why don't DJs make their own fricken music instead of taking the credit for someone else's. "man, that dj sure can spin!" what? he can put a needle on a record and make it go in circles. most of the time the dude is pickin his nose or smokin a blunt. and if i have to hear anymore scratchmological waxploitation from those damn Invisible Scratch Pickles i'll shoot everyone in my school. (who says industrial music is the driving force behind this trend?) much respect to greg, andrew and others of your breed that discjockey to promote the genre and the artists rather than satisfying an ego. tomas np: Joan of Arc - Live in Chicago, 1999 Glenn Bach wrote: > > > DJs don't do shit. > > If there is no wink accompanying that statement, then I have to speak up.
