I don't know if anybody else is as pissed off with DJ sets as I am but they really offend me to the very depths of my soul. Its one thing for a DJ to get recognition and fame for basically playing other people's records really well but it gets really tedious when we have the likes of Peaches (who the fuck am I and what do I do? oh right my dad's knighted) Geldof showing up to a department store opening to play her IPod for a few minutes and then getting bored and slinking off.

Its especially annoying when a band who are quite totally decent decide to do a DJ set and charge as much for that as they would for their regular slot. Its even worse when you get sold tickets under the delusion that its a proper gig you're buying tickets for. And whats even worse is when you go along and the band in question play (other peoples records) for approximately one hour and then bugger off and leave whatever bedroom DJ was on beforehand to play shit with his mates. Oh and there's silly kids all over the place. The worst kind of silly kid too.

Incidentally Bangers is now the new word for pills just so you know. This makes it all the more confusing when it's Halloween time and a little cream cracker asks you for them. I was kind of hoping she did mean the firework kind. I would have bought some to fuck at the stage too.
