Mostly because internet apologies like this are known to be an urban legend of sorts. |
hey now, watch how you throw my name around, there is only one urban legend and one story. everything outside is just a anecdote. |

dont apologize for your opinions, only if they get personal. If your opinions are general and people take offence, too bad. But if you start directing them at someone personally, then that to me is when it crosses the line.
Either way, if this is how you feel it took a lot of courage to post it. :eyespop: |
+1 to everything ^^^ he just said. |

| I just thought that the most interesting thing that he criticized is that the DJs at the beatport tent let their friends & fellow DJs hang out with them up on stage. This happens at all of the M_nus parties, so to see Richie or Cassy with a load of people behind him playing on Sunday was hardly a shock. I don't really see what the big deal of playing a set while your friends are there to hang out is, unless it's so distracting that you're playing like , which I didn't think was the case. |

funny how this was the one time i actually agreed with him LOL
booth whore parties are ridiculous. I remember when richie was actually against anyone coming near the booth. He was so concentrated on his craft he rarely even had a chance to look up. And to be honest it made the whole plastikman image even more mysterious and cool.
Richie parties used to be all about the strobe light in the corner, the garbage bags on the walls, the parachute cieling and MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC |

And if you noticed, that was what his Plastikman set was like.
Sorry you have an issue with him hanging out with his friends behind stage. Maybe he should be in a straightjacket where only hands work. |

You're basically saying the same thing I did, sans the admittance that it might just be a generational thing that you won't "get" unless you're in your 20s, the age group which constitutes the majority of Hawtpants' current fanbase.
Personally, I generally still favour dark rooms with a shadow behind the decks and the focus squarely on the dancefloor, so we're not exactly in disagreement here. |

its unprofessional to have your friends hanging out on stage with you but it seems to be what all the cool kids are doing this day and age.
I agree with PivotTechno on this one....it is a generation thing. Like him, I still prefer the dark room party with the mysterious shadow person behind the decks. |

Personally, I prefer to pay more attention to the music, not what the DJ is wearing or the setting that he or she is in. Call me crazy. |
