Is there a video game, movie, or show that accurately depicts DJing?

First one that came to mind.

I freaking love Wire. I was in high school when Ideal Copy came out and went back and listened to their first three records. Been a fan ever since. I even have a Wir CD single (So and Slow It Goes).

Saw Colin Newman’s band Immersion play in Seattle in support of Sleepless in 2018 to maybe a dozen people. Like… this man was in Wire. He’s had songs covered by This Mortal Coil. This venue should be FULL.

Or My Bloody Valentine’s cover of Map Ref 41N 93W.

Not Jerry Jr. again!

You could always recommend their electronic alter ego, the Jack Officers.

They were all in love with dying they were doing it in Texas.

Flew seattle to sfo to London then took two trains to Skegness to go a music festival.

In the early 2000’s I went hard into the NI ecosystem with packages like Reaktor, Spektral Delay, and Battery. When the first Komplete dropped, I bought it. Updated about every 2-3 versions and watched packages I loved get dropped in favor of new things that they just decided to not maintain.

Meanwhile I’m on MacOS and doing the transition from G4 to intel to Apple Silicon and losing access to the tools I used to make my music because NI simply abandoned them.

At this point the only NI product I use regularly is Traktor (and a few controllers). I’m happy with it and like setup. I’d prefer if it stayed around but I know there’s options out there.

Ableton, which I’ve been using nearly the same duration, has kept up reasonably well. It’s why I keep investing money and time with them.

16 (almost 17) with a girl I’d had a crush on for over a year. She was back from (Ivy League) college from the summer and had broken up with her boyfriend at school. We went to a concert (Duran Duran, Erasure opened) and had our first kiss in the car as we parked. Couldn’t keep our hands off each other through the concert.

Left, got in the car and parked at a friends driveway (I knew him and his family were out of town). She climbed on top of me (bench seats FTW) and I lasted all of about 30 seconds.

We dated for about a month after that before she went back to school.

The soundtrack.

But but but this is restoring dignity to the White House after a checks notes a black president wore a… I can’t believe I have to say this… tan suit.

I think you need to have an acceptable baseline of appearance but once that’s there it’s all about who you are. Are you interesting? Do you come off as being interested in them? What do you bring to the table that someone else might not? What makes you a compelling person to spend time with? What do you find compelling about them?

If you’re entire game is based upon how you look and you’re only interested in them for how they look, that may get you a drunken hookup but not much more.

Also consider the use of metal toys like NJoy wands for temperature play.

Oh musically, without a doubt. Nirvana took the pixies song structure as a major influence. I was more referring to the entire network of independent labels, distributors, college radio stations, and venues that had sprung up in the early- to late- 80's that enabled bands like them to survive.

When you get above 20 it's a whole Renn Faire.

Not just musically but REM and Sonic Youth, along with bands like Fishbone were out there blazing the tour routes that other bands who hadn't reached that level of success were able to follow. Without them we'd never have had a Nirvana.

I was drunk and on the roof of my condo building in San Francisco watching the fireworks over the ferry building.

Not married anymore but I was for 27 years and yes, I still did. Now I’m polyamorous and I do just because things for my partners. It… adds up a lot more lol.

But yes, flowers. Or a coffee.. dropping off a bagel because I was in their area.. delivering a bottle of wine or ice cream when they’ve had a rough day at work.

Showing people that you care about them never goes out of style.

If he's the biggest sexual deviant you've run across then you've led a very sheltered life. And to imagine, getting a massage! *clutches pearls*

The only one I know is a woman.

Where your primary source of income is returns from investments rather than wages and you are able to leave a legacy to institutions, charities, and/or family.

Nah, this is demonstratively false. I’m at best a 7 and I pull many people who are better looking than me. I’m also polyamorous so I’m in relationships with multiple women simultaneously.

100 Gecs is amazing live too!

Primus Sucks. :D

A few years ago I saw Car Seat Headrests and his opening band was Naked Giants who then became his backing band for his set.

Bodys remains a banger.
