My favorite requests as an occasional dj . . . While playing tribal house at an outdoor event in the Bay Area: "Hey, do you have any Primus?" Nope, sorry, none in the record bag today.
Well, at least they had good taste. While playing Looking Good/Metalheadz style jungle at a club in Portland: "Hey, do you have any Beastie Boys?" Well, I'm not a big fan of their music but they're good guys, you know. Nope, sorry, none in the crate today. (What this told me is that it was the Beasties' turn in the radio "golden oldies" rotation that regularly picks up whatever was a big hit 10, 15, 20 years ago "this month". People ask for what they hear. Guess I'm lucky it wasn't a request for BSB . . .) fh
