the DJ was competent, and most of the crowd would not have noticed, thus the need to be actively looking (listening) for it.)
The word can also apply to watching for anyone to mess up anything.
Because Eric Prydz plays on CDJs and has a computer beat match for him, it's completely pointless to be a trainspotter at his show.

As above: shoooting up heoroin or the like. Called so because a session will leave a dark linear mark (known as a "track") at the site of the affected vein. Harcore users will tend to have multiple sites of injection and will locate, or "spot" an optimum vein - one with minimal "tracks" and discomfort or infection. A hit can be analogous to the impactof a locomotive or train.
That's how I figure it anyway.
Watch the damn movie. It rocks. try reading the book - the narration is spelled with a scotish accent all the way through.
