The Conservatives worrying about bankers is a bit like showing concern for the hedges in the Grand National rather than the horses.

GQ, my thoughts on the article. I would normally not even care but this article really got to me, how it could even be published with so little truth and misquotations.
So this interview was made over the course of 4-5 days where a freelance reporter followed me and my crew around on tour up until new years eve. Reporter Jessica Pressler BEGINS by describing my fans as "douchebags" - not as a quote - but as an (her) obvious impression in the introduction to the text. The preamble to that describes people attending to my shows as drug addicts!
She goes on to describe how I plan my sets only to contradict herself saying I go over my planned time cause I'm having so much fun with my crowd. Anyone reading this article should know it's very subjectively twisted by someone who has a) no experience of this scene or insight to a DJs profession at all and b) has no interest in really understanding it either. How on earth the fact that I complain when an opening DJ plays some of the peak time tracks I usually play somewhere in my set becomes the conclusion that I only touch volume faders is beyond me and even though I could beat mix in my sleep doesn't allude any kind of respect which I find deeply insulting. I would never lay down a pre-programmed set and performed to a pre-mixed CD, I would never cheat my fans like that. Period. For the record, the only planning I do is check transitions so that I don't have to pre-program anything and still make sure I bring it to my fans. A lot of work and thinking goes into my DJing. I want the entire night to progress seamlessly and when I have to adapt the energy on the fly for the crowd on any given night, I can do so with harmonic mixes that I've practiced over and over again. I am far from the only DJ that does this and it's something I take pride in being able to do. Truth is that at bigger festivals or solo shows I know what people want to hear and my set is a compromise between what I want to play for them and what people come and expect to hear me play for them. At a smaller club show I can wing it completely.
Some people are known for certain things, some DJs like A-trak, Steve Angello and Laidback Luke are excellent technical DJs, something I will never be, and have a whole different approach to their performances.
I mean everything even down to the tracks I play she got wrong in this article. I wouldn't adress this and bring more attention to it if I really didn't feel that this article was truly unfair and incorrect. She draws up this disgusting picture of the electronic music crowd being constantly high, ugly, uneducated, dumb and "douchy", while I feel they are caring, loving, positive and the complete opposite of what she says. Sure people do drugs and party but that is nothing exclusive to this music genre. It looks like the journalist wanted the GQ readers to buy into that stigma.
We agreed to let GQ into our camp to actually portray a serious side of this music to the masses who might not now and might not understand. We hoped they could unveil and communicate the reason for there being so much love within, and how such a great community has risen organically for, this music genre. The problem was that a journalist that knows nothing of electronic music was sent to be on the road with me for a couple of days and then tried piecing together what it's all about. She failed miserably

I am still amazed at people and how conformed they are to their little box of beliefs you have the gays pissed off at the Christians, you have the unemployed pissed off at the unions, you have the gun grabbers vs gun lovers, all on the grounds of equality lol watching all the special interest money funnel into the groups to project their game plan...all the while screaming Equal rights, Constitution, FREEDOM, Fairness All the while the ones who take the money are sitting back laughing their asses off all the way to the bank....when will we learn...

Every now and then, we all need to take a time out. I am grateful for the time to rest, reflect and recharge while surrounded by family. Have a great week!

Things are heating up in Thirteen. Plans are being concocted, soldiers readied, healers aware. Time is ticking down before the plans begin. The Leader is often found in her office, either in meetings or alone and making her own plans. Deputies are around, keeping people in line for now. Spies situated in the Capitol bring information back daily, new information about the President and other prominent people around.

So....arse clown is spewing his vile crap again. That would be John McCririck who stated today re The Grand National that animal rights campaigners want horses to die in the Grand National to further the cause.
Before he starts spouting off this rubbish he needs to look closer to home and realise what a sexist, insensitive, rude and mentally challenged little nob that he is.

I have many friends with the pro same-sex marriage themed profile pictures. I have many friends without them. Some of my groups of friends have lots of them. Some of them have few or none. My thesis? Very few people actually know each other outside their zone of comfort.
