So I played a private event in Boston this past Saturday. Here's a list of songs requested by the birthday girl. I shit you not. And I played most of them too.Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time"Santana "Smooth" feat. Rob ThomasMariah Carey "Fantasy"Hanson "Mmm Bop"Blackstreet "No Diggity"Backstreet Boys "Everybody"Backstreet Boys "I Want It That Way"TLC "No Scrubs"Will Smith "Gettin??? Jiggy Wit It"Spice Girls "Wannabe"Boyz II Men "I???ll Make Love To You"Mariah Carey "Dreamlover"Ricky Martin "Livin??? La Vida Loca"K-Ci and JoJo "All My Life"Sugar Ray "Fly"Ace Of Base "The Sign"Christina Aguilera "Genie In A Bottle"Christina Aguilera "What A Girl Wants"Christina Aguilera "Come On Over"Saying though - the shit that trips me out is that it was a girl's 21st birthday party and there was no requests for anything aside from this late 90s pop music. It just didn't make sense to me that there wouldn't be anything relatively contemporary... like no Missy Elliott? Color me disconnected but fuck it, she wanted it, she got it.BONUS BEATS: The sister of the birthday girl came up to me at the beginning of the night and said "If you have it, could you play Vanilla Ice's 'Ninja Rap' later on tonight? That's our SONG!" So I downloaded it from Amazon and put that shit in the mix.OOohhh lordy, how I've soold my soul... but it was ALL WORTH IT hahahah!

    Wow... once you throw in the towel and start playing this stuff i imagine it just becomes Frickin' hilarious right? i mean, i bet you had fun, -surreal, what-the-fuck type fun, but fun nonetheless.

    Ninja rap? Dude.

    That party rules.
  • CosmoCosmo 9,768 Posts
    The fact that I got paid an ABSURD amount of money really makes up for anything, but yeah it was definitely hilarious. Hanson in the club, kid, I thought you knew.

    Why would someone pay so much money for a really good DJ only to not use their talent or taste in music and make them play that? It makes no sense why they didn't just have an ipod hooked up or some mobile disco type cheap guy... Glad you got paid big though.

    Nah I did my thing though. It was kind of like she wanted to hear those songs and left it up to me to fill in the rest. But honestly I don't give a fuck. You gonna pay me almost 5 figures for not quite 2 hours of work? I'll Frickin' spin Yanni while breakdancing. I don't give a fuck.

    I don't know, I think I'd get a certain pleasure out of watching a skilled DJ juggle doubles of I Want It That Way.

    I'm puzzled by the Ace of Base though - that must have come out when she was around 4/5 years old? I guess they truly are a band whose classics transcend generations.

    Almost 5 figures by the way?

    Dude, don't get it twisted though:

    I Want It That Way

    Incredible song. Amazingly well written and produced pop record.

    Oh no doubt, all irony aside you're preaching to the converted when it comes to recognising pop genius. The guys behind that were absolute killing it for a while there.

    Fly

    Incredibly awful song. Amazingly badly written and produced piece of shit record performed by a pack of dickheads.

    Dust Brothers produced that.

    but fuck it, she wanted it, she got it.




    i never understood the logic of djs that will gladly play any requested rap song, no matter how awful -because its rap, but stand on principle when 37 girls come up and request the same britney spears song.

    Get it how you know you want it.



    Why the hell not?

    Plus, I like hearing Ace of Base's The Sign at family-oriented social events....especially when wooden decks and cold seafood are involved.

    I like how you played three Aguilera songs in the row at the end. Plaese to post the actual "History of 90's Pop" mix.
  • GaryGary 3,982 Posts
    When I was in Korea about 2 years back I heard the illest version of "oops i did it again" in the subway platform. It was men singing, and there was like trombones and shit, and it was almost like a slow ska version of the song. it was a trip. I need that.

    Anybody ever heard of this? I swear at the time it sounded kinda dope.

    We need the Rub to do one year for year - so we can hear how Ace of Bases sound evolved over the years.

    Bonus fact: Ulf, main songwriter for Ace of Base, was a neo nazi in his youth. He even had a nazi punk band that recorded some songs. They were compiled by a Swedish magazine - the comp was titled "Uffe was a nazi".

    Nah it wasn't quite like that, that' just the list as it was given to me. However I did BLOW MINDS when I did the Backstreet Boys "Everybody" into "Getting Jiggy With it" into HANSON into Sugar Ray. Them kids were Frickin' FEEEEEELING IT. It was crazy. My homegirl who was there was just like "YO SHIT I can't believe that you just did that, and make it actually sound good."

    Unrelated, I'm listening to this thing called Black Spade "The Actioneer EP" and it's Frickin' INSANE how good it is.

    I don't think anyone in their right mind would turn down close to $10,000 for a DJ gig.

    you'd be surprised how lazy and/or self-righteous deejay dudes can be.
