To The DJ's

[Destroit]

the whole initial point of this thread has been lost. The point trying to be made was recognizing DJ's for their specific musical specialties (goth, noise, psychobilly). Once again it's turned into another thread for what would you like to hear the DJ's spin. There's already a thread for that.

It's not just about the music being played but rather distinguishing which DJ's are playing which styles and granting them more leeway in exploring that style while providing you the club goers a LOT more in that preferred genre - which is often times more expansive than you would think rather than limited. It's about taking your request for goth stuff to the goth DJ's so it will be heard more often rather than ignored by a noise DJ who probably doesn't have it in his/her collection or more likely simply hates that shit. Likewise it's about recognizing that noise DJ is trying to introduce you all to something different than that expected industrial top 40 of the usual tunes.

Seems like a no brainer win-win situation for the customers and the DJ's...

Spook you're idea is kinda cool - we could start at 4pm so Phee could be home by 7pm, just in time for his Matlock stories!!! (you know I like to kid)

Yes, whoever said it was the same stuff over and over again (or same sounding stuff) really doesn't like the genre period. I'm 25, have been listening to everything in the gothic/industrial genre that I can since I was 16. That's almost a decade and I'm not anywhere close to having heard all of it. Just sounded like an ignorant statement from that person, if you don't love the music than this is not the thread for you (or scene, imo, there's tons of bars for other genres not gothic/industrial, whereas we have ohh like one or two.) The last thing I want is for someone to muck it up with something OTHER than what it's intended to be, or with piles of mainstream shit (why I didn't go to The Ritz on Thursdays) with you know a song here song there kind of exception!

Also, many youngins can't HEAR any of the classics or obsolete songs or experience it because so much is difficult to find. Before Pandora and Last.fm it was all MP3, and honestly I felt dirty downloading them anyway when I was a kid because they weren't legal. So it was CDs (and for young people this is hard because you don't know WHAT to buy and usually have less money) and what random songs and singles you could find off Limewire. With Pandora and Last.fm the dirty stealing-factor is removed and there is a bit wider of a selection, but it is still not fully encompassing of the scene. They won't play everything, there's set tracks from each album from an artist that tend to queue up. But DJs are to their own discretion and can pick any song off of any album they have, exposing all of us to MOAR.

That's why this idea is so ingenious, because I know what I'm getting when I get there (with expected and welcome surprises and variations, of course). I REALLY don't see how anyone could argue it.

Just delete the damn thread.

All the DJ's will continue withplaying the same shit in different order, as apposed to trying to have there own individuality. And I will go back to being a dick and just saying "NO" to all of the requests I think are shit as apposed to trying to help and say "I wont play it, but THAT DJ will". and in turn, everyone can continue the circle of saying some DJ sucks because they didnt play there request, fuck it. The only people that have even bothered in the thread were either sarcastic, derailing, or dont even attend the clubs anymore.

Enjoy your "goth/industrial" nights...
