I’m actually really curious about this—if anyone happens to know roughly what kind of rates we're looking at so I can get a ballpark idea... I realize it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-all price for everyone, but just generally speaking, how much does it cost? And how does it usually work when a DJ shows up—like, do they bring their own gear, or do they just plug into whatever is already there?

Man, they might actually start paying you for those sets 😱

Adam Moore is easily the worst DJ out there 😈

Well, fair point, I wasn't really vibing to black metal😬
but I did drop some Lightning Bolt on them!
No biggie though, since everyone’s been sending me tracks lately, here's one for the road😘

I already dropped those new fossils before Sunn did lol, so where else would I go?!
And here I thought you guys actually liked me...🙂

I didn't catch you playing Lightning Bolt, but respect for that. You usually play good music for when you're home alone—you know, after crushing an exam, getting dumped by a girl, and now just sitting there eating ice cream.

I dig Kid A, but honestly, I’d much rather listen to Rappin' or Radiohead when I'm out somewhere.
And I don't really find this whole thing funny either—like the ironic Spice Girls stuff and all that.

I’d probably just throw on "Wannabe" right after "I'm Too Sexy"—no irony intended.

sorry, but I honestly think Wannabe is easily one of the top 50 songs ever! I never listen to Muse ironically; if I play it, it’s because I actually dig it. And just so we're clear, I'm not taking your critiques too seriously—I'm mostly just joking around with you... as for your recommendations, I actually liked one of them. I don't even know the title, I just know it's a total banger 😬

🤔 Well, feel free to edit it as much as you want, I guess.😈

Honestly, I think this song is a total vibe. I don't care what anyone else thinks about it. And hey man, don't be so silly 😛

Now, listen here... we can sit around debating, trading barbs, being completely ridiculous, or perhaps just slightly less ridiculous... but at the end of the day, nothing beats heading home to a warm meal from Mom... or, you know, a girlfriend. 🙂

The only Kovač I listen to is my buddy Matej Mišo Kovač! 😬

Is it just me, or is everyone else feeling a little bit OT lately? 🙂

I was wondering—does anyone know a DJ who plays more of those foreign vibes, you know, stuff like house, trance, and that whole scene?
