 That having been said - I don't think it's about bashing nights that are perennial favorites, as many popular nights were also mentioned on the same author's "Best Of DC DJ nights" entry. Everybody's entitled to their opinion - wouldn't people who post on a message board realize this?
 
 Different strokes for different folks, man.

I'm sure your favorable opinion has nothing to do with the fact that your night got listed in the best of...

What talent? DJ's have talent? I can piss seated, standing, and standing on one leg. Shouldn't I get paid for my talent?

yeah .. that's just plain ignorant.
 
 
 as for the article itself, that crap about "trance-remix asshole from NYC" was all douche. to get so snotty on someone you don't even know, or even have the time to do research on ... it's like, hey tool lady, go back to writing tips on fag haggery. Seriously, between this and the CP piece last week by Amanda Hess, there's too much energy spent on quips and too little on clues.

djs are like rappers . . . they steal other people's music and call it their own.  that's why most people love it; they're just as unoriginal as what they are listening to.

thedirector, callat703 and i were indeed at the blond redhead show.  good times.
 
 thedirector hasn't been posting as much recently b/c work has cut him off.  and if you know him, you'll understand why he isn't posting at night - things to see, people to do.
 
 those who think that all djs are talentless hacks either lack experience or are close-minded.  yes, there are a lot of bad or uninspiring djs out there just as there are a ton of bad or uninspiring bands.  a good dj != human jukebox (what a lot of people assume they are).  the fact that anyone can press "play" does make dj'ing acessible, but not everyone can keep a place dancing/interested all night long.  and there are technical skills involved, depending on the quality of the dj: beatmatching, making sure the keys of two tracks fit together, and you can get very creative with how songs are mixed/mashed together.  hell, just being able to get past what you think is good and play stuff that keeps everyone interested isn't the most common of attributes in people.

I should've disclosed that in my first post, but I didn't want to look like a spamtard. It has nothing to do with that - the only point I was trying to make was that Gawker gets a ton of traffic naturally.

You can't be serious. Are you implying that anyone could get on the decks and do what, for instance, DJ DK, Dave Nada, or Tittsworth do? You obviously have no clue what you're talking about.

I guess a better question might be...what retard would pay money to see/hear them do what they do, when there's plenty of live music as an alternative?
