Come on! Every DJ set gets a better venue than the last! Seriously, just look at this. Peterson & Kruder at the Audioroom There's a link to the photos right under the flyer... talk about atmosphere.
And this... you could do anything with it, if you actually had the guts! Trying to sell Mercury Rev at Aquarius? Trying to pull that off with one Mercury Rev? Please. Just go dig ditches instead... you won't need any conscience for that..
What a disaster. A complete failure of artistic vision... Honestly, this would’ve been better suited for my grandma's garage sale than at Aquarius. Total joke.
They might as well bury themselves along with the Aquarius organizers. They're going straight to hell for this mess.

That’s my point. But none of them hit like this one. It's not perfect, but it succeeds at capturing that specific vibe of Istanbul... even if just a little. 😉 At least for me.

Enjoy yourself. At least it's warm and safe in the herd.
Are you actually reading my posts, or just blindly quoting them? If you were, you wouldn't be asking questions that have already been answered, nor would you be recycling my own arguments as if they were yours.
I went into full detail about the content back in my first post.
A commercial could work, but maybe during late-night programming... something like an "unplugged" style show.
I think telling someone to go fuck their mother is bottom-tier behavior.
Maybe that kind of talk is common where you're from, but not for me.
Josh, you're being pretty immature if you don't get how culture works and how it shows up through language. You're young, though... maybe you'll grow out of it. 😉
Subcultures have always existed and they should, but being unrefined shouldn't be the dominant thing in a society... like what you see in parts of Canada or Mexico, or unfortunately a large part of America too. But there are other circles out there. Because once that lack of refinement takes over and people lose their sense of culture, they just start telling each other to go fuck their mothers.
Not my vibe. Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of that whole rural persona he tries to push. It just isn't my speed... but I guess when your life lacks any real perspective, you don't have much of a choice.
Just the desperate cry of someone lost in the Middle East.
Wait, hasn't Ivan been writing about this for years already? 😕
If you like it, fine, listen to it at home—and turn it up! 👍
His critique is valid, sure—but his delivery? Not so much.
He’s actually leaning into that exact same primitivism he’s complaining about. There's such a thing as a level of sophistication in how people express themselves. Even if one doesn't strictly require the other. 😕 What, are we supposed to blast that stuff out loud in the middle of a shopping mall?
