(20 minutes of typing later and i just deleted the whole thing. yeah. kinda went off on a rant and figured i needed the paycheck.)
Club is still going. Personal life is still happening. Grey hair is still popping out. And my old age is showing: music these days is starting to sound dumber than ever.
"Dubstep". 99.9% of it is un-danceable garbage, and the rest i can't get ANY customers to dance to. it just ain't happening.
"hip-hop/rap" most of what they are describing as hip-hop or rap these days is unrecognizable compared to hip-hop and rap from the 80's or 90's. most of the newer stuff is not "floor-filler" material until it's been remixed to death.
Country. to quote a Travis Tritt song title: "Country Ain't Country No More". some of it has started doing like the rap of the early 2000's - slower songs with no real energy. regional influences are affecting things too - Zac Brown being a big example. backwoods Georgia tunes on Nashville-type stations..."Texas Country" is so mainstream country sounding now that when a customer comes up and asks if i have any, there are times when i just want to say "No, I just have country."
Can't beat sense into some people... but you can make em dance!
things to look for: new LED's, blacklights, VirtualDJ, and new TV's
yeah, a few upgrades. still got video issues but not as bad. waiting with everyone else in the Virtual DJ community for version 8 to drop on us. got a sneak preview earlier this year and all i can say is "WOW!"
Nap time. getting tired, so gonna stop. hopefully it won't be too long between posts this time..
