    Angry I Hate Shitty and Pathetic Asshole DJs!

    WARNING: Long, grumpy, hangover rant ahead....

    Pardon my fellow DJs out there on SW. This is a rant. I repeat. This is just a rant.

    I hate this new fucking DJ that we have at my club. I took a couple of weeks off of work and he acts like he owns the Goddamned place now. I wanted to beat the FUCK outta him last night, I swear!

    First, I go to hand him my sign-in slip so he can put me on the rotation roster and politely tell him I want to dance to Reggae (I always start off with Reggae to introduce myself to the crowd because of my island-girl theme). He proceeds to ignore me and play with his computer system and look up 'Idontknowwhatthefuckforsomebodyelse.' I'm standing there tapping my heel waiting for him, and then politely ask him which dancer I will be dancing after. He proceeds to ignore me again. Finally I blurt out loudly, "Please let me know when you are finished doing what you are doing, so I can GET TO WORK!" I stomp off, and he says, "Yeah, baby, go ahead and get to work." I don't even know who the FUCK I am going to be dancing after for the next couple of hours-- I'm just working until I hear him call my stage name and say 'check sound.'

    So the second time I go to the booth to give him my songs, I tell him I want to dance to 'Prince.' I tell him I want to dance to 'Cream' first and then 'Erotic City.' He tells me, "Actually, I'm going to have you dance to 'Erotic City' first and then 'Cream' because we want to play the fast song first... we don't want to put the audience to sleep." WTF??? I tell him politely that I want the songs switched to the order I want them.
    Of course, when I go on stage... he has them playing in HIS order anyway!

    Also, while he was getting my songs, a random female custy came to booth and by coincidence requested him to play 'Prince.' He said to her, "If I play Prince do you promise to tip her?"...(as he points at me). Then he proceeds to tap me on the shoulder and say, "See? Now that girl is gonna tip you!" Like he did me the most GINORMOUS favor in the fucking world and I owe him BIG TIME. Motherfucker, PLEASE! I know how to do my damn job... and the girl probably would've come up to the stage and tipped me anyway (custies like this almost always do if you dance to a song they like). SHUT.THE.FUCK.UP and just push PLAY~!!!

    At the end of the night during tip-out, he was looking at me like I was going to give him a FAT tip, and I didn't. I gave him the minimum. Whatta fucking pain in the motherfucking ass! I know how to do my job. I am an independent contractor. You are the support staff. The more annoying you are and the harder you make it for me... the LESS you will get from me. Don't asshole DJs like this get it!?

    *exhales*

    Okay, that was my Wednesday night Stupid-Fuckstick-Dickbag DJ rant.

    I am totally fine with most DJ's, but- been there, done that and it effing sucks. I had a DJ BLACKBALL me because I wouldn't go on a date with him- I think he even wrote something on my card because after that, when I was onstage all the djs at that club played crap. It doesn't matter if you tip them well or not because I ALWAYS take care of the dj.

    I had one here in Nashville do that. He went from playing stuff I loved to playing the most random crap bullshit ever made. That prick made my life hell for a while until he transferred to another club.

    So yeah, yay for awesome dj's, and boo for assholes that suck.

    I never have understood this. Not even getting into taking revenge on a dancer for not fucking you, that's grounds for immediate execution of the DJ. I mean deliberately playing music a dancer doesn't like to fuck with her. I think I've done it twice in 9 years, only when was slow, and only after they had stiffed me for no reason at all several times running.

    It's like slitting your own throat. If the dancer hates the music, she's not going to dance well--or worse yet she might start gesticulating and/or yelling from the stage, etc. The show suffers, and when the show suffers you wind up making less money. If I get pissed at a dancer, and trust me it's happened many times, there are much better ways of dealing with it than killing your own show.

    Fortunately I could dance to the alphabet if I had to. I'm really not picky and they seem to appreciate it.
    So far I've only met one egotistical nutbag dj and it was possibly all the blow he was putting in his nose. My rant about him wouldn't be half as nice as the one you wrote.

    Well, I was Ms. Niceguy that night because I had just come back from a break. If he fucks with me tomorrow night all HELL is going to break loose.

    I must be one lucky dancer because I have danced in over 10 clubs and met many DJs and only had one bad experience with one and he quit the same weekend I started. I'm sorry you are having a hell of a time with your new DJ. Maybe his ego will calm down in a few more weeks.

    Ohhhh man...not a happening deal. I've dealt with *takes a second to count* nine DJs in one club since starting early last november and I've only had major problems with two. I initially hated Steve's guts (the classic "you play me good music THEN I tip you" vs. "You tip me THEN I play good music" problem.) for about three months but now we get along fine.

    Kevin though was flat-out unexcusable. It was either I rearrange my schedual to never work with him or flying footwear headed directly from my hand to his face. Luckly everybody hated him and he didn't last long. My day-to-day revenge on his shittyness was to dick his tip to below-minimum.

    It could be worse. One dj at my club makes the most UNSEXY comments and thinks he's sooooo funny for it.

    Example:

    One day he announced a girl on stage as " _______, who's allergic to tomatoes. One day she drank too many bloody Mary's at Olive Garden and puked all over ________. Don't give this girl any ketchup!"

    Yeah, customers REALLY want to hear that kind of thing....

    *sighs* I'm just FREAKISHLY picky about DJs. Usually when a new one starts I get all bitchtastic cause I'm testing them out. After a while a rapore to some extent will develop and life is fine. That isn't always the case though and it's those times where I use my music gekk skills to try to wreak as much havoc as possible.

    Mostly I just wish we could get four good DJs (technically two since Steve and Cassidy are already superb) to stick around for a while cause I'm tired of dealing with n00bs.

    Nope...I NEED good DJs arguably as much as oxygen for assorted reasons. I'm harsh, the first set they throw me will either make them or break them. They also get one question, "do you have AFI or Blaqk Audio?" If they can take these two bands and expand upon them, they win my love and adoration. If they use the bands incorrectly to pidgeon-hole me, they die a bloody and explosive Mortal Kombat style death.

    Also, if you rely on me to know shit you should already know too much, I will not be happy. Like I told Zach on sunday:
    Me: Do I LOOK like a DJ?!
    Him: Yes.
    Me: Rephraise that, am I PAID to be a DJ?
    Him: No.
    Me: Then don't expect me to be your brain unless you pay me.
