Producers and DJs writing about themselves in third person, laying it on thick to a hilarious degree:
| quote: | | Karim Shaker already listened to music before being born, his mother loved to place a radio on her belly for her future son to hear the sounds from the outsider World. From this point he started to focus his whole life into the electronic music. |
He started focusing on electronic music before he was born. Can you top that?

| The worst is when it's an obvious self-written bio that speaks from the third person yet still includes first person quotations. "I find those particularly obnoxious," says me. |

I always prefer the ones that piss-take the whole process. Here's Longwalkshortdock's profile:
| quote: | | Longwalkshortdock esentially started the first time Dave King heard gritty electronic music in early eightys videogames. Strongly influenced by these sounds and melodys, Dave started recording and looping segments as a child. He also got a taste for sampling and recording; Taping segments of his piano practice to fool his parents into thinking he was practicing in the other room. Dave then noticed he was writting his profile in the third person......... After briefly considering the pretentious implications of doing this he decided to continue on with it. After the early years of video game loops, longwalkshortdock went through many years of musical genre infidelity and learned to play many instruments in many styles. After collecting gear, ideas, and collaborators, Dave decided to move from his home town of Calgary to Vancouver to take a degree in sound production and recording. Dave has worked in the studio and played live shows with a host of talented artists. Some highlights include : Playing Live @ Soundwave Music Festival w/Phil Western 04/05, and Opening for Alex Patterson (The Orb) solo @ Soundwave 07..... god i love Soundwave.... anyway, Since then longwalkshortdock has been putting together a large body of work both for album release this year (2008) and for live use in the hopes of creating a positive ear related experience. Also, watch for some remix work, some already available on Beatport.com. Dave also hopes to do some recording and production work for some of vancouvers more talented up and comers like Mike Soviet. Dave then decided that was enough information in the Bio for the time being and decided to stop adding to it right in the middle of typ |

| quote: | There are few things more tedious than reading DJ / Producer biographies. Yes we get it, you listened to Kraftwerk when you were in diapers and you were interested in computing/electronics during your formative years. Thing is, nobody really cares apart from a few of your kindred spirits; who are also vomming out biographies in their spare time...
Keeping that in mind, there is absolutely no reason for you to be reading this biog. There is no interesting back story to ThermalBear, no character arc, no battle against adversity. In fact, what it amounts to is that after many years of consistently underperforming, finally he has managed to get himself out of bed long enough to fart about with his computer for a bit. |
