as the title suggest I am currently sipping on the delactable "Big Daddy Indian Pale Ale" all the way from sanfransisco! and I am happy to report it is a lovely brew, I must say I am a fan of the IPAs any way but this is extra special as it is called "Big Daddy" and it came from the beer hamper...
ok so we have just ticked into the last day of the noughties, I very much feel like an old man, have some Howlin' Mad Wolf playin on the itunes, coold brew in my hand and I have the fire burning and the storage heater on... oh ya I'm wrapped in my slanket! the cold hasn't got me yet...
I started work on an article today about the Cork music scene from 2009, most of what I have written so far has been pretty attrocious but its not due until monday so I'll prob start from scratch again on friday, tomorow being the last day of the year, I will probably spend most of the day in bed but I have a gig tomorow night so I gotta sort some stuff out... I have been thinking more and more about music that i have discoved this year, but were not produced this year if you get me? in my itunes I have a playlist folder full of playlists of music added every month since august of 2008 (kind of helps me map my musical progression! not a bad idea if I don't say so myself) but I have just flicked on the January playlist and it seems full to the gills with aphex twin, no if you haven't heard of aphex twin before check him out on youtube but I will warn you, this dude is FUCKED UP! now I have most of his work and I must admit I only really enjoy about 15% of it.... so shoot me... moving along to the february playlist I am greeted by something that was actually released in 2009 and in my opinion is one of the best releases of the year, the "Toolroom Knights" mix courtesy of Italian producer/DJ Benny Benassi - very good check it out!
OK so bit of a topic
well I was on one of the forums today that I frequent and there was a thread about worst parts of 2009 and while I was reading it I started to realise what a huge bunch of whingers the Irish really are, now I am by no means saying that I whinge my ass off most of the time and have my moments of pesimism but for the most part I am an optimist, in 2009 for example, when I realised I had failed at college and was going to have to repeat I saw it as an oppertunity, got involved in things like radio, DJ Society (more so than any thing else) and I have really learnt so much in that field and I have started to teach back! but ya my tip for 2010 - cheer the fuck up people!!!
now I have a topic that does spring to mind and this will explain the picture above
Female DJs - I was thinking about this recently, there are realistically so little female DJs in the world of professional DJs! some notable ones would be lisa lashes, annie mac, Dj miss behavin, Dj Diva (she spins topless!!!!!) so ya I wonder is this a predomanatly male activity? well it shouldn't be should it? so my advice is ladys, get on those decks! the truth of the matter is good female DJs will find it easier to find work in clubs and that compared to good male Djs... but I wont name any clubs in particular......
so ya there is a bit of big daddy advice, keep the chin up and the hands on the decks!
this MAY be my last post of 2009 but ya never know if im bored tomorow I'll hop on and say hello!
Happy new year folks!
