The trailer for the upcoming season finale has been on tv a lot lately. Anyone know the song being played on it?
NM! I figured it out. :D
Coming Undone by Korn. New stuff, no wonder I didnt know it.
Jesus! Korn, on mainstream TV?!
Maybe I should start watching it, lol...
Is it a remix? Most of their stuff is too heavy for mainstream--which is a good thing, actually.
That's a pretty mainstream song, off their newest cd. I like it though. Good for the SC, heavy but not obnoxious, and barely over 3 minutes long. The only remix I have heard of it was on Promo Only last month, and it sucked cheese.
I saw a commercial for CSI Miami last night, but it was something electro/rockish, with Chuck D samples in it going "now we gonna get...wicked...wicked..w-w-w-wwicked". Not sure what that one was.
MrC, haven't seen that particular commercial, but it sounds to me like a riff off the ending lyric of "Bring The Noise", where he says "hear the drummer get wicked".
Funny story--the new club has a computer full of all kinds of songs, which I use part of the time. I remembered this thread, and there's a dancer who loves Korn, but I usually save it for later in the night, when the old guys are home asleep, etc.
So I saw "Right Now", and even though I have the CD it's from and should have known better, I tried it thinking it might be this one, and more acceptable for the older crowd that was there early on.
Wrong...
Wrong song--me and my bad memory for names, lol...
I should have checked it out on the headphones first, but you have to switch them from the CD player to the computer, and I was outta time.
No harm done, the girl loved the song, the guys didn't mind, I played a fossil rock song next...
How is the new club workin out for ya?
Not well--the manager is a great guy, and he constantly tells me what a great DJ I am, but the money sucks (I get a dollar for every VIP from every dancer, but when it's slow like it's been, that ain't much), and the dancers aren't allowed to tip--which is obviously not a good policy in my mind, lol.
Furthermore, the DJ booth is walled off by smoked glass, so it's hard to see what the hell is happening--if the dancer likes the song, if she doesn't, if the guys are tipping, if they aren't, if one of the dancers is tipping (always a great thing to talk up "Don't be shy guys, get on up there yourselves!", etc. You can't even see what kind of crowd is in the club, unless you periodically glance out.
The last time I worked I was getting tired of looking out of the booth constantly to see what was up, and consequently announced a dancer as being onstage for two songs, and she wasn't even fucking there. Needless to say I was annoyed--this makes me look like a fucking jerk...
Worst of all about this is that it really destroys the rapport with the dancers, which has always been the heart of my style as a DJ. I watch them onstage far more when I'm working than in any club as a customer, so I can stay tuned to their mood, and this kills it. I'm not meant to be a jerk in a fucking closet. If the money was good, it might be tolerable, but it's isn't, so it's not.
Furthermore they have had so much trouble with asshole DJs trying to screw all the dancers that they discourage them from talking to me, I'm not allowed in there on my nights off, etc. So much for the rapport.
The songs are cut at 2 minutes by the end of the night, not much longer in the beginning, so there's little time to figure out the best song to play for the dancers and the crowd.
I've about had it, lol...
Everything that was wrong with the old club is right, here--but everything that was good about the old club, like actually enjoying the experience, is abysmally bad here. Since I made more than twice as much before, you can imagine how tempted I am when the cool owner of the two from the old club calls me and asks me to come back.
Well, you asked a simple question, and got a rant, lol--sorry--but thanks for asking!
"Aren't allowed to tip"? How completely bogus! Plus the song cutting, the smoky glass (what the hell is the point of that anyway?) . . . you deserve SO much better. I'm sure you've heard this a million times, but I wish you were my DJ! You and Mr. Christopher, too.
Never thought you'd long for Asian hookers and alcoholic has-beens, did ya?
LOL, Rose...
And thanks!
Yeah, missing Lola, the 53 year old Asian hooker, would be pretty funny. But the one thing that made the old club tolerable was the humor of the situation--on any given night there'd be something, if not several somethings, to laugh about. Even if some of those somethings sometimes brought a small shudder of revulsion initially, it was better than being bored and underpaid.
Towards the end, when I was aware that my time there was limited, it really hit me that the way to deal with the less pleasant aspects of working there was to relax and view it even more as a strange and twisted movie. The new club is more like watching really boring soaps (but I hate TV, lol), through a thick smoked glass panel...
The real solution, of course, is to get the hell out of Daytona, since my purpose for being here is long done with--my mom is gone, and my stepdad is starting to move on with his life.
