I think the pleasure to be had is knowing that someone is there controlling the floor with their music. Knowing that they aren't there would spoil it somehow - like when they used to do ISDN sets from Fuse in Belgium at The End in London - even though it was 'live' it just didn't quite work somehow. But strangely I can have the best night out ever with my back turned from the DJ, though it is also great to see the DJ bopping away enjoying himself.

Would you apply the same thinking to a turntabalist? Does a live band need to put on a show if the music in itself is wholly sufficient. If you take it one step further then why bother with DJs at all? You may as well just play pre-recorded mix CDs in clubs, at least that way you can guarantee a flawless, perfectly mixed set of all the best music. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 9:38 AM Subject: Re: (313) iPod DJ > > since when did a dj have to put on a 'show'? > > oh, wait, I know, since all the idiots who put dj's on pedestals wanted to > see one. > > dj = disc jockey, someone who plays records yeah? thats the entertainment. > you know, the sounds coming out the speakers. > > f**k me, have a dance, lose yourself in music, hey, maybe even try some > social interaction - give it a whirl - sometimes it can be a rewarding > experience. > > don't watch the dj, thats for f**king idiots. > _________________________________________________________________ > --------------------- End of message text -------------------- > > This e-mail is sent by the above named in > their individual, non-business capacity and > is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. > > PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP may monitor > outgoing and incoming e-mails and other > telecommunications on its e-mail and > telecommunications systems.
