DJs at the Grammys? Skrillex made it a break through year

Posted by: admin on 02/13/2012

Some question even whether a DJ should be included in the Grammy awards yet Skrillex was nominated for 5 awards this year.  It’s huge.

Last night was a break through for DJs as 24 year old Skrillex, walked away with three Grammys, including Best Electronic/Dance Album.

He is an amazing, talented, passionate, hard working kid.

Let this video introduce you to the DJ that is giving the DJ art legitimacy and elevating the roll of DJ.

It may be a new era for the DJ.  With David Guetta and DJ Deadmau5 the other DJ superstars the entertainment world is finally paying attention.

Heck even Simon Cowell says DJs are rock stars and is planning a reality competition show for DJ performers set launch next fall.

DJ- tired of taking requests- shoots annoying patron

Posted by: admin on 02/13/2012

 

I wish this were a joke.  But no.

I know some obnoxious requesters can be annoying, but “DJ Outlaw” in Atlanta lived up to his name.  He got tired of the guy bugging him and put an end to it.  Killed the guy in the parking lot.

As reported by  The Atlanta Journal Constitution , Johnny Jackson III, or “DJ Outlaw”, has been charged with murder after shooting a nightclub customer dead last month. The victim, Mark Williams, allegedly attacked Jackson in the club for refusing to play his CD. Later, Jackson shot Williams in the parking lot of the nightclub five times.

Jackson argues that he was walking to his car when he saw Williams approaching with a gun in his hand and acted in self-defence. The prosecutors, however, argued that Williams wasn’t carrying a gun, and one witness stated that she saw DJ Outlaw “fire a couple of times and then stand over the victim and fire more.”

However it went down, this is a pretty sad and crazy story.

Aren’t you glad you’re not a radio DJ?

Posted by: admin on 02/13/2012

It won’t come as a shock to the thousands that have felt the sting of radio’s downsizing — but it still hurts to see it in print.  CBS Money Watch  asks, “Will these 10 jobs disappear in 2012?” — and Broadcast Announcer is #6 on the list.

Reports CBS, “Using statistics from THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS’ Occupational Outlook Handbook 2010-2011, we identified 10 job categories whose numbers are projected to shrink in the coming years.

1. Judge
2. Fashion designer
3. Insurance underwriter
4. Travel agent
5. Newspaper reporter
6. Broadcast announcer 
7. Plant manager
8. Chemist
9. Economist
10. CEO

Regarding the loss of broadcast jobs, CBS writes “The play-by-play for this occupation isn’t pretty. Consolidation has eliminated many jobs already, and technology is hijacking off-air tasks, such as editing, once performed by announcers (and future announcers paying their dues). Add the increased use of syndication and the growth of satellite radio and the picture is even bleaker. By 2018, broadcasting is expected to lose 2,400 radio and TV announcer jobs.”
