INSULTS AND EVIL DJ
Nobody talks to The Old Soundman like this! Nobody! I am going to get his IP number from our webmaster, and then his name and address from his ISP. I won't personally beat him until he is a bleeding, weeping, mess in the corner, because then I would go to jail. I am going to fly to New Orleans and hire a voodoo priestess.
She will cast a spell on him that will teach him a lesson!
hey, old (fat) soundman,
I'M SURE THAT YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE GEORGE CLOONEY OR TOM CRUISE, PAL!
if you dont get off your fat ass and move around a little bit youre going to be the old dead soundman. dig?
ONCE THIS PRIESTESS GETS DONE WITH YOU, YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE DEAD!
okay, heres my question.
DO YOU MEAN THE INSULTS HAVE COME TO AN END?
SOMEHOW I DON'T THINK I AM GOING TO BE THAT LUCKY.
if you are mixing a show such as janet j or brittany s. (show with mucho dancing/running,etc) how do you keep all their huffing and puffing out of the mix. i know that when i dance and run around a lot, its hard for me sing properly.
YOU MUST BE THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE LIP-SYNCING TO A TRACK.
actually its hard for me to keep from passing out.
I TAKE IT YOU ARE POSSIBLY OVERWEIGHT AND OUT OF SHAPE. YOU HAVE A LOT OF NERVE LECTURING ME, IN THAT CASE.
I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I AM A VIGOROUS AND HEALTHY OLD MAN.
JUST ASK THE OLD SOUNDWOMAN!
thanks for all your worldly views, oh great girthington one.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU ARE ONE OF THE YOUNGER GENERATION THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE IN CAPITALIZATION OR PUNCTUATION. BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY OF THAT STUFF ONCE THE PRIESTESS DOES HER THING ON YOU.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE WORRYING ABOUT WHERE TO FIND THE NEXT DUMPSTER TO STAY OUT OF THE RAIN! YOUR WORK, YOUR FAMILY, THE FUN YOU USED TO HAVE, THOSE ARE ALL GOING TO BE A DIM, FAR-OFF, DISTANT MEMORY.
THE ONLY THING YOU ARE GOING TO BE DOING "ALLDAY" IS CRYING!
I NEED TO CALM DOWN BEFORE I START ANSWERING THE QUESTION POSED BY OUR GOOD FRIEND GREG, WHO HAS WRITTEN IN BEFORE.
A LITTLE DEEP BREATHING OUGHT TO DO THE TRICK.
IN THROUGH THE NOSE, OUT THROUGH THE MOUTH, IN THROUGH THE NOSE, OUT THROUGH THE MOUTH …
THAT'S BETTER!
Hello again Mr. Oldman,
HELLO AGAIN, GREG!
Greetings again from the shore. The fish dinners and clams and oysters are fresh but the local celebrity DJ's gear is not.
THEN THROW IT OUT LIKE YOU WOULD DO WITH ROTTEN SEAFOOD!
I GUESS THAT WOULD GET YOU IN TROUBLE.
YOU PROBABLY WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB.
IT SOUNDS PRETTY SWINGING, BY THE OCEAN.
I normally never have a problem with DJ's when I put them on stage to spin tunes. I set my channel EQ flat, give them enough juice to power their mixer and sit back and be thankful I have an easy night ahead of me. That was the norm for me for quite awhile--until recently.
WHAT HAPPENED RECENTLY?
I SENSE THAT IT WASN'T NOTHIN' NICE.
AS THEY SAY IN THE PEN.
The club I work at has booked the local DJ to bring in some paying customers to help pay the bills on the slower nights.
DID THEY EVER CONSIDER HALF-NEKKID YOUNG LADIES PRANCING AROUND A POLE, AND GIVING LAP DANCES? THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE QUITE PROFITABLE IN SOME ESTABLISHMENTS IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS.
This DJ is famous for drinking, blowing out speakers, drinking, insane fader and gain maneuvers, drinking, and last but not least, his mixer was state of the art 15 years ago.
THEN PUT HIM IN THE WAYBACK MACHINE!
HE NEEDS TO DO HIS DRINKING SOMEWHERE IN THE PAST, AND NOT BOTHER YOU ANY MORE!
I put this guy on a limiter, he freaks, I play the house EQ game, he freaks, I refuse to turn up my mains, he freaks, I stand there and shake my head no, he freaks.
YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT TORTURER! l
I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU!
I actually get enjoyment out of doing all that but I have been told to help him out because, once again, he is the guy that people come to see. This guy also has a sidekick who helps him DJ (set up his gear, booze, lights).
THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
YOU NEED TO ELIMINATE THAT GUY.
AND THEN THE DJ WILL BE HELPLESS.
LIKE THE LONE RANGER WITHOUT TONTO.
LIKE CONAN WITHOUT MAX WEINBERG.
I know you have dealt with this in the past and would appreciate any advice you have on this. I have tried every trick I know to appease this guy and he does not realize that job security is a two way street when it comes to performer (sorry, DJ) and House Sound Tech. Thanks for your input sir and thanks for letting me vent.
I FIND THAT A COMPRESSOR WITH A BRICK WALL LIMITER ALLOWS YOU TO RESUME YOUR RELAXATION.
ALSO IF YOU HAVE AN EX-CON FRIEND WHO IS ABOUT AS BIG AS A HOUSE AND HAS TATTOOS ON HIS NECK, THAT CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL IN DEALING WITH THE DJ AND HIS BUDDY.
MUCH LUV -
- THE OLD SOUNDMAN
