WORST DJ Ever!

I went to Chocolate Lounge with my friend last night for a party. The place is nice, once big room with couches and a few tables. I thought I was going to have a nice time.

When I came in, they had some nice reggae going. But I new something was wrong when one reggae song stopped dead before the other one started. The key to a good DJ is mixing songs so that they seemlessly mix into one another. So to summerize my horrible music experience, I'd like to present:

Top Ten Signs You Should Not Be A DJ (in no particular order)

  1. You can't mix one song into another when they have the same beat.
  2. You can't mix one song into another when they have similar beats.
  3. The promoter has to interrupt to thank people for staying.
  4. You have to "pulllll uuuupp" on ever song just to keep the crowd hyped.
  5. Even the bouncers are talking about how bad you are.
  6. There are less than 100 peeps in the club at last call.
  7. Your reggae selections include "Could you Be Loved" by Bob Marley.
  8. You cut the music to hear the crowd singing along and there's no one singing.
  9. You play the same song twice in a row because you don't know what to play.
  10. You choose Backstreet Boys to play at last call.
Yes folks, all these things occurred last night, and I am apalled. Luckily I had good company, otherwise the night would have been a total wash out. I told the promoter on my way out that if he ever wanted a real DJ I could find him one, but this guy should never play in this town again.
