The rapture came and went with a vengeance. All the good people didn't go to heaven, but they certainly didn't go to San Diego's Jazz Festival either. Saturday night I opened up at Jimmy Love's top 40s/house room as the Jazz festival was ending. Here are some of my favorite quotes of the night:
"Are you going to like, play some variety?" [2 songs into my set]
"Can you play it hard? You know? Like hit it hard? Play it hard."
"It goes like: sticks and stones may break my bones..."
"Ohhhh, OHH, ohhhh! S & M! Best choice ever, now you're going HARD!!!"
"Can you play something that's not techno?" [during Usher's Beautiful People, an R&B song]
"Can you play 'How Many Licks' for that guy? Hes hot..." [Pointing to the "play hard" douche]
"Can you play some old school 70s funk for us old folks?" [Thats what the band was playing upstairs]
The proper way to request a song is to simply request a song. Knowing the title of the song or the name of the artist is always a plus! Common courtesy is always appreciated, especially when telling someone how to do one's job. Word has it that the rapture has been postponed until October 21st, lets hope that it doesn't fall on a Saturday again~
