40 Things DJ's Hate To Hear
I Found this on This page. Very funny and REAL!!!!! LOL I Put a ' ' face on phrases that more than one time (or a combination of them) i've heard from people. It's really frustrating to hear this stuff, but in some cases it can tell you when you're doing something wrong 
1. Play some real music.
2. Play something that somebody actually wants to hear.
3. Play something faster,more upbeat.
4. Play something we can dance to.
5. Play something that has a beat.
6. Don't play any crap.
7. Shut this off! (so what if the dance floor is full!)
8. Nobody likes this; it sucks ,you suck.
9. I need a song,but I don't know what it is.
10. Throw on some Zeppelin, it'll get them rockin!

19. Don't play it next, wait 'till I come back.
20. You didn't just play it! I've been here all night and I haven't heard it.
21. Play it again, no one will notice.

30. We can't hear it in the back. Turn it up!
31. It's too loud up front, turn it down.
32. What songs you got? Let me look through your stuff. Don't worry I know what I'm doing,I have CD's at home.
33. I think it's the third or forth song....just play the whole CD.
34. You know the song....it goes like this "Da Dun Da Da De Da...."
35. There's some guy singing and maybe a guitar....oh... and drums.
36. Your're the DJ , you should know it.
37. What do you mean you don't have it, sure you have it.

On the whole though I actually like being able to talk to people as I think it helps if you are nice to them even if you don't always play what they want. Must admit though that I don't often speak to people whilst DJing, usually one of the warm ups guys will do that (Not through choice, just seems to happen that way). It's always nice to speak to people after though.
