Yes that's true, but I find that being a DJ it is also an opportunity to
expose people to stuff they've not heard before, and to get them
interested in where I'm coming from. My theory is that if the crowd
likes the Kinks' "All Day And All Of The Night" or the Who's "Can't
Explain" they may want to check out Carnaby's "Jump And Dance" or The
(Dutch) Outsiders "That's Your Problem" because all songs open up same
way. The Small Faces have dancable songs that are ten times better than
"Whatcha' Gonna Do About It" like "I Can't Make It" and "I Can't Dance
With You". I'm saying open up to what myself and others are trying to
expose you to. I won't spin britpop because I'm not interested and you
can't dance to it, besides, if I was going to play anything remotely
modern, the Prisoners and Makin' Time would be played long before Blur
or Ocean Colour Scene.
