What don't you get

also Instagram - I honestly don’t get why people flock to celeb accounts to demand they take a stand on Gaza. Did nobody study the 2024 US election? Celebs have zero influence now, either in elections or on policy. Wrestlers have more influence than pop stars.

You press the Instagram logo top left and change to following instead. No way to set it as default as far as I can see though!

How do you get followers only on desktop? Sorry for being a Luddite

Game changer. I do like some feeds but not enough to wade thru the rest

I tried & it didnt work for Insta

Any tips?

I was playing a new bar last week that has a nice sound system and nice fit out. I had made a bit of an effort with my set because I really wanted to get the vibe right. A couple of DJ’s showed up drunk, from their gig earlier(I know these 2 slightly, and have talked a couple of times but we are not really “friends”) one got some 7’s out and laid them on the console and said "is it ok if we play a couple?
I was a bit confronted, but said that they could play a few. As soon as they started playing the volume went right up and they were pretty much playing peak hour vibe. I immediately regretted letting them on and realised that ‘I’ had been booked, and to let somebody else on was a bad move.

After about 15 minutes I just physically pushed back behind the decks and put a record on.

Really bad form looking back. It’s interesting to see that I’m still making mistakes like that after so many years.

Sydney seems to be full of restaurants that have DJ’s. For me there is absolutely no reason to do this and I refuse all gig invitations to play them.

Cheeky cunts.
Not a fan of that kind of behaviour, drunk or not

Amazes me that this behaviour still goes on. I can’t think of any other job where someone would willingly ask to interrupt and take over another persons work. Next level arrogance.

Kudos for bringing it back to your vibe.

I had to draw the line when I saw one of them get out an edit that I had been waiting to play. I kind of came to my senses then.

If anyone fancies barging in and taking over my day job for a few hours, my DM’s are open.

Same here. There’s trips to Zurich, New York, Honolulu and Seattle in the next 3 months for you as well if we’re competing, Howler.

Lol! :rofl:

Has mainstream music kind of “stopped” or is it so fragmented that there just arent universally known popular songs anymore?

Im away on hols in Majorca on an all inclusive with the family. First time we’ve done it and a few pros aside, cant say i recommend it. Its something of an endurance test, not in any small part due to the heat which is insane at times and i cant see how this is a sustainable model.

Anyway, when i was a kid abroad you’d be out and about and hear the big songs of the day at the beach, funfairs or wherever. Was out last night and aside from the tribute bands banging out the 70s and 80s standards, all I heard was Robin S, Dr Alban, fucking Hanson, Culture Beat, MJ, Madonna etc

Its weird right?
