I think people like this should just plug in their ipod and go outside and smoke a cigarette.



sounds like you go to the wrong shows...

Okay, you might think I am nuts but when I saw Paul van Dyk at Giant a few weeks back, he was pretending to play air guitar during his set.

My cousin in San Francisco saw him at 1015 and he did the same thing the next night.

Has anyone else noticed him doing this at recent shows??

And if he is doing it, any ideas why?

WHY DO YOU CARE?!

edit:

cynical note

pvd seems more akin to this as an act than a dj

Threads like this make me wonder sometimes about the guy or girl who might be standing next to me in a club. Is that person there for the music or are they there to see what the dj will do next so they can run back to a message board and talk about it?
