Utter boredom???

Are you insane????

It's obvious how much of a clue you really have now...

Those sets from 2000 to 2004 were some of the most amazing ones to ever be heard...

Those nights were legendary....

And I challenge anyone who was actually around at that time to contest that fact...

And believe me, I have no reason to kiss Mark's ass....

Fuckin digi-twat...

I'm tired of moronic comments following the general format of "Oh you losers will only go out to see international superstars and that's why we can't get a proper scene going, those guys are all a bunch of overpaid showboaters and our locals are way way better!" In fact, I've been tired of those dumbass comments for years. Yeah, our locals are "world class", sure, they're just not well-connected enough or aren't really into the whole touring thing, yeah, that's it. Oh, except deadmau5 who actually is getting international bookings, and the same people who big up our locals can't get on the hate boat fast enough. It's honestly so utterly transparent. Look, if he'd just responded with "I've been to a bunch of 8-10 hour Mark Oliver open-close sets" I wouldn't have said a damn thing. I don't think I would have even thought about saying anything. I only responded to the smarmy "OMG you guyz must be kidding MO does Marathon sets EVERY WEEK LOLZ what do these dudes get paid for anyway!?!?!??!!!one" BS. You post a lot of asinine douchebaggery here too but I don't target you personally over it and claim to speak for the rest of the forum. If you have a problem with what I said, feel free to debate it, but if you have a problem with me, fucking get over it buddy, and don't think that posting a "get out" animated GIF that's already been posted 45,137 times on this forum is going to earn you any points. Graham/Jon, sorry for the off-topic rant, but there was no way I was going to let that one slip by.

Ppl don't harp on deadmouse because of his success...

Ppl harp on him cause he's an egotistical, self inflated jerk...of a success...

I think Mike Myers is a douchebag too...

But I still like his movies though...'cept for the guru one...it was crap...


And you're fuckin right I'm an elitist....

Because I'm part of something that was great....

Can you say the same????




And my apologies also for the hijack...

Do you end every single sentence with an ellipsis? I'm sorry to nitpick here, but I swear that's got to be one of the most irritating habits I've ever seen.

Look, I'm not going to argue about the quality of Mark Oliver's sets. I was around in '03-'04, not '00, maybe it was different then. Either way, I just think you're full of shit for your blas� "I'm not impressed by these headliners" line.

Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from Greek ἔλλειψις 'omission') in printing and writing refers to a mark or series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word or a phrase from the original text. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate a pause in speech, an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence (aposiopesis).




And does it make you feel good to know what an ellipsis is????????

Don't you know how pretentious you sound most of the time????



Really, I'm not impressed...

Um, no? I kind of assumed it was common knowledge. What the hell did you want me to call it? Christ, who cares, just stop using so many of them.

You can go ahead and keep calling me clueless if you want. I can find just as many people who will say that Y2K onward was all downhill and that the best partying years were from 1996-1999. I choose to believe that the "special" factor is nothing more than novelty (and in some cases drugs, leading to strong emotions), which means I am responsible for my own enjoyment. Living in the past seems like a pretty fucking hopeless endeavour to me.

well, since this thread has clearly gone off track, i just read this and thought of the comments re: mark oliver being told to bring it down a notch (as he should, if he's opening!!!):

http://www.clustaboard.com/DannyH/p...opic.php?t=4557

I would totally agree with this if the opening d.j is playing for an hr or 2 prior to the main act. but if the opener's slot is slated for 4 to 5 hrs, then what? bore the shit out of the crowd till the headliner gets there?

Agreed: diginut's tone is constantly confrontational
Agreed: opener should actually OPEN and not play a headliner set at 10pm
Agreed: Vdub's posts can be just as douchebaggey, with the constant hard techno this, bla bla
Agreed: locals regularly play marathon sets that are probably quite good
Agreed: there is something special about being treated to an out of town DJ who has a busy tour schedule who stops and plays twice as long as normal and pulls out tracks not yet released or not heard in years.

Man, I am such an agreeable person.

And to think I even held back earlier with one of your posts...

I guess I have seen Danny Taneglia, Ferry Corsten, Deep Dish, and Danny Howells play marathon sets. All were actually really good, and had their moments.

I've seen a lot more 4,5 hour sets, and I must admit that most DJ's just do not know how to build for that long. It seems like they start building, get all excited start dropping bombs in the middle of the set, then have to fill it out to get to the end. I would much rather see a DJ play a 2-3 hour of pure quality.

It seems I have got too used to the multiple DJ's in a night formula, to really listen to one DJ for such a long time.

Of course Howells is the exception to everything I have said, and I would gladly pay to see him play more open-close sets.

If you honestly think that VDub's post in question was elitist in any way at all, then perhaps you need a bit of a reality check. The only bit that anybody in their right mind may misconstrue as being "elitist" is the very first line of the post. Even then, you took it upon yourself to refer to him as a "queerboat" and a "ballwasher," neither of which were really called for.

Solution: Shut the fuck up.

I don't think anyone but you gives two iotas of a shit if Toronto locals are "well connected enough," or go on tours enough to warrant them being referred to as high class international talent by those in other countries. They give everybody here the best damn shows they possibly can (most of the time), and often go way above and beyond what is expected of them. Thus, most of us really enjoy seeing them, as is evident by the turnouts to events that are manned only by local talent.

Originally posted by DigiNut Look, if he'd just responded with "I've been to a bunch of 8-10 hour Mark Oliver open-close sets" I wouldn't have said a damn thing.

Sure, the tone of the line you speak of is certainly a bit smarmy, but again: Why must you constantly shit up everything that everybody says? The ridiculous volume of smug that you emit is enough to get the state of California require that if you visit, you must wear a label that states that you are known to the state as a cancer causing substance.

The reason that I'm singling you out here is not because of this single post, really, it's because you do this every fucking time in so many different threads. As mentioned, every post you have is pretty clearly intended to be confrontational, and I'd love to see the forum stats on the number of users that have you on their ignore list. Not that you care, I imagine (insert picture of DigiNut with his chin at a 45� angle). The animated .gif images I'm going to continue to post just to upset you, as the Kool-Aid points I'm earning are helping me get that sweet fucking clock radio/CD player from that catalogue they have. You know the one I'm talking about.

Basically, quit being a prick to so many people on the forums. You'll probably live longer for it.

Although I just came into the scene when Industry closed, I was lucky to party at both Boa Redux and Sonic. When those shut down, it was off to Stereo in Montreal to see my favorites (Chus and Ceballos, Calderone, Vibe, etc) at the club that set the tone for afterhours marathon sets.

I love marathon sets because that's when a DJ can really do his thing and tell his story. Seeing guys like Calderone or Vibe in Toronto playing these 3 to 4 hour sets, you can't get the proper feel for them because they tell long stories.

Any idiot DJ can play for 3-5 hours and bang out all the hits, but that's so boring and uninspired. I like to go on a journey, with different genres and different peaks in valleys in a set.

I love/miss the feeling of walking out of Stereo, Boa, Sonic, Pacha NYC or any WMC party at Space, etc with the sunshine in the afternoon. Remember the feeling walking out of Sonic in the middle of the madness in Chinatown? Or walking out on to Sainte Catherine after a Stereo beatdown and seeing all the people going about their day in the village? You don't really get that anymore.

I'll get back to this thread later, but I just returned from Montreal and I'm beat!

If I recall correctly, that was always my least favorite part of the night.

I remember on Canada Day of 2004 when Tenaglia finished, walking out at like 1pm-ish and the street was PACKED with people.

lol

I don't think I could ever last that long, or that late. How do you guys not get hungry?
