GOD IS A THONG SNAPPER
As a licensed FCC operator, I am often asked why I don’t extend my disc-jockey skills to the club scene.
Well, it’s probably to do with my name.
No one will hire you with a name like that. Not even strip clubs. But I’m not changing my name to DJ Funkee Beatz or something. It’s not who I am.
FUN FACT: I have done the party DJ gig exactly two (2) times in my life.
The first was at a Holiday Inn lounge in Clarksville, TN, where they did not appreciate my Jason & The Scorchers records. Or the fact that I refused to play anything by Chicago. Or Skynyrd. Or Lee Greenwood.
The second was at a WIDB party in Carbondale, IL. I forget the name of the venue (some club on the strip), but I did get a reprimand for playing Superchunk’s “Slack Motherfucker” – even though one of my fellow IDBers (Slacker Jen) demanded it. I think we both were right in the end, but I paid the price – it was only after I got back to my studio apt that I realized someone had stolen all my Danzig and Frank Zappa albums.
Which is the other reason I don’t DJ anymore.
Put the needle on the record,
This is dF
