Good riddance!!! I CAN'T STAND that. Same with the air horn at Guv, it drives me NUTS.
Any of you remember that guy who used to go ape with his whistle at Guv on the podium? Used to have a huge red wig, looked like a freaking troll doll? He wore a backpack as well...
I remember so many TAs including me trying to talk sense into the guy to stop but he was so high as a kite nobody could reach him.
Apparently someone off here in a review thread mentioned how he walked into the club w those 'dr ho' pads on his body. WTF. |
Holy totally forgot about that guy!!! WTF we had a name for him... |

I love that horn! |
So do I! When you hear that horn for the first time during a given night, it's almost like a cue to take it up a notch.

He was on the inside sleeve of the Deep Dish's Global Underground 25 lol. |

| Whistles need to die. Also, anyone who claps louder than the combination of two vaginas needs to get punched. |

As soon as I read the word "whistle", I immediately thought of this guy. Wonder when he overdosed... |

Can we please also stop wearing those cheap plastic Kanye glasses. The ones that look like venetian blinds that come in multiple colors.
It's so tacky and everyone knows you're either new to the scene or have no fashion taste at all. |
These I hate...
Whistles were great back in the day but only when used properly and at the appropriate times...
Agreed that most "whistle blowers" unfortunately did not posses these abilities...
However, if you think they are retired, you're probably wrong because the TUNE! posse will be in full effect for The Gift... |

First time I heard it I almost myself. I was directly under it on the old stage in the corner. Couldn't believe how f'n loud it was |

The Whistle.
I was thinking about this today. As much as I used to LOVE hearing whistles blowing when listening to livesets from back in the day such as during Oakie's Essential mix tour, it got super ing annoying super ing fast by the early 2000's. Yet people still insisted on bringing that god damn whistle with them to clubs and blowing completely un-synced to the beat or melody all night long, just trying to fit in (or stand out).
I'm happy to say that I don't think I heard a single whistle being blown at a single event in 2010, thus leaving me to believe that that distinct sound of a proper party has officially passed. I'm sure there's many other rave novelties unseen today, or on the brink of elimination. But this one goes out to The Whistle.
You will be missed. But not really.
:tongue2 |
In toronto the whiners have won, yes. But go just about anywhere overseas and the whistle is in full effect. And people still love it. |
