If you don't feel like clicking over, here's a quote I love:
"Ok, so remember Jared Leto from that show back in the day on MTV, “My So-Called Life”? Well he has a band, they’re called 30 Seconds to Mars… and they’re really good."
All the posts so far basically exude love and adoration for bands, which is fine, but coming from a radio station, there's insincerity to it, too.
I'm also really enjoying the whole debate happening in the comments section over at CatDirt's site. I'd love to create a debate like that over here but since I don't allow anonymous commenting, it might not be quite as effective. Here's his original post with the comments. I figured DJs were competitive, but I had no idea how they hate each other. I just think it's funny as someone who doesn't really care about who is DJing so long as I can hear myself think, how much they think people care. Is it just me? Do people actually care other than the DJs themselves? Just wondering.

Sophie is dumb. Very dumb.
Notice how none of the Skull Kontrol guys chimed in over there (other than Mario's "here we go.") I think most of the "hate" comes from a select few people with very oversized egos and a sense of propriety in the "scene." Pretty lame, it's true, but that's what the internet is for, right? Lobbing anonymous insults and getting generally butthurt? In the end, people are going to think what they will, but someone made a very good point over there: if you're tired of the music someone is playing--don't support their club night. It's that easy.
I love the posts--its finally a time where people are saying that they are sick of the lack of diversity in this city. There are 2.8 million people here and about 9 DJs mentioned on "the scene". Thats ridiculous. And if you've ever heard Mix Master Mike or DJ AM mix, you KNOW there is talent to DJing. WORD. (and yes, I like bands more, but I like DJs too)
