every.

damn.

night.

for the last 13 years.
 
BEST VIDEO I SEEN ABOUT DJING :D THIS GUY SHOULD WIN A GRAMMY :D
 
Super freaking love this video, minute 3:46, so freaking true. Love this video.
 
EPIC ! best short vid I´ve seen..EVER !
 
Absollutely--I do not take requests with the word "NEXT" in them!
 
I don't know if retardism is universal or is there some kind of "How To Piss Of The DJ - The Universal Manual" out there, because every single DJ has heard all these stupid lines at least once in their life. I would also like to add my personal favourite:

Customer: "Could you play something good?"
Me: "I already am."
Customer: "You know...something you can dance to" (currently playing funky house track, but it doesn't really matter what you're playing)
Me: "Like what?" (assuming I'm having a good day and I bother to ask)
Customer: "You know...like that new <insert cheesy pop/hiphop artist> song."
 
Totally agree, especially with the one with the people coming up and having a go if you dont play it literally that second! (9 times out of 10 people are too drunk to realise anyway!)

Another one of mine is when your in the dj booth somewhere, maybe with a friend or two and you get a group of ***s just barge in and are all over you/your stuff etc pretending they are your mates.... GET OUT!!
 
Very good video. We in the UK suffer the same idiots night after night.

Especially the off key singer, because 10 out of 10 times their breath needs toilet paper instead of the tic tac!!!!

GREAT VIDEO!
 
i think everyone has had the drunk asking "can you play something good" when the dance floor is full but the numbtys that come up and ask...


cutomer, can you play such and such

me, the one that is playing now

customer, yeah thats the one i mean, can you play it next

me, it's already playing

customer, i'll buy you a pint if you play it next

me, but it's already f n playing

customer, yeah but please play it next

me, gives the nod to security

customer, disappears....

 
i love everybody!

ahahah Chuck ..thats an understatement!! ahahahah
 
i ALMOST never get pissed and play "why can't we be friends", 'til the "toothless redneck

has left the building" (with a little toss from security)


does promo only still have that "toothless redneck" sample ??

i always got some laughs outta that ....


i recently had a guy come to the booth at the strip club and he was so ignorant , i just

instantly lost it ........


this moron steps half into the booth w/o asking , no hello , nothing ......

tries to give me a cd ..... like i'm the piss boy here to play his cd ......

i flipped , i went from zero to nuclear holocaust in a billionth of a second


i actually shoved the guy outta the booth , and yelled "Joe" IN THE MIC

and Joe ran over and grabbed him and away he went ....Joe is huge and i hope he hit his head

when Joe launched him into the parking lot .....


"sorry Lord , that's not right .....and be with the starving pygmies , amen"
 
who says its not right? no apologies for that one needed: the booth is our home and he invaded.

and what used to be play my cd's is now plug in my ipod/phone/smartphone/flashdrive/laptop.

frizzed out hair, leathery complexion, horrible make-up, obviously high on something and she reaches in her purse to get a cd. opens jewelbox and tries to offer it to me, and i look and see that it's a black cd for a playstation 1 game. she hasn't said a word the whole time.
i ask her what it is and she just says "House".
i ask "what kind of house?"
the broken record says "house" to everything i ask for the next few minutes...

coulda been worse. coulda been a unemployed "visiting dj" wanting to "hang out" or "see what kind of set-up you have"
 
ever get "can i charge my phone " ??


sorry Obedose ..... it's my first rant of 2011 .....

i only managed to get thru 4 days ......


i guess that's a recent new wrinkle in the whole rude game .....

the "hasn't said a word "

bad hair , complexion , makeup .......

heroin , crack , pills , alcohol ....or some combination ..... charming
 
all true i hate people who ask you to play some 60's (OR OTHER DECADE) and thats it they seam to forget there was more than one genre of music in every decade, lol people have no idea,

yes. and the last guy i actually let him use a booth plug to charge his phone, and i even kept an eye on it in case i saw it blinking.
he had just gotten back from iraq, his wife was staying with her parents while he was overseas and she was pregnant.
he is now the proud daddy of a beautiful baby girl. and yeah, i am a sucker for some things.
 
On one gig some drunk guy gave me $20 at the end of the gig for one song, but then again he was holding me close and telling me the title of the song right on my ear. Hey $40 and he could do that to my other ear. Jp Awkward experience.
 
There's only two really annoying things I've encountered.

1) I do a little DJ work when friends of mine have parties. I'll tell them to get a list of music (types/artists) they want and give it to me a couple days in advance. Then, at the party I usually send around a list of requests, so people aren't constantly bothering me. About ten minutes after I get the list back, a gaggle of drunk chicks come up and ask why I haven't played xxxxxx (song name). "A) It's not on the list or B) It's last on the last." They continue to complain, and I put the headphones on.

2) That "other DJ" at the party. He's the guy always coming up to you at a laid back party where all you're really doing is playing music for the crowd, and he wants you to do some mixing and some scratching, or even worse, he wants to "use your setup man."
