not particularly today, more like indefinitely
and not really actually pissed, more like a mixture of slight amusement and contempt
but people who wear really nice / cool clothes and then turn out to listen to stupid music. i dunno but in my mind there's a connection between gear and musik
but what really pisses me off is viral images who are actually shopped or just about something entirely else than what the caption says. and they just go viral even by supposedly "respective" sources. such complete lack of un-questioning(?) media criticism and dumbness is annoying

It was really hard and shiny as well man, hadn't been used in a while so the guy had given it a good clean before thrusting it into me at high speed.

it annoys me beyond belief when DJs get really intense and do silly unneccesary things when DJing such as pulling their arm up really fast as if they are throwing something over their shoulder after twisting a knob.
basically, this picture:

I'm with you on that one. There is a certain performer who uses a monome and constantly does this. Really annoying. Or how about everyone facing the dj in the first place? So silly.

You've been torquing your knobs then?
Should get a really big mixer then, really big like hand sized knobs so you can really give em a twist. Put your back in it.

not saying there's anything wrong with getting into it and feeling the music, but the 'throwing something over your shoulder' motion is just so cliche and unnecessary in my opinion that it just annoys me.
and it's especially annoying if you're just pretending to twist knobs like mic levels or whatever. pretending to twist knobs so that it looks like ur doing something is fine imo (it's more of a reflection of the crowds than anything), but at least don't act like you just pulled off a 'sick dj move' by pretending to throw something over your shoulder.
Brutal. Watched the whole thing. It just gets worse.

I got drunk once at an event in the US and thought it was a good idea to use the crossfader with my nose. Got carried away, brought my head down too quickly on the mixer and ended up giving myself a nosebleed.
