I gotta say; I really
don't understand dj culture. "Spinning," as they call it seems to
me to just be some guys bringing their CD collection into a club and
putting it into a player. We went to London a few years back, and
I swear everyone we met claimed to be dj'ing at some club or other.
We were invited to Sin Sin by a co-worker who spins there sometimes,
and while I'm sure he's a very fine dj, I can't claim to have noticed
him do much beyond what I did for fifty drunk sorority girls in college
when I threw the latest Young Black Teenagers cut (that's YBT to you,
biatch!) on the house's system. I'm clearly ignorant about this stuff
(and I seriously apologize to said co-worker about my idiocy if he
ever finds his way to this retarded site) but I have a feeling that
I'm not alone in my lack of comprehension. I will say that the music
that did play at our happy hour gathering was good, and actually included
some of that same great early-90s hip-hop that I "spun" at those house
parties way back in the day (word!). The space is upstairs from another
bar, and is pretty small and low-ceilinged. Normally that would be
a bad thing, but not only did it make me feel taller than my towering
5'9", it added a little bit of that VIP room ambiance that I imagine
makes those celeb superstars like Eric Stoltz and Meg Tilly feel safe
and special sequestered away from the general riff-raff. I had a great
time hanging out, drinking entirely too many beers and listening to
some retro tunes in this dark, cozy space. I'm not sure what the crowd
is like normally, but as long as I can stock the place with my co-workers
(both the patrons and the djs), it's a fine, fine place to be. [MF]
