shit

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

thanks ilx i'll play chill

Play to the crowd.

i would have, but unfortunately the venue also booked this ska band, whose sublime and 311 covers drew in an appreciative crowd. i wasn't ready for that.

one time a friend and i were djing at this bar and as we were setting up i realized that someone had voluntarily put pretty much the entire avenged sevenfold discography on the jukebox

Playing to the crowd doesn't necessarily mean giving them what they know they want to hear. A good dj can give the crowd what they didn't know they wanted to hear. I'm sure people at the last party I played didn't walk in expecting to hear gogo and 80s electro, but the dance floor was packed and they had a good time.

What I really meant tho was reading the energy of the crowd as much as their tastes. If the crowd is ready to party, play to that. If the crowd is trying to kick back at the bar, keep the energy lower.

also when cooking, don't burn things or undercook them

Let the patrons in on the bonhomie, sun dappled geniality flowing from each record in bucolic waves

Gonna be doing a little DJ set livestream tonight at 9.30 at twitch.tv/CFrameDJ
