When the word / acronym D.J. comes up – what normally springs to your mind ???
A self important motor mouth , who loves the sound of his own voice – maybe ,or what about - arrogant, big headed and never plays your requests .
I dislike stereotypes as you probably all know , so my own D.J. style is a little different and surprisingly - encourages requests , and people to bring their own
C.D’s along , but I must admit - that’s more to expand my own knowledge , more than anything else :).
This of course has its downsidel , as I get asked for all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff :) , thus - very , very occasionally I have to unfortunately - draw the line
Take last Friday – some of the kids turned up with a C.D. entitled Boards of Canada , and just the title, immediately piqued my interest , as its not really a normal title- is
it :)
It turns out The Boards’ are not Canadian or even made of wood :) , but instead a Scottish duo who named themselves , quiet imaginatively , after –
The National film Board of Canada , which I assume is a Government - film making organisation .
Anyway enough background - the music is electronic / ambient stuff , much liked by my Japanese friend Atsu , and not really suitable for a rock disco - I’m sure you will all agree , but as it was early in the evening - I put a track called Dayvan Cowboy – on , and it was excellent , especially as I found out later , the video on youtube was a guy skydiving from the upper atmosphere , and this fitted the music perfectly.

I’m glad my own D.J. policy works , as it truly opens me up to music I wouldn’t have normally had any association with , and of course it’s a two way system, and that means I can subject the world to my own musical tastes ……….
