Perhaps the 'DJ' types could do a live set - unplugged and without effects - that'd be something to see.
Or maybe they could just plug in their latest computerised, compressed-to-buggery-plagiarised-shitefest on a stick into the laptop and fuck off to the bar awaiting the adulation of the mentally subnormal deformed cunts who like that sort of thing.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 9 Dec 2013, 17:43, Reply)

There's a lot more to DJing than you think, Gramps.
You have to have a good ear for beat matching and timing. You need to really know the tunes you are playing and how they mould to another tune.

Several mates of mine also produce their own mixes and compose melodies.

and this is before you add effects to a song to make it sound different.

It's not just hit a button and make bleep bloop noises.

also, it takes a lot more skill to do it properly than it does to learn some basic chords and be able to play acoustic guitar
I am generalizing a bit here, but any old cunt can learn to play wonderwall, house of the rising sun, creep, if you could read my mind etc etc but very few DJs can mix like Jeff Mills.

you see, the fact that the sync button is eschewed the vast majority of DJs should show that the whole 'memory stick in laptop and then fuck off' thing
Is something that Placid has invented because he has no idea about how electronic music is composed, produced or performed. Or that while there is a lot of cheap shitty chart dance, it bears little resemblance to good stuff. Or the amount of time, effort and skill that goes into good electronic stuff. Or that DJing is a fundamentally different performance paradigm from bands playing live. It's no better or worse (if there things can be defined in such asinine terms), just fundamentally different.

Plus, he's a boring wanker.
