that's not true! cuz on the other hand a lot of people there @ system (holden fans/non fans) thought his set was very good and were dancing to it to prove you wrong! it's a matter of personal taste, Graham, while you might find a set boring , others might not, so there's no general rule to it, even more don't you agree that a DJ might be spectacular in one night and mediocre/boring/shitty in another night? i don't think generalization works here.

Just because he's accomplished more than I have means I can't complain about his shitty performance? It also means that I can't express discontent with the fact that a DJ who has proven to me that he can bore me to tears is taking time away from another DJ who I'm sure will rock it?[/color] |
Graham, i never said you can's expresss your disappointment/discontent with a DJ that you don't like/enjoy whatever, you're entitled to your opinion about everyone and everything, it's quite obvious though that disrespecting a DJ is different than expressing discontent (unless you think that in every circumstance that we disagree we should go around and give them a "fuck"?), it's how you say it, not what you say, also as i already mentioned, no one forces you to sit and watch Holden or any other "boring" DJ that you don't like, it's pretty simple you don't like him/her you don't attend. there's no guarantee that a DJ will defintely rock, that's how you expect it to be, based on your assumptions/personal taste, to give you an example, one of your favorite house DJs "Steve Lawler" , last time when he was at System, many people here expressed their discontent with his set in the review thread, they were expecting more and he didn't live up to their expectations, but does that entitle them to say "fuck lawler"? i don't think so, DJs have good and bad nights.
also so you're saying since you don't like Holden, he shouldn't be spinning, just so Desyn can spin more? that's pure selfishness there, so people who actually want come to hear James should not see him (and FYI there's a lot of them), cuz you don't want him to spin? very sad to hear that!

Someone's a bit defensive of Holden. I express my dislike of Holden, and you jump all over me and attack me? Fuck you too then! What have I ever done to you to warrant this kind of attack?[/color] |
this is not personal, and i'm not defensive of Holden, i like his work, so do i like Desyn, but my point is in general, this is not the first time i see this from you, and it won't be the last time, but my point is, people who are professionals, never make such comments on this site (good example :Gamma, aaron mossey, John Tang,Denis Hahn, Brad Copland etc), cuz they are professionals and know that personal taste aside, peers in the industry are worth the minimum respect at least, cuz it takes a lot of guts and hard work to acomplish even the least that someone like Holden or any other DJ has accomplished. party goers like you , are just consumers and see it from that POV.
btw, i made that comment about you cuz i have respect for you and always thought you're more intelligent to make such "ways of expresions"! if i thought you're an idiot, i'd have just ignored your comment, so it's not an attack, it was just a hint so maybe you realize it's not really descent.
the rest is up to you
