I really hate and always have hated playing stupid songs in the middle of a set. I guess that makes me uptight lol. I hate the whole mash up and bootleg remix type thing to as far as that goes. Hey it is disco duck but it's DUBSTEP! yay.

Dammit abZ - I had a creepy picture of a doll wearing a terrycloth duck suit but can't find it now.

Yeah, it's one thing to just throw random/irrelevant shit in there just to get a rise outta people... but sometimes random relevant shit can work. Way back I remember when DJ's would be doing a techno set and fade out suddenly, then come back with Sergio Mendes' "Carnival Batucada" - when those big drums hit we always lost our fuckin' minds.

I remember like all of '08 the cool thing was to drop 'It Smells Like Teen Spirit', and it was awesome...at first. At the same festival I would hear that shit at least 3-4 times, and I'm like come on....

so if you're gonna drop something out of place, make it orginal and drop it at the right time

at first everyone stopped dancing and looked confused, then they started dancing again after they realized what happened
