Hang The DJ






“Hey DJ, how about playing something that doesn’t suck.” If you’ve ever found yourself saying or thinking this while you’re at a bar/club being forced to endure “Mr. Brightside” for the forth time, then you probably agree that “DJ’s” are coming up short.

First of all, why are there so many DJ’s? I always see these fliers for some bullshit dance night at the newest hipster hangout, and there are like 14 DJ’s on the bill. What the fuck? Is it really necessary to have 14 douche bags in vintage band t-shirts play the same Peaches song? And what is with the nicknames? You can call yourself whatever you want because it’s not going to change the fact that you’re a nerd with an ipod and a self-declared moniker. Most of these fucking idiots have no clue what good music is, which evident by the fact they play songs like Satisfaction and Smells Like Teen Spirit—how original, why not just play the 500 greatest songs of all time as determined by Rolling Stone. And it doesn’t really matter if you play vinyl or from your ipod, bad music is bad music regardless of the medium. I know the Killers are popular, but that doesn’t mean they don’t suck. If you’re just gonna play what’s popular, why are there more than 1 of you?
