You know when you're dancing and you read all these things into what the dj is trying to do - do you think they really are trying to do them? And does it matter if they aren't?

Just occurs to me is all. Because if you ever get the live set off slsk after the event and listen to it, it always sounds suck compared to your memory. And all those clever connections that you thought were being made just come across as a fairly crass attempt to be "eclectic" or display some sense of history. Also not helped by people like Michael Mayer talking about only ever mixing records at the beginning and end. Like I thought there was so much more going on there! Such disillusionment.

I like a non-intrusive DJ. I want the food brought out to my table, and I don't care if the waiter can do a headflip and a juggling act on the way.

I like a DJ who doesn't place their own set over the music they're supposed to be featuring.

I resent the involvement of DJs in my life, and I say that as an ex-DJ. Of course, I'm not much of a dancer, more of a barfly boozer type. At least when I go out. The DJs primary motive is to keep people dancing and buying drinks, so he/she should probably just shut the fuck and spin some music.
