I heard some electronic rmx of a black sabbath song forget wha it is, sweet leaf maybe? > "can you play something more danceable" is also quite common, as well as > "do you have any hip hop", "can you play <insert local rock band name > here>" etc.. > my favorite is when guys walk up and ask, er um more like demand, to "flow" over what ever i'm playing. then when i say i'm really not into that, they stand there and yell raps in my face like that is going convince me. this happens everytime at co-op parties and last friday i thought this guy wanted to punch me, instead he kept calling me a "hater" and proceded to ruin an already messed up vibe by the fuzz. had someone once ask me to "can you play some hank", i replied which one. my fiend was playing a wedding reception, this guy walked up and asked if he had a cd player. he said no, the guy replies "i have this alice dj set, let me pull my car around and we can rock out". i have found the best way to deflect these question with a positve out come is to say i play vinyl and if they have any records they want me to play to bring them up. i know one day this will bite me in the ass when that person has the record on them. guess then it's on to plan b to put the record where they can see it and when they ask why i have not played it yet reply, "i'm trying ot work it in". scotto lansing, mi. plaztikjezuz.com
