It’s really good , Carl Cox is incredible, it only dips into the likes of Aoki & others doing fake live sets but it really makes you respect the likes of Cox. Sadly the “press play “ DJ’s are taking over but musicians would probably say the same about the old school DJ’s 30 odd years ago.

I have no issue with using computers.... The same things that set good and bad apart still applies (digging deep, selecting from the heart, respecting the music you are playing by the manner in which you are presenting it)...... Like many things; there is a craft involved.

What grinds the most is that one can afford to be humble and accredit most of what you are doing to the excellence of those that made the records in the first place; yet still reap deserved props without the whole process turning into one big ego-massage.....

There you go.... No swearing.... Didn't I do well. :)

Me as well.I formed a punk band at school and as i couldnt play an instrument, and had no intention of learning one i decided i would be the front man.
I sing like a strangled tone deaf cat with its head in bucket.Too crap,for even a punk band...
Then did a bit of roadieing,gig promotion and even band mangement.
Took up DJing , ska,reggae,oldies soul,punk ,indie and various other related sounds.
I tend to play inbetween bands,so at least i can kid myself that all the people are there to see me...

i wish I could agree with this 1000 times over.

I have been to so many matches in recent years where the dumb pa music is drowning out the crowd noise before kick off, then a goal is scored and music is played! Do they really think people can't go to a match and enjoy it for what it is without the need for music!

I like my rugby and that is getting worse, some clubs play music at each breakdown, the usual lame cheesy pop music shite , totally ruining the match experience, maybe they think crowds have the attention span of a goldfish and must be entertained, I don't know but music should just be banned from stadiums.

Oh and idiots with I phones recording an incident to feed their online ego during a match. Pricks.

You got in ,before i could edit :)

We had a a promoter and record label owner over form the states at one gig i was doing in the 12 bar where i was a regular in the west end a few years back.
The manager of the club asked me to let him have a 20 minute slot as he was a hot shot punk DJ back in the US.
He bowled over and told he would be using his IPod for most of the night(i had agreed to 30 minutes,as this night was one of my promotions ),but would need to check my tunes as he would be using some of them as well.
I told him he cant use my stuff if, he laid a finger on anything of mine i would throw him over the balcony.
Apparently i'm not a team player...
He was the typical arrogant arsehole DJ, he really was.I am normally helpful to people,but this bloke got up my nose from the off.He even strolled up with an entourage,to try and intimidate me.
Fucking idiot he was.

Hahaha!

Met plenty like him..... Meanwhile I've met plenty of bigger cheeses than these fools, that are way more humble; so why pander to their delusions.

I'm sorry I fucking hate this!

Let me start by saying it's a cracking tune, great to sing along to, so works really well for football. (and maybe, just maybe there's a tiny let off because it's a national team playing in front of fans that don't go to football matches or only watch football every 4yrs).

BUT

Having a DJ on a PA system at a stadium dictate what the fans sing I'm 100% against it. It's worse than goal music. The genesis of my hate started following our 2008 win at the Kangeroo Cup, at the final whistle there was obvious joy, songs started to break out....TOTTENHAM SONGS, then over the fucking PA System turned up to 11 on the dial came that all-time Tottenham classic anthem High Ho Silver Lining!!! It drowned out our songs, we had to join in and sing it and they played it on loop for what seemed like 30mins.

Let the fans sing their own songs, generate their own atmosphere where and when they want, they aren't performing seals being conducted what to sing and when. Many clubs have adopted songs like this for their own, we've done that with Barry Manilow's can't smile without you, Ajax with Three Little Birds etc All have stories and urban myths about how/why they were acquired but it was the fans that choose them and why and where and when.

Mini-rant over, as you were.
