Our man's point was that it's not about how you look or how long you've been around, it's how you present yourself. Too many up-and-coming DJ's/producers/promoters/partygoers walk around like they're the shit/god's gift to technohousedrumnbasstrancewhatever when they really have no clue as to what the hell they are talking about or listening/dancing to. Many of us who came up in the early days listened, observed, paid attention, respected the people who had been before us and learned about the music and the scene. Sadly, that's not always the case when you go to a rave these days. >I am never going to another party ever, ever again. Grow up. pw
Re: (313) Rave betty Barbie and DJ Ken
Gee, thanks for the scolding, Miss Emma from Australia. Nice sentiment in the second paragraph, but why don't you save the pseudo-spiritual gobbledegook for someone who cares... I've earned my right to criticize. For the record, my sarcastic comment was based around 1) the acceleration of DJ/Turntable culture as a hot 'trend' in the US in particular (especially as evidenced in advertising - which is another topic altogether) and 2) my disdain for the proliferation of DJ's 'who don't know their place.' as evidenced at WMC this year. I find nothing wrong with someone wanting to learn to/be (a) DJ. Hell, my own girlfriend is learning to spin. Agreed, everyone starts somewhere. Nothing's wrong with the adult entertainment profession as long as you're cool with it (although its not for everyone). Nor is there anything wrong with making your own CD's or shopping your original demo. It's about how you present yourself. You couldn't walk around the (overly crowded) pool area this year and discreetly give a white label to anyone without being attacked by vinyl vultures. And the worst part was that when you didn't have anything in the genre of music that they played or you said no, they were offended and felt like because they were "DJ Whothefuckever" from 'Oklahoma' and they spin on a cable carrier college/internet radio station you owed them something. If all that makes me elitist, fine. I don't care. pw In a message dated 4/12/00 8:35:21 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >tsk tsk on a lot of levels. >*sigh* > >your whole post reads as elitist and I can't see that 313 is about >that, though I wonder at times.

Rave betty Barbie and DJ Ken
So I'm watching Batman Beyond this afternoon (working from home has its advantages) and a commercial came on and I about fell over and died. What in God's name were they advertising? A DJ Ken doll!!! Complete with a turntable and mixer!!! Yes, now your little sister's Barbie can get down with the underground and be a DJ groupie (or kick Ken off the decks for his wack skillz and take over herself...). As if all the DJ Wannabes from Oklahoma hanging around the Radisson pool at WMC with their stripper girlfriends and their home-burned mix CD's wasn't enough... PW
