two years back, when playing ('little' louie vega feat. arnold jarvis - life
goes on) in dynamo, turku, finland:
"can you stop playing that techno bullshit and put somethin i can dance to
instead, like the doors?"

this happened saturady 10th august, at blanko, turku, finland:
me and my partner in crime dj kongo were spinning, i.e. i was smoking a
cigar in the dj booth and having a pause while mr. kongo was cueing in a
record. suddenly this bloke comes up and puts a megadeth cd in my hand,
saying: ' my mate's having a stag night and we just need to hear track
number three! does it interfere with your artistic vision?' by the time we
were spinning deep funk.

too damn true. some three years back when i was spinning quite a many
saturday nights at dynamo, turku (again! ok, i don't have a life do i?)
there was this nice regular customer (a girl) who was constantly requesting
britpop, oasis, blur, suede and the like. (nothing against britpop, except
oasis - the most boring live band in the world IMO) ok, the babe had every
night the same pattern: the first request was at punctually 15 past eleven,
about five minutes since i started, a very polite one. but if you didn't
play the music she demanded, no doubt she would come back again within half
an hour, a bit drunk. and the pattern went on. at normal nights she demanded
- the demands were one by one more rude and drunk - at least five times. and
if you had not answered to her calls to play ever-lovely liam g. imitating a
sheep-herd she sent her boyfriend (quite a big bloke indeed) with the
following demand: 'if you bloody wanker don't play either blur, suede or
asis, i'll beat the shit out of you!' nice lad culture. life can be tough,
indeed.
keep on truckin,
